My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it.

My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it. When it idles, the connection gets lost and even clicking on the network won't connect it. Then I have to turn off wireless and turn it back on for it to connect. My boyfriend's MacBook Pro does not have this same problem and this problem started maybe 2 months ago and nothing about our internet or router has changed, and its only my computer having the problem. Its a 2013 MacBook Air and my softward is: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42). Please help!

Hello, nheredia05.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple steps that I could recommend trying. Power cycle the router and test to see if the behavior persists. Next, try an remove this prefered network from your list and then add it back again. Make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router side and the settings have been optimized for performance. If the issue still persists try the steps in the second article.

Problem connecting laptop to wireless network

Greetings.
I recently installed ArchLinux on my asus N80Vb laptop. I downloaded the .iso for the core installation and burn a CD which I used to install. Checksums were a match. I followed instructions on the installation guide and everything seems to have been a success. I installed all packages which seemed to have anything to
do with wireless networking.
The only problem is that I am having difficulty getting my laptop to connect to the wireless network in the house.
The network wireless interface in the laptop is an Intel WiFi Link 5100. I am assuming the driver is loading properly: output from dmesg | tail is:
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Unable to find TIM Element in beacon
wlan0: Selected IBSS BSSID 2e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx based on configured SSID
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Unable to find TIM Element in beacon
(the x's in the second line are because I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to post the actual numbers).
I followed the manual wireless setup process <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#Part_II:_Wireless_management">here</a> to try to establish a connection and couldn't connect: trying to ping www.google.com gave an unknown host error.
I have netcfg and created a configuration file with the following:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='wireless internet connection
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SCAN='yes'
SECURITY='none'
ESSID='mynetwork'
IP='dhcp'
CHANNEL='6'
When trying to use netcfg I get "Wireless network "mynetwork" not present. [FAIL]
Using iwlist doesn't show <i>mynetwork</i> either, but I know its there because all the PCs, a wii and another laptop are all connected to it without any problems.
(I added CHANNEL='6' because my PC running Fedora shows that it is connected to mynetwork on channel 6, so I thought maybe...).
Connecting via a wired connection is also a possibility but would prefer not to.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Topaz

Problem connecting to a wireless network

I am using 'Aztech' wifi router/ADSL modem for wireless network at my home. I had been connecting fine with the internet using it until yesterday, when, after a software update, I have been unable to connect to the network (I can access it with my wife's laptop, an acer running windows XP). I tried reconfiguring the connection, reconfiguring the settings of the wifi router and even reinstalling the software, but without any positive results.
The current situation is: I can see the network in the list but when I try to connect using the correct password, I keep getting the message "There was an error joining the Airport network '(Network Name)'".
(I have no problem connecting via the cable)
Help me out please...
Mac Book 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had the same problem with my Macbook after the update. It will no longer connect to my router using WPA-PSK authentication. It did work for me after changing my security settings back to using WEP authentication.
I have not been able to figure out the reason for this but this may help get your Macbook back on the internet for now.

Problems connecting to BTFON wireless network

Hi all
I have been connecting to the internet through BT FON for almost a month now but without warning I lost access to the network. Whenever I attempt to connect, it says - Limited or no connectivity and I've noticed that when I attempt to repair the connection it hangs as it fails to renew my IP address. The error message is: failed to renew your IP address. For some reason I've lost connection with the server.
Is the problem with my laptop? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Thanks for your response Riad but my issue is still my issue is still unresolved. I've been trying different locations for the past month without any luck. Everytime I try to connect it returns as "Limited or No Connectivity". I am able to connect to other wireless networks with ease. I am not whether its a settings issue or not.
This bothers me because I still have quite a bit of unused credit in my Fon account. I was browsing happily one minute and the next it just disconnected and hasn't been up since. I checked the map for coverage and it still shows that on my street there are 4 or 5 people with hubs.
Confused!

Problems connecting to Wi-Fi network via 3G and 3Gs (due to modal view?)

I am trying to connect to a protected network via Wi-Fi using two different devices - a 3G (running 3.0) and a 3Gs. This is a corporate network and is only allowed to visit certain websites that are closed off to the outside world. I don't know the exact type of network configuration, but I am unable to connect to sites such as Google, apple.com, etc.
In both cases, when I choose the network in the settings app, I first see an activity indicator that clues me in to a connection being established. Then, after a moment a modal view slides up that is titled "Log In", and according to the text above the title it is going to http://www.apple.com As said above, if this is truly the case it would be a problem for me since I can't visit apple.com. So I see an error page served up by my network, and I am disconnected.
Why is this even going to apple.com? Is the modal view some kind of new feature? Is there anyway to disable it? Note that I am not having this problem using an iPhone 3G or iPod Touch using 2.2.1

Problem connecting PC to wireless network

I am running Airport express and last week I set it up so I required a password - WPA with a network key. I have never had trouble connecting my mac. The day I set it up, I was able to connect my PC to the network - it asked me for network key, and voila it connected. Today I am connected on my powerbook but the pc won't recognize the wireless network. When I try to "repair" the wireless network connection it says windows could not finish repairing because it could complete connecting to the wireless network. Yes, I know this. So why won't it connect? When I "view available networks" on the pc, nothing shows up, but when I click on "change the order of preferred networks" my network is there. I check the properties and it even has the saved network key. I am at a loss, and unfortunately not too savvy with this type of thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for wasting anybody's time...the radio switch was on off on my PC. All is working now...

Major Problems connecting ATV to iTunes

I am having major problems in connecting to my iTunes on my PC. The ATV is not showing up in the devices list at all. It started after I reinstalled windows and reinstalled all the software after having major problems with the internet connection. The ATV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and I can see it on the router home page. I have also done a full factory restore several times. I can access youtube on the ATV so the connection to the router is good. I can connect to the ATV from my laptop so I can assume the ATV is ok. I have tried everything in the the forum that has been advised and I have tried everything in the apple support also and as some one mentioned in other posts I have a very hot paper weight that I can watch crap youtube videos on!!!!
Any help will be truely appreciated.

Not necessarily -- it can still show up in the list but not be properly assigned a network ID (and not available to join the network) if there aren't enough clients available -- are you sure you have it set to at least 50? And you need to make sure you've cloned the Mac address as well if you have a cable modem. It won't hurt to check this. And make sure you try pinging the net ID of the ATV just to make sure it is responding (if not then the ATV unit itself is probably defective).
Let's assume for a moment that both of these settings are fine and it does ping. At that point it almost surely is a permissions thing -- turn off security at the router if wireless (sorry -- this old man just got up and I can't remember if you are wired or not), turn off any firewall and if you have Norton turn it off as well (all of this just for the moment). Stop the iTunes service, reboot the ATV, and then bring up iTunes (which will start up the iTunes service).
I need to shower and then I'm off to the courts (and perhaps I will have awakened and realized something else).

Problems connecting to a Open Network via Wi-fi on Cisco Router

Hi everyone, I know I'm new here but I'm in need of your help, so if you can assist please do so as I cannot live without wi-fi and might have to go back to my nokia again if I can't sort this out.
Vodafone finally released the Iphone on their network in Ireland today and I've picked a 3gs up straight away.
At work I have a wi-fi network with a CISCO router (I have no access to the router as only IT do and they won't change anything to satisfy me and my Iphone anyways). This network has no encryption whatsoever and its free to join, you don't need any password or anything. My nokia at the start couldn't connect as it said that the network needed a pre shared key, this isn't true and in the end it was just change a setting to no auth required for it to log into the network and work perfectly.
Today I got to work and the Iphone can't connect to the network, just says it can't join the network. I cannot find anything about authentication on the settings of the phone nor can I work around this at all. I've had a Ipod touch for (the 2nd gen) for over 2 years and I gave up trying to set it up at work because I just couldn't find what was wrong with it, I ended up almost not using it other than when traveling or on the gym.
So first question is there any way I can access the authentication settings for wi-fi connections on the Iphone? Maybe its just a little change that is needed like the nokia.
Has anyone experienced this problem on a open network that they cannot join?
Any other sugestions? Anything really?
Thank you very much for your time guys, I would really really appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Rod
PS: I've also tried to install the Iphone configuration utility however I don't know how to access the profiles on the phone, anyone can help with this so I can try the profile I've created?
I don't think it is going to work because the options available on the configuration utility are basicly the same available on the Iphone itself.
Anyone has any sugestion on how to solve this problem??? Thanks very much.

Problems connecting Express to Extreme network.

I have an Extreme network I just set up with an older model, AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Generation), with the most basic settings and a simple password. I have an older Express that I'm attempting to extend the network with and use a printer on, which I have before on another similar Extreme network. The Express is Model A1392 with software probably 2 years old.
I am using the latest build of Yosemite and Airport Utility v. 6.3.4.
Extreme network is great, I did a push-button reset on the Express, opened Utility while light went to flashing orange and Utility doesn't find anything under "Other WiFi Devices":
I then try and join the "New Airport Base Station": Airport Express under the Wifi dropdown and it goes into this mode, but never does anything after several minutes:
I don't know what to do. Any help?

Weeeeeeeell, I do have an iPhone (latest iOS) and I ran Airport Utility, and this just sat and went forever with no result....
Then I went to the Wireless area and saw this:
Selected "Set Up..." and got this:
Which then turns into "Joining Airport Express..." which after a couple minutes turns into "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Which I have done several times now to no result...

When iBooks has a problem connecting to a wifi network, it hangs and the page goes blank

i use the books I have in iBooks as study aids, a lot. I find that when I am in the vicinity of a new or busy wifi network that the page or bookshelf just goes blank, I have to switch wifi off and restart the app, then it works again. It is most annoying though.

Reboot router, make sure it's up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).

Macbook sometimes has problems connecting

The brief summary is that my Macbook (white, core duo) has problems connecting to my G network when it has been on sleep mode. A restart usually fixes the issue until the computer goes to sleep again.
The G network is comprised of a Linksys WRT54GS that connects using WDS to the AirPort Express (G model). This network is used for any devices that use B/G and to share a printer. I use MAC address filtering (the lists are updated on both the AirPort Express and the Linksys routers), and security is WEP 128 (Because I could never get WPA or WPA2 to work with WDS...)
Here is what I've done to try to remedy the situation:
* Tried to remove the wireless security, and just let the MAC filtering work. This had no effect.
* Tried to remove the MAC filtering, and just let the wireless security work. This also had no effect.
* Tried to unplug the AirPort Express. _This worked, and allows the Macbook to connect everytime._
This leaves me somewhat puzzled; why would restarting the macbook allow it to connect? (this would imply the problem is with the airport express, not the macbook?), Is it more likely that it's the AirPort Express device itself or a problem with the WDS linking? (Airport Utility shows everything is fine). I use manually-assigned IPs, but could it be a problem with IP lease times?
While most computers use the Airport extreme N network (which is wired to the linksys router), all iPod touchs (5 of them), iPhones, and two PCs use the same G network and have never exhibited the same problem. I have reformatted the white macbook, deleted any airport preference files, etc., to no avail.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
Check some settings on your Macbook as follows:
Open System Preferences and click on Network so that your connections are displayed on the left of the pane.
Click the small gear shaped icon at the bottom of the connection list area
Select Set Service Order and make sure your Airport connection is at the top of the list so that it will be first in line for a connection. (If ethernet is set first now, your computer is spending time trying to find an ethernet connection before it looks for an Airport connection).
Now click on your Airport connection on the left to highlight it and click Advanced at the lower right of the pane.
Make sure that your network is at the top of the list of wireless networks so your computer won't spend time looking for other wireless networks first.
Delete any networks that you no longer need.
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Remember any networks this computer has joined"
Leave the next two boxes unchecked.
Any help?

Having problems connecting wireless?

Hi All,
I just got my MACBOOK two days ago and having some issues connecting wireless.. I can connect to my LINKSYS wireless router but it seems after about 7 mins of use I can no longer connect to the router. I have reset the router and even changed it but I still seem to have the same issue.
If I use only PC's on my wireless network I don't have any issues.. It seems like the MAC messes up my network and it will not work again unless I take the power out of the router and then modem.
I have used my comp at a friends house connecting to their linksys router without any issues.
ANY IDEAS?
THANKS

If you have no problems connecting wirelessly on another network, then I'd look at your router as the probably culprit. Do you have any problems connecting to the router by Ethernet cable? Are your Network preferences configured properly? Have there been any firmware updates released for your router that you have not installed? Have you tried a different router in your home network? For example, try a D-Link DI-524. I've had good success with it. I've never had a really satisfactory experience with LinkSys, but that's my personal experience.

Need help connecting to BEFW11S4 wireless network

A friend I visit often has a BEFW11S4 router. Other friends who visit connect immediately to the unsecured wireless network. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons I'm unable to connect with either of my laptops, so have to plug in the LAN. This is the only place I've ever had a problem connecting to a wireless network.
My laptops are Toshiba Satellites, running Windows XP Home & Office, respectively. Sometimes they won't even recognize the network, or when they do, just won't connect. I've gone through the tutorial and all settings numerous times, turned off the firewall, turned off Norton and still no luck. Any help getting me connected is appreciated. Thanks.

In your computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete any existing entry for your friend's network. Reboot your computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and add your friends SSID. Then select this SSID and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should login automatically when computer boots up.
Hope this helps.
