WiFi w/Airport Problem

I've tested the wifi on my iPhone walking down the street and connecting to a random signal, and the speed on the web is as fast as broadband.
However, at home I can connect the iPhone to my own network, but when I check mail or use Safari, it hangs. Eventually it says, "The server stopped responding, cannot open webpage". I know I am connected by the E turning to airport icon, etc.
The signal is coming from my Mac Mini. This SAME SIGNAL/network config sends a signal to my macbook and tivo, which can surf the web just fine!
Anyone having this problem? I tried messing with the wifi settings (ip address, etc), but still it always hangs on my home network. I'm out of ideas. thnx

It might be connecting to the wrong network (maybe an open network from your neighbour). Either way, just make sure by:
Click the Home button (the only physical button at the front bottom), go to Settings > Wifi. The currently connected Wifi network has a checkmark in front of it. If not yours, select yours from the list. If you have a key protected Wifi Network (the lock symbol will be displayed next to the network name), it will ask for a passphrase or password or something of the likes.
Once entered you should be good to go.
It all works fine and great for me, and I didn't got any problems so far, so just hang in there and believe me when I say that there is a light out there at the end of the tunnel.

IOS 6.1.3 WIFI button disable problem on iPhone4S - It is definitely a BUG

Hi Apple Fans
I have a full house of Apple products from iPhone -> iPAD -> iPod -> Mac -> AirPort, and I am suffering from WIFI button disable problem after upgrade to iOS 6.1.3, without any clue after calling Apple Support, factory reset and reload iPhone for more than 10 times. I also try all tips on Apple Support Communicties except put it into a freezer, still no any luck. Apple Support suggests that my iPhone may be factly!
Tonight, I can get my WIFI back in below sequence:
1. Switch to English language from Chinese
2. Turn Cellular Data Option to off
3. Reset Network Setting
After the phone reset, the WIFI row show 'Not Connected', and I can select my home WIFI (Airport Express) without trouble. To prove my finding is workable to all case, can you try the same and update here if it works for you?
Good Luck!
PS: I always believe it is a BUG.

Hi,
I sympathise with you as my iPhone 4s is 7 months old and is also greyed out. I tried everthing except the potentially stupid one of putting the iphone in a freezer! I took the phone back to the vendor who sent it away and repaired it. But alas after a month it is greyed out again. I have again returned to the vendor and he will repair it again. I asked him how and he told me it is a software conflict and he has to spend around 9 hours downloading a patch repair. Apple are aware of this issue and I feel completely let down because they have not posted a fix on the net. Presently I am living and working in Dubai, back in the UK I am sure my iPhone would have been exchanged for a new one. I need my iPhone for my work and cannot afford to just buy a new one so I have been let down and despite for years being a supporter of Apple and their products I shall think twice before investing in any more Apple products.

A possible workaround for C2D Airport problems?

A collegue advised the other day to download iStumbler, a free application that seems to sit and monitor all connections coming in your Airport, also for Bluetooth, Bonjour, etc.
Well, I did... and ever since this thing started to work seeing my Network wifi the airport bars has returned back to the maximum level and there has been no connection drops, re-connecting flawlessly after sleep.
Its funny also how iStumbler is able to see more Network wifis than the Airport menu: I see 2, sometimes 3 connections that I never saw on the Airport menu.
The signal is reported to be at 70% with a 13% noise. But working great!
Can someone with Airport problems try this solution and see if it works too? Maybe we are into something?
Regards,
-- Carlos

I had installed istumbler a couple of days ago it did seem to improve the signal for a period then the signal dropped back to the normal 4/5 bars.
After your post I started istumbler again and found there was an update the purports to solve signal problems with core 2 Duo macs.
I have updated and have full signal strength for last 5 minutes longer than ever before.
Fingers crossed

I cant go on youtube with the wifi from airport express, its alway show that the webpage not found so I try to connect the lan to my mac ,its work. Anyone know why amd how to fix it. (only youtube and google doesnt work)

Is this an airport express problem?? Only Youtube and google doesnt work. Its not work only on wifi from airport express. I really have no idea about technical problem.

After the last upgrade, my itunes doesn't open (this happen only the first time after the start of my pc). It seems frozen.To re-open Itunes i need to terminate APS deamon every time from task manager.
What is Apple doing to solve this problema? Thank you.

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.

Airport problem on Kids account

I have a problem after reading the latest Macworld I decided to change the security settings on my airport. I changed it to WPA personal. Both my computer and the wife's iMac run fine with no airport problems.
My kids account though will not accept the airport network password. I have it written down and made sure I typed it in right everytime, but everytime I get a warning saying the password is incorrect. Yes the written password is the same as the network password.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Quack,
What computer is your kids using?
I assume you are using the same password you used on your wife's iMac after you set up the WPA Personal Security?
Also, I assume you checked the password your are using here:
Airport Admin Utility, select your Airport, select Configure, click on Password in the top menu bar.....the password for this Airport will appear.
Please respond back I would like to help further.....

We bought a time capsule then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now?

We bought a time capsule, 1TB, then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now? Does APPLE do not provide latest firmware for this item?

How old is that Time Capsule? The fact that it still have firmware 7.3.1 suggests that it's not the latest model. The latest firmware available for my two-year-old model is version 7.5.2. Apple does provide firmware updates. You just have to let the Time Capsule download and install them. Use AirPort Utility to do that.
Regarding your Wi-Fi problem, please explain what you mean by "it does not identify the existing wireless network".

ITunes 6.0.5 and Airport Problem

A short description of my recent problem is that iTunes 6.0.5 crashes my wireless connection when streaming music to my stereo via an Airport Express. The problem was repeatable and frequent. Reverting to iTunes 6.0.4 seems to make all the problems go away.
Before updating my MacBook recently to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6, and updating from iTunes 6.0.4 to 6.0.5, I updated my bootable system backup on an external Firewire drive, first repairing permissions.
After updating my MacBook, everything associated with the Airport Express seemed to function perfectly, except I had massive problems with attempting to stream music from iTunes. When first choosing in iTunes to connect to the external wireless target, music would begin playing and then my entire airport connection would dispappear within seconds. The menu bar throughput icon would go from 4 bars to nothing and my network SSID would disappear from the drop down. After toggling the airport on and off for a while, along with toggling the iTunes external/internal target control, I could eventually finagle a stable connection, which would last for maybe 15 minutes at a time. Then the connection would drop.
I happened to be one of the early 10.4.7 upgraders who used the non-combo updater, so when Apple announced that files were missing from the delta updater, I downloaded the new version and repeated the upgrade (successfully, indicated by the suffix on the new build number). Again a perfectly stable wireless connection through the 133 MB download; wireless works fine as long as iTunes is not involved.
The problem persisted after the 10.4.7 re-upgrade. I then tried booting from my external drive backup, into 10.4.6 and iTunes 6.0.4. The problem went away.
I then restored iTunes 6.0.4 from my backup to my internal drive, replacing 6.0.5. So far, everything is working perfectly again, with iTunes 6.0.4 under OS 10.4.7.
The airport problem seemed to be entirely on the MacBook side, not the Airport Express, since I never saw the Airport light change from green and the displayed connection time has stayed at x days and counting across all the times the airport connection disappeared, including when booted from the external drive.
So based on my experience, it would appear that there is a problem with iTunes 6.0.5. Anyone else see similar behavior or, conversely, can confirm that they are successfully streaming from a configuration similar to a MacBook through an Airport Express with iTunes 6.0.5 and OS 10.4.7?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just to bring closure to this thread, I am now successfully using iTunes 6.0.5 with OS 10.4.7: the problems I reported have disappeared.
Contrary to my original post, with more use I saw some drop-out problems with 6.0.4, though far less severe than with 6.0.5.
It occurred to me that maybe what I was seeing was due to the iTunes app paging, but I could find no direct evidence of that.
It then happened that I began experiencing the random shutdown problem that some MacBook users have reported (many posts in the MacBook forum). I sent in my machine for repair.
In the few days since I received the repaired machine back, I have had no random shutdowns. I also noticed I had no iTunes wireless dropouts with 6.0.4. I then re-upgraded to 6.0.5. No problems have surfaced. The only other software change at the system level I have made is to update the SMC firmware, which makes the machine run cooler.
I have no explanation and speculation seems pointless. (The shutdown repair consisted of replacing the heat sink and top case; as far as I know, no involvement with airport components.) But I'm again a happy camper.

That doesn't rule out a network issue, as it can impact devices differently. Intermittent issues are most often related to wifi issues. Try connecting via ethernet. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

AirPort Problems [I know posted already, but read]

hey guys,
These AirPort problems are really really getting on people's nerves. 10.5.1 was perfect for most, and now after updating to .2, us .1 100% connection, the connection drops every couple of minutes.
I'm on a Macbook 2.2 (White), and so I have a question.
My connection is STABLE, doesn't drop or anything when connected to the MagSafe adapter. As soon as I unplug it, I lose my connection immediately. NOW, if I want to plug my MagSafe back in, my connection won't be stable anymore until I restart my system.
Is anyone else experiencing that?
So my question is, is there some sort of power settings for Airport (on the computer, not my router) that I can modify. Cause it seems that as soon as I disconnect my power adapter, AirPort goes crazy and does whatever it feels like.
*When I OPTION+Click on the AirPort button at the top:*
*MagSafe in - Transmit Rate: 54*
*MagSafe out - Transmit Rate: All over the place, 54, 48, 36 then 1, then drop connection.*
*Sometimes it's, 54 to 1 to drop connection.*
Hopefully Apple will read this and see that it is most likely some power settings that were modified by accident. I still don't know why everyone doesn't have problems. But of course, that's not the point. Getting an AirPort solution ASAP is
C'mon Apple!

I suggest that if you want a response from Apple - you ask them.
They don't officially monitor these posts. You should be legimately able to all support on an issue like this.
I don't see this on my MacBook Pro - right now it is showing a rate of 52 and is unplugged. It was 130 early today but when plugged in and in a different room.
Likely there is some attempt being made by the system to manage the power used by the peripheral devices - but it should not drop the connection.

Macbook airport problems linked to battery power?

I too have experienced the macbook/airport problem, specifically since 10.5.8 came back. When I upgraded to 10.5.8, it was so useless that I just reinstalled tiger. Then Snow leopard came out and I upgraded only to experience the same problem but not as severe.
I have just been able to pin/point the problem today (mainly because I just grew so frustrated and spent considerable time trying to figure out). I have tried all the other potential fixes posted on here to no avail (changes airport settings, replacing card, changing dynamic IP to manual, encryption etc).
This is what I have determined and was able to reproduce it:
When macbook is running on power (plugged in):
If battery power is below 60%, connection is spotty - the lower it is, the worst the problem.
If the battery power is above 60%, no problems at all, runs fast and no drops.
When macbook power is not plugged in and running on battery:
Below 60% almost useless
Above 60% spotty and worse as the battery drains
Can anyone else test this out? I've sent Apple an e-mail.

I've gone down to maybe 15% without any noticable difference in connection.

Hp4050tn connection through airport problems

Printer: HP4050TN
Computer: iMac 27" (2010) w/ OS 10.6.8
Wireless Router: Airport Extreme
Connection: Ethernet RJ45 printer to Airport
Problem: I have had this configuration since 5/2010, and a week ago for some reason the iMac would not connect with the printer. I have tried all the combinations I can think of, with reboots and restarts, to no avail. I have also tried a direct connection via ethernet to the iMac, but the print menu returns the same error, "Unable to connect to printer".
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Wifi connection AirPort Extreme with IP-camera

I can't establish wifi connection Airport Extreme with IP-camera. At the same time cable connection is fine, but wifi not.
Please, give me an advise.

You need to create a wireless network on the AirPort Extreme, and then you probably will want to assign a compatible static LAN IP address to the camera so that you can port-forward from the router to the camera.

I'm connected to the wifi at home but no internet access. i was surfing on the same wifi without any problems. and also this issue is for other wifi network.

hello everyone.
i was surfing browsing and downloading on my iphone 4 on my home wifi and other places without any problem but today i found out that even though i'm connected to my wifi i got no internet access. i also got this new problem, my led flash is on. if i tilt the device the flas dims a bit. i tried switching off the device but still the flash is on. i tried using at other wifi network same problem. i tried forget this network, switching off and turning on the device i also tried reseting the network and also hard reseting the device. but still same problem. what can i do about this? and if i send it to apple what are my options? i got warrant coverage so will they be able to repair it ? if they are not able to repair then will they give me new iphone 4 or refurbished iphone 4 for replacement?

Apple does not repair devices. If they are covered under warranty, the device is replaced. You will not get a new phone, you will get a service unit which is as good as if not better than new.
If all the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide has been done and the device does not get Internet access via Wi-Fi from multiple locations, the only thing left is to take it to Apple.
