Wifi not working on BT Home wireless network

Can anyone help? I have contacted Apple, who suggested the problem lies with BT. I have contacted BT - surprise, surprise, the problem lies with apple! I have a BT wireless broadband that works fine with my home computer. My iphone, which works in all other respects, can't get on to this network. It recognises that the network exists, I can "join" it, and the wifi symbol appears at the top of the iphone screen, but when I try to access the internet it either reverts to Edge (if there is sufficient signal) or a "can't find server" error message appears.
In "settings" the ip address begins "169", which I believe is wrong, but can't see how to fix it.
Many thanks

ok jpaddle i think i might have solved it.
the password you need to use is not any of the passwords that you normally use to access the internet from your home computer. rather, the password you use is one of the "wireless key" numbers which are printed on the back of the white plastic HomeHub box.
but first you will have to reset the password settings on your iphone. this is how to do it.
1. on your iPhone, go into "settings". then go into "wi-fi". with "wi-fi" switched on, choose the network that you want to join [ie your BT Homehub]. press the blue arrow directly on the right hand side of your chosen network. this will take you into the settings of your chosen network. press "forget this network".
you have now reset the password settings for this network.
2. go back to the screen where you can choose your network. choose your BTHomeHub network again. it will ask for your password [again].
3. the password that you should enter is the "Wireless Key" serial number [a set of letters and numbers] of "BT HomeHub Wireless Settings" - this password is printed in a grey area on the back of the white plastic Homehub Box.
ie you do not enter the password that you normally use to access the HomeHub settings as an administrator,
you do not enter the password that your wireless home computer normally uses to access the internet via the Homehub, and
you do not use the "wireless key" in "BT Fusion Settings" [which is also on the back of the Homehub plastic box but in a white square...]

  • Can't get two same printers (MG5420) work on same home wireless network

    I bought another MG5420 this week and tried to setup it on my home wireless network.  It is on wireless network.  However, canon printing utility seems couldn't find it and it always go to the original one(old).  How do I make both of them work on the same time?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Solved!

    Canon Support,
    Thanks for your quick response. I am using Windows 7 and canon printing utility was newly installed on this pc.  If I connect this printer to the PC with USB cable, it works fine(of course). I used printer panel to setup wireless connection through WPS and it seems fine(wireless connection signal on the printer is solid blue). If you need any more details, please let know.  Thanks,.

  • Firefox worked on my laptop in UK, but here in USA, it does not work on my Brighthouse Wireless Network, but Internet explorer does. What setting do I ned to change?

    As above, I have also tried downloading a later version, also tried downloading Google Chrome, none work. I have tried using my laptop at several different wifi connections in USA and Firefox does not work on any. So it is not a wifi set up problem in our home in USA. I am running X.P and I.E 6. When I downloaded I.E 8 that would not work either, so I had to re set the laptop back to a date a week ago.
    Unable to access certain bank sites with I.E 6, that is why I use Firefox. Any suggestions appreciated.

  • Strange - Home wireless network ok, no access Public networks

    Ok, I'm not getting this, and I've been around computers for some time.
    Got my B570 'round September last year. Worked great on home wireless network ( Brighthouse networks in Florida, with Ubee Wireless modem running Lightning or 40mb.)
    Had to move to new place offering a house offering of wifi, had a bear getting that up, but finally did.
    Here's the q, and I've seen this on an HP laptop running Vista, but that one died and I got this one.
    Go to Starbucks, Panera's, Dennys or just about any other public place, and I can see the routers and even connect, but can't get anywhere on the internet. I get either a limited or no internet, or identifying, but that's it. I know that their router is working because i can make the wifi connection on my phone and browse no problem, and I see other patrons with different computers logged in at the same time.
    McDonalds, I can get in, and soon as the network connection comes up, browser will pop up and allow me to accept McD's access rights page and I can connect. I know that Denny's has one too, but it doesnt pop up, and ( I know that this will sometimes happen too ) if I try to connect to a website, sometimes the local accept page will pop up, but usually not for me.
    I have Google Chrome as my primary web browser, but even if I try to bring up via IE, no go.
    I can connect to the internet via my droid phone usb wired or just wireless, but don't like that to be a regular solution.
    I've already tried to update the wireless driver ( Broadcomm ), but computer tells me that i'm up to date. Enabled then re enabled. Flush DNS didn't help either, ipconfig / release and renew didn't do it either. Using Comodo Internet Security, and turned it off, even exited out of program and that didn't help either.
    Today was an interesting day. went to Denny's thinking I'd get some work done, and couldn't get logged in. Went to Fedex Store to get some printing done, and logged in right away. Came home and can log into the communities public ( fee based ) network and can log right in. Looked in my bag and found a usb wifi dongle I had used for the HP when the wifi on it died out, but didn't try that yet. I'd rather not, I'd rather find out why the wifi on this laptop seems to be finiky with who's networks I'm using.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    hi Ronjie,
    The issue you're facing is a very strange issue. From what i gather ist begging to choose the network it wants to work with. I may need more time to look inot his to see if it is a harware issue. But i would like to try something though. You may want to uncheck the IPV6 in ur Wireless network properties. 
    To do that you will have to go to your "Network sharing centre" > Click on "Change adapter settings"  on the left hand panel > Highlight "Wireless network Connection" > Right Click "Wireless network Connection" and select on "Properties". Be sure to uncheck the "Internet protocol version 6 (TCP/IPV6)". Then click on and try to reconnect.
    Let me know how it goes..

  • New Airport Express - interfering with home wireless network?

    I have an IMac and laptop PC both connected to a wireless home network. I plugged in the new Airport Express, and ran a Toslink cable to my home stereo. My intent is to stream music from the IMac.
    When I plug in the AExp I get a flashing amber, then the green light, then flashing amber. I asked the AExp to "join" my network. Soon after the first green light the home wireless connection is unavailable to both my IMac and PC laptop. If I unplug the AExp then the laptop PC reconnects to the network. With the AExp unplugged I also must have "Turn On AirPort" on the IMac to have the internet status as "connected".
    Basic problem: when I plug in the AExp both home computers disconnect from the home wireless network.
    Any suggestions to getting the AExp to work within the home wireless network?

    First, perform a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    Then take a look at the following steps to be sure that nothing was missed:
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing wireless network name>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > Music
    Enable AirTunes (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter the desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings ot the AX

  • Setting up HP Officejet 6500A; not sure how to connect to web w/ home wireless network

    I have a small home wireless network.  I set the printer up today but it says that I must connect to the internet (fax part is working).  The only desktop I have, I keep off most the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to this).
    Is there a way to connect the printer directly to my router?  They are only a few feet from one another; however, I have no clue how to do it and the instructions manual didn't tell me much.  Do I need a phone line?  What would I use to connect the two?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even Target will have them.
    Plug it into the back of the printer and router.  You should be able to add the printer to your laptop.  Let me know what operating system you have and I can help.

  • I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link - 601 tech. 802.11n. My eMac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both.  Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
    To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:

  • MacBook Pro only can't find home wireless network

    Hey guys!
    I purchased a 15" retina MacBook Pro by July. It brought Mac OS X Lion with it: I had no problems.
    However, more than a month later I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and I started to have the same problem ALWAYS: sometimes I would be connected to my home wireless network, perfectly fine. However, after shutting down, sleeping, etc, whenever I would turn the Mac on again, it wouldn't find my home network wireless anymore, but it would find e.v.e.r.y and other network available. Also, my phone, iPad, and every other equipment, would find it and work perfectly. After several restarts and wake ups from sleeps, the Mac would eventually magically find it and stay connected for an unpredictable amount of times (sometimes it could find it continuously for some days after some sleeps, and sometimes it wouldn't be found again after some hours of it being found again (assuming the computer went to sleep)). But if I try any other of the available networks it connects with no issue!
    And I've been in this game constantly! I've tried (almost) all the Mountain Lion wifi-related posts in the Internet, but none seems to solve it.
    I have only found a few posts with my related issue, which I recall: the Mac won't find, ONLY, my home network, while any other equipment can, and it can magically find it occasionally, lasting its connection until the next sleep or shut down.
    Help would be really appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Juan

    Hum, good point, the problem may lay with the router compability. My sister, who has ML as original OS has been having the same problem of not finding only our home network, so it seems that the problem lies on Mountain Lion compatibility with the router. I just restarted the router several times and we both got internet at the same time. The question is, as always, how long will it last until it won't find it again.
    Now, focusing on the router.
    Here, in Portugal (as for the rest of the world I don't know), the Internet provider companeis offer their own modems. Not only that, as those modems are both: modems and routers ( http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/149/ofibrasjaestaabombar.jpg ).
    After writting the above, and re-reading what you said, you lighted me up the idea of entering the modem domain (you know, that url you put and have access to every definiton of the router?)
    Well, the password "type" was selected to "WPA and WPA2". What I did was selecting "WPA2" only. So far it seems that it is working. I'll do some restart tests etc etc and I'll let you know! (Maybe the problem may persist, but I'll only know days from know as it may seem, for know, that it is solved.)
    I'll let you know, and thanks for the help so far, Sig!

  • Home wireless network trouble

    I got a new wireless router, Netgear WPN824 from Newegg, a refurbished product. I set up a home wireless network using the online manual on the Netgear website. The router works well for the wired setup. But I could not connect to wireless.
    My wireless network shows up on the list of available wireless networks. I can connect to other wireless networks such as that of my neighbour's. I tried connecting to my network using both unsecured and secure WEP / WPA modes. Except once, I could never connect. That one time, as soon as I could connect and verify that I was indeed connected I thought the problem was resolved and so shutdown my system to see if i could connect again - alas, same trouble again. I use NetworkManager to connect, and here's the output for two networks - jaydoc which is my home network, and linksys, that of my neighbour's to which i can always connect.

    Is the wireless router i got a dud, being refurbished i took my chances and maybe i wasn't so lucky..! Or is it something wrong in my network settings..? I tried shutting down everything and then turning the modem, then the router and finally the PC without the ethernet cable connected. Still I am unable to connect.
    Any help is deeply appreciated. I am a total newbie in networking...!

    that is what my router status is at the moment. and I am able to connect to the wired network using the router. However I still cannot connect wireless. I did not see any settings in the wireless settings page of the router that ask for DHCP server names/addresses. This is the current logfile output

    So if its still a DHCP problem, it seems to be affecting only the wireless part. How can I make wireless use the same DHCP servers as the wired..? Or is there something else wrong here..?

  • MacBook Pro Can't find home wireless network

    I've been having some issues getting my macbook pro, running OS 10.7.5, to find my home wireless network. The network doesn't show up when it searches automatically, and when I type the network name in to find it manually, it says no network found. The computer connects to all other networks and finds then with no issues, and other MacBooks are able to find my home network and connect to it again with no issues.
    The computer used to be able to find the network, and then it just stopped working. I have tried all the standard fixes, resetting the router, computer, PRAM, forgetting the network, deleting the key from keychain, but nothing seems to work. I tried googling the issue, but wasn't able to find a problem similar to the one I have.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Still having problems with this.
    I have upgraded to Mavericks, hoping that the problem would be fixed, but it hasn't. I still get all networks completely disappearing - even if I search for them they are not found.
    But I reboot the computer and it works! But when I am in OS or Bootcamp mode and put the Mac to sleep, it does not see the networks again! I have to reboot the computer for it to work.
    I have even got a new router which can receive the b,g and n signals etc. as I was told by a Mac techie here that Macs 'look' for the n signal but can also work with the b and g signals and THAT maybe my old router only transmits b and g or something like that .
    This, to me, sounds like a Mac software problem. I had a similar problem on a previous Mac on my "old router" and a totally different router in a different country's telephone system.
    I now have the same problem with a new MBP on a new router!
