TS1398 Only want to connect to my home router

I have no problem connecting to my home wifi but it cuts out and picks up another close wifi in the area. Is there a way to lock on to only pick up my home wifi?

I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both. Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

Why is my ipad mini disconnecting my netbooks wifi connection to my home router?

almost every time that I connect my Ipad mini to the charger, my netbook connection drops out and I have to go to my ipad mini and browse something like facebook before the netbook will work again. (Netbook is an Asus Aspire One with XP)
So I have an aspire one netbook, a home wireless router (which supports our households 3 laptops, 2 ipad mini's, an iphone, samsung, and nokia, plus occasionally the playstation.)
Everything is fine, all the connections work ok usually. But whenever I connect my ipad to the charger, instantly the netbook drops out and no longer can connect to the wifi network - until I browse facebook on the ipad mini on the charger, then the netbook can connect to the internet again.
It's the most bizarre thing.
I haven't done anything particular to setup anything on my ipad - just the usual apps and games. My netbook works fine if the ipad is turned off etc, but as soon as I connect it to the charger and it turns on bam out goes my netbook connection. Doesn't happen with my wifes Ipad mini when she charges it, or with any of the other devices as far as I can tell. It also happens if my netbook is on and working and the ipad is on and working, both connected to the internet fine, I connect to top up the charge on the ipad, and then when the ipad goes to sleep the netbook instantly stops working and I have to go wake it up and connect to facebook and then I can carry on working on the netbook until it goes to sleep again. The netbook definitely reports a connection to my home router and my ipad doesn't have any "be a wireless server" capabilities on it. Must be some sort of interference but I don't know what to do about it.
Happens a lot. Hasn't changed since upgrading the OS on the ipad to 7, still happens. Been happening for months now.

update - it seems to happen when the ipad goes to sleep - so I connect the ipad to the charger and I can still browse the internet on the netbook (asus aspire one), but as soon as the ipad decides that nothing's happened for a while and goes to sleep, it takes out the Wifi connection at that instant - and the netbook no longer can see the internet, and I have to go and wake up the ipad and open facebook to get internet back.
What can I try?

My ipad does not want to connect to my home wifi's, worthless. why has this just happened. is apple aware?

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.

Airport Express switch to N-Only , Unable to Connect or Even detect router.

Hi, I have a macbook pro from early feb 2008 with the penryn processor in it and an airport express wireless N. When i have the airport express in 802.11n (b/g compatible) i'm able to connect and see the router wirelessly, but when i do N only (2.4 or 5 ghz), i can't connect nor detect the router. It basically just "disappears" and i have to manually reset the router by pressing the small button, setting it back to 802.11n (b/g compatible). Now i'm pretty sure i have wireless N enabled on my macbook pro, because under network utilities i see a/b/g/n as the transmission modes available.
Anyone else have this problem or have any idea on how to solve it?

I'm assuming that you have the Time Capsule and each AirPort Express device setup correctly, but just in case can you check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
First check the Time Capsule
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Create a wireless network"
There must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes
On each AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as you Time Capsule network
Check mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your Time Capsule
Wireless Password = Exact same password as your Time Capsule
Update to save any changes
If your settings look like the examples above, and you know that interference is not preventing a connection, then I'm out of ideas.

My ipod touch 4th gen can only detect and connect to my home wifi. how can i fix this so i can use other wifi connections?

i have tried restoring settings etc.

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.

TS1398 I am begun to experience problems with my wi-fi connection on my home router. All other devices in the house work fine - but my iPhone 3GS seems to connect to the route OK, then loses the connection, I have tried re-boot/network settings etc - no

As per my headline comment, the wi-fi connection (which before IO6) worked fine now problematic, and iPhone in serious danger of flying out of the window..is there an option to get previous IOS back on the phone? I have tried the various "solutions" indicated in the chat forum but nothing helps..any ideas before I lose what little hair I have left?

If, as you suggest, you have iOS 6.0.2 installed in your 3GS, you shouldn't have. That OS is only for the iPhone 5 and Mini iPad.
Try rebooting the router. Any other devices working happily on it are irrelevent.

TS1398 I have followed this advice and still unable to get my iphone to connect to my home router. This happens way too frequently and very frustrated

I am very frustrated to come home and find my phone not connecting to the router. This is happening frequently and not sure how to correct it.
Help anyone!

When you say it happens frequently I assume that you can connect but the xconnection drops often

School ipad doesn't want to connect to my home network?

My school ipad since i got it i've been trying to connect it to my home network, and it doesn't work. And my friends come over and they bring their school ipads and their internet works perfect!

Have you tried troubleshooting steps on this article?
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368

I have had an old computer that broke down, and I have a new one that I want to connect to Firefox Home on my iPod, yet using the same account. I have logged out of Firefox Home on my iPod, and I would like to log in again.

I would just like to be able to log in to both devices using the account, but I cant add a device on my iPod because I have logged out.

First go to your iTunes menu, STORE, login with your AppleID (if you have not done so), then Authorise your computer under the same STORE menu
Now , go to iTunes store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the top right window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free.

1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
*Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.

If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner.

Time caspule only works when connected through my dLink router first

I have a dlink router that was always my network router in my home. I hooked up a time capusle from the lan output of the dlink into the internet input port on the time capsule and it works fine. The time capsule and dlink are both wifi hostpots. When I connect my time capsule from my modem direct without the dlink the LED will not turn green. WHy is this and how do I remedy this.
Thanks
Colin

The easiest way is to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
Make sure it is connected to the modem first. Remember to power down the modem before changing its connections.
To "hard reset" the TC: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
This will not affect your backups. You might need to re-select the TC's backup disk in Time Machine's Preferences, but your existing backups will not be lost.
