  • My iphone connect to wifi, but it wont use it. How do i fix it?

    My IPhone 4 connects to wifi, but it does not use it, it refers back to 3G.

    Probably because there is no internet connection on the Wifi, because it will default to 3G if it can't get a connection.

  • IPhone connects to wifi but MacBook doesn't pick up the signal.

    iPhone connects to wifi but MacBook doesn't pick up the signal

    Okay, this morning it happened again. I unplugged my iphone, surfed some pages fine. Five minutes later I woke it up again, tried to go to the app store. Nothing.
    Tried to surf some newspaper sites. Nothing. So I used an IP address rather than the www.blablabla.com address and it works.
    Confirmed. Some sort of cirumstances let the DNS service crash. Only IP addresses work. After a reboot (that's the only chance) it works again.
    Network reset, restore iOS, all other typical help steps, never cured it.
    That's a bug.

    Kin Chi

    I get in now with the following procedures taken:
    1. Reset network as suggested in Apple app.
    2. In the wifi connection, instead click in the user name as shown in the screen, I click Others and re-type the user name as appeared before. In the security, instead of none, I click WEP. It will then prompt you to put in password. I then put in password as I know for that user name again.
    Then, it joined the wifi..
    Hope this can help someone who get this problem.

  • IPads, iPhones connect to wifi but not internet

    I recently installed Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem connected to Airport Express. Macs connect to internet but iPads, iPhones do not. Both connect to wi-fi. Suggestions?

  • One wifi spot my iPhone connects to wifi but not internet. All other devices connect to internet.

    My iPhone connects to wifi just fine. When it does it connects to the internet just fine except in one location. My house. My MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone and her iPad get on the internet there just fine. My Iphone's IP address it begins with a 10. At my house it occasionally will connect to the internet through wifi but I leave wifi off there because it is so intermitent.
    Any suggestions?
    I have not seen this problem addressed.

    Can you ping a website using either Network Utility or Terminal?

  • IPhone connects to WiFi but won't work.

    Ever since I got my iPhone 4, it connects to the WiFi but it won't do things using WiFi so I usually end up using 3G. But this only happens at my house. I works perfectly on the bus and at school. Same thing happens to my sister's iPhone 4 and recently we had guests over and I connected one of them to the WiFi and she had the same problem (iPhone 4) My dad has an iPhone 5 and I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for him. Please help. I've tried everything. Forgetting the network, resetting my phone, restoring my phone. Any suggestions please?

    Seems to be a problem with your WiFi router.
    If your iPhone can not access the internet using WiFi, due to low signal strength, low internet speed, router overload, or perhaps a wrong router setting (child safety lock, firewall?), it automatically accesses the internet using 3G.
    You just have to find the error...
    Good luck ;-)

  • My ipod says it is connected to wifi but internet wont launch

    it shows the bars that it is connected to wifi then it doesnt launch the internet or anything that uses internet is there anything wrong with my ipod like should i go to a tech speacialist to fix the hardware on my ipod or does it have to do with the router or anything like that?

    Try going to Settings>WiFi, then tap the arrow to the right of the active wifi connection. Then scroll down and tap Renew Lease. That may free up the connection.

  • Iphone connects to wifi but wont load any data

    my iphone will connect to my wifi network with a good signal but when i open safari, check weather,stocks etc. it wont load. in safari it says it cant connect to the server and in weather, stocks etc it says update failed. It just started doing this yesterday and my wifi worked before. Also my internet is working. Please help this iphone isn't even a week old!!!
    PS i can connect to other wifi networks but not mine

    wonder if you could perhaps help me also with a similar difficulty ?
    I have the itouch and I am having a Wifi issue. Is there a particular kind of combination setting that perhaps I am not doing. What I mean is when you go to wifi settings. There is DHCP , BootP and static at the top of the page. Then at the bottom, we have off, manual and auto. Also in between all that there it displays Ip address , subnet mask, router, dns, search domains and client id.
    What is a dns ? I would love to know and even better how do I get this thing to work, which did until three days ago.
    Thank you in advance

  • Iphone connect to wifi but DNS doesn't work

    I have just changed my mobile phone from Android(Nexus S) to iPhone 4S. The user experiences of iphone 4S is great as expected. But, but recently I have met the "popular" problem of iPhone 4S. This happens to my new iphone 4S frequently and some time it happens to my iPad 2 as well.
    The problem is that, sometime, even you see the iphone has been connected to the WiFi, you can't visit any website unless you type the IP address in the browser. Even you disconnect from the router and use 3G, you still have the problem. The only work around is to restart your iphone.
    First I think it is due to the DNS service down from the router. But my other devices and computer have no problem. And  I also changed the DNS server address in the iphone and the problem still exists. Even I use VPN, iphone seems not being able to parse the URL to the ip address.
    So, my conclusion is that, the DNS process of my iphone crashes. Maybe due to the compatibility of the router. But I think it is more or less the bug of the iphone.
    And also,some reports from the internet shows that some user have the problem by installing certain app from app  store. So I think maybe it is due to some APIs related with network cause the process crash. It is also may be the scenario of mine because I just started to install a lot of applications on my iphone.
    By the way, my iphone is not jail break. So I hope Apple could fix this problem officially as soon as possible. Will them?

    Okay, this morning it happened again. I unplugged my iphone, surfed some pages fine. Five minutes later I woke it up again, tried to go to the app store. Nothing.
    Tried to surf some newspaper sites. Nothing. So I used an IP address rather than the www.blablabla.com address and it works.
    Confirmed. Some sort of cirumstances let the DNS service crash. Only IP addresses work. After a reboot (that's the only chance) it works again.

  • TS1398 I cant connect to WIFI because ipad wont give me join option w the correct password

    I am setting up my new Ipad2 and when I get to the step to set up wireless, it asks for password to network.  I enter the correct password, but the "join" button is not in play... unless I enter additional characters, the join button will not operate....
    What do I do?

    Sounds like your security is not configured for that password length in bits.
    like for example
    WEP
    and
    WPA2

  • Ipod touch says its connected to wifi but wont work? Help!

    My ipod Touch 4th gen says its connected to wifi, but then wont work to any app involving wifi. We've had someone check out our Internet and our router and its fine. Every wifi needing device in the house works but not mine. Ive had my ipod for about 5 or 6 months and its never ever done this. it just stated not working yesterday. Thank you for all your help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    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.

  • Connected to wifi but can't access

    what's wrong with my iphone connected to wifi but i can't access the internet? while my friend's ipod touch and ipad1 they can access the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod and attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., router make/model, wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
    Does your iPhone connect to any WiFi network?
