Unable to connect / super slow speed WiFi

Ok I am pretty good with all this stuff but I am totally stuck here :-(
What it comes down to is that I cannot connect Wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
Wired everything works fine. But wireless the speed is terrebly slow and connection dorps and/or times out.
Here is a list of what I did so far:
Updated and restored the software multiple times...
Restored the software from 2nd MB pro
Did complete restore (couple of times!)
Reset all network settings in the MB Pro
Flushed DNS cash in the MB Pro
2nd laptop has the same problem
iPhone can connect just fine!!!!
Verified hat the signal is clear on the channel.
Tested with and without the WPA/WPA2 Personal security
Tested with a fixed channel
Moved Airport elsewhere in the house (MB is sitting very close the the Airport Extreme....)
Replaced the Airport
One MB is on 10.6.8 (reloaded the combo update as well) The other MB Pro is 10.7.2
Any imput is greatly appriciated !!!!
Rogier

Both machines have the same problem. Strangely enough my iPhone 4 connects just fine!
The problem must be in the Airport Extreme that we already have replaced after I first tought that the Airpot card inside that unit had failed....

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity). I was able to with my 4s but not with my new 5s.

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network. I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]" Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network? My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.

I see the following instruction:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?

I am unable to connect to my home wifi, i was fine in a hotel this past week with the wifi

Question I am unable to connect to my home wifi, I was fine in a hotel this past week with their wifi, I am not that technical and need help also how do I find my operating system info??

Go to settings, general, about, and you will see "version." That will indicate what your operating system is such as 5.0.1 which is the most recent upgrade.
As for the wifi, you might try going to settings, then general, then at the bottom reset, then click on reset network settings. Back out of everything and then when you log back onto your wifi it will ask you for your local password (assuming you gave it one when your router was set up). Enter it and you should be good for go. At least this worked for me.
Good luck.

Unable to connect on a public wifi...[iPhone 4S]

Hello,
I got a little problem with my iPhone 4S 16go.
When i'm on 3G, I'm unable to connect on a public wifi that uses a pop-up to go trough an internet page to connect.
Normally, a pop-up opens automaticly with the commercial page where I need to click to connect. In fact, this pop-up is appearing but it stays white ... The only way it worked for connecting to wifi is when I turn off the 3G but there is surely a solution !
I count on you !

At a shopping center , but that's a commercial wifi that disconnect everytime when I put my cellphone on stanby mode. The connect, we need to go trough a site where we need to click to connect..

Unable to connect to a particular WIFI network

I am unable to connect to a particular wifi connect via my laptop which has windows 7 installed. The WIFI is password protected and I know the password, I am able to connect to that network using my mobile phone and other friends laptop.
I have also checked the router configuration to check my Wireless MAC is not blacklisted. The same laptop is able to connect to other WIFI networks without any problem. The problem is not with wifi drivers because I am able to connect to WIFI networks...
Is there any other configuration in the router that is preventing my laptop WIFI from getting connected ?

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you can’t connect to the Wifi? Can you find any related information in the Event View?
You can make the computer connect to others Wifi and check if it works.

Back from travelling (???) I am unable to connect to my home WiFi : impossible to turn the WiFi on. Anyone any clue ???

Hi,
Back from holiday (Thailand) where I connected both my Iphone4 And my MacBook Pro, I am unable to connect to my home WiFi. The icon "turn WiFi on" seems not to respond.
Has anyone a clue ???
Thanks

I cannot see how your travel can prevent you turning on wireless.
Did you do a full power cycle of both computer and phone?
Sorry but for phones I have no clue.. but I did find it failed to connect at times and you need to clear out all the old names.. full power off and on again and things suddenly start working.
Laptop can be same.. but apple has specific hardware testing available.
Look at doing tests.. or take them to an apple store and get both tested.
Is there other device still working fine on the home wifi.. have you power cycled that as well.

Unable to connect iPad Mini to Wifi as of this morning

My ipad mini stopped connecting to Wi-fi just this morning. My regular iPad 3 and iPhone 5 and other devices are all able to connect. I downloaded the latest software update (6.0.2) and I am still unable to connect the ipad mini to wifi. It has been reset, restored, etc etc etc and still is not working. I've tried everything I could think of and find for the past few hours. The 6.0.2 update was supposed to fix it as per the description, but it did not. Note that everything was working fine until this morning and nothing changed - no app downloads, nothing with the wifi, etc.
My iPad Mini still will not connect to Wi-fi. Any suggestions?

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

Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...

Since the Portico update the connection to Facebook both in the People and Me hub as well as in the Facebook app is very slow over WiFi, whilst still good over 4G/LTE (with WiFi off). The connection to the Nokia account also appears to have a similar problem. All other accounts and apps have good speed over both cellular and WiFi connections.
Any ideas anybody?
PS: FYI, a bit more info about the history and context: When I noticed the problem the first time after the update, I tried to solve it by deleting and re-adding my Facebook account on the phone. Unfortunately, that made me lose my Me hub tile, so I decided to do a full reset. That again unfortunately got stuck on the togg wheels, so I restored the phone using Nokia Care Suite with the latest firmware, and restored my accounts, apps and settings from scratch. Everythings seems to work fine now, except the above mentioned Facebook and Nokia account connectivity problem.

Did you somehow solve this problem?
I have the same issue here with my Lumia 920.
However I have already found out that it only applies to my home Wifi. All other Wifi networks i was connecting to did work flawlesly.
I need to note that all other devices on my home network are using facebook without a glitch. Only Lumia has some problems with it.

4G connection super slow with freedome

My internet connection is super slow with freedome. Normally without VPN I get 50Mdown and 10Mup, but with freedome I get only about 8Mdown and 10Mup. My ping is still pretty nice 35ms with your service. (normally I have 25ms ping) I use 4G USB tethered internet from motorola moto E phone. I already tried and they did nothing or made it worse: Tested many other servers/location, Disable firewall and other security applications, Reinstall windows (I had to do it anyway in near future), Made speed tests at different times and many times. I just made a year subcription for your service and atm your service is unusable for me.

Hello The_Monkey,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Do you still observe speed issues?
Note that any VPN Application will lower connection speed. Also tethering isn't supported with Freedome.

TS1398 I just restored my ipod because the 'other' section was taking up about half of the space on my ipod and now I am unable to connect to the my wifi and I was able to before restoring the ipod.

My wifi isnt letting me connect to it and i have no idea why. It was working just fine before i restored my ipod

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod 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.

Unable to connect to my house wifi (AirPort Extreme) on my dell & roku

I have setup my airport Extreme wifi, i am able to connect wifi on my samsung laptop, my dell studio 1537 and motorola droid phone. However, I am unable to connecte via wifi on my dell latitude e6430 laptop and Roku its not accepting the password i assigned, other devices wifi works except for these. i dont know what else to do.

What model is your AE? What firmware?
As a test.. do the a few more things.
1. Give a different name to 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless.
2. Set a fixed channel for the 2.4ghz.. use 11, 6, 1 in that order..
3. You may as well also remove the security whilst you do this.
So this is the most compatible you can ever make the AE.. if it fails at 2.4ghz running fixed channel with SMB compliant name and no security.. it is basically incompatible. And will never work.
If it works then immediately put the security back on.. if it then fails try wpa + wpa2 security which is not as good but not bad.. if it still fails, then the device is not compatible.
Simply buy a secondary AP to use with the non-compatible devices.. any old TP-Link N lite for $35 aprox will work great.

Original iPhone super slow on Wifi

Is this an upgrade problem? I thought it was because I moved to Europe and it was related to to that, but I did a search and noticed many people have same issues. My wifi is super slow on the internet, and even on loading mail, or sending: I couldn't get an pure text email out on wifi! What the ****? Any solutions? Tnxs!

I second this... everything was working fine on my home wifi. I had a iphone 4 and a 3g running without issue. Then I upgraded my wife's 3g to a 4 and now the wifi is slower than cellular data. for a while i couldn't even get on my wifi, after manually setting the wifi settings i was able but alot of apps just hang.
thoughts anyone?

TS1398 I am unable to connect to two different wifi at different locations having same name but different passwords

I am unable to connect to two different wi if at different locations having same user name but different password one is at home other at work

I was able to do a full reset on the router (pushing the tiny button near the power input). Then ran through the setup process and it started working on my device.

My internet speed is super slow with wifi. I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme

I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme and a 2nd generation Airport Express as an extender. I have Xfinity as my broadband provider and live in a decent size condo. In the last two months, the speed through my wifi has been horrible. In most cases, I can only get 2mpbs download and barely 1mpbs upload. The hard line connection through my iMac gives me 150mpbs download and 50+mpbs upload consistently. I've reset my routers and check for the latest software. I'm wondering if the interference from my neighbors wifi signals are to blame. Can someone please help me in restoring some decent speed with my wifi network?

It's entirely possible that the problem is interference, although resetting the Airports should force them to search for and lock in on the clearest channel available to minimize that.
Start by simplifying the network. Shut off the Express. Test while connected to the Extreme via WiFi. How's the performance? Can you ping the hard wired iMac from the Wireless network?
