Why wont our smartphones connect to wifi?

just had our phone and bb turned on this morning, We have an iphone and huewei blaze, followed all the settings etc but just keeps saying disconnected. The phone settings are all right, seems to be from bt end. Does it just take a while or something? Oh and i have logged into account online. Dont have a working pc at the moment, just logged in on my mobile web. Is this something to do with it?
Much appreciated :-)

Hi leighleigh,
Sorry to see this problem,
It could be channel interference from a nearby router or hub,
This link has some useful information http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/wireless/wireless_conns.html
WiFi has nothing to do with BT's end, only the broadband is managed by BT, they don't have any control over your WiFi,
Hope this helps,
Many Thanks,
Dominic.

Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

You just aren't suppling us with enough information. Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work? Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point? Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in? We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
Thanks,
L.

Do other devices still connect to your network?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

Try #5.
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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Why can't I connect to WiFi?

Why can't I connect to WiFi when asked for a password, but I can connect to the same WiFi if no password is required? When I type in the password, I get the following message, "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Verizon SCH-LC11 d8dd Secure".
When using my PowerBook G3 Pismo, running 10.4.11, I have no problem connecting to any WiFi that does not require a password.
But I get the same error message when a password is requested. I have removed the password requirement from some of my WiFi options, and make the connections and internet functions correctly.

Judging from what you wrote, because there is something wrong with the settings or the password or passphrase. Make sure all devices use the same type of encryption, and make sure you enter the correct password. WRT to this, read

Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

Because it has a RISC processor. Just brag about all the MHz or even GHz while you are waiting like other Intel users. Using my trusty G4 rather than MBP becase its simply faster.

Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why won't safari connect to wifi?

why wont safari connect to wifi? I turn my 4G off when i'm home so that the connection is only through wifi.

first are you able to see the WI-FI signal bar on the left top corner, if yes there should not be any problems technically
if you the new ipad 3
if you can see the wi-fi bars and still no connection you'll have to probably go to apple store as there are known issues with wi-fi connectivity

Why isnt my ipod connecting to wifi?

It says its connect and it has full bars but nothing connecting on it? i dont know what it is becasue my internets working fine its just on my ipod and it worked ealier but it wont now. usually this doesnt last for more than 5 minutes its been an hour.. help!!

Okay, go to your wifi settings on the ipod, then where it says "choose network" go to "other" (forget the fact that your network name may already be listed) and type the name of your network in there. Then, go to "security" and choose the type of security you have setup for your wifi. For instance, mine is WPA2 Personal so I chose "WPA2" from the list. Then click back one screen where you entered your network name. You will now see it prompting you for a password. This is NOT your wifi password but rather the long key generated when you setup your router. I have a Linksys router and my password is 10 characters long. After you've entered this, your device should connect to your wifi.

Why wont my netflix connect to HD TV through chromecast. No problem connecting youtube from apple mini ipad

My apple mini ipad will connect you tube to my HD TV through chromecast. Why won't my netflix on my mini ipad connect to my HD TV through chromecast?

Could you specify what brand, model, and ports the TV has?
Perhaps the maker of the digital TV has customer support.
Unless that's part of the issue, a general lack of it there, too.
However remote that may be, a few have a web page with
pictures of the back or end of their product with ports in view.
And/or a schematic of the kinds of gremlins they have inside.
Was your MB/Pro a certified Apple Store refurbished 'special deal' or bought at a retail store from existing stock that may have been an older model?
In either case, the ability to return the item has a limited duration from the date of purchase; unless there is a technical issue whereby they may choose to repair or replace a failed component or device. Perhaps someone with more experience with the device and adapters will offer their take on what to attempt next.
Sorry you've had so much trouble...
Good luck in any event.
