Wifi - Connected with no Connectivity

After a reset of my D-Link DIR-855 router, my Ipad2 and Iphone 4 are performing poorly (or not at all), not being able to access any internet or online content even though both are connected to the router. I have tried resetting the router, the modem, the ipad 2, restoring to a back up, reset network setting, toggling brightness and just about every other setting, changing wifi type and password. Note that our laptop connects well and has no problems. I am at a loss as to how both iOS gadgets can be crippled due to a router restart even when no settings were changed. Help please......

I had this same problem with that exact same router.  My computers worked just fine, but my xbox and iPhone didn't.  The router just failed, but not completely.
Do you have a spare router to test with?  One thing I learned from my fiasco was to always have a backup router tucked away in the closet, especially since they're so cheap now.

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

  • Wifi connection issues with Home Hub 5

    Hi can any body help because I am starting to get very frustrated with the Home Hub 5 and it's wireless connection.
    infinity 2 was installed at my house in the beginning of September, everything worked Ok for three weeks then for no apparent reason the hub kicked out all of my wireless devices (phones, kids iPods, tablets etc) at 6:45 one morning. When I got home from work I rang BT and was told to perform a Pin reset. This seemed to work but less tham 48 hours later at exactly the same time in the morning the hub kicked out all of my devices again, this time I just pressed the restart button on the top of the hub and everything reconnected but the Wifi range within my house had dropped. A few days later the hub kicked all my devices out again (each time it has done this the light on the hub has remained blue showing it is supposedly working OK)
    One evening this week the hub of its own accord cycled through all the colours of lights indicating problems and that it was restarting. Today at 10:15 the hub kicked all my Wifi devices out again. I have contacted BT every time this has happened and told them about the poor range of the Wifi signal.
    I do not want to be restarting/resetting my Hub every couple of weeks i need a permanent solution.
    One of the reasons I switched from TalkTalk to BT when fibre became available was the fact that the Home Hub 5 was supposed to be the best provided router by any of the networks, being the only one that is an AC class router. The thing costs £130 if you want to by one. Quite frankly the £60 TP-Link dual band router I bought when I was with TalkTalk had a better range and was more stable. I would switch back to that if I knew BT's router settings (but they like to keep that a secret)
    I really am beginning to regret switching from TalkTalk. Please someone restore my faith in BT.
    Sorry for the lengthy rant but I hope you can understand why I've ranted for so long.

    Hi imjolly
    Sorry its taken a while to reply to your post.
    I wanted to try BT's latest attempt at a solution before i tried your idea.
    Since your reply the Home Hub 5 has dropped the Wifi connection to my devices another three times.
    The second time less than 30hours after BT's so called fix, which was to make sure the 5Ghz channel was not syncing with the 2.4Ghz channel. Tonight it went again and BT's response was to take the router out of smart channel selection and manually select channel 9,6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 36,40,44 or 48 on 5Ghz. Well I havent even bothered with that, if the prats at BT would look at their records they would see they have already suggested that.
    This HH5 is the most unreliable piece of garbage i have ever had the misfortune to use. WHY OH WHY did I leave TalkTalk
    I have tonight tried your solution. Fingers crossed that this works.

  • Issues with WiFi connection to Deskjet 3545

    Hi,
    I have number of issues with WiFi connection to my new Deskjet 3545 AIO:
    1. Printer is not able to get IP address automatically from home WiFi router (all other devices get IP with no problem). Using WPS allow printer to register in network but after switching off, WPS setting is not stored, so I have to do it again. This I was able to solve with manual entering of IP address, netwrok mask, DNS and gateway address.
    2. Official HP software installed from HP site was able to find printer for 3dattempt, and it started to work. But after a while, "HP utility" program loose connection to printer,  so I can not see any parameters, and I get "can not find printerä message when start to to print. After a some time (minutes to hours), whithout any action from my side, connection to printer seems to be restored, so I can see printer parameters in "HP utility" and printing is started.
    3.  Official HP software installed from HP site on PC (Windows 7) is not able to find printer on WiFi at all, works only with USB.
    All this is disaponinting and unexpected, as my office HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color works perfect.

    Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal.
    Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.
    If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.
    Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals.
    I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a nice day!

  • Why is my iPhone 5's iMessage not working in wifi connection consistently? (wifi works with apps/web no issues)

    My iPhone 5 (newly updated to 6.0.2) will not send messages in iMessage all the time-very inconsistent.  The wifi works with my phone when I use apps/search the web with no issues all of the time.  For an unspecified time span, iMessage will sometimes send and receive messages, but for the most part will give me the error message: Message Send Failure.  My iMessage & facetime is activated on my device for my phone and email addresses. I am in another country currently and solely rely on wifi for my connection and have turned off my data.  I have toggled my wifi, turned off my phone, and reset my phone and still haven't had any luck.  Any help is greatly appreciated as to why my phone is having these issues in a perfectly fine working wifi connection. (another iPhone 5 user has no issues in the wifi)

    Have you tried a complete reset/restore iOS 7?
    Back up your iPhone to iCloud and/or iTunes.
    Open iTunes and make sure you have the latest version (11.1).
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    On the Summary screen, click Restore next to (Check for Updates). This will reset your phone to factory settings and reinstall iOS 7.
    After iOS 7 has been reinstalled, you can restore your back up from iCloud or iTunes.

  • Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

    Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi? 
    I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students.  She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution.  The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection. 
    I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it.  So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do.  I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

    Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

  • Connection timeout on hotel wifi - only with MacBook8.1 (810.9)  configd plug-in:8.1 (810.9)

    I'm having a "Connection Timeout" issue while trying to connect to my hotel's WIFI.
    I bought an ex-lease refurbished white MacBook (Build 12E55 - 2.4GHz, the last 2010 model I think) a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so I could use it while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia. I've got OS X 10..8.4 installed. 
    At home in Australia, this MacBook connected to my home WIFI with absolutely no issues at all.
    Now that I'm in Bali, I'm surprised to find that every time I try to connect to the WIFI at the hotel (where I'm staying for a whole month), I get a "Connection Timeout" error. I'm surprised because my iPhone connects to the hotel WIFI with no problem at all, as does our two iPads and the Android phones that belong to other family members. It's only my MacBook that struggles, even though I get even better signal strength indicated on my MacBook compared to my other devices.
    I can connect my MacBook to my iPhone hotspot fine, though I'd prefer to use the free hotel WIFI over my very small 3G data allowance.
    So the problem isn't that my MacBook can't connect to any WIFI, because it did at home and it still can to my iPhone hotspot.
    And the problem isn't with the router, because all other devices work flawlessly.
    I've trawled many forums and articles trying to find a solution. Here's everything I've tried already, that I can remember. (Not in this order and not all at once.)
    Rebooted MacBook (duh)
    Sitting directly under the WIFI router. (It's not a signal strength issue.)
    Set up new Network > Location. Deleted Ethernet and Bluetooth PAN so it's just WIFI in the list.
    Renewed DHCP Lease countless times.
    Tried manual TCP/IP variations. It doesn't help that I'm not sure what to put in the IPv4 Address field. I do know the Subnet Mask and Router IP from looking at my iPhone network info.
    Tried using my MAC address as the DHCP Client ID. Also tried just using "1" or leaving it blank.
    I don't know what an IPv6 is either.
    Tried BootP and completely Manual setups but not really sure of the correct settings to try.
    Tried using the DNS servers that I found on my iPhone network info for the hotel WIFI. (One of them is 8.8.8.8 which I think is Google's DNS thing?)
    Tried checking Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP Mode, since it was suggested as part of a solution in a forum thread.
    Tried changing the MTU to a couple of other settings from an article I read. I think one was around 1453 and the other was 1494 or something close to that.
    Tried resetting PRAM
    Tried resetting SMC
    Tried a variation on resetting SMC that involved pressing down the normal keys plus one extra, for 10 secs, since it worked for someone who was told to do that by an Apple Care person. (He didn't know why it worked and other forum posters thought it was supposed to have been a SMC reset.)
    Checked the Network> Wi-Fi in System Information to see if the Channel is compatible. The router uses Channel 1 and my MacBook is capable of using Channel 1.
    Checked my country profile. It's X1. I have no idea if that's good. All I know is that I'm in Indonesia not Australia and I'm having WIFI issues with this hotel network.
    Checked the PHY Mode. Supported are 802.11 a/b/g/n. The hotel router uses 802.11n.
    Made sure I was using WPA2 Personal.
    Tried deleting all WIFI-related passwords in Keychain.
    Tried deleting all Network-related preference files.
    Tried removing all LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents.
    It's not a "lost WIFI connection when waking from sleep" issue but I tried turning off sleep anyway.
    My husband even had the nerve to unplug the hotel router (small hotel, we're the only guests at the moment) for 10 minutes hoping it will reboot. But I don't know if that's the actual modem or just a WIFI repeater thing (sorry, can't remember the right terms). It didn't work anyway.
    I've run out of options, other than just sucking it up and getting a big 3G data allowance since I'm here for a month.
    If there is anything else I can try - perhaps working out how to set up my Network manually properly, please help me out. Here is everything in System Information that might help. I'll happily provide any other info.
    Software Versions:

    Sorry. The topic title got mucked up when I tried to paste in my System Information. And I can't paste it in using my iPhone without it going haywire. I can provide any details you need.

    So disappointed with IOS 6.  I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it.  Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?

    Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed.  Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade.  Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other Wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home Wifi is with Att uverse

    Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.

    Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
    Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router.

  • Issue with update to 10.6.5 and WIFI connection

    I have been having an ongoing issue with my MBP over the last 6 months and even more consistently within the last several weeks.
    I have searched the other posts and I think that I might be making a connection here. So, please chime in if you have anything to add to solving or addressing my problem as I think that there are others out there suffering.
    Issue in short: Waking my MBP from sleep mode or turning it on loses my connection to my WIFI that is password protected.
    Mainly when I wake my MBP from sleep mode this occurs a lot.
    I have contacted AppleCare many times and have taken my computer to the Genius guys and I have done the following:::
    Genius guys tested the computer and could not replicate. No hardware issues found, must be a software issue.
    AppleCare, done many things to reset the computer, re-installed Snow Leopard, deleted Caches and other things.
    Now, I am wondering if there is something actually due to the OS updates after 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 that is causing my issue that much more.
    I can see my wireless router as available to join, I select it, type in my password, and it states invalid password. Try to restart, reboot, and nothing. It almost appears that it loses the sync between my keychain and such.
    As of late, as I stated, the problem is more persistent now.
    What do you think? An issue with the latest updates of 10.6.5?

    I too often have a devil of a time connecting to a Linksys WiFi router with a brand-new unibody MacBook Pro 15", 2.66GHz. I noticed that if I boot the machine off an external Firewire drive this seems to be more of an issue than if I boot off the internal drive.
    I beginning to thing there's some kind of interference between the Firewire system and the WiFi system.
    The router is a Linksys with the latest firmware update. My MacBook and iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 connect to the router fine.
