Re: "Internet TV over Home WiFi Lan to Old Television" (answer to 02-24-11 question)
This is a delayed response to a user named Airflow, who posted a question on 02-24-2011. The original thread was locked.
I was looking for that same concept myself with a late 90's analog TV. But the replies to his post were along the lines of "your TV is too old and the picture quality is lacking" - vs. a direct answer to his question of "can it be done?" The idea that one must always have the latest stuff became the focus.
I'd like to point out that an old TiVo Series 2 DVR with a wi-fi USB adapter will stream standard-definition signals to old analog TVs with just a coax connection. The selection is limited and you have to pay for some of it (Amazon, etc.)
I was looking for that same functionality without buying a new TV (for a garage setup). So, it can be done to some extent but of course it's not ideal.
P.S. Not sure why my post was formatted in a narrow column - I just typed in it normally.

IPhone can't connect to internet on my home WiFi, works everywhere else
For a while I would get the "unable to join network" error, but renewing the lease or resetting the router would usually fix it. Now I can sign onto the WiFi, but I get page load errors and timing out on everything until I turn WiFi off on the phone. I have tried resetting network settings, manually inputing my phones Mac address into the router, changing the security mode on the router, resetting the WiFi settings on the router, still, no internet for iPhone.
Other Android phones, an iPad, Apple TV, Laptops and Desktops have all been able to access the internet through WiFi as well. My iPhone has no trouble using the internet on other WiFi networks. Have I somehow black listed myself in my router settings? Or have I somehow blocked the internet in the phone settings for just this network?I looked into that and couldnt' figure out how. I've just now completely disabled "managed devices" and "managed services" under parental controls and that seems to have made it work. My room mate was having trouble with his laptop as well. I'm the only person who ever logged into the router's admin panel and I never added any devices to any parental control that I know of. I just looked at the log and noticed it had some blocked packets, the IP matched the one assigned to my phone, so somehow I got parental blocked :-/

E61 Problem connection to Home wifi LAN
My E61 worked fine until I changed my router to a Netgear DG834GT. It uses 802-11 b & g. and I have the latest firmware on the phone. The router has built in wifi which works well on my laptop, it connects to the access point without any problems at all.
I am not unable to connect with my phone. I can 'see' the WLAN SSID in Available Networks - it's set to Infrastructure. I has a WEP key set.
When I try to connect using that access point e.g. to update 'WorldMate Weather' I getthe error message "Connection error - check settings"
If I try to collect my emails or surf the 'Net I get: "WLAN - Unable to connect. WLAN network not found!"
Any help would be appreciated.Hi,
you could test the following if it helps:
1) disable power save feature from the phone
2) set access point to open authentication and no encryption
3) scan for WLAN networks and start web browsing using the found access point
Any difference? Don't forget to restore the security settings afterwards.

In the last 2 days my Ipad does not want to connect to the internet via my home wifi's i have not done anything different so cany understand why this is happeniong. it just wont connect. Its a good job i have my 3g connection otherwise it would be worthless. i have tried resetting my wifi connections on my pad and unplugging the modem and resetting that. nothing is working. i have read several forums about this and seems to be an issue with a lot of ipads, i have read what you can do, however i dont think i should have to reset this, reset that, change this and change that when clearly its an apple issue.
can someone provide me with any simple way of fixing this issue. or can apple spend a little bit of their millions of dollars of profit to fix this little proble.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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Why can't I see my home WiFi network?
I have had my iPod touch for almost two years and have had no trouble with it - until today. I am presently not connected to the internet through my home WiFi network and can't find my network in Settings/Wi-Fi. I can see other secure (and non-secure) networks, but not mine. I am presently sitting right beside my AirPort Extreme and am connected to it with my laptop. So the Wi-Fi station is working. My iPod has the same settings it has always had (Wi-Fi is on and Ask to Join Networks is off). How can it see other networks by not my own?
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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Is it this problem?

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

After I took my iPhone to the Apple store for a completely different problem, which they fixed, my wifi will no longer recognise my home wifi like it used to.
Hey TSWinchester,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I'm glad to hear my colleagues at the Apple Store were able to resolve your original issue. Let's see if we can figure out what is going on with your iPhone connecting to Wi-Fi.
Is your Wi-Fi network appearing in the "Choose a Network" section under Settings > Wi-Fi? If not, please see the following article for troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also, you may need to confirm that your Wi-Fi network is not configured to be hidden. For more information on password-protected networks, and hidden networks, see this article:

If I am using my iPhone whist not connected to my home wifi, will it cost me to connect to the internet?
That depends on the Cellular Plan / package you have for the phone. Some Plans include a certain ammount of data transfer in the cost of the phone package. If you have one of those then you have the specified ammount of data transfer to use the internet. If you go over you get charged extra.
If your plan is a Phone only plan with no Data package, then yes Internet will cost extra to whatever you already pay for the phone service.
Your best bet is to talk to your cellular carrier to make sure what type of Cellular package you have. -
i have an ipod touch and i have gone into my settings and connected to my home wifi. but the little bars that are supposed to come up in the top left hand corner do not appear and i cannot connect to the internet. is it my ipod? or should i look at my home wifi?
One way to isolate the problem would be to try your iPod on some other networks (Starbucks, Borders, Library, Apple store, etc.) If it does not work in those places you likely have a problem with your iPod otherwise it's likely a problem with your network.
Please provide some details on your router make/model, security type being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), any MAC address filtering configured and whether you are using static IPs or DHCP. -
Wifi Internet Sharing over wifi!
Hi every body.
i want to share my network connection (i use wifi) on wifi!
in windows you can use "virtual network router" and you can share you network (even you use to a proxy) and this software create a wifi hotspot and other clinets cant connet to that and use your wifi connection.
in mac, in Sharing, you can share your internet connection on other ports! if use wifi you can share your intenet on Ethernet or... but not WiFi!
my question is how to create an hotspot and share my internet over a wifi when i use wifi to connect to intenet too!
Thanks!It doesn't work like that and can't be used like that. You need a stand alone WiFi signal extender box.
Also I have never seen any Windows PC able to do that unless it has 2 WiFi cards in it. One WiFi card to receive the signal from the main router, communicate with the main router, and the other to broadcast that connection out to other WiFi devices. -
Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.
Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router. -
Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?
You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. JenYou can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !! -
My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?
