New iPhone 5 having trouble finding wireless networks

New iPhone5 works on home network but is unable to join work network and can't find church network. iPad 2 and previous iphone4 worked fine on both networks.
What should I do?

Hi there sadlerb98!
Being able to connect to Wireless Networks is definitely an important function and I'm regretful to learn your iPhone 5 is having difficulties doing so! Let's make sure we try all options to get you connected. I appreciate you trying the Network Reset option first. Please ensure your information is backed up and complete a hard reset on your phone: http://vz.to/1cfZDog
Restore your information and test the wireless connections again. Please keep me posted on your results!
Thanks!

Trouble finding wireless network

hey
i've recently set up the wireless network in my house.
I am using a Belkin54g wireless access point, attached to my network which is uing a Belkin router.
My housemate who is using a Vista powered laptop can find and connect to the network easily. (Thus i know it is working)
However my MBP cannot see or connect to the network.
All computers on the network can connect via ethernet. (including MBP)
any help would be greatly appreciated.

no worries.
its just out of range in my room

Old router broke - got new one and having trouble getting wireless to work

Hi -I've had a 1st gen ATV for about a year. I've had difficulties when my router gets disconnected or something for a while. I had it replaced today. Now I'm having a problem getting the aTV to hook up wifi.
Everything runs perfectly streaming from my computer (PC) when hooked up with ethernet. But when I disconnect - the screen does not show the router address or the dns address and the connection is lost. I know its an easy fix but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. I'm ok with a computer but not totally tech savvy.
I've tried shutting down my router firewall and my computer firewall. I tried as suggested on the site to add the MAC info. When i run the wireless set up - it sees my new router (2wire) and goes thru that, then it says it connected or something but that I am not connected to the internet. It gives me the option to do that and it appears to work but then no router or DNS info and therefore it won't work.
Can you help?

is there any manual setting of the IP address setup on the Apple TV? If it is stuck with an old Manual setup on it, it could be not getting the new assignment from your Router.... is the router setup with DHCP enabled? Have you verified that you can connect to the internet from any other device such as an iPad, iPhone, Macbook, Notebook or wifi anything other than the apple tv?

Having trouble correcting Wireless Network settings

I have managed to turn on a feature on one particular SSID and am unable to correct this. When I open firefox or chrome while connected to this network, I get a bunch of downloads for php scripting. This only happens on that one network. Background traffic, such as Steam or OneWay(ftp client) work without issue.
I have tried removing the Network entry but any time I reconnect, the information has already been stored, and I can find no way of either getting rid of this information or editing the channels/frequency the network operates on.
Does anyone have any ideas? Command line or GUI is fine.

I'm not sure I understand what you're experiencing…
When I open firefox or chrome while connected to this network, I get a bunch of downloads for php scripting.
What do you mean? can you give an example? screenshot? URL? something?
For the most part, applications are unaware of the physical network setup, so they won't change their behavior based on the network you're connected to (the exception to this is the use of proxies in different Locations, but that doesn't sound like the issue here).
Without visualizing the different experiences on this one SSID vs any other it's hard (impossible?) to tell you what to change.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions?

Takes a long time to find wireless network

So for the past few months my (Santa Rosa) MBP will take an extremely long time to find a wireless network. This happens both at home and other places where I have connected in the past and am wanting to use a remembered network. It can take as long as two and a half minutes to connect. If I click on the airport icon in the menu bar, then it says it's scanning for networks during this time.
Usually if I create a new location then the problem will go away but then seems to come back. The problem also persists if I use a different user.
I've repaired permissions, done a disk repair and even used Diskwarrior. I miss instantly finding wireless networks. It's a small inconvenience, granted but was hoping to get this fixed once and for all.
Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Thanks all.

My computer also has been taking a long time to find a wireless network, up to several minutes. I often have to have it "scan" for networks several times before it finally picks it up. Is there a solution? This has been going on for many months. Other computers (PCs, iPhone) pick up the signals within a few seconds, but my Powerbook takes several minutes, even over 5 minutes sometimes.
See how many networks are listed in Sys Prefs: Network: Advance. Drag the preferred to the top. Delete any you don't really need.

AC 6.01 Message: Find wireless Network is disabled. Contact your network administrator

hi, i cant manage wireless networks with AC 6.01. Profile "Create" is greyed out and I am not able to create new profiles, can't find new wireless network etc. Few weeks ago, everything was working fine. When I try Fn+F5 and click "Find Wireless Netowork" I got message "Find wireless Network is disabled. Contact your network administrator". I am administrator on computer.
What i found interesting is that if i stop the service "AcPrfMgrSvc" from services.msc, i can find networks but then i cant use AC profiles i.e. cant create profiles and cant connect to any saved profile. This problem gave me real headache. This might be a problem due to any windows update.
I m using Windows 7 on Thinkpad E520. Please helppppp....

I don't think this is a Windows update problem. I encountered this same problem
immediately after I allowed Lenovo to update my laptop a month or so ago. (I have
always refused to allow Lenovo to update my system since I didn't trust them -
apparently with good reason - but I finally said OK. (My Windows 7 OS has not been
updated since Nov. 2012.) Lenovo has been no help in fixing the problem they
created (which has put Lenovo at the bottom of my list for future systems - see below.)
I have not tried disabling "AcPrfMgrSvc", I am only commenting on not being able
to Find Wireless Networks. I have read posts/comments in various places saying
to revert to a previous "version" of something (I don't remember what - AC?), but
have found nothing that explicitly states how to do that - as if it should be obvious.
Not helpful either. Documenting that would be the least Lenovo itself could do. (I
did try reverting to a full system backup I had made the day before, but I found I could
not do that without having a system disk that Lenovo said would cost $50 - which also
means NONE of the backups I have done over the last year and a half have any
value?)
So I have pretty much stopped using my two recent Lenovo systems and gone back
to my 9-year old Linux system.

Sometimes cannot find wireless networks??

i've looked around on a couple messege boards, but they didn't seem to be exactly the same problem i was having.
essentially, after waking up from sleep or hibernate, i sometimes cannot find wireless networks. the wireless switch will be on, Fn + F5 says my wireless is on, yet nothing can be found. strangely, when i try to turn off wireless, whether it's through Fn +F5, or the hardware switch, the light below the monitor remains ON. basically, i can't even turn it off. when i do click the button to try and turn off wireless, it gives me the busy cursor and eventually the whole menu disappears.
the way to fix this is by restarting.
just today, however, i suffered this same problem, even though i wasn't coming back from sleep or hibernate - it just lost connection randomly and then couldn't find any networks. attempts to turn off wireless failed.
is there a solution? is this actually the same problem that was remedied by changing a power setting?
thanks in advance.

Yeah I'm having this problem too, with my antique T41 running XP. It used to be rock solid it seemed to change when I installed XP SP3.
I have tried reinstalling the Intel drivers but that hasn't helped. It seems when it restarts after hibernate (and occasionally at other times, as with the previous poster) it somehow doesn't lock on to the signal or it gets confused in the protocol or something. It doesn't always happen though - about one in three. Rebooting cures it...until the next time....
any assistance / ideas most welcome, thanks.
PS I'm using Windows Zero Configuration not Access Connections. That was a change some years ago that made it work better so I'm inclined to stick with that unless someone can tell me why not....

JournE Air 801 Not Finding Wireless Networks

My Air 801 was able to see my wireless networks when I first switched it on. I was having difficulty in getting WPA2 security to work so I reset the 801 to factory defaults using the reset hardware button on the device.
Now I am unable to find any wireless networks.
Any ideas how I can get my 801 to find wireless networks again?
Thanks for your help/advice.

Hi
Are you sure the Wifi is enabled in the settings of Air 801?
Usually the WLan icon should be visible in the left upper corner if the WLan has been enabled.
I downloaded the user manual for Air 801 (Toshiba European page -> Support and download -> user manual). On the page 42 you can find all the details about networking.
You can use the Wifi protected setup. This is the easiest way to connect to the network.
- Select Wifi protected setup and press OK
- press the wps button on your wlan router and then press ok to continue
- press exit to return to the previous page.
Then use the Wifi wizard to detect and to connect to WLan router in your area.
- select wifi wizard
- press up and down to select your preferred router
- press OK to confirm your selection
- enter the password for e secured router
You can also use the advanced configuration
For this check the user manual!

HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday. Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.
we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on. Turned wireless off and back on.
but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
What do do next?

Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
Click Delete on your keyboard
It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

IPhone 4s can't find cellular network. iPad logged right on. Tried soft reset and two button reset, neither worked. In Detroit airport any ideas?

Iphone 4s can't find cellular network in Detroit airport. iPad logged right on. Tried reset network and hard boot and airplane off on. No luck. Any ideas?

So, I can see that nobody had any ideas. In case anyone is interested, I did cave and get an Airport Extreme. My iPhone 4s connected in about 3 seconds, as did my MacBook, my iMac and my old 3G phone. The router is in the EXACT SAME SPOT as my Netgear router. No reception problems, no dropping wifi.
The Sony Blu-Ray connected on the second attempt, but the TiVos are another story. Reset my N-adapters to factory default and then did setup, found the network just fine assured me that my wifi was configured to the new router, but the TiVos refuse to connect. It's always something! lol I'm sure somebody can tell me how to fix this.

I am having trouble using my network magic on other laptops

Dear SIRS I AM HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING ON NETWORK MAGIC ON MY OTHER COMPUTERS

Hi there, can you please post some addtional info so that the Cisco Network Magic Support Community here on the Linksys Forums can assist you? The info that is needed is as follows:
1. Your Network Magic Version installed: example: 5.1.8345.0
2. The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection.
3. The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to.
4. The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version: Linksys WRT54G v8.2 Firmware Version 8.2.05
5. The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless.
6. The Connection in use on the problem computer: Ethernet Port is a PCI Adapter Card, Linksys WMP54G v4.1
7. Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, if any. Ex. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 1
8. Software Firewall in use: McAfee Personal Firewall 9.0.136 Build
9. Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer. (Some Programs like Spybot does cause problems, not being able to go to specific sites.)
10. Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)
11. Post the link to your Router Model, if an off-brand Router or not found in the USA on the Manufacturer's USA's Website. (Why? Posters helping each other, aren't working for Linksys or Cisco, so make it easier on the posters helping on.)
12. And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
13. By posting all this information, you can hopefully get help from someone that has the same equipment that you have and theirs is working. Not everyone has the same equipment.
(Thanks to thecreator for providing me this list of info needed for NM support)
Please note that I am note that I'm not an employee of Cisco, and I am volunteering my time on here to assist other NM users, thanks!
