Unable to connect more than one device

Hi.
We have copper Broadband with a fairly decent speed (13MB) and a HH3.
I run a desktop PC for general internet access but my wife uses an iPad and is always downloading films, music etc. We also have a BT Vision box which is connected via Ethernet direct to the HH3 (there are no issues at all with the Vision).
The hub is located centrally within very close range of the devices with no major structures blocking the path, indeed wireless strength is excellent.
For a long time now it has been the case that with one of us on, the other cannot use their device as the connection is either too slow or it actually knocks the other off-line. I used to run an Ethernet connection for my PC (my wife is wireless) but having read that the HH3 does not like mixed connections I bought a wireless dongle which initially seemed to help but now we are back to where we started.
Re-starting the hub sometimes seems to help but not always and might just be a coincidence.
Obviously it is very inconveniant being able to only use one device at a time.
Does this sound like a hub issue?

It could be a faulty hub because the HH3 should be able to handle multiple connections of both wireless and Ethernet without problem.
The first thing do do is try a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds which can often sort out configuration problems.

Can't connect more than one device.

I just bought an Airport Express 2 gen from a friend and I have two issues: I tried to reset it to factory settings and could not do it. Tried holding the reset button for 10 secs, unplugging and plugging back in while holding the reset button, holding the button for a longer time and nothing worked. I had no choice but to create another network. Once created, I can't connect more than one device. If I have my MacAir hooked up the network and I try to get my Ipad in, the minute I type the network pass in my Ipad, a screen pops up where I have to log in with my internet provider account. When I do that, it will connect, but my MacAir will disconnect automatically.
Appreciate any help!

Things are a bit different with the 2nd Gen AirPort Express and other newer AirPorts.
A Factory Default Reset is now the same as what was previously known as a "Hard Reset".
Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few minutes.
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the Express is operating correctly, it will be back to factory default settings at this time.
If you try the reset a few times and the Express will not return to default settings, the Express is defective.

Why won't my Time Capsule allow me to connect more than one device to the network at a time?

Ok here is the shortest story I can come up with...
Several months ago lightening struck my house and ruined the power cord for my old AIR PORT EXTREME....after replacing the power cable my wireless network began to prohibit more than one device at a time to connect to the wireless network.
I replaced that network with a new TIME CAPSULE and it is doing the same thing. I took my old AirPort Extreme to my work and it works like a charm. My ISP says it is an Apple problem but I have had the same settings both at home and at work. Work is great, multiple devices connect but home is one at a time and in order to connect ANOTHER device I have to power down one, and reboot the router and fire up the device I wish to connect.
Any suggestions?

I am running off a Fiber line....the unit that is a battery back up and appears to be a modem as well is called CyberPower CS24U12V-NA3
Techincally, there is no "router" in my house, there is a LOCKED control box outside, a battery back up module in the garage that shows battery life and connection, then a cat5 outlet in my laundry room..All of which was installed by my ISP.
I am using a 2TB Time Capsule running DHCP in Bridge Mode. I can't find the software version but updated it while installing it within the last two months.
Under Network Tab
Enable NAT Port mapping is checked
Under the Wireless Tab
we have a 5ghz Network
Radio mode is set to: 802.11a/n-802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
2.4 GHz is Auto
5 Ghz is Auto
I hope this helps....

Can Not Connect More Than One Device

Does anyone else have the issue of not being able to connect more than 1 device to your wireless network without it timing out and resetting the router? I pay extra to have what they say is the fastest internet but it never works. If Apple TV is streaming Netflix my iPad, my laptop and my desktop all have to be off and not connected to the WiFi or the router resets itself. My speed test actually timed out because it was taking so long both times I tried it, a month apart. I had the same issues before switching to X1 and getting my new WiFi modem. If I call I just get the run around and have my modem reset a dozen times with the exact same outcome...

It would help if you post the model of the device.
Also look over the troubleshooting tips and post the downstream RF power levels, downstream SNR and upstream power levels on all channels.

Connecting more than one device to one computer

Hi, I have an iphone 3gs and my son has an ipod touch. Here's the problem when updating my apps from my phone Im being asked for my sons passorword. So what happened to my account?
1. How do I get my account back!
2. How do I set itunes to use 2 devices to one computer?
Thank you

There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPhones, and iPads that can be synced with iTunes on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer.
There will be a problem or something to take into account when there is more than one iTunes account used with iTunes and the same iTunes library on the same computer to download iTunes content from the iTunes store including 3rd party apps.
iTunes includes an option to sign out from one iTunes account and sign into another account when there is more than one iTunes account used with iTunes on the same computer. If you and your son have separate iTunes accounts, when syncing your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be signed into iTunes with your iTunes account. Before your son syncs his iPod Touch with iTunes, he needs to sign into iTunes with his iTunes account.
At the iTunes menu bar go to Store. If iTunes is signed in with your son's iTunes account, you need to sign out and sign in with your iTunes account.

Can I connect more than one device to home hub?

I am a new user and have my PC connected to my home hub and all works well.
My husband has just got an ANDROID and we want to connect as well. I thought I was doing it ok and entered the security key but all I get is authenticating and not much else and it does not connect. Have I missed something do I have to put anything else in other than the security key?
It connects ok to the external BTwifi and BT Wifi with Fon but of course we are not supposed to do that.
Sue

it may be a problem with your Android (whatever model) as any home hub or WiFi router should take loads of other devices I am not sure there is a limit but I have 8 connected.
If you have anyone else that has a tablet or phone that you can get them to test to see if the problem is with the hub or your android device.
The only other thing I can suggest is that if it is a home hub 4 which also uses 5Ghz as well as 2.4Ghz some people have had problems with 5Ghz and if you can see both from your device selecting the 2.4Ghz may help.

Fifth Generation Airpot Extreme MD031LL/A can't connect more than one device

I just came back from the Apple Store @ Cambridge, MA where I got a second fifth generation Airport Extreme Base Station (MD031LL/A) which is recognized by all the devices I have (Mac Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 Power Book) but I can only connect to the Internet via the Mac Pro. This is the second unit I try in a week and is just behaving the same way the previous one was and for which an Apple specialist at Apple Care told me "it shouldn't be behaving that way".
2 Airport Extreme Base Stations malfunctioning in a row makes me wonder what other options are left for me...

And here is the message I get after failing to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Notice how the bands went from 3 to 2 lines on the Airport Wi-Fi indicator next to the Airplane mode...

More than one device connected?

I am testing out a project for a mobile device and when I package the apk and attempt to launch it on my phone, I get an error message sying that it can't be done because I have more than one device connected. I only have one device connected.
I've tested this project before n my phone and it launched as it was supposed to, but I added a document class to the project and think that might be causing the problem. Previously, I added all of my action script to a keyframe on the timeline, and everything worked fine.
I'd like some feedback as to whether or no the document class issue is the likely problem and how to get around it. If that's not the problem, I'd like to what what might be going on. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

using a document class is not the problem (though your document class may be a problem if it has errors).
use a file explorer to see if your computer lists more than 1 connected device. or restart your computer to reset its external connections.

How do I use AE to allow more than one device with my cable modem?

I connected by AE to my cable modem at my house in Japan and it works fine on "bridge mode," but only for one device at a time (this laptop, but not my iPod Touch, or vice versa). As soon as I connect a new device, it will kick the other one off. It seems that my cable modem here will only allow one device. Is there a way that I can use my Airport Extreme to allow more than one device and not have to pay the Internet provider extra for multiple IP addresses? How do I go about this? Do I select "share a public IP address" or do I select "distribute a range of IP addresses?" I tried these options but obviously wasn't doing it correctly, because then I lost the connection for everything... Thanks!

It would be best if you "hard reset" the Airport Extreme to clear out the old and conflicting settings and then reconfigure it again.
Hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding for another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button. That will get the Extreme back to the original starting point.
After you have powered the modem back up after the full reset, you will need to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again. If you are using he guided setup in AirPort Utility, you will choose the option to "create a wireless network" during the setup.
If you are using the Manual Setup, the Wireless Mode will be "Create a wireless network" and the setting for Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address". Adjusting the Connection Sharing setting would be the last thing that you do before you click Update to save settings.
Here, I am assuming that you have a simple cable modem (it will have only one ethernet port), correct?

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

Airport disconnects when there's more than one device

I've got a really weird problem.. I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n 3rd Generation. Software version 7.6 When more than one device connecrts to the base station it will disconnect everyone and then all devices will go into a connect/disconnect loops. Rapidly. This occurs only with wireless device. I watched the radar on my iPhone (5.1), Macbook running Snow Leopard, Macbook Air running Lion, and iPad 2 (5.1) blinking on and off, on and off. The only way to resolve this is to just have ONE person connect at a time.
Things I've tried:
1) Updating all software on all devices
2) Updating Airport firmware
3) Reboot and then restoring factory settings on the Airport when the reboot didn't work
4) Turning off encryption (WP2)
5) Making sure there are enough IP's for all the devices, turning off robustness, making sure the router is visible.
Because I know someone will ask this: The Airport sits atop a credenza in the open air. Nothing on, around, or above it. It's been in this position for months with no problem. It's not overly warm to the touch and I even used compressed air to blow out the vents (just in case) when this problem began.
I read once upon a time that the router gets a cache built up and that can cause these types of issues, but I have no idea how to delete said cache or even if it exists. It's just odd this only happens when more than one wireless device tried to connect to the network.
Thoughts?

I've resolved this! For some odd reason Apple won't let me denote this so I'm adding this reply. Turns out the problem was POWER related. The Airport was plugged into a power strip with several other devices. I unplugged all of those leaving just the Airport and the problem has not returned. If I add on all the devices, regardless of the power strip used, the problem returns. So it appears the Airport was just not getting enough power.
I've got it on a UPS now and the problem has not returned.
