Wifi connectio

Thank you for trying to help re my iPad Wifi connection dropping out...but it did not help...
My modem has been set up I July ....it has 4 connection points that is all I know .My question is
why I have problem off dropping out (Wifi) just with iPad 2 ? My lap top is fine so is my husbend
tablet? My  iPad 2 is new that is I got it when iPad 3 was launched ...but there is always same
Problem....

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.

  • TC in combination with mac mini and WIFI

    Hello,
    I am living in an apparment with provided internet - it used to be a cable modem. Now cable modem was deactivated by the owner and free WIFI was established in our house (but limited to three devices)
    I connected my mac mini to the existing WIFI - no prob! Is is possible to create another WIFI with TC using cable connection between mach mini and TC?
    If yes, please let me know how to set up the mac and TC.
    Thanks!

    What is this wifi for?
    I have more than three devices which need WIFI connectio, unfortunatel!
    If it is just to connect to the TC it is possible.. if you want to connect to the TC from the mini that is fine.. you do not need wifi for this.. just ethernet to the TC is fine.. so I just don't know what the wifi from the TC is for and if it requires internet access.
    If you want internet access via the Mac, you can setup Internet Connection Sharing..
    See OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
    It is a really poor setup though.. and tends to be unreliable, slow and means anytime the mini is off no internet to the other clients.
    There are better ways to do things.
    Put any wireless bridge, in front of the TC and use that to provide a wired connection. Apple Express can do this.. none of the other devices can. but wireless bridges are not hard to find and you can get cheaper ones than the apple.
    This is what I tried, thanks to your recommondation! I connected the AirportExpress with the given WIFI and I've connected it to the TC via LAN cable, the TC now provides my own WIFI to all devices. But the mac mini, as well connected by cable to the TC does not have Internet access. To log on to the given WIFI I have to use a web-login (like in a hotel) but I have the impression that it doesn't work because of the hardware I have now connected. If you have any suggestions to this I would really appreciate it!
    You will however not get out of the problem without creating more problems.. Internet access will be slowed and you will have double NAT issues.
    I set the TC to bridge, no Double-NAT anymore.
    Thanks for now, 75% achieved!

  • Iphone 5 wifi

    Hi
    ive got iphone 5 and keep loseing wifi connectio upstairs. i know it not my internet setting because ive got 2 ipods 4g for my children and they work fine.
    Any help would be great

    You can solve your wifi issues pretty easily.
    1) Go into Settings
    2)  Go into WiFi
    3)  Tap the blue arrow next to the wifi network you prefer to access
    4)  You will see various numbers and settings listed.  Take a screen shot to capture that information for future reference if you need to reenter it later by simultaneously pressing the on/off button and the circle button.  The screen shot will save to your Camera Roll.
    5) Delete the numbers to the right of DSN.  Enter 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.  One of those should fix both wifi connectivity and download speed.
    6)  If this does not work, reenter the original DSN numbers you captured with the screen shot and set up a Genius Bar appointment.
    Good luck!  I did this fix and have had no problems with dropped signals and blazing fast speeds.  The 8.8.8.8 works best with my network.

  • Lenovo V560 drops wifi connection - cannot restore without reboot

    Hello,
    First off let me say that I'm  earning a BS in Computer Science, so I know more than most when it comes to computers, yet this issue vexes me.  I only say that so that any replies understand that my level of technical comprehension is far above average.
    The title pretty much says it all, I have a 6month old Lenovo Ideapad V560 that cannot maintain an internet connection.  Let me describe the problem in a little more detail:
    PROBLEM:
    This computer can connect to any wifi, and seems to drop the connection fairly randomly, however it will drop the connection FASTER when I'm more active, such as loading multiple web pages simultaneously.  That said, it ALWAYS drops the connection during a session, and NOTHING I do can restore the connectivity apart from rebooting.
    This issue has nothing to do with the router, as it happens on every wifi connection I've ever connected to, school, home, work, McDonalds, etc.
    I've already extensively researched the issue, so please don't reply and just start linking me to related threads, I've read them, they weren't helpful.
    I've done a few things already in an effort to resolve the issue, such as:
    1) Re-installing Windows 7 Pro x64
    2) Re-installing wifi driver
    3) Disassembling the machine, removing and reinstalling the wifi Card
    4) Disabling "Allow computer to turn device off" power management settings for wifi card and miniport (all network devices, actually)
    5) Removing all Lenovo "bloatware"
    Again, it is not a connection specific issue, it doens't matter how the connectio is configured, it seems indepedant of that. 
    Any help anyone can offer would be helpful!

    On topic: I have the same issue with Lenovo B560 (factory installed WiFi adapter: GTC BCM4313 M).
    In the same time and the same WiFi network my old Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 works perfectly.
    Is there any way to make this Broadcom (or GTC?) adapter work uninterruptable?
    Currently it requires to reboot or hibernate and power on again to revive adapter.
    Off topic: yesterday instead of my message about the same issue posted I have seen the following error:
    Please correct the highlighted errors and try again.
    Post flooding detected (community got posts of a unique message more than 1 times within 3,600 seconds)

  • "Find my Ipod" works without a WIFI connection?

    Ok i heard that the "find my iphone" feature works for ipod touch.  Will it work regardless of a wifi connection?

    Michael Black wrote:
    Those who say it works without an active data connectio are either misinformed, nuts or hallucinating
    ...or they read this Apple site, linked in an above post:  http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/find-my-ipodtouch.html  While it does not explicitly say that it works without a connection, nowhere on the page does it say that you need one.  The implication is that it always works, as opposed to the stars have to be correctly aligned for it to work.  This is one way in which the misinformation is spread.

  • Cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI

    I cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI.
    I thought it was the SMTP server first.. but when i config my WIFI, suddenly the emails that i tried to send, left my outbox and sent.
    Any idea's

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

    Hi Peter,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that you are trying to use the new HP AiO Remote app for Windows phones to print to your Photosmart 7150 printer.
    The Photosmart 7150 printer only supports USB connectivity, I have include the Photosmart 7150 Printer Specifications for reference.  To be able to use the HP AiO Remote app the printer needs to be connected to a wireless network. 
    If you accidentally typed the incorrect printer model, please let me know which make/model/product number of HP printer that you have. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

  • Google Play on Tablet works on WIFI not Verizon network.

    I have an Motorola Ellipsis Tablet. I am unable to use Google Player. When I open the app, I get "Background data disable. Google play store needs background data to be enabled." I hit enable and It asks me to choose either Facebook or Gmail. I choose my email account and it tries to sync and I get the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Everything works fine when I am on WIFI at home but when I get to work and I'm on the Verizon network it won't work. I can't use Pandora or look at video. Can someone help me figure out why it is not working on the Verizon network? Thanks.

        Hi Mollie88,
    Oh my! Let's get you back to enjoying your device. Some applications depend upon background data (transferring data when not directly in use). Restricting background data may cause those apps to stop functioning unless a Wi-Fi connection is available. To uncheck Restrict background data in the Google Play application,  follow the directions in the link  http://vz.to/1f5KM7b .

  • Loss of sending email using WIFI

    As of this morning 8-20-08, after updating to 2.02, I no longer am able to send emails using my own wireless network. Previously this was no problem. Neither Fido or Apple have any idea of what I am talking about. Fido washed their hands as they do not support WIFI. How convenient, they sell the phone and charge for the service but do not support it. Videotron, my ISP, thinks the issue is my wireless router but I can send via gmail so that's out. I resovled the problem by configuring my accounts to use my gmail smtp server as a second option and now the spinning wheel is short lived and messages are sent.
    I'm sorry to say that I had fallen for all the hype about Apple but truth is they are but a Microsoft wannabe.
    Disinchanted

    So here's the wierd thing.
    I was having the same problems. Set up SMTP for Videotron when at home using relais.videotron.ca SMTP with no authenticationon port 25 & all was good in the world. However when I went out, bang. Nothing. Couldn't send a mail for love nor money.
    Thought aboutit & changed settings to use relais.videotron.ca SMTP, but this time using authentication of vltl** / password credentials with no SSL (Videotron doesn't use SSL) and again everything was fine. Of course, when I got home again, bang. Everything fell over & no more mail sending foe me!
    So I figure, when I'm at home I'm on my trusted network at port 25, I don't need authentication and all is good, but when I'm out i'm seen as potential SPAM by port 25 on videotron & get blocked.
    Tried using port 587 instead when for both home & mobile but had no luck either.
    Then a strange thing happened. I'd resolved to having to set up 2 SMTP servers on my iPhone & switching between the two based on where I was. Pain in the a**, but there's always a trade off for early adopter technology So I set up my primary SMTP to use port 25 with no authentication, and a secondary server to use the same relais.videotron.ca outgoing server, but this time WITH authentication using vltl** \ password credentials.
    After a walk to the shop when I'd been on my secondary SMTP server (successfully sending & recieving) I came home & inadvertantly forgot to swith back to my primary SMTP. Recieved a mail & then responded with no problem!
    Net result, I now have a permanently switced off primary server & a permanently switched on secondary server which uses relais.videotron.ca details with vltl** \ password authentication credentials active (like I did on my old silver iPhone) & all is good in the world, both at home & out mobile, both for sending & recieving!
    Will field test some more tomorrow but it may be a 2.0.2 bug where ther primary server details fcuk up whereas the secondary server details are stable.
    So long as it works, who cares!

  • No wifi on 4s

    My daughter's iPhone 4S rec'd as Christmas present last year and updated to iOS 7.04 has no wifi access, Bluetooth does not start (spinning wheel), and wifi address listed as N/A. Have tried resetting network settings, airplane mode is off, restarted phone. All to no avail. What are my options if any?

    When a major update occurs like going from iOS 5 the iOS 6 or iOS 6 to 7 it can bring out an underlying hardware issue.
    Using the link below will allow you to see if her device is still covered by it's limited warranty or AppleCare.
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it is still covered by Apple and there is a hardward issue, great! Service can be set up right away.
    If repair service is needed and it's not covered by Apple check to see if you purchased third party insurance/protection plan.
    An out of warranty repair for an iPhone 4S in the US is $199 plus tax. It can be set up at an Apple Store (apple.com/retail), by speaking with an AppleCare advisor over the phone (http://support.apple.com/kb/he57), or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider (locate.apple.com)

  • Issues with iMessage when switching data carrier (wifi - cellular)

    So I have had this issue with my 5S and now my 6+ in iMessage. Not *always* but often enough I've run into issues sending messages via iMessage when I associate with wifi in that they don't send. I'll get an error message saying "not delivered" and it will stack as many outgoing messages I try to send. However, if I force the first message to send as text, subsequent messages will go through afterwards without issue. If I go from wifi to cellular I have no issues whatsoever and when I have these issues on wifi, my data works fine (incoming emails, Facebook notifications, etc.). I used to run cellular data only because I had unlimited but now I have a cap so I intend on using wifi when possible...but to have to send my first message as a text just so I can use iMessage is annoying...

    Hi there BigDogg795,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage found in the article below. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
