Selected Wi-Fi Network will not connect

I have selected a Wi-Fi network in my home, entered the password and it shows as selected; but it will not connect. Help

One frequent suggestion is to check that your router has the latest firmware. Another is to test your wifi at a public wifi location like a coffee shop and such. If it works there, then you'll know it's your router. And no, just because your router works with other computers doesn't mean it will work with the iPad.

Mountain Lion Network will not connect

Mountain Lion Network will not connect to adobe.com on my WiFi network.
While my iPad and iPhone will connect using my WiFi network.
I have tried to connect using 8 different browsers that I have and get the same results.

My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

Guest network will not connect to Internet

My Airport Extreme guest network is not connected to the Internet. The main network is fine. And all of it worked yesterday and before.

If everything was working before, there may have been an interuption of service on the network, so devices may be out of sequence.
Suggest that you power cycle the entire network as follows:
Power everyhing down....all devices...order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme and let it run a minute
Start other devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

My guest network will not connect. Where do I look at the set up?

I use comcast as my ISP and use their Arris router (modem??) to connect. I have an airport extreme for my wireless network for printing, ipad, etc.
I set up a main network and also a guest network so that I wasn't giving everyone my main network password. It has worked fine until I updated to 10.8.5
Now, whatever device I use, iphone, ipad, iMac, to try and connect to the internet, and choose my guest network, which I can see in the list of networks to choose from, along with my main network, the indicator on the device just spins, but it never connects to the network.
I looked in airport utility and see the internet with a green ligh and the AE with a green light. Where do I see my networks, and how they are set up, in order to figure out what has gone wrong?
Thank you for your help.

Hi sundancepass!
I have a couple of articles for you here that may help resolve this issue. First, a link to the new user's guide to the iPod shuffle! While this is a guide for the second generation iPod shuffle, not much has changed, so it will still be mostly relevant:

There may be a very small issue keeping your iPod from showing up in iTunes. This is an often overlooked mistake, and there is an article about this issue right here:

HT3477 Time capsule guest network will not connect to internet

Wireless network will not connect after Security update 2006 06

Downloaded recent security update. Ran Disc Utility before and after. Unable to connect to my wireless network (Netgear ) which always works without a problem. After trying to connect using Internet Connection Utility I tried Key Chain First Aid and also reset the key chain. No help. Finally trashed the update packages and had to log off before it connected. Any one run into this problem and a fix? Thanks.

I had the same thing happen to me! Except with a different security update..? No fixes? what's going on? How do I "trash" the update packages?

Nano 6g runs very slow, will not connect

First the symptoms - Nano goes through a battery charge - Runs Slow as far as screen changes and selections.
Now it will not connect to my Windows 7 PC. I get a sound like it connects, but don't see it in Explorer or in iTunes. The nano says "Connected - Eject befor disconnecting". Again, I can't get anything on the PC to show it and when I unplug it the screen continues to say "Connected".
I have reset it several times and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and worked through the support suggestions. Nearest Apple Store is 2 hours drive.
I don't want to purchase $39.00 worth of support for a $129 product that has been fickle since day one.
Any ideas?

Connect it to your computer with iTunes open. Press down and hold the volume up, volume down and sleep/wake buttons until iTunes gives you a dialog about recovering the Nano. When that dialog comes up, release the buttons immediately. Then follow the directions.

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.

Macbook will not connect to printer via the network

I have my G5 computer connected to my home network airport extreme with an ethernet cable. I have a new Canon MX 860 (which will work over a network) which is also connected to the airport extreme with an ethernet cable (wired lan connection). The G5 and the Canon work well together; printing and scanning etc.
I have a Macbook that will not connect to the Canon via the network. I have checked and rechecked the setup and am stumped. I get various failure notices:
"The "Canon..." printer could not be found in your list of printers" (altho it is listed)
"Unable to get printer status (forbidden)"
"Status: In use, Default" (altho the printer is ready and not in use)
"Operation could not be completed -client-error-not-possible"
Both computers are setup for printer sharing and the printer list allows the Canon to be shared.
The network works well supporting Macbook and several Tivos.
Any help on what I should try next?
Thanks for any suggestions
John

Hello John,
For starters, you don't need printer sharing enabled. Since the MX860 is connected to the extreme via Ethernet, then the MacBook should be able to connect directly to the MX860 via wireless or wired.
For either type of connection, you need to add the printer via More Printers > Canon IJ Network. You should not connect via the Default browser view, as this will only show the shared printer via the G5 (which you should disable). In fact, based on the errors you are getting, it does sound like you have added the printer by selecting the shared offering.
So I would delete the current printer queue and add again, using the More Printers > Canon IJ Network menu. This window should show the MX860 with its MAC address in brackets. When you select it and press Add, the printer will be created with a name something like 'Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)'.
If the printing still fails with the printed added as above, then please reply.

Outlook 2013 will not connect to specific networks outside the office

Outlook 2013. I can connect to any Wi-Fi network I have attempted...but Outlook 2013 will not connect to my home network. I have tried clearing the dns cache as well as re-creating the account. Outlook works fine at the office, fine at
hotels, fine at restaurants, but won't connect at my house using either a wired or Wi-Fi connection.
Any suggestions?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to connect the Outlook 2013 from outside the office, please follow these steps: -
This is usually the result of authentication issues. In order to prevent strangers from using their
SMTP server to send spam, many ISPs require users to authenticate when they try to send email while accessing the server from outside the network. In many cases, users will also need to use a different
port number and may need to use SSL.
To check or change the outgoing server authentication, you need to open the
Account setting dialog. In Outlook 2013, this is on the
File tab.
Click on the email account, then click the
More Settings dialog and select the Outgoing server tab to check the authentication settings.
Enable
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select
Use the same settings as my incoming mail server. These settings will often work both at home and when travelling.
You will also want to check the port and
SSL settings on the Advanced tab. Commonly used port number are
587, 465, and 1025 but if these don’t work, you will need to check your mail providers support pages for the correct port number. You may also need to select
SSL or Auto for encrypted connections, again, this information should be on your mail providers support website.
Note: - Once you make these changes, you should be able to send email from home.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

IPhone WiFi will not connect to home network.

iPhone will not connect to home network. WiFi is on and correct password is entered. iPhone error msg says incorrect password. Reloaded network software and did not activate password but iPhone still shows network as locked.

Some people who experience issues connecting to or even seeing there Wireless network should follow these steps.
These steps are just a guideline and its not 100% that it will fix your issue.
Mainly, if the issue persists, its possible there is an issue with your iOS settings or a hardware failure within your iPhone or iPad, specifically the Wifi adapter.
You would want to follow these articles to do a reset & restore prior to saying it is a hardware issue.

You will need to access your Admin control panel for your router.
If you have an Airport Extreme BaseStation, you just need to open the Airport Admin Utility found in Applications > Utilities Folder.
Enter your credentials and you will have access to the settings from there.
For a PC: Do NOT use the CD that came with your router. That is used for people who do not know how to setup a router properly and these settings will not be available for you in most cases.
If you are using anything other than an Airport BaseStation:
Open a web browser:
In the address bar, type:
192.168.1.1 (Mainly used for Asus, Linksys, etc) or 192.168.0.1 (D-link,Belkin)
How to figure out what the IP address is to type in?
Windows:
Hold down the windows key, then press R. This brings up the run box. In that box type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press enter. In the black box that pops up, type "ipconfig" (without quotes) then hit enter. Your default gateway is the IP address for your router. It will start with 192.168.....
Take that number and put it into the address bar in your browser and hit enter. It will then ask you for a user name and password. For linksys, it's admin for both. If you have another brand, just google "default password for ******" replacing the asterisks with the brand name of the router. Once you have entered the correct user name and password, you're there.
Mac:
1.From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
2.In System Preferences, from the View menu, select Network.
3.Select the appropriate port. For example, choose Ethernet for broadbandconnections, AirPort for wireless, or Internal Modem for dial-up.
4.Click Advanced... , and in the sheet that opens, click the TCP/IP tab.
The number next to "Router:" is your default gateway.
Once you get into your admin panel do these setting changes.
1.On the router change the channel for the 2.4mhz band to channel 1, 6, or 11 (recommended), rather than auto.
2.Also set that channel width to 20hz only, rather than 20hz or 40hz (Auto)
3.Make sure Security is set to WPA/WPA2-Personal. Anything else will cause issues. (of course, make sure you know your password for security)
4.Make sure to Apply/Save these settings. Sometimes the wireless connectivity will go out during this change and will come back on within 15-30 seconds.
5.On the iPhone/iPad go to Settings > Wi fi > click the blue arrow beside the network > Select Forget network
6.Go to Settings > general > reset > reset network settings
7.Power the phone off and on. Connect again

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
