Wi Fi connection to droid hotspot

I own a I pad 2 16 GB wi fi only
I am having trouble connecting to my Droid with hotspot Verizon 4G
most of the time it connects fine but the problem comes in when there are other wi fi networks around me. it see them but all of them are secure so I can't connect to them.
*********** Is there a way to make the I pad slave to the Droid hotspot network so it always see it? ***********
Thanks for your help

Okay
I will try that when I get back to the crowded wifi area and get back to you.
Thanks again
It makes sense!
I was at the Apple store today they couldn’t figure it out.

Error when I try to connect to BTFON HotSpot (This...

Every time I try to connect to BTFON HotSpot through the ipod app, I get the following error. This hotspot is currently unavailable.
If I try to connect manually, I get the connected tick, and the bars at top left, but Safari tells me I am not connected to the internet.
I have not yet found a Hotspot that does not give me the unavailable error.
If I try to connect to "THE CLOUD" it works straight away.
Any ideas please, or am I just unlucky in where I have been (Centre of Brighton)
Thank You
Mike

It also won't connect to BTOpenzone - just to my homehub.
Is it the openzone associated with your own homehub or another location, there have been instances where the public side of the HH has locked up stopping connection with it, a reboot "should" clear the lockup

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device 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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Ipad2 no longer connects to my hotspot on my Iphone 4

It worked for about a week and then stopped connecting to my hotspot and then I tried with my husbands iphone and it also would not connect but the ipad will connect to my home wifi. Any suggestions???

You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

Ask on a Windows forum since that's what you're having a problem with.

I purchased an Italian hotspot to access internet on my American Ipad2 while abroad. I had no trouble connecting to the hotspot but when I try and access the internet it "cannot connect to the server". what does that mean and how can I fix it?

I am abroad for the summer and there is no internet available. I purchased a hotspot in a nearby vodaphone and they helped me connect the Ipad to the hotspot. I assumed I would have no trouble after that. Once I got home though and connected to the hotspot i found i could not open the internet without getting a notice about not connecting to the server. I have a signal and can connect to the hotspot and yet i get no internet. I already spent 50 euro on the hotspot for 2 months of wifi...is there a way to actually fix the problem without me having to spend more money?

I'm guessing e mail does not work either. While the pad is seeing the network, it is not yet connecting, probably trying to work through your security set up. I suggest you go to settings, then network, then the details of the network. Do you see an ip address that starts with 192.168.1. Then some number? If not, the router has not made friends with the pad.
Suggest that from that same screen, you select 'forget this network'. Then start over again, paying close attention to what happens when you provide the security password.

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 wont connect to verizon hotspot

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
I cant get it to connect to my Iphone 4S Verizon Hotspot. Other computers will connect to the hotspot so I know the phone part is working.
I turn on the hotspot, find the network "iphone" in the airport bar, but when I connect it just gives me an exclamation point.
I tried tethering with bluetooth and usb with no results.
There is no firewall active and I cant figure out what other network settings might be stopping the connection. The computer was configured to work with my local NAS, so maybe the tech guy did something to the settings regarding that?
Please help!

Connecting to Personal Hotspot via Bluetooth?

Last night I discovered my daughter can connect her iPod Touch 5 (iOS 8.0.2) to my iPhone 5 (also iOS 8.0.2) using the Personal Hotspot function (via Bluetooth) even when Personal Hotspot is set to OFF on my phone. Is that really working as intended by Apple?
If she tries to connect via WIFI, she cannot unless I have the Personal Hotspot set to ON. OK good, that makes sense!
If she connects via Bluetooth though, she always sees my phone and if she selects that connection, it turns my Personal Hotspot on my phone from OFF to ON. That just seems odd to me. I'd prefer to restrict that. I have noticed that even if I change my password on the Personal Hotspot, it does not matter. If she selects that connection via Bluetooth, BOOM... It changes it on my phone from OFF to ON.
Anyone else notice this? Sure, I can turn off Bluetooth on my phone to stop it, but I use BT quite a bit for speakers and in my car. I usually prefer to leave it ON. She also uses BT for her wireless speaker.
IMO, Apple should change that to if I have my personal Hotspot set to OFF, it should not be visible at all unless I turn it ON (like it works over the wifi connection).

Personal hotspot is a carrier feature.

Lost connection to personal hotspot after upgrading iTunes

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen ,
Used to enjoy connecting my Mac Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8) to personal hotspot through USB port (since I don't have WiFi card installed.
Was fantastic.
Received a message to upgrade iTunes ... I did ... and the joy has gone (Grrrr) .... Lost the USB connection to Personal Hotspot.
Now I have upgraded iTunes + iO7 ... still have the same problem ... iPhone 4S doesn't appear on the network via USB.
Help
Best regards.

" ... other things will show up with that name ..."
Well, the one thing I can think of is that your iPhone will show up with "that name" on iTunes' summary tab when you sync it. Also, if you receive any warning messages from iTunes on your computer, the messages will have that name.

Hey there arunvdi,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Can N8 auto-connect to a hotspot?

Hello
I wondered if it is possible for the N8 to auto-connect with a login to a Hotspot?
When I'm at home, the device connect flawlessly to my wifi and my newsfeeds gets updated the way they should.
However, when I'm at work you have to connect to the Hotspot using an individual login - for security reasons.
So right now you have to use the N8 browser - login on a homepage and then you're good to go to receive updates, feeds etc..
It is clumsy - from my perspective anyway.
Can it be done automatically - or do the wifi-administrators have to change some settings?

It will be the admin settings at work, my phone, and any other wifi enabled Nokia AFAIK can be set to automatically log on to a known wifi hotspot from the connectivity settings, I have about 3 on my E7 which will connect automatically with no action required !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

TS2756 Windows XP SP3 unable to wirelessly connect to personal hotspot?

iPhone 4s version 6.0.1 + AT&T data plan with tethering
Mac OSX version 10.7.5
Windows XP SP3 v 2002 + Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN network adapter, driver version 15.2.0.19 6/2012
Problem: I can use my Mac (today) to wirelessly connect to my iPhone personal hotspot but my Windows computer doesn't see the hotspot in available networks.
Background: My personal hotspot would work for a while then drop out. I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 Monday morning, and Monday evening a friend with Windows 7 could connect to my hotspot but I could not wirelessly connect the Mac to the hotspot. I went through all the troubleshooting: restored network settings, closed apps, restarted services, rebooted, verified AT&T still had me on a tethering plan - the only thing that fixed it was a complete restore, however my Windows XP computer still can't see it. It can see and connect to other networks. I upgraded the network adapter driver, rebooted, repaired the wireless network connection, released/renewed all ip addresses, and confirmed with Intel that the adapter supports WPA/WPA2. It can see and connect to other wireless networks.
This Apple Support KB article says I should be able to use the hotspot via wifi with "A device with Wi-Fi with support for WPA/WPA2 encryption," however the Apple tech support supervisor I spoke with today said the hotspot only works wirelessly with Windows 7 and Vista.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hello JMeFX. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try the following:
o If you are running wireless encryption on the Time Capsule (TC) temporarily disable it. Can the PC connect wirelessly now?
o If the PC is still unable to connect with encryption disabled, try changing the default radio mode from "802.11n (b/g compatible)" to "802.11g only." You can access this mode by holding down the Ctrl key before making the selection in the AirPort Utility.

I hope so too. So what have you actually done to fix your issue?

IPad 3 with iOS 6 won't connect to Wifi Hotspot

I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01. It connects to wifi networks perfectly. I also own a Blackberry 9900 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot. The iOS6 iPad will not connect to my hotspot.
It is NOT the hotspot that is the problem. PCs connect to it as does my Android tablet. In fact I tried an iPad 2 with iOS v5.x and it connected instantly as well.
This is an iOS 6 problem I am positive. Any ideas anyone? Reseting network connections does not work.
Thanks,
Shawn

I tried the method above several times however I had to refine it using the following method:
Once I received the message on the iPad settings window "unable to connect to network" I unticked the hotspot option on the blackberry. The mobile network and Wi-Fi boxes on your blackberry should both remain ticked, retick the hotspot box on your blackberry and only when the word "connecting" appears next to the box select the join button on the network settings on your iPad or choose your hotspot in the network list.
You should now be able to switch between your Wi-Fi networks and your hotspot, if this does not automatically happen then Repeat of the above process waiting for the word "connecting" before joining the hotspot network.
Now you're not forced to buy an iPhone!!!
