When my daughter connects to our home wifi she has to be within 5 feet of the modem, once she moves upstairs she loses wifi connection and then when choosing the network, it can't find our wifi network?

When my daughter tries to connect to our home wifi, she has to be in the basement within 5 feet of our modem.  Once she comes upstairs she loses the connection.  All of our other devices connect to the wifi on all levels of our house, including her Dad who also got an iphone 4 and her ipod works as well as her brother's ipod and my blackberry.  I have tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I have already had our modem rebooted through our internet provider so I know the signal is good (as well as all other devices connect to wifi) I am losing sleep over this and she is quite frustrated so any help would be appreciated.  I'm starting to wonder if it's a defect in her phone???

Is her iPhone in a case by any chance?  If so, remove the case and try again.  How does her iPhone work in free Wi-Fi locations?
Try resetting the iPhone...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
If none of the above work take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation.  She will not be charged folr this and they will suggest a solution if there is a fault.

  • I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely.

    I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.

    Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

    I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.

  • My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help.  If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
    The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod.  If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • How to upgrade firmware PLE400 and PLS400 - Utility v1.4.5.0 can't find adapters on network

    Need help.
    Trying to upgrade all of my Linksys Powerline Adapters to latest firmware. Only the PLW400 could be found by ip address to update firmware. 
    For the other PLE400 and PLS400 adatpers, I can't find them on local network by IP, so I downloaded and installed the powerline av utility v1.4.5.0   But this utility does not find any of the adapters on the network. Does not work to scan network for these devices. Using Windows 7 computer. 
    Please help. Trying to get my Powerline network adapters all functioning 100%. Thanks!

    Hi @NO_SCREENNAME@. Have you tried disabling any firewall or anti-virus when you do the update? Also, have you directly connected your computer to the Powerline before doing the update? You may also follow the steps from Linksys KB Article, if you already downloaded the latest AV Utility.

  • I want to open an excel file from a folder in the Microsoft live office on Hotmail. Their instruction is to go to tools in Firefox, go to plug-ins and then install Microsofts Office 2010. Can't find plug-h. Help?

    I have uploaded an excel file from my desk top to the Windows Live (HOTMAIL?) office suite. When I try to open the file I get an error that says my system is not supported. My system passes all of the listed criteria except for one. That is a plug in from Firefox. The instructions say to go to the Firefox menu, click on tools then plug-ins. Of course when I go to tools plug-ins is not immediately available, but when I do go to plug-ins, I am to click on Microsoft Office 2010. This plug in is supposed to allow earlier versions of office documents to be viewed as well as Office 2010. The plug-in is not available. When I search the Firefox website I am not able to find such a plug-in.
    I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox prior to V4. V4 does not support all of my e-mail clients so am not able to use V4.

    I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox V4 but I have this same problem.

  • Can you increase the brightness of a photo in order to edit and then return to the original brighten

    Can you increase the brightness of a photo temporarily while editing in PS and then return to the original brightness.  My problem is that I want to delete some objects in my photo and can hardly see them.

    Awesome--some of my menu choices were not the same so I had to guess but I did it and it preserved the original brightness.
    My path:
    View->Proof Setup->Custom->Device to simulate: sRGB ice (bunch of nos.)->Preserve no. set on
    And Voila!  it returned me to my orignal colors and brightness and maintained the other changes I made.
    Thank you.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

    A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

    Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults."  This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

  • HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

    My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
    I swtiched off  the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
    Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

    I have the exact same problem.
    It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
    Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
    I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
    The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
    Hope someone can shed some light on this.

  • TS1398 I can not find my wifi network on my ipad. My iphone conected fine.

    I can not find my wifi network on my ipad, My iphone connects fine. I tryed restarting the ipad and router. Please help

    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

  • TS1398 OS 7: can't use a WIFI network cause can't find "accept cookies"

    I just installed OS7 in my iphone.
    After that the WIFI network in my hotel is not working anymore. It displays the following message:
    - "you would not be able to log in until you enable cookies in your web browser"
    The problem is that if I go to <settings> and then to <safari>, the menu only has option to BLOCK cookies, not ACCEPT. Thus I choose BLOCK/NEVER but still I receive the same message after trying again.
    So: Do you know in OS7 where is the menu to accept cookies? (it is not in the SETTINGS/SAFARI menu).

    I had the same problem with my iphone 5s's running 7.0.3 and 7.0.4  ...but the solution i found is that the wireless routers may need to be updated.
    My mother has an older router and i could not connect either phone to her wifi, i have a new router and when i tried connecting  both phones to the wifi it worked..
    So the simple solution may be to either get a newer wireless router or upgrade the software on the one you have.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod touch can't find any wifi?

    My iPod touch can't find any wifi at all. I've restored it reset everything and it still can't find the wifi even when I had it right next to the router. Any help please? I got this ipod from my brother a few days ago and apparently the wifi worked fine until he updated it to the 3.1 update or something like that so he gave it to me. I want to be able to connect to the wifi in my house and it just won't. Any help please????

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
