Bascially what I am wanting to do is get rid of the cable company and use our towns free wifi to its residenst........Thanks in advance

It is not possible to use wireless router for any free wi-fi network ..... because the router needs internet connection at the internet port of the router ....
I will suggest you to use range extender or access point to work on your network .....

My iphone will connect to itunes via wifi but not throught the cable
A month ago i noticed that when i plugged my phone into the computer it made the little dings but it wasnt charging. i looked at itunes and it wasnt on there either. i went through and updated my phone with my computer so it would recognize it again, hoping that it would fix all problems. Instead it just fixed the charging. Id plug it in and it would charge but not sync to itunes.
Prior to it not working, i had set it up to where it could sync through wifi. That is the only way i can sync my phone. I've Uninstalled itunes and the reinstalled it and it didn't make a difference. does ANYBODY have any clue as to what to do? I have Windows 8.1 and an iPhone 5s.Hello, juliag1212.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver. Be sure to test connecting the device to the computer with another sync cable if available.

IPhone 4 won't connect to verizon hotspot wifi
I have a Verizon WiFi hotspot at work - my AT&T iPhone will not hold the connection (I work in a high-rise and there is virtually no AT&T signal.) It keeps asking for the password, but won't accept or connect. Sometimes it works fine, other times not at all. I have no problems with other WiFi.
Try changing the broadcast channel on the modem - you'll have to log in to the configuration page in order to do that.

How can i delay the present of direct connected route?
Hi, I got 2 3550SMI switch interconnecting by Etherchannel. Each 3550 has an uplink to its upstream router (R1-SW1=SW2-R2). R1 and R2 connects to the remote site routers (say R3 and R4).
With EIGRP redistribute connected, R1 update the direct connected network via WAN link A to R3 where R2 does the same thing updating R4 via WAN link B.
The failover is fine after SW2 powered off. However, problem occured when I powered up SW2. During the bootup of SW2, there was carrier signal which brought up the ethernet port of R2 and the direct connected route presented in R2 then updating R4. Some of the traffic had started to come over from R4 via WAN link B to R2 while SW2 is still booting. (or Etherchannel was not yet ready). As a result, workstation connecting to SW1 cannot be reached for those traffic came from R4->R3->SW2.
I have tried to use "carrier-delay 60"on the ethernet port of R2. It seems solve the problem since the direct connected route delay 60sec. Within that 60 sec, no update via EIGRP from R2 to R4 so that all traffic still went through R3->R1. After that 60 sec, SW2 had already bootup and the etherchannel was also ready.
However, i can only do it with C3725 router. I've tried 1750, 25xx, 26xx and 3640-12.3T but the behavior was not expected (route still present immediately after carrier signal detected).
My questions are:
Is that command valid on Eth or FE interface?
Is there any different using that command with diff. router series, eg. ISR (18xx,28xx,38xx)?
Is there any condition that I could make it work? (at least 3725 worked)
Is there any other way to delay the present of that direct connected route?
Thanks.Hello,
instead of the 'carrier-delay' command, you could try to change the EIGRP hello and hold-time intervals (which default to 5 and 15 seconds respectively on broadcast media such as Ethernet), in order to delay EIGRP convergence. So, on your Ethernet interfaces when you use the interface commands:
ip hello-time eigrp x 60
ip hold-time eigrp x 180
the redistributed routes will show up only after 60 seconds, which effectively does the same as the 'carrier-delay'...
Can you try that and see if that works for you ?

My iPod 5 can't connect to wifi. It connects to personal hotspots but no to my home wifi. I tried resetting the network settings but no change. I put the right password but it just keeps loading forever. What should I do??
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
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
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx
Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx -
I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?
Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore
You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password -
I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.
I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!
try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck. -

From router A (connected to the DSL device),
use one of the LAN ports.
Take this cable to the WAN port on WRT54G "B".
Visually check to see that the "LAN" LED corresponding to the port # you connected to on unit "A" is lit,
and visually check to see that the "WAN" LED on unit "B" is lit.
If the lights don't come on, use a crossover cable (I don't recall if the 54G has a straight thru / crossover switch in the rear of the unit). -
I can't connect my personal hotspot using wifi,I can able to find my iphone4 but it's just showing obtaing ip adress ??wat can I do for this problem??
Hey there arunvdi,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?
Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Cannot connect to any O2 wifi hotspots
My iPhone has stopped connecting to any O2 wifi hotspots. It used to connect fine but a couple of months ago it just started coming up with the error message "unable to join network". I have tired resetting network settings, restarting the phone, turning the wifi on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting and pretty much everything else support says to do when it wont connect. Is this a problem with my phone or the actual wifi? My phone connects fine to any other wifi.
ThanksAlready done that.
I thought it might be but wasn't too sure. The only other people who have had the same problem as me have iPhones which is why I thought it might be a problem with apple
thanks
