Wired internet works fine, wifi does not work at all...

I can't connect to my home wi-fi network (connection is fine when using ethernet). I've confirmed the password to my network is correct, and I've tried to reconfigure the airport connection to no avail. I've tried DHCP, DHCP with manual address, and manually--even tried turning DHCP off. When I tried just DHCP, I also tried to renew the DHCP lease, which didn't help. I'm stymied, and starting to wonder about the wireless network card.
I can connect fine with my laptop (MacBook Pro). The wireless router is about 3 feet from my desktop computer, so I'm pretty sure there are no reception issues.
Do you have any ideas for me?

Hi BDA,
I turned off the security in the router, and Airport worked just fine. So that's good, I guess the Airport card is healthy.
Then I turned the security back on to WPA in the router and can't log in. I rebooted (the Mac) and tried to turn on Airport, but the prompt which asks for a password will not accept the password. So I thought maybe it needed to be put back into the keychain (I am not very familiar with how the keychain works, it seems to be kind of automatic?). Anyway, I can't seem to enter the password into the keychain.
I did try WEP in the router, in case the airport card is so old it doesn't recognize WPA or WPA personal. That didn't do anything either.
Do you have any thoughts? I figured that turning off the security in the router is as good as rebooting as Ralph suggested.
Thanks for your time.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

    I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
    Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
    None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
    Here are the details:
    In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
    Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
    Restart the device
    Reset network settings
    Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
    When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
    Note:
    The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
    Solutions:
    Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
    Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
    I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
    Conclusion:
    I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
    I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
    Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?

    I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
    My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
    This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
    Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

  • Mavericks static ip doesn't on wifi does not work

    MBA 2011
    MAC OS 10.9.4
    Wifi does not work with a static IP address.
    My wifi access point does not have DHCP enabled, and there is no DHCP server on my network. The internet connection is NOT coming my wifi router.
    Every machine on the network has a static ip address and manually configured DNS and GATEWAY to my correct gateway IP. This currently is working on this machine (windows 7), my ipad 2, my xperia phone, my windows xp box, my vista box, and even a virtual pc running windows server which is on my mac.
    But the mac won't connect to the internet, or ping anything including the gateway ip address or any other machine on the ip address.
    how can i get this mac to have a static ip address without having dhcp

    Going to System Preferences -> Network, and selecting Wi-Fi in the left pane.... Questions:
    . does the Status in the right pane show connected?
    . if so, does the Network Name: reflect the name of the network you assume it should be connected to?
    . if so, clicking on the Advanced... button and choosing the TCP/IP tab:
        . is the Configure IPv4 pulldown set to Manuallyh?
        . if so, have you entered in a valid router value (to mirror what you have set on the other working devices), and an IP address which you know is not already in use on the network?
        . if so, when you Ok out of this sheet panel, if you run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and in that window type "ifconfig" can you find a configured network device with the address information you've entered (likely either en0 or en1)?
    If all as anticipated by here:
    . what message do you see in the terminal window when you do a ping to the access point's address?
    . are you super-sure that address isn't already in use on the network (e.g on a device already on the network successfully and with your MBA's wifi turned off, try pinging the thought-to-be-free address to see if something answers back).

  • After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2, macbook air Wifi does not work. What to do?

    I upgraded from Maverick  to Yosemite in Nov 2014 & my mack book air 2011 model became slow. Yesterday after downloading & updating 10.10.2,  Wifi does not work, it prompted Gatway Time out. Anybody can help please? Dr. Mostafa

    Moreover I am to add, in the same network, windows PC Wifi works & more interestingly Macbook with Maverick also connects with the same Wifi, I mean to say this is the problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. Before updating on Sunday last, my Wifi was working nicely.

  • IPhone 4s: Slide wifi is not selectable. Always gray and wifi does not work!

    i have Slide wifi is not selectable iPhone 4s. Always gray and wifi does not work.
    Help me!

    You most likely have a failure of the WiFi chip.
    Restore the phone as a new device.  If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for replacement.  If you are not within the warranty period, expect to pay $199 for out of warranty replacement.

  • Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

    Hi
    Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
    Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
    What is the solution for this problem?
    Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
    SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

    Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    If it does, the issue is with your network.
    If it does not the issue is with the device.
