Unable to connect to home network on my iPad 2.

It's been working fine, until this morning. I reset the router (linksys), turned off MAC filtering. Wi-fi settings show "home", but Safari says not connected.

From manual:
Network
Use Network settings to configure a VPN (virtual private network) connection, or
access Wi-Fi settings.
Add a new VPN configuration:  Choose General > Network > VPN > Add VPN
Configuration.
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPod touch.
iPod touch can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols.
Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPod touch.
Once you enter VPN settings, a VPN switch appears in the Settings menu that you can
use to turn VPN on or off.
VPN may also be automatically set up by a configuration profile. See “Connecting to
the Internet” on page 19.
Change a VPN configuration:  Choose General > Network > VPN and tap the
configuration you want to update.
Turn VPN on or off:  Choose VPN, then tap to turn VPN on or off.
Delete a VPN configuration:  Choose General > Network > VPN, tap the blue
arrow next to the configuration name, then tap Delete VPN at the bottom of the
configuration screen.

  • WiFi -  unable to connect to home network

    I had a problem syncing and iTunes not recognizing my iPod touch, (and my new iPad). Did a restore on the iPod Touch and that solved the syncing problem, now I cannot connect to the WiFi in my home, (cannot connect with my new iPad either). I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router Model WRT160N. I am dying to connect the new iPad and get it up and running, etc. Can anyone help me solve the "Unable to connect to (my home network's name)".

    Use G band, not N. I encountered a lot of problems with my new router on wireless N. Here is a reply I wrote for the other posts about iPad connectivity problems:
    I have the base iPad 16gb Wi-Fi model and it was connecting to wifi fine. A few days ago I had to get a new modem/router. I bought a netgear dual band model (G and N) and used wireless "N" on my my two MacBooks and my iPad.
    Two days ago I started getting the "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." error on the iPad along with the schizophrenic signal strength bars going from three, to one, to two, to disappearing totally, to whatever, and Safari not opening pages and sometimes crashing, and when it would connect running slower than molasses.
    My laptops worked fine, seeing both G and N and working equally well regardless of which I chose.
    I did all the jumping thru hoops I have read on this and various forums and that Apple suggested back in April with naming each band on the router differently but with same security settings, renewing lease on Safari, reseting iPad, resetting network settings, turning auto connect off, etc., etc., etc, none of it worked.
    So I started to wonder . . . does the iPad even work with "N" . . . the Apple site says "yes", but I wondered . . . what happens if I have the iPad ignore "N" and connect only with "G".
    Guess what . . . that fixed the problem.
    I went into Settings > WiFi > and told it to "Forget this Network" for the "N" band and then selected the "G" band.
    Problems gone.
    If you're experiencing the connection problems I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you're trying to use wireless "N". Have it ignore that band and use "G".     

  • Unable to connect to home network (WPA2-PSK, works on Windows)

    Hello!
    I am having problems with connecting to my home network (on a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7360 SL) which uses WPA2-PSK encryption.
    Windows works normally so I don't think that it is a router issue.
    In addition, I managed to connect to my Universities WPA2 network and another unsecured network without problems.
    I tried netcfg+wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant on its own and wicd (on a sidenote, wicd didn't even manage to connect to the router when using a cable). None worked.
    This is the wpa_supplicant conf file that I am using:
    ## wpa_aachen.conf
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1
    network={
    ssid="myssid"
    psk=hexcode
    proto=WPA RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    I am getting an "authentication timeout" error everytime I try. Yes, I double and triple checked the passphrase. I also tried it via hexcode and plaintext passphrase.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Ive been trying the same thing for several hours googling it etc. wicd doesnt work always ends up with bad password error no matter what..
    so.. this worked for me:
    get into term as root and type:
    NetworkManager start
    then it will pop up in the notification area click network settings / wireless /connect to hidden network and type name, pass and it connect just fine..
    really simple and it works

  • Unable to connect to home network.

    Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, connecting to my network is complicated task. I am able to go on the internet, but it seems the workgroup on my Macbook is incorrect from my Windows workgroup. How can I enter the proper workgroup on my Macbook, I've tried everything. Sorry if this question has been asked numerous times.
    Thanks in advance...

    I've had my MB for nearly 8 months now and have never been able to network with the other 2 Windows computers in my home. I've tried everything I could think of including proper workgroup names. I think it just some security protection that is preventing the MB from interfacing with my home network.
    For the most part, I've given up and since my MB IS able to share the router and access the internet, I don't much care anymore.

  • Suddenly unable to connect to home network

    My new Macbook 2.0Ghz recognised our home wireless network within seconds of being set up, and has worked fine for 2 days. But today it is no longer connecting.
    The network appears under the airport icon in the menu bar, but when I click on it an alert box comes up after about 20 seconds saying ‘There was an error joining the airport network Netgear.’
    According to Network Diagnostics, all the network systems have failed. The Network icon in the Finder side bar no longer shows a server, and the System Profiler says ‘Wireless network not available’.
    We have 2 other Macs in the house, and they are both working fine. Any ideas about what’s suddenly gone wrong with my new Macbook, and how to fix it?
    Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I don't want to start fiddling around with the hardware on my new machine, Rick, but I've tried a few other things.
    I changed the channel on my router from 11 to 3 this morning, and it appeared to work - suddenly I could connect straight away, even with all the other computers using the internet. However, when I started my macbook up later on, it did not connect.
    It does seem that if I reboot the router and go online first (ie. with the other computers switched off), I can connect. But obviously that's not a proper fix!
    I've also downloaded iStumbler on all the computers, and it shows 0% noise for the connection on the others, but 9% on my macbook. I don't know if this is perhaps affecting my connection?
    I've also tried resetting the network settings (by removing the SystemConfiguration folder) and manually configuring my connection, but with no success.
    Has any one got any ideas?

  • Unable to connect to home network using a Linksys WRT110 router

    I recently had to upgrade from a Linksys G router to a new router--the Linksys WRT110.  I was able to connect to the WiFi using my Palm TX prior to doing a firmware update to the Linksys WRT110.  Now, my Palm TX doesn't even recognize that there is a network.  I put the network name in manually and it still won't connect.  I don't know what else to do!  Incidentally, my home computer and my laptop connect to the router wirelessly just fine.  I appreciate any help that i can get to enable me to use my WiFi on my Palm TX at home.
    Thanks.

  • Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

    At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
    As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
    If I move back downstairs it reconnects
    This has only started happening in the past week or so
    I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
    I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

    Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded.  Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
    Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

    It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

    Same To me. I have Asus WL-500W router at home, WPA2-PSK(AES), password similar to this "lIGf@91pY0TnFY!Jh@7LjTUlsL3ZPY", MAC address filtering. My old Nokia E51 works, my Touch Pro Works with it. When i try my one day old Nokia E72 it does not work, the same like others:WLAN: Unable to connect. Wlan Network not Found. E72 works at my work wifi, which has the same settings but without mac filtering. Have no idea what is happening, all is setting correctly. MAC address of E72 is allowed on router. It has the same settings like E51, but E51 works like a charm E72 does not work. What is wrong?
    As already suggested, you could try disabling the MAC filtering from the router, just to outrule possibility of a typo while entering E72's MAC address to router settings.
    Have you tried swithing a WLAN channel that your router uses?
    Log in to your router's web management pages (check router's default IP address and username/password from it's manual) and switch of the "Automatic" channel selection mode. Try few different channels, like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, if one of the channels happens to work any better. Note that in case you have set your router to use channels 12 or 13 (or in case "Automatic" channel selection mode has decided to select channel 12 or 13) you must have a SIM card inserted and some other than "Offline" profile enabled on your phone since Offline mode (i.e. airplane / flight mode) won't allow your phone to operate on higher channels than 11.
    In case you have configured your WLAN network (SSID) to be "hidden", try disabling hidden SSID mode on the router.
    Asus WL-500W router seems to be a pre-standard 802.11n device so might be worth looking in to your router's WLAN settings and see if playing around with router's WLAN operating mode and settings improve the situation. First of all ensure that your router is not set to operate in 20/40MHz mode (set it to 20MHz only) assuming that the router is in default 802.11b/g/n mode. You could also try disabling the 802.11n mode completely by selecting a 802.11b/g mode (if available).
    You should probably also check that you're running latest (2.0.0.6 ??) firmware version on your Asus WL-500W router since there seems to plenty of complaints regarding WLAN connectivity and stability issues (in general, not specific to Nokia handsets) with this particular router model.

  • IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

    I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our  wireless laptops.  Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
