Wi-fi access i can see the modem, but i cant join the network

I have upgraded my iPhone 4 and my wife's 3gs. Now neither one will access my wi-fi network. anyone else had this problem? FYI: i have gone through all the trouble shooting tiups at apple support. still no go.

I don't know what troubleshooting tips you tried, but one of the standard ones is to unplug the power to the model or router, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. It's basically a reboot of the device.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network. You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
Are you able to consider this option?
Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password. I have an HP laptop

Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

My mac can see the network but won't connect to the server

I have an intel Imac. The network connect is working but very squirrelly. I see most objects on the network. I can see the server but it will not let me connect.
I go to another mac and I can connect to the server. So I think its my mac 10.7.5 is the OS

Probably nothign to do with your iMac or OS X, have you attempted resetting your router? Also you haven't stated what messages you are getting or any other information. If this is at your work then I'd suggest contacting your IT support person, the connection to your network may be on their end.

My laptop won't see internet, but can see the network

I have Comcast internet service. The Modem is connected to my AirPort Extreme (n + gig-e) and the ethernet is distributed with a linksys gig-e switch. My PowerBook can still see the internet via a wireless connection (g) and the G4 PowerMac can still see the internet via Ethernet through the switch and router, but the MacBook Pro cannot see the internet using either the wired or wireless connection. It gets an IP address (MAC reservation) from the AE and it can connect to the other computers on the network, but it is not seeing the internet. I am assuming there is something screwy happening to the AE because the MacBook Pro connects to the internet just fine when I take it to work and my friend's PC laptop had the same problem on my home network.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts!

Seems like it is a DNS issue of some kind.
I changed the MacBook DNS servers to a bunch of public ones and now it seems to be working again.
I found them here: http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.shtml

Can see the network but not the basestation

I've seen lots of problems for configuring an older (Dual Ethernet) base stations, however I've not seen a problem quite like mine. both of my laptops can see and connect to the network, however the connection doesn't get past that point. This has happened before, however the new part is that neither of my laptops can find the base station via the airport admin utility. I have a MBP running leopard and a TiBook running 10.4.10 and they both have the same problem.
I've tried using the configure other option and enter the IP address for the router but I always get an error code. I've tried connecting via either of the 2 ethernet ports as well and neither of my computers will acknowledge that the base station is there. I've checked the original documentation and the lights are behaving as though nothing is wrong other than no network activity.
I'm loosing my patience and I'm about the throw the thing out a window

I have a similar problem with my TiBook G4 10.3.9 and my Airport Snow. The laptop does not see the base station and tells me I have no network selected. The TiBook sees other networks and lists them in Internet Connect, but my account is missing. The base unit seems to be functioning properly, flashing all the requisite lights.
I've tried using the Airport Setup Utility and the Airport Admin Utility to reconnect but neither sees the base unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HT204409 able to connect to wi-fi on my iPad but not my iPhone even though I can see the network

Udated my iphone and I am unable to connect to wi-fi even though it shows up in my setting. My ipad is abel to connect. I reset the modem and then the router still nothing. It just says unable to connect. Searched the internet and found this to be a common problem. I have a router that is an 802.11n network but like I said my ipad has no problems. Any sollution out there other than restting my router?

Can you send a screenshot of your phone?

My macbook pro can see the network, gets full signal, but won't connect. When I run diagnostics, it automatically connects, but only if I run the diagnostics. Why won't it connect by itself?

Macbook Pro won't auto connect to wifi, but when I start diagnostics, then it will connect. It seems it requires diagnostics in order to get connected to wifi.
any ideas

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

I have a mini I pad and it can see the wifi

When I try and test wifi with another I pad this works ok have tried rebooting router and also turning off mini iPad but still will not connect when looking for wifi the mini pad can see the network and allows you to select it but will not connect to it has any body got any solutions for this

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

HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

Known bug. Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.
