Tablet will not connect to router it is saying authentication problem

Tablets saying authentication problem after password is put in,and i dissconected my phone now that wont connect

Hi whittydaz,
Thanks for posting onto the Forum,
It's not good to see that you are having trouble connecting to the Sky Router with your wireless devices. Can you please tell me if you are able to connect to a device wired at all? What lights are appearing on your Sky router at the moment?
Have you reset your Sky Router by pressing and holding the button on the back of the router for longer than 30 seconds?
Please let me know the answer to these questions and hopefully we can get to the bottom of this
Cheers,

hmm, well I would say that raises the possibility of an issue with your ipad, and lessens one with your router.

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

I have an ipad 2 the itunes program worked fine at first but now it will not connect to the store. it says 'secure link to itune store failed' i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. what do i do

i have an ipad 2 the itunes program worked fine at first but now it will not connect to the store. it says 'secure link to itune store failed' i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. what do i do?

Doublechecking before proceeding. Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

HP Officejet 8500A Plus will not connect to router.

A couple month ago I had this printer up and running on my network fine. I use a Cradlepoint MBR1200B router with a Verizon wireless aircard. We took the printer out of the office while we were remodeling, we went to go back and hook it up after the remodel was complete. Now it will not connect back to our router. It's weird the printer will connect fine to my other verizon hotspot, but not the cradlepoint router with usb modem. We have an Officejet 6500 upstairs that is connected to the cradlepoint and is working great.
I have tried what seems like everything from resetting the network setttings on the printer to default and tweaking the security on the cradlepoint from WPA2 to WPA/WPA2. Still nothing.
Also when I choose to print a test report after getting the error on the printer it prints out a sheet that says.
"More that one access poiint/wireless rougter has been foun that mathes your wireless network name (SSID). IF this is not inteded, your HP printer may connect to the wrong wireless network. If you cahne your network name you will need to configure the SSID on all wireless devices to match you new newwork SSID."
The only wireless network we have in the house is the cradlepoint router???? We have the hotspot too, but that is not even turned on. Even so the SSID's for them are not even remoteley similar.

Hello Fost325,
Take a look at this document, which provides wireless and network troubleshooting scenario's. Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Ipad will not connect netgear router, even with encryption disabled

Evening everyone, I own a first generation iPad which I got at the beginning of this year, and up until 2 days ago, everything was working fine.
I have Netgear router issued by Sky which I have owned for a few years and I have owned an iPhone 3GS and I am now onto my iPhone 4, along with 2nd generation apple TV alongside my iPad.
On tuesday, my iPad stopped connecting to the internet over wifi. I have entered the password for the network, I have restored my iPad, and I have also disabled the encryption and still it will not connect.
Now last night, I manually entered details under the Static section near DHCP and suddenly it worked. I have also been to visit the Apple store at the Trafford Centre this evening and simply got told it must be something to do with my router. yet I am at a loss as to why my iPhone 4 works with no problems, as Steve Jobs says, "it just works" yet my iPad doesnt.
Can anyone help me on this one????

Thank you very much, I have now reset the router after logging in and seeing all my other devices working fine. Everything is now working, just totally surprises me that my iPhone, laptop, my mums laptop, my apple tv box would all still connect and work no problem at all.
Can anyone answer as to why this sort of things happen with routers????? My line of thinking would be that if one product can't connect, then surely the others wouldn't be able to either???. I may be totally way off beam, but this is an area where I have little knowledge.

Re 1000 will not connect to router

Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but just wanted to put it out here.
When I try linking my re1000 to my router (linksys wrt54gs running dd-wrt v.24) using "wpa2 personal" security mode, it will not connect. The status screen on the re 1000 shows it being "down."
I've found I can get it to connect to my ssid and have internet access by changing my security mode to wpa though. It would be nice to be able to use the more secure wpa2 considering it will be used in a professional environment.

Is there a reason why you're using dd-wrt firmware? If using the official firmware for the router suits your needs, try loading that to see if it works.

TS1398 Despite trying the recommended options listed above, my Ipad will not connect to our home Wi-Fi. The problem has only started happening this morning. The ipad recognises the wi-fi network but will not connect.

Despite trying the recommended trouble shooting options, my I pad will not connect to our home Wi-Fi network. The problem only started occurring this morning, and although it will recognise the Wi-Fi network, it will not connect.
Any other options I can try????

Try rebooting the router. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost.

New iphone 4s will not connect to home wifi. Says password is incorrect, but it is not.

Please help new iphone 4s from verizon will not connect to my home wifi. I was able to connect to my sister's home wifi without any issues tonight, but now at my home and says password is incorrect. The password is correct. I have an ipod touch gen 2 that connects with no problems.

make sure your home wireless network is not "hidden." Settings -> Wi-Fi -> select your home network, it it's hidden, select "other" and manually type in the network name, password, and select security type.

My cloud will not connect to Router

I just purchased the 4tb My Cloud and cannot connect it via my Pace 1568nv router. There is no link lights on the My Cloud, i have tried multiple Cat cables. The same cables work when i connect the same wires directly to my PC.  For some reason my router will not recognize the My Cloud.  Any suggestions?

@ aerobatix31   asked "What exactly was your resolution with your Pace? You were able to keep DHCP settings as defaulted in the router and MC? "
  I inadvertently mislead you to the assumption that I had the same router as you, my apologies. I have an Actiontec router used in Verizon FiOS for my home. I did keep the DHCP settings. If this is an ATT router they might have hidden many functions as did Verizon on my router. I actually decided prior to installing WD MC to purchase a 10/100/1000 switch to hard wire my computers directly rather than messing with Verizon and their heavy handed policies. Did you attempt to connect your computer to the port on the router that MC wouldn't work on? You may simply have a bad port on the router.

HP Officejet once was set up wireless, and worked, after one month, it will not connect to router?

I have been working with this new HP all in one wireless printer, and was working great, then one day out of the blue it stopped. I can't print out a thing, and when checking on why it stopped, it first printed out that it was not connected to the radio connection, which I thought was Bogus, then after working on it a little more, I went to the wps on the router and held down the WPS, as was requested for 3 seconds, but when I returned to the printer, it all looked as though it was downloading until it got down to 7 seconds, then it stopped and refuses to connect to the router. Does Anyone have any Ideas on how to fix this issue or, tell me what I maybe doing wrong???? This is Now driving me insane. I am connected to an HP Computor, it appears that the router maybe the problem, so I need HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Please, thank's to anyone who can suggest the right fix for this printer.

Hello thesuperdude,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I gather that you have run into several issues with your Officejet printer since you received an error about the radio connection.
To better understand the issue, please provide some further information:
What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have? Guide to finding your product number
How is the printer connected now (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
Are you getting any error messages? If yes, what is the error message and where are they being displayed?
Is the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet?
What operating system are you using on your computer (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
Have you installed the full feature software and driver onto your computer?
Thank you.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

IPhone 4G will not connect to router when SSID is not broadcasting

I was able to setup my WiFi connection for the iPhone using WPA2 Security and MAC address filtering. But when I disable SSID Broadcasting on my router, the iPhone does not see the network. If I broadcast the SSID on the router then the iPhone will connect automatically.
I have an iPad that automatically connects to the network when the SSID is not being broadcasted on the router. Why can't the iPhone connect to a saved network that is not being broadcasted? Every other device including the iPad can connect to the router when the SSID Broadcast is disabled.

Oridnarily, any equipment should not see the network when SSID disabled, since the router is not broadcasting its SSID. So you have you to connect to it manually if and only if you know the SSID (part of little added security) and the password.
However, when you connect that SSID becomes visible (if someone is sniffing) since the client (your phone) has broadcasted the SSID. Only a dedicated network sniffer can see the network without SSID (it will look like NULL string) but obviosuly cannot connect without SSID and password.
I have similar setup with LINKSYS WRT160N and there is no need to reboot the router. I noticed that when the Iphone goes to sleep it forgets the network and I have to enter everything all over again. However, this is not the case on my other WM phone. My Nintendo WII will remember it as long as it is not switched off, then I will have to enter the credentials all over again.
The fact that it connected with previous router, suggest to me that the router was still broadcasting where it should not. Thats is the whole idea of disbaling SSID, not to let other others see your network (except sniffers). If they do, it will be with no name.
