TS3274 My iPad wont connect to my network!

My iPad wont connect to my network! It's done this before and I don't know why! Is there an easy way of restoring it without having to go back to factory settings?

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

T42P Wireless Stopped Working - can't aquire network address

Hi,
I have a T42P which has run wireless for years with no problems. All of a sudden it stopped working. It has a very good signal strength but hangs when "acquiring a network address"
I have updated the driver for the Intel PRO LAN 2100 3B to 1.2.5.37. I am running XP SP3.
I have 3 other wifi devices that connect to the network without any issues
Any help gratefully received
thx

This worked for me, quoting from an earlier post of mine. My T60 was stuck in perpetually "acquiring network address" (wired or wireless) If that is your problem try this:
I think I may have found the fix. According to microsoft the problem can arise when winsock gets corrupted, either as part of a service pack upgrade or when NORTON is uninstalled.
The fix can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259#FixItForMeAlways
on that page you will find a section titled "fix irtfor me" This will rewrite your winsock file. So far it seems to have worked
Cross you fingers.
You can see if this is the problem by going
control panel
adminstrative tools
component services
services local
and then manually start DHCP CLIENT (and if needed) WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION
You should be ablre to connect then

WRT54G - cannot acquire network address

Hi All,
I having a particularly difficult problem I have not been able to solve. I've searched linksys forums, compaq forums, and google in general. Here are the particulars:
EQUIPMENT:
Linksys WRT54G Ver 3 router
Compaq Presario V2000 laptop
with Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN (built-in)
PROBLEM:
When attempting to connect wireless to the 54G v3, an IP is never successfully acquired from the DHCP. It fails during the "acquiring network address" phase, and returns with "limited or no connectivity". IP acquisition failure is confirmed with an IPconfig address of 169.254.x.x (APIPA).
CONFIGURATION:
1. this is a new installation (laptop & router are clean, out-of-box)
2. Vanilla parameters on WRT54G (no security, etc.)
3. Upgrade firmware (on 54G), run factory reset to default parameters, assigned a SSID = sully
THINGS TRIED:
1. Compaq works FINE when connected wireless to another router (54G ver 2).
2. A different laptop (Dell) works fine with the Ver 3 router (wireless).
3. Wired connection works fine with Compaq to Ver 3 router.
4. Upgraded firmware on 54G ver 3 to current.
5. Download & re-install broadcom drivers from Compaq (which are actually OLDER than the ones originally on the machine)
6. Tried adjusting beacon, fragmentation & RTS as per a posting elswhere on this site.
7. Tried MS patch KB884020, as per a posting elsewhere on this site (and have since backed it out).
8. Tried resetting the TCP/IP stack as per MS KB299357 & KB811259.
I'm stumped and apparently so are all the standard tech support channels.
Any Ideas?
PLEASE (I don't mean to be arrogant - just frustrated with inadequate/incompetent support) - don't send me the "canned" newbie "try this" responses. EVERYTHING has been tried and this simply makes no sense. I appears to me to be a problem specific to compaq/broadcom & linksys 54G ver3 and no one wants to take ownership of the problem.

I have exactly the same problem with same laptop Compaq Presario V2000 with the same network adapter, although I'm using a different router BEFW11S4. I was able to get connection by using an static IP and DNS address, however I can't go online. Tech support hasn't been able to help me so I wanted to know if you were able to get a solution to your problem.
By the way, I can use my laptop with a Netgear router and I don't get this problem.
Thanks

Having issues with WRT54GS router acquiring network address after wireless connection.

I've been experiencing problems acquiring a network address after making a wireless connection with the WRT54GS wireless router. I have a Comcast cable modem connected to the internet port of the router and after configuring the SSID and the 64 bit WEP key, I can connect to my router's SSID, but since I can't get an IP address, never connect to the Internet. I've already cloned the laptop's mac address to no avail. Even after configuring a static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, still cannot connect. I can Ping and Traceroute from the router but not the PC. I can ping localhost and host IP address from the laptop but not the default gateway. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, SJ

Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Try to access the internet when you connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Status page. Check the Internet IP address on the status page of the router.
If you are able to access the Internet with the Wired connection to the router then try to create a new wireless network on your router.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Change the wireless network name SSID and change the channel to 11. Save the settings. Go to Wireless security sub tab and check the wireless security settings. Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Try to connect to the new wireless network and see if that works.
How many wired and wireless computers do you have in the network?

Windows XP failing to acquire network address whether wired or wireless

Hi guys,
I initially asked this question elsewhere because it was happening in OSX as well, though now that the OSX side of things has been fixed it is purely a Windows XP problem, and is a different problem to the one in Mac OSX.
The problem seems simple enough, in that Windows XP just refuses to acquire a network address when connecting to the internet whether wired or wirelessly. I spent the best part of 7 hours on this on Monday, and after trawling through countless web pages I seemed to establish that there was an error with the AFD Driver (which, as I understand, is one of three required for the DHCP Client service to run). I was on the verge of probably doing something monumentally stupid and trying to repair/replace that driver when in a moment of genius (which should have arrived significantly sooner in the day) I asked my fiancee when the last time was that she could remember the internet working properly. She said it was the day before just after she agreed to install SP3, but the installation failed. So I used System Restore and rolled the system back to before that point, et voila. Everything was fine.
Not appreciating the path taken to fix her iMac, my fiancee then tried to install SP3 again and the same problem reoccurred. Another System Restore fixed it. The problem now is that on startup Windows XP seems to revert back to the same state, and will refuse to acquire an IP address. A System Restore back to the same time will fix it. However, whilst this takes little longer than an actual startup, I was wondering whether or not anybody had any bright ideas for a permanent fix to this problem.
All ideas, solutions and pearls of wisdom welcomes with open arms.

Try using a system that is able to connect to the internet in Windows. Then go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2FCDE6CE-B5FB-4488-8 C50-FE22559D164E and then download SP3 to the hard drive of that system. Then using the CD/DVD burning of your choice that you have for Windows burn the disc image file to CD/DVD and then insert it to the system that has the issue and upgrade it to SP3 that way.
I used to use Windows update to get service pack, but one time it did not download and install correctly on an HP system. Since then I have went to Microsoft and downloaded the Service Pack and when it said that it installed successfully I deleted the file I downloaded. I never had issues when I get them and install them that way. The only Service Pack I had issues with was Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. I downloaded it from Microsoft to the hard drive and after it said it was installed successfully I deleted the file. I used it for a while then I shut the system completely down. Then when I booted into Windows I went to put in my password and nothing happened. I tried moving the mouse nothing happened. Then I did a hard reset, booted into Mac OS X, used Boot Cap Assistant, removed the partition, downgraded to Windows XP 32-bit and now miss all the features that come with 64-bit Operating Systems. I am now able to use 2.5GB of RAM out of the 8GB that is in my system. I thought with Windows 32-bit that 4GB what the most that could be used.

IPAD 2 WONT CONNECT TO KNOWN NETWORK

I input the wifi key for the known network but the ipad wont connect to the internet?

Other things you can try:
1. Have you tried rebooting router?
2. Reset network settings
3. Have you tried changing the security settings e.g. WEP, WPA, WPA2
4. Have you tried changing channel; try channel 1, 6 or 11 (non-overlapping channels)?
5. Reduce the number of walls between your iPad and the router.
6. Have you tried changing wireless protocol e.g. a/b/g/n

My ipod touch wont connect to my network anymore.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network? (i do not know what " it shows the wifi icon" means)
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

WRT54G Wireless Router Will Not Assign a Network Address

A Linksys WRT54G router will not assign a network address when I access the router using a Linksys WPC600N wireless card. I have the same problem accessing the router with a TRENDnet TEW-621PC wireless adapter. Both wireless adapters are assigned network addresses when I use other wireless routers. Also, I have no problems being assigned a network address when I access the WRT54G router in question using an old 2WIRE 802.11b wireless card.
I have tried "Repairing" the connection, I have used ipconfig to "release" and "renew" the connection. However, each attempt fails to have a DHCP address assigned.
I am a visitor at the work location with the connection problem, the router works for others without any issues.
Thanks

Well in such case .... you can try few settings on the wireless adapter ....
If you are using WLAN monitor .....
Click start >> All programs >> Linksys wireless monitor >> Click on "Profile" >> Delete all profiles >> Click "New" >> Type in the wireless network name >> Click next >> Configure the rest of the wireless settings same as in the router ...
At last point it shows .... all the configuration settings ...reconfirm that >> Click on connect ot a network & reboot the computer ...
After reboot see if it shows connected or not....
You can also use Static Ip in the configuration ....

Connecting over a network address

I have just purchased a copy of apple remote desktop version 3 as I am going away to university week after next and need to be able to access my home computer to help my parents with any problems that they have. The problem is, I can access their computer (intel imac) from my laptop (mbp) while on my home network but when I go to my aunts house to try and connect it doesn't work.
I know that I have to use the network address of the internet to login but that doesn't seem to work either.
My public internet IP is: 83.xx.xx.xxx and then the imac is connected to a router with ip 192.168.1.71 .
Can anyone please tell me what to type into remote desktop to connect to this computer.
Many thanks.

Here is a tutorial.
I'm tired of hearing the same freakin' questions.

After an upgrade, that profile is commonly du to firewall blocking.
Do you have any other firewalls even if you are not using them?
Have you ever had Norton even if you have uninstalled it? Norton is commonly preloaded on new PCs.
An old Norton can block iTunes if it has been uninstalled.
Are you using an administrator account? iTunes doesn't seem to think you are. It should not be a problem running from a limited user account. That is what I do except when I am installing programs.
Normally TLS 1.0 would be enabled, but I don't think this is the cause of the problem. It can be enabled from Internet Options>>Advanced tab.

Ipod touch 3.0- wifi wont connect to unsecured network

You guys seem like a pretty dedicated and insightful group so I'll try this here.
I downloaded 3.0 on my first generation touch and everything seems to be fine except my unsecured work network will not let me join. Before I upgraded I never had any problem joining. It comes up available but then doesn't connect. There is no value in the DHCP where there was before. I reset the network settings and cleared my cache with no luck. I have a wifi address
Should a restore be the next step? Or are there any better ideas?

I honestly haven't run across this one yet. You can try this (which works with secured networks):
1. Reset your network settings
2. Go to Settings > WiFi > Other networks and type in the name of your network
3. Tap the name to connect.
If that doesn't do it, I would restore the iPod. You can try restoring from a backup but if that doesn't work, try restoring as new.

My phone wont connect to the network or send any type of texts. I am in a LTE area and not connected to that either... What could be the issue?

My phone is currently having issues with sending Texts, connecting to the internet, and reciving texts. It happened all of a sudden and was working one minute and not working the next. Its quite aggravating lol. What could be the issue? I have shut off and restarted multiple times, Did a network reset, tried to do a system update and none of it has helped. I have also checked to make sure the SMS was on in themessage settings.... Please help.

I did and they said they have had a couple people wityh the same problems but cant see anything wrong with the network.
