Trying to connect my new tablet

Just received my new tablet and trying to connect to the wifi via my BT hub3 alongside. Been through the settings process and chosen my hub 3 on the listing. Each time it tries to connect it keeps coming up with "Authentication problem" and will not connect. Just say's Saved, Secured with WPA/WPA2. Have i missed something like entering my my Hub3 wireless key or PIN but i do not know how to get back to the screen in which to enter such information.
As you will have guessed I am new to this tablet lark.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Solved!

See this guide for seting up tablets on the homehub.

You should also turn off "smart set up" on the homehub as this can cause problems.

Hi I am trying to connect a new mac to an existing time capsule but Airport Utility is just not picking it up. What am I missing?

I have tried to connect the new mac to an existing time capsule both directly through ethernet and through wifi. Both times I get Internet connection OK but Airport Utility is stuck searching for the base station. I have two existing macs which are connected fine and have both been backing up quite happily. The first two macs are the same user (me) and the new one is for a different user in the house. All the macs are running Mavericks.
I have tried rebooting the time capsule and the new mac - didn't help.
Any information as to what I can try would be most welcome.
Many thanks

Hi All
I have solved my problem! It was the old chestnut the firewall issue. We have McAfee firewalls on our machines and the wifi network was set up as a public rather than a home network. I changed it to Home or Work and het presto the time capsule appeared. I didn't have this problem with the other machines at all.
I hope this helps someone!!

I'm trying to connect my new 4s phone to my pc for the first time and I don't know why the pc does not see it. What do I do?

More details about the PC, please:
What operating system is it running?
What version of that operating system?
When were patches and updates last applied to that operating system?
What kind of PC is it (i.e. Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc.)?
How long have you had the PC?
Have you tried another USB port on the PC?

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

I am trying to connect my new ipad to my BT Home Hub but keep getting a message saying that I am unable to join the Home Hub network. Any advice?

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 droping 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

Trying to connect to new network

How can I set it up so that a general user can connect to a new network?

Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working. I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

I am trying to connect my new ipay to my wireless network and I do not know the password, how can I connect?

I have a new IPAD and trying to hook up to my wireless network. I do not know a password, how can I procees with the set up?

you need to find out what your wifi password is....Search your router online.
I know netgears are usually routerlogin.net (popup ADMIN- pass: password)
Others have a different login.
You can always try typing in your routers IP address into a browser search field(ie. 192.169.1.1)
Some routers come with a setup CD.
Another route with some is reseting the router to factory default(no password). This will allow anyone to access it thats nearby, so Id recommend this ONLY for initial connection, then reconfiguring it. Hold the reset button in for 30 seconds.

Trying to connect a new G5 to a bluetooth network

I'm trying to help a friend connect his brand new G5 desktop to a bluetooth network. He's been given a username and a long combination of numbers and letters that look a bit like MAC address or IPv6 address. He has a PC laptop which has been connected to the network so I have the IPv4 address for the router, but I have no experience setting up wireless networks, so have little idea where he needs to enter the information he's been given in the network prefs?
Is it in the bluetooth pan pane or just the bluetooth pane? Any help much appreciated

A Bluetooth network? Are you sure?
Bluetooth isn't really designed for networking, due to its low speed and short range. Bluetooth is generally used for transferring small amounts of data between a computer and a mobile device, or for wireless speakers, headsets etc.
Do you perhaps mean a wi-fi wireless network, connecting via a wireless router (802.11b/g/n)?
If so, instructions for doing that are here:

HT204291 I am trying to connect my new Apple TV to a wifi connection at a hospital. This apple tv connects at home but is unable to at hospital bc of a web page authentication agreement page. All of my iOS devices are connected.

I cannot connect my apple tv to the wifi bc of the web page authentication. When signing my other iOS devices on the network an immediate web page pops up with a user agreement to check and agree. How can I do this with the new apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately that isn't possible with the Apple TV, the Apple TV does not have a web browser.
