I have a good wi fi connection on my ipad but cannot connect to the network
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)

Just bought MacBook Pro, cannot connect to the Internet at home. I have wifi at home and my iPad and cell phone can connect to the wifi
*** When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.
If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information. -
I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?
Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner. -
I have two iPads and one is connected to the internet but my other iPad was connected then was not and since then I have not been able to add my internet back onto my iPad it only says cannot connect to the server any help would be great thanks
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured. -
I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone
Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly
Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

The computer sees the airport signal but cannot connect to the internet
I have a imac g5 connected wirelessly to my base station & an airport express. The mac part connects to the internet using the network without any problem. My problem is that the pc portion (using Windows XP) of my imac will not connect to the internet using the wireless network. It shows a strong signal but no connectivity. One of the comments that comes up is that the network didn't assign a network address to the computer (I assume the PC portion). Any thoughts how I can get my computer to connect to the wireless network from the PC portion of my mac.
many thanks.Make sure your Firewall settings are correct. I'm going to share some of my settings in the PC area (please bear in mind that these IP addresses could differ from system to system)
My Windows Firewall is DISABLED. You could do the same temporary and see if it works. I use Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. Make sure in my Control Panel ==> Network connection status, your device shows Airport Express wireless device or router.
Depending in your Internet service provider and geographical zone the IP address could be different.
Example:
Zone Alarm Windows settings:
TRUSTED ZONES ==> Loopback Adapter 127.0.0.0.1
PC IP address 192.169.1.3 (example)
Gateway 192.169.1.254
DHCP Server 10.0.1.1
DNS 10.0.0.1
IN AIPORT EXTREME SETTINGS ( Make sure you are in your Imac side or Mac Os)
Id 192.169.1.5
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.169.1.254
Connection Automatic
Ethernet ==> Automatically (through Airport Utility) -
Airport extreme suddenly stopped "accepting" password. The signal appears strong -- just will not accept a log on. No changes have been made. It is not the modem. Have replaced the airport with my old linksys and wifi works fine. Is there a way to "reset" it and start over. We've unplugged it (airport) for 30 minutes and still the same result.
To do a factory reset, unplug the Extreme and push in the small round reset button on the back with a straightened paper clip or point of a pen and hold it in while plugging it back in - when the light starts to blink fast, release the button - then wait for the light to blink slowly - this indicates that the factory reset has completed - you can now re-configure the Extreme from scratch.

Totally new and inexperienced to i-pads but have bought one as I need to travel but keep in touch with various things. Have put sim card in and it's asking me to activate i-Pad and offering networks or use mobile connection. As it's a cellular i-Pad I've tried mobile connection but nothing happens, what am I doing wrong ? There are no instructions in box to help.
If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

My ipod touch will recognize my home wireless network but when I try to select it the wheel just keeps spinning. It looks as though I have a good signal but my router is an older apple extreme. I've updated to the lasted firmware but it's still not working. I have two older imacs and a wii that connect to the router. Any thoughts? Thanks
