No longer able to connect to home network

my connection had been fine since i got my phone but yesterday when i tried to re-connect it said "unable to join" and has kept saying that even though i put my password in

Hello Cjruns
The following steps below may assist with resolving this issue and assist in the troubleshooting. If they do not help and or you have additional questions please post.
1. Is your network password security WEP? if so is it 40 or 64 bit?
If it is WEP and 40 or 64 bit password. Please change your WEP to 128 bit which means you would then need to create a 13 character password.
or if you have all newer technology in the house and it supports it. Use WPA/WPA2 Personal which means you would then need to create an 8 character password minimum.
Your iPhone should pickup this new change in security. But to be on the safe side do the following.
1. Settings- WiFi- Tap on your networks blue circle and tell it Forget this network if possible
2. Settings- General - Reset- Reset Network Settings - Confirm - iPhone will reboot
Now go back and reconnect to your WiFi with your current wireless password.
This should fix the issue you have assuming you were using WEP 40 or 64 bit Security.
Please consult your ISP and or Router Manufacture for assistance on changing security settings in the router. This is simply advice of something you can try.
If you want to rule this as a possible security conflict. The quickest way is to turn security off on your router, and Reset Network settings in iPhone. Now when you go to connect to your WiFi it should have no Padlock on it. And it should connect without any issues.
If this does happen it means the iPhone works well with the router and you need to use a different security type mentioned above.
Also Firmware Updates to the router could potentially resolve the issue as well. But again consult your ISP or Router Manufacture before you do this.

Macbook air not detecting home wifi but detecting all other networks in vicinity. Other devices are able to connect to home network.

I have had this problem since yesterday. My macbook air is not detecting the home wifi network it used to be connected to. A manual addition of the network is also not working. I also tried using network utility which gives the details of all networks available and their details, but the home network does not feature there.
However, my iPhone is able to connect to the home wifi without a glitch. I am right now using a mobile data card to access internet, but need to get back to the home network.
I found various users posting the same problem online, but am yet to find a conclusive problem. Here are two threads on apple support which are similar to my case.

Please help!

It was not working for me either and I spent a day looking at things other people did when they had similar problems. Never could find a conclusive response and what has been suggested here was always almost the only thing mentioned. I wish you luck and hopefully someone can actually point out the one true thing that is doing this!
This is the exact sequence of events: I switched off the main supply to the house when I was going out, and when I came back this problem occurred. I was searching desperately online and just when I had given up, I decided to switch mains off and then back on. It picked up the wifi, and has been working since. This was a shocker and mostly a coincidence. Wont hurt to try.

No longer able to connect to 3g network, 1x only

My father has been having issues connecting to the 3g network with a verizon usb dongle for about a month now. He was sent another dongle (4g/3g) and is still having the same issue. I went to his house yesterday and I had the same problem with my droid incredible. No 3g even though I used to have solid 3g coverage there. I updated the prl on my phone while I was there and still only 1x. There is a tower about 4 miles from his house. He lives in Northeast NC zip 27820. Are there any issues in this area?

kidsmakeyoucraz,
I do understand not getting a 3G signal, especially when you should be, would be disappointing! I checked the zip code you provided, and do not see any specific 3G signal issues in your area, however, something is clearly preventing your 3G signal and I would like to further troubleshoot.
If you are still having the issue with maintaining a 3G signal at your fathers address, please reply to my private message with some additional information.

Try this first. 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.
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 (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Used to be able to connect to home Wi-Fi network, but no more

Used to be able to connect to home Wi-Fi network, but all of the sudden my IPad has stopped connecting. I have verified that the Wi-Fi network is operational (IPhone, smart TV, laptop) and also that the IPAD is operational (Wi-Fi hot spots). I have tried forgetting the network and adding it back in - but IPAD just sits and spins. Have also forgotten network and intentionally entered incorrect password, and I do receive an immediate reject so I know the IPAD is talking to the router.
Any ideas?

I upgraded my iphone os into 5.1 I found out I'm no longer able to connect into my home Wi Fi....please help

Update router and reboot router.

After updating to 10.7.3 I am no longer able to connect to the internet.

Updated to 10.7.3 this morning on my Macbook Air (Oct. 2010 model). After restarting, I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to the router, and pull a valid IP address (sometimes - other times I get an automatic private IP), but I am unable to get to any websites, check email, etc. I am able to ping websites AND visit websites using their IP addresses, but not using their DNS names.
I called Applecare this morning, and the tech walked me through some troubleshooting steps, including:
Rebooting into Repair partition to check connectivity there (same issues, no change)
Deleting and recreating various config files (Networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist and com.apple.airport.preferences.plist) (no change)
I've also tried reinstalling the update (both delta and combo), repairing disk permissions and rebooting into safe mode, nether of which has solved the issue.
Also on the network are (Mini, not updated to 10.7.3), a PC, my iPhone and an Apple TV, all of which aren't experiencing any issues. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Here is something to try. Boot into the Recovery HD by holding
down Command+R when booting. Select the get help online option.
It initially opens Safari with a local web page, but you can use
the bookmarks on the bookmark bar or even enter a website.
Many extensions may not be available but it could tell you if
it is your Lion install that is a problem or perhaps a hardware
problem.
If you can browse around in this mode, then it could eliminate
any possible hardware issues. If you still have problems, then
the issue could possibly be hardware/driver related.
Give it a shot and see what happens.

WiFi no longer able to even see wireless networks

At some point (I believe after installing an update) my iPhone is no longer able to find any wireless networks. It will just continue to "spin" on the choose a network screen and never finds any. Trust me when I say the wireless access point is working and isn't the problem. I used to be able to connect to it and haven't changed anything. Plus there are other iPhone and iTouch users in my house that use it without a problem as well.
Here are the things I've tried:
1. Switch to airplane mode then switch back
2. Reset Network Settings in the general\reset menu
3. Upgrade to the latest and greatest iphone OS
4. Finally, I did a reset to factory defaults losing all of my apps and settings. THIS WORKED until I did a restore of my backup to get my apps and data back.
Is there any way to get this working again without losing everything and starting over?

This is a user to user help forum only.
Copied from my previous post.
If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
Apple's solution if no change after what was copied from my previous post is an exchange under warranty since your iPhone has a hardware problem. With a hardware problem the only solution is an exchange under warranty. If there is no Apple store nearby, you can call AppleCare. If you have purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. If you haven't purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, if you pay $29 the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. You must give AppleCare a credit card in case you don't return your existing iPhone within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received. You use the same box to return your existing iPhone with the return shipping label located below the shipping label to you. AppleCare includes tape to reseal the box and a small paperclip to remove the SIM card from your existing iPhone. The phone number for the shipping carrier is included in the box. When the box is ready to be picked up to return your existing iPhone to Apple, you call the carrier.

Satellite L650-11R - not able to connect to public networks

Hello there.
Although I am very pleased with my laptop, I have one problem. I am not able to connect to public networks using ethernet cable at some location (not everywhere) Users with different laptops have no problem connecting to the same networks that I cannot, so I'm guessing the problem is my laptop.
I always get "unidentified network" error. I tried replacing the cable but the problem still remains.
Any suggestions?

Hi everybody, I have the same problem which happened with united & for the same product Satellite L650-1HR & also using default Toshiba OS, Windows 7 home premium.
from my home I can't connect to internet & always get "unidentified network" error also I tried replacing the cable but the problem still remains. only at my home & the same cable working properly with any other Laptop without any problem, outside home internet working properly without any problem.
I tried all ways, turned off firewall & the DHCP is already enabled, but I'm getting message telling that " the local aria connection does not have a veiled IP configuration"
So what do you think?

Airport Extreme Card (will not automatically connect to home network)

Running OSX (10.4.7) on a G5 2.0 DualCore. I just had an Airport Extreme Card installed by Apple a week ago. Everything was working fine with WiFi ( I use a Lynksys Router. But oddly now when I cold boot up, the Airport Extreme will not automatically connect to my home network. The little Airport icon on the upper right is always greyed out ( even though clicking on the icon... says that Airport is "On" ). So I now have to manually select my home network everytime I boot up. The first week or so though, I didn't have to do this...it just automtically connected to my home network. I made no changes to the router settings, nor the Network prefs.

I have been able to get my home network running with simultaneous access to the internet with the MacMini and the PB G4 via a WL router (Netgear WGR614v4 with four ethernet ports).
This was the process:
1a) Turned off airport on both computers.
1b) Turned off both compters and
1c) disconnected the router from the cable modem.
a) Disconnected ethernet cable from WL router to Macmini.
2b) Powered down the router for 10 seconds.
3a) Keeping both computers unpowered,repowered router and pressed the reset button (behind an unmarked tiny hole in the back of the router) then re-connected it to cable modem. Waited 30 - 40 seconds until internet service lights flickered green.
3b) Reconnected ethernet cable to MacMini and turned on power for MacMini. No Airport running. With administrator privilege I configured in Syst. Prefs. "Sharing" folder Internet access using "Built in Ethernet" port for computers running "Airport".
4) Turned Airport network on in MacMini and started browser.
Result: Internet connection established.
5a) Powered up PB G4 and then turned Airport on.
5b) In Syst. Prefs. in "Sharing" folder turned Internet Sharing off. But set "Share your connection from Airport" to computers using: Airport with check-mark. (No Built-in Ethernet and no Built-in FireWire!)
5c)Started browser. Result: Internet connection established.
6a) In the Finder window of both computers I clicked on "Go" in toolbar and looked for the name of the other computer, which were listed as alias besides the "Library" and "Servers" aliases. Clicking on the computer alias brought up the 'Networked Globe' and a control button "Connect".
6b) Clicking on "Connect" brought up the mounted drive of the other computer.
Result: Wireless network operational.
PS: I don't dare yet using encryption for the airport network. That's for another day.
Power Book G4, MacMini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

Airport Express is no longer able to extend my Airport network.

After the 7.6.1 upgrade, my Airport Express is no longer able to extend my Airport network. I didn't change any configuration, but as I was confirming the configuration options in Airport Utility, I noticed that the option for the Airport Extreme to "allow this network to be extended" is missing and that my Airport Express had been changed to client mode. I really need the capability of extending the range of my network, it worked before the firmware upgrade, so how can I get it back? The hardware are both less than a year old (I bought them in the summer of 2011).

I suggest downloading Airport Utility 5.6
It was released the sameday as 6.0 but it doesn't have the features you used to have as you just found out.

IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

User no longer able to connect to afp shared drive

I have upgraded our server to 10.7.1. After about a week about 2/3 of our users are no longer able to connect to the shared drive using afp. It worked fine for the first week and now several users cannot connect. When attempting to coonect to the afp share it does not even attempt to authenticate. Please help.

Is the firewall service turned off? Can you connect to the localhost from the server itself (afp://127.0.0.1/) ?
