New Ipad2 - I can connect to every wifi except my own home.

I see my home wifi network with full signal strength on the ipad2. When I try to connect it asks for the password. I put in the router password and it says "Cannot join with network". It works fine at my sister's house, at the public library, etc. Just can't connect at home.

Go into SETTINGs/ WiFi/ click the blue arrow on your network. IP ADDRESS, is your Routers address listed in the ROUTER block? If Not that is the problem. Go to STATIC and if you have a wireless phone look at it's network settings, simply copy those settings to the static blocks. My Ipad could find the IP Address but not the Router Address so I found it on my Iphone and used that data. My Ipad works now. And I can tell you that after some slams for board abusers here that what I did is not listed anywhere in these forums.

Ipad2 'fails to connect' to my Wifi.

My Ipad2 'fails to connect' to my Wifi whereas my Iphone 3GS successfully connects and works without issue on the same router. Wifi is WEP encrypted with 26 character code. The Ipad 2 sees the network, yet will not connect. I have tried the 'reset network settings' option and I'm looking for any further suggestions?

The process of checking your router settings depends on the router you have. You will need the manual that came with your router. If you don't have one, you probably can download a manual from the router manufacturer's website.
Basically the process is starting your web browser on a computer that is connected to your network. Entering the IP address of the router in the web address line. Usually the IP address of the router is the same as the IP address of the computer connected to your network except the last number is 1. For example if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.0.132, then the IP address of the router would be 192.168.0.1.
The next question you may have is how do you find the IP address of the computer. If you have a Windows computer, go to Start/Run or Start/Programs/Accessories/Run. Type in "CMD" (no quote marks) and press the Enter key. A DOS window will appear. At the command prompt type "ipconfig" and press the Enter key. The resulting listing should show you the IP address of the computer and the IP address of your router (listed as Default Gateway.) If you have a Mac I can't help you, because I don't have a Mac, but I'm sure someone on this forum would be able to help.
Once you enter th IP Address of your router, you should get a login screen. You will need to log into the router. Note that the login password is not the network passcode. If you do not know the Admin login name and password and you are sure no one has changed the password from the default, the router manual will have this information.
When you are logged into the router you need to consult the router manual to find out how to check the settings. If purchance you have a D-link DIR-625 I can help.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

Try reseting network settings.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

On my new 5, I can connect to wi-fi at work. At home, the 5 keeps looking for a connection. I've rebooted and it works, but as soon as I turn it off/on, I lose it

On my new 5, I can connect to wi-fi at work and different locations. When I get home, it tries to connect but isn't successful. I've reset the phone, reset my wi-fi but as soon as I turn my phone off and on, I lose the connection. I can see my wi-fi network on my phone and the 5 wants to connect, but for whatever reason can't. Any suggestions ?

Go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings and do this this normaly fixes this issue.

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

HT1695 My ipad can connect to the wifi but iPod 4th gen can't, what can I do ??

Hi can someone please , help ?
The wifi we have at home works on all laptops and computers and the family ipad , but doesn't want to work on my iPod 4th gen !!
Please help !!!!!!
I have tried to reset the network setting and the complete iPod no change ?
Thanks

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Want to have My iPod Touch to be connected to a WiFi while away From Home

While at Home I am connected to my WiFi through my computer system but when I am away from home there isn't very much WiFi Hot spots in my area except when I am in a Star bucks or in a business that says that they have "Free" WiFi. I have a few WiFi iPod Touch Apps that are able to locate Free WiFi Hot Spots but when I go and try to use them when I am away from home I am not able to use it at all.
Is there a way that I can have my iPod Touch to be set up where I can be connect to any WiFis when I am away from Home? or have my iPod Touch to be able to search for any WiFis in my area?
Note: I have a MobileMe Account and I have a email account with my local Isp which is a Pop account.

I'll add another positive review about the MiFi device and its use with a Touch. I've had this for about 2 months, and it works very well. And I'll disagree with the poster who said "get an iPhone".
The MiFi has several advantages over the iPhone -- First, it's a mobile hotspot that can provide WiFi for up to 5 devices simultaneously (the iPhone can't do that, even once AT&T enables tethering); Second, the MiFi allows use of a network other than AT&T (which many users may appreciate)...aside from Verizon, Sprint sells a version that works on its network; Finally, the price of the MiFi and its usage plan may well end up being less expensive than an iPhone.
It's not cheap, but then again, neither is an iPhone and its usage plan. I spend nearly $60/month on the expensive MiFi plan, but can switch down (and then back up) to the lower-priced $40/month plan if I don't need the full 5gb a month that the higher plan provides.
Sure, you don't get a telephone with the Touch + MiFi solution (although Skype works well if you add a microphone to your Touch), but not everyone wants/needs a phone...and for those who want primarily data/WiFi/Web, the MiFi with a Touch will give an iPhone a real run for its money.
I'll also add that the original poster may just need access to more hotspots - i.e., other than those that advertise "free" WiFi. If that's the case, she might consider something like a Boingo membership which will get her online in many places...including just about every McDonalds in the US.

Macbook can find every network except my own (iPhone,PC and other device can)

I used to have long hair, but now it's short from me trying to wrap my head around this problem..
My new Macbook Pro have decided to ignore my router and it's driving me nuts!
My iPhone 3gs, PC, Xbox360, 3DS, Printer and Wii are all connected to the router.
The Macbook Pro could earlier connect, but than it suddenly decided that no matter what name, visable or non-visable, password protection or no passward-at-all, or any setting at the router I can possebly try, nothing works, every device EXEPT the bloody fricking Macbook can find and connect.
I hade a friend over to have him try with his own Macbook Pro, AND IT FRICKING finds,connects and the whole deal...
What is wrong with my Macbook and what should I do to fix it?
PS. It connects to the network i have set up at both my mother, father and friends... It ONLY ignores my own home router, that it has been connected to most before....
In dire need of advice
// MacbookPro user

hmm....
I seem to have solved it by deleating my saved networkkeys, deleating com.apple.softwareupdate.plsit, restarted router and laptop after every action I tried and finaly connect to another randome unknown open network close to my bulding, And like magic my router name suddenly appeard in the network list....
Somehow I don't feel satisfied with this "solution".... -.-"
Well, when the problem returns, I will return... ^^"
Thanks For all the help
