N80 WiFi Connects but doesn't work

My new N80ie connects to my ACTIONTEC AP but won't connect to any websites or e-mail servers. It simply says 'Connecting' for ever until I press 'Cancel'. This AP is Public & Open, having no security.
At work, I have a Cisco AP running WEP. My N80 detects that AP and prompts for the password but will not connect.
Can anyone help? I thought the N80 would detect and connect to ANY AP once security was passed.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

My wifi was disconnected and turned back on. Now my phone either won't connect to the wifi or connects but doesn't work

Reset network settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings.
Then re-connect to WifI by setting it up again.

Wifi shows connected but doesn't work

My iPhone 4 shows that it is connected to my home network, but the wifi doesn't work. I know that the router is working because another computer on the network is working fine.

Try following:
Delete the WiFi network from your iPhone.
Disconnect the WiFi router from the power cord, let it be a few minutes, then reconnect.
Reset the iPhone by holding the Power button and the Home button at the same time, keep holding, ingnore everything on the screen, until you see the white Apple logo, then let go and let the iPhone restart. Set the WiFi t on and put in the password.
That should do it.

IPod Touch 3G Wifi Problem...says it is connected but doesn't work?

After my iPod connects to a network for wifi, it says that it is connected to that network, and the wifi symbol appears in the top left hand corner to show that it is connected. But, whenever I try to go to Safari or another app involving the internet, the iPod says "invalid argument" and the internet doesn't work at all. How do i fix this problem?

Have you tried the basic troubleshooting here?

First try:
- powering off and then a minute later power back on your router.
- Reset network settings on your iPod: Settings>General>Reset
- Resetting youriPod

My wifi is connected but doesn't work

The download speeds on my iPhone 4 via wifi dropped from 18+ Meg's to .23 Meg's
The upload speeds are good at about 7.8 Meg's and holding.
My phone always shows signal and connection and doesn't
Disconnect at all. I have had this phone for a year and this issue started the
Beginning of dec. Is there a seperate transmit and receive antena?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

The wifi is connected I've verified this by enabling airplane mode.
The icon for wifi is on and I can pass limited traffic.
(see former post). Turned off cellular data and 3G too.
I get .23 on the download and 7.9 on the upload.
So I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the wifi access point.
I'm showing the phones Mac address in the routers arp table too.
4 laptops, 2 other iPhones and 2 iPod touches all connect to this same
Access point with speed test results from 10-18 Mbps On the download.
3-8 Mbps on the upload.

Wi-fi "connected" but doesn't work

i have wi-fi that has worked great with my iPhone but now it shows that it connects but wen i try to use the browser or any web based application it will not work... i have reseted my iphone, removed and replaced the sim card, changed and reseted the wi-fi web settings etc. and it still won't work...can anybody help this is very urgent.

Same here. Email and safari work only with edge. My wifi is connected however it doesn't connect to anything outside my own network(i.e I can use Airmouse or istat but it won't download emails or open web pages). I've checked the router but that all seems correct and the other computers in the house connect ok.
I did have an app upgrade for firmware v3.0, could this possibly be the cause?
Did you get a solution?

Networks connects, but doesn't work

I work at a hospital and one of our patients has a macbook. We setup a wireless account for him and he connects fine (Sees cisco wap/gets correct ip address), but he can't get to anything. His email client hangs and Safari never connects to the web. I tried pinging, but even that doesn't work. Turning off the enthernet port didn't help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Camileo X Sports - wifi connect app doesn't work

Got this as i thought it was as good as the gopro 3+ black and to be fair even thought its bigger it is as good.
the camera is spot on but feel its let down by the toshiba wifi connect app that you have to use to down load video.
I use the camera on my motorbike and 20 miniutes or so of video.... come home go to download video using the app and it wont work ... down load failed
Anyone have the same problem or is it just me ?

What Android version did you try?
As far as I know the app works perfectly with Android 4.4 "KitKat" but some people reported issues with the Android 5 “Lollipop”… but this app issue could be fixed only by app developer.

New ideapad A1000-f won't wifi connect, troubleshooting doesn't work

still on android 4.1 because can't connect to upgrade the OS. our tv abnd blu-ray connect fine and so do computers.
Authentication error. it refuses to connect to wifi. tried troubleshooting steps.
router: linksys E4200 v1.0 1.00.0.5 firmware, encryption set to mixed.
some strange things are happening:
when I connect to the 2.4GHz b/g/n connection on my router (mixed mode encryption on a linksys E4200 router, 20MHz channel width, 1.00.05 firmware), it tries to connect and fails with error, the ntries again, etc. passkey is correct. should have easily connected and stayed connected. signal was awful when it should have been great.
manual connection to 802.11n 5GHz band won't work. it doesn't see the SSID. I have a different SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. so I can only assume it's a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n only.
connecting to the guest account somehow gets better signal (why? signal with 2.4GHz is pretty good around the house actually). however it shows as locked and when I connect, it doesn't ask for a passkey. there is a password on the guest account, the default one. connects and drops immediately with error. then reconnects and drops immediately. etc. it should have asked for a passkey. if it knows this somehow because it's a guest account, it should have connected and stayed connected.
I just need a tablet that works.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as it turns out, I forgot I had my wifi mac address filtering turned on some time back due to being paranoid because of what I thought was a security issue. disabled it and all was great.

Mighty Mouse Connects but doesn't work

Since I installed my Wacom Intuos 4 My mouse hasn't worked properly. It connects, but when I check the green light, it flashes twice over and over. Can anyone help?

Hello m:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not have a tablet installed so I am guessing.
The Wacom web site does indicate that both a mouse and tablet may be connected, but only one at a time.
Try a couple of things One at a time):
Be sure you have the latest driver from Wacom.
1. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
2. Delete the mouse, restart, and see if it connects and pairs.

Internet connects, but doesn't work properly

I know there are a lot of topics on this, but mine is pretty specific. I'm using a Macbook I bought last August (Model Identifier MacBook4,1) and running OS 10.5.6 (I can't update to 10.5.7 because I`m having trouble connecting. Recently I noticed a bit of lag between the time my computer appeared to connect to networks via built-in aiport (the airport signal would turn dark in the top right hand corner with and show my signal strength) and when the the computer was actually able to transfer data from the internet (i.e. web pages wouldn't load on browsers and other applications faild to load data and stated there was no connection to the interent). It didn't seem to matter much what network I was logging onto (my home network, my school's, or a wifi hotspot. I'm not great with wireless networking, but I've used macs all my life and and know how to use them very well. I could usually fix the problem by quiting all apps and waiting a few minutes or restarting my computer. I recently arrived in Costa Rica to study abroad, and much to my dismay the problem has worsened. There aren't many places to access the interent here, but the school I am studying at and a cafe have wifi. When I try to connect it my computer has three problems. Sometimes it does't recognize the network even when I am right next to the modem where the signal is strongest. When I search for a network enough times it eventually recognizes the network though. Once I find the network when I click to connect it sometimes starts connecting then just stops before connecting. If I click to connect to the network enough times it eventually connects. When I am supposedly connected it my computer can't trasfer data. When I click on Network Diagnostic it at the Network Settings stage a window pops up stating the Network COnfiguration has changed. The internet the works for a minute or two before once again discontinuing the trasfer of data while inciating I am still connected. I have tried restoring network settings to defaults, but this doesn't change anything. Neither network requires a password. Two fellow students with the same model of MacBooks have been able to connect without problems. We've tried looking at all of my settings and haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. I have a nagging suspicion that my airport card may just be shot. I will be here for most of the summer and I'm pretty sure that my waranty expires while I'm here. There is an Apple store in San Jose about 30 minutes from where I'm staying. So my questions are: 1. Does anyone know how to fix my computer, because I would really like to use it to comunicate with my family? and 2. If it is defective can I take it to the Apple store here even though I purchased it in St. Louis, Mo USA (I've found that my battery is defective already though these forums because only one thread had my specific problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month until I return to the States without paying to extend the warranty 1-3 years (being a student who's already taking out loans to study abroad I don't have much cash on hand nowdays)?

Try connecting to a network with an ethernet cable and see how it performs. If that is also not responding this would indicate a possible software error.
problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month
Apple does not cover batteries under warranty as batteries do loose their capacity over time. If a battery suddenly stops working then apple may look into that. You would have to speak to apple care about that.
You cannot extend a warranty for 1 month you could purchase apple care and get 2 years of extended warranty. Although if the problem is reported to apple care prior to your warranty expiring then you may be ok, but I stress you would have to talk to apple care directly about this.
Why not take the mac into the apple store I am sure you can make an appointment to see an apple genius anywhere in the world.

HT4628 Wifi detected but doesn't work

HELP!
My good old Macbook Pro stopped working online. Every other device works with my DSL wireless modem/router (iPhones, Wii, Satellite receiver, iPad). The diagnostics tell me the Internet and Server failed.
I tried to go direct with an Ethernet cable with the same results.
I think the problem started when I allowed Firefox to upgrade Mozilla yesterday. I tried to delete the browser, library files, reset the PRAM, adjust modem/router settings. Something is still wrong, but strangely I was able to connect to update to Apple to update my software (under Apple menu)....
DSL- AT&T
Router- 2Wire 2701HG-B
Can anybody my old faithful machine? I was hoping to last a little longer before retirement.
Thank you in advance,
Mike

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
