Won't connect to any wireless!

I've got an airport extreme on the same level in my house as my computers. I've got a Mac Mini and it shows no networks in range. I also have another wireless n router in the basement. Neither shows up in the network list on the mini. I have my MacBook Pro (with n wireless) and a HP laptop (g wireless) and both have great signal. Air port is on, and I unplugged my cordless phones so they won't interfere. I checked and the antenna is plugged in. It had some modifications made. It is a Mac Mini Core Duo Mac MIni. Any ideas why it won't connect? And any other ways to connect then? I also don't have any ethernet ports near me, so using a corded connection isn't possible.

For pinging, try Utilities > Network Monitor.
To diagnose this problem, I'd suggest temporarily moving the Mini to within a few feet of your router. See if you can get things working reliably there.
If you can, then when you relocate your Mini, you may have to fiddle with its precise orientation and location, since its tiny antenna is easily blocked. The postage-stamp size antenna is is the back upper right corner, if you face the Mini from the front.

  • Bought an ipad 2 for christmas but it won't connect to my wireless. My modem/router is an Arris 653 B eurospec DOCSIS. The wifi works on an unsecured network I have in the bldg but not my own network. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm not familiar with your router but are there any buttons on the front or back of it because sometimes you need to pair the router in order for your PC, laptop, phone or iPad to connect wirelessly with it?
    From the routers I have used there are normally two buttons on the front or back (apart from the power button), pressing one of them allows you a few minutes to enter the required password on your iPad. Best look at the instructions for the router.

  • Touch won't connect to my wireless network

    Sometimes my touch won't connect to my wireless network even though settings show it connected with good signal strength.  When I go to the main screen the signal strength icon (upper left) doesn't appear.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost,
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Powering off and then back on the router.

  • ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network.

    My ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network, although the network shows up in the list of networks and I'm using the correct password.  A laptop approximately 1 foot away connects wirelessly to the network.  ATV has worked in the past - haven't tried it recently.  Tried reset - didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    If your wireless router is setup to use WPA or WPA2 security then you need to make sure you match this within your Apple TV device.
    You probably already know to match case sensitivity in your password.

  • My mac book won't connect to any networks.

    My mac book 7,1 won't connect to any networks (wireless connection) . It says "ALERT NO INTERNET CONNECTION" . The configuration IPv4 is on: Using DHCP. So, I don't understand why it's telling me this, and how i can fix it.

    What do the Apple OS X network diagnostics report:
     > System Preferences > Network > Assist Me... > Diagnostics ...
    about your network connection?
    Do the networking problems here also effect connections via a wired network?
    Have you tried a different wireless network?   Does connecting at a library, café or Apple store work?
    I'm going to assume that you're not running OS X Server 10.6 on this MacBook — that would be unusual — and that you're probably running the client version of OS X 10.6, and are here in this forum because you saw the 10.6 in the forum title.  If I'm wrong here, there can potentially be other triggers for the network outage.  OS X Server management is rather different from whe OS X that Apple installs on a MacBook.

  • My phone (4s) won't connect to any wifi since the ios7.0.2 upgrade

    Since updating to 7.0.2 my iphone won't connect to any wifi network. I've done all the steps in help from forgetting the network to a full software reset and setting the phone up as a new device. Vodafone assured me that the next upgrade would correct the problem, it hasn't! They are now refusing to honour the warranty because the phone is now beyond its warranty ( due to waiting for the upgrade ).
    I've Been assured by the tech guys at the local apple store that the problem is not hardware because the phone can see the networks.
    Anyone know if apple have any plans to fix the wifi problem any if so when ?

    Yes I've already restored the phone, once unconnected and again via iTunes, both times I set it up as a new phone and didn't restore the data or settings, I also deleted the iCloud account first so it couldn't backup from the cloud. The fault was exactly the same each time.
    As far as the warranty I'm sick of arguing with Vodafone, the phone was in warranty when I reported the fault so you would think that they would honor the warranty, however I'm told by Vodafone that when I asked for a repair the warranty had expired.
    Apple tell you all about European consumer law which provides additional protection, when you look into this it is advisory only and has no enforcement powers ( I've checked this with the ecl website).
    Basically I'm stuck between two multinational companies that appear not to give a s*** about their customers!

  • Can't connect to any wireless network after waking from sleep

    I have a Netgear wgr814 wireless router and a Powerbook 12" 867mhz. A few months ago, every once in a while when the PB awoke from sleep, it would not be able to connect to any wireless networks. My network showed in the airport menu, but the computer would not connect to it. I believe that the network settings show a self assigned IP of 169.x.x.x. Usually I can see 4 networks in the airport menu, but when it gets in this state only mine shows. Nothing I did on the computer side could make the computer reconnect: renew dhcp, restart, reseat airport card, etc.
    After trial and error I found that if I restarted my router, the pb would reconnect and all would be well. The problem occurred about once a week for a while. Since resetting the router fixed the problem I thought that it may be my router so I updated the firmware. After doing so, the problem didn't occur for about a month, but now it happens at least once per day. Resetting the router always fixes the problem. I don't have to do anything to the PB. Once the router comes back up the PB obtains its IP and is happy again.
    I'll mention that a Dell Laptop on the same network never has any issues and when the PB loses connection the Dell is always fine.
    What could be doing this? My PB is over 3 years old, so is the airport card starting to die? That's the only thing I can think of.

    hi there
    alright.... I tried a bunch of things and I'm not exctly sure what I did that did the trick, but I got the problem solved. I turned off the WPA encryption on the AP. Then I turned it back on with a different password.
    I wonder if the first password I had was too short and that was some how causing confusion.

    My won't connect to any computer, it's up to date with IOS 6.1.3 and i've used mulitple ipod charging cables but nothing works, it only charged when it's completely flat too, then it turns on and stops charging, goes flat and charges again, I also reset it and it didn't help, and now i've lost all my photos because i can't connect to a computer to restore my back up, someone please help, also the only way it full charges is if i leave it in sleep mode, it doesn't say it's charging but later on it will have full bettery

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source

  • My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless

    My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless that my iMac works on. Please help I'm seriously clueless and its driving me crazy!
    I just says error when i type in the key and invalid password when I type in it in network assistant! ):): It comes up as WAP being the only option when I click the network name. but i don't actually know what WAP means....

    Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler to tell the MHz rating, how much RAM is installed, and what type of optical drive it has.
    To run Repair Permissions, go to Utilities again, and click on Disk Utility. Choose the named hard drive ("Macintosh Hard Drive" unless it's been renamed), and click on "Repair Permissions."
    What encryption are you running on your network? Do you have a router? If so, it needs to be set to a mode that will work with the 802.11b standard, since that is what the iBook's original AirPort Card uses.

  • Can't connect to any wireless networks

    My macbook pro can't connect to any wireless networks outside of my home router. I've just taken it on holiday and I can't use it in any free wireless coffee shops or hotels.
    Whenever i select a network it shows it's connected with black bars in the radar icon but I cant access the internet or mail. Most frustrating is it's working fine in windows when I use boot camp.
    I hope someone can help

    Sometimes they can be stored in your Router and/or Modem, but having them in your Mac makes it so you don't have to rely on what's in or not in other's Routers.
    I don't understand DNS...
    Simply put.. you type in apple.com, your Browser goes out to a DNS Server somewhere with the request to link to the number of that name, then comes back with 17.254.3.183... if you ever wonder, you could type in that 17.254.3.183 IP, if it doesn't load Apple, then you are not connected to the Internet, yet if it does, and apple.com doesn't... then it's just that nothing is looking up the addy!
