Will not connect to wi-fi automatically

I have a netgear router, laptops connect every time no problems but we have 2 iPhone 3GS's and an iPad and iPad2 and I have to reset my router (unplug it and plug back in) every time to get the iPhone's and iPads to connect. Even though all have been connected before. Our Wii is the same way, what have I got wrong on my router netgear WNR1000

If you can't get those devices (Wii, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS) to work after this it might be time for a new router.

After reboot, iMac will not connect to wi-fi automatically

I very recently purchased iMac 27" with Intel i5. The issue is the wi-fi disconnects after rebooting the cpu. It doesn't connect automatically to the internet. It sees the router but I have to select it to connect. Although there is no need for me to re-enter the SSID password, it is a small inconvenience but I do not have to do this step for my other devices, like iPad, PC, etc. The wi-fi is there after waking up from "sleep" mode, so no issue here. I am currently using the OS X Lion. I also purchased the Mountain Lion but balked to install it yet because I read some reviews about it that it slows down some MacBooks (with retina). Could Mountain Lion have solved this wi-fi issue? Or should I take the iMac back to the store and let them fix it for me?

ML has caused more of this problem I believe.
Hi, this has worked for a few...

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

If not take it back.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Iphone 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?

If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement. If not you're stuffed. It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone. You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there. It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!! That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!!

HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable. I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99% installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out. I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
1. Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
2. Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up? Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ? I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase. What to do if so?
3. Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation? If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

Hi @Marvalina1968,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
First to answer your questions:
It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
Please take a look through the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

Second ereader will not connect

I have two ereaders a T1 and T2. I've had the T1 for a long time and when I connect to my PC, the PC Readers SW will launch automatically and I can sync books to the ereader. When I connect the T2 it maps another drive but will not connect with the PC Sony Reader application. How do I sync books to the second, T2, ereader?
Thanks

Good afternoon rtulloch.
I am very sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Sony Reader PRST2. We have some troubleshooting steps that you can try to solve this issue, first we are going to try a soft reset and if that doesn't fix the issue, you will need to perform a hard reset, but if you do the hard reset, everything will be deleted and the Reader will go back to factory settings.
Soft reset: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31629/p/73878,73889,73893/c/65,66/

Mac will not connect to internet

Hello I have two macs that will not connect to my time capsule's internet. I know it is not the TC because I have a pc that is right next to it with the same settings as the mac and can connect to the internet. I wonder what the issue is.

Go to the System Preferences and Network and when the Box opens make sure that you are set to Automatic and below that the name of your Network is in there and finally in the box on the left that Wireless or Airport is selected and Drag it to the top of the list and the Green Dot is on the Wireless Network that is selected.
Then repeat it on both computers.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My 6 day old touch will not connect to wifi .

My 5 day old touch will not connect to wifi. I have reset everything. Tried different networks. I am willing to do a full restore but because I have no internet I can't turn "find my ipod off"
It worked when I first opened it then it kept disconnecting. I reset "all network setting" and rebooted my router and it would connect. Now it will not connect at all
On my ipod it finds the network and when I try to put in password it say "incorrect password"

Then restore the iPod using the following
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Iphone will not connect to icloud.

iphone will not connect to icloud. I get a verification failed box that says The connection to icloud timed out. I am connected to wifi. My photo stream on my pc hasn't updated for months. The last time anything was uploaded to my photo stream on my computer was back in mid August. I don't know what to do. My photo stream on both the PC and my iphone is set to automatic. My photos should transfer over when there is a wifi connection. I'm not sure what is going on. I have tried turning the photo stream on and off on both my pc and iphone to try to reset it. I have changed the destination folder for my photo stream hoping that my photos will repopulate. Nothing has worked. When I go to my settings and icloud, my iphone just will not connect. I constantly get a verification failed box. I don't know what is going on. I'm extremely frustrated. My iphone 5 has been updated to to ios 8.1 and my PC has icloud 4.0.

You don't have too many devices. You should be able to connect to icloud as long as you go to Settings>iCloud and sign in using the correct ID and password - are you absolutely sure you are using the right ones???

My ipad will not connect to the hot spot on my new iphone

My ipad will not connect to my hotspot on my new phone and I do not know how to delete the old phone? Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks

Did you look in the date and time settings at all? Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. There are a nmber of users reporting issues with the app store and iTunes connection problems in the last couple of days. I'm starting to wonder it it an Apple server issue but I am having no problems at all.

DHCP disappeared and Mac will not connect to internet!

When my Macbook's config is switched to DHCP the Airport Express will not connect to the internet but when it is PPPOE it has not problem at connecting. I never had this problem before but now I am worried and want my DHCP back because it is interfering with other configurations.
