Randomly my macbook wont connect to the wifi in my apt except for one area. I have tried everything. Help?
My mac wont connect to the wifi in my apt. it will connect to other networks elsewhere just fine, however. All my other devices still connect anywhere in the apt. Help?
The apt is very small. But i ran istumble and it said the router was giving around 64% and it appears as though no one around is using the same channel as us. Either way, if other comps can pick up on the signal, why isnt mine all of a sudden?

For your issue - Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock

Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

My mac wont connect to the wifi network but all other devices are working fine! Please can you help
My Mac wont connect to my WiFi. It can see the network but has an "!" over the WiFi signal. My iPhone and Surface connect fine. My Mac was working fine yesterday. I've restarted the rooter, the Mac and still not luck. I've changed the WiFi channel, removed and re-added the WiFi network, but I still can't connect. Please can someone help.... thank you !
Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Please help!! Going crazy. My iPad will not work connected to the wifi. I have an iPhone 4S and its working fine. Any suggestions??
If those things don't work I'd take it into the apple store and have them look at it. I've not heard of wifi antennas 'breaking' but that sure sounds like it.
I had my laptop repaired once and then the wifi stopped connecting unless I was in the same room as the router. Turns out the tech hadn't reattached the antennas. Thing is, I doubt you were in the 'guts' of your iPad so they had to have gone non-functional on their own. And beyond a normal person's ability to fix. -
Hi cannt connect to the wifi and have tried two differnet networks am i being a numpty or is the server down?
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
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- 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.

Since updating my iphone 4s to the most recent update it will no longer connect to the wifi at work, where I am not a network administrator and do not have privliges to reset passwords and turn the routers on and off. Any other suggestions for re-connecting? I have never had a problem before and can still connect to other networks i am a part of...
Try Resetting your iPad: Hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

Macbook wont connect to uverse wifi
So I have att uverse internet in my home. We have a Macbook, iPhone, iMax, and 4 pcs. All of our pcs can access the internet. However none of my apple products will connect to the uverse internet. It just stopped connected over the last couple of days.. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Welcome to Apple Support Communties.
From what you've reported, all signs point to a flaky Uverse router. (Probably a 2Wire unit?)
I recommend that you contact AT&T and tell them to replace it. Be polite, but insistent.
You're paying for their services, and when you can't access the service because of their flaky/faulty equipment, you're not getting ANY value from them.
I'm on AT&T for internet only, and when I signed up, I chose to purchase my own DSL modem & use my existing gigabit WiFi router based upon some unfavorable reports I'd seen about the reliability of equipment AT&T provided for 'free'.

New Macbook wont connect to the internet
So i bought one of those new MacBook's. Its airport detects the network im trying to connect to, and shows it has full signal strength but refuses to let me onto any websites. Its as if there is no network connection active, despite airport saying there is.
I went into the Mac Store and asked a very helpful person in a blue t-shirt there and he mentioned adding the macbooks MAC address to the MAC Filter list. - that hasnt worked
The Network im trying to connect to is a WPA Personal, set up on a windows PC
Can anyone help?!You need to access the router from you Mac and verify that the settings are correct.
Enter the IP of the router into your address bar on Safari and log into the router.
You will need to know the IP address, and the login id and password.
Then check the WiFi settings. Type of encryption, etc.
Then on the Mac in Network Preferences, be sure you have checked Configure: Using DHCP
If you are connecting to the router you should see the router IP address next to Router:
and your own IP DHCP-assigned IP next to IP Address.
You might want to first set the computer up using a wired connection to the router to eliminate any issues with the WiFi, which is a bit more complex to setup and get working properly.
You will have to learn a bit about networking in order to diagnose and fix things.
Then there is the other issue: If your router does not have the latest firmware, Leopard may not work with it until it is updated. Leopard security is much higher than in the Windows world and if the router and/or WiFi part of it is not running the most recent firmware/software, Leopard may simply not connect. Many of us here had to update our router firmware to make Leopard work properly. It's easy to do and you can find the information on your router's website. -
My apple TV has been working fine. Now it gives me error -3906 and says it cant connect to the network. it wont accept the password for my wifi. I have tried to restart and restore both the apple tv and my modem. still the same issue and same error message. any ideas?

Additional things to try.
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 is best). 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.
