X230 connecting to my home wireless network

I recently purchased a x230.  I am unable to connect to the internet at home.  I can connect at work using WPA2.  I can also connect at my local coffee bean but at home I'm unable to connect.  I'm using a netgear wireless router if that helps.
Sincerely

Hello,
What brand and model of Netgear Wireless Router are you using?

    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help

  • I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link - 601 tech. 802.11n. My eMac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both.  Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
    To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

  • HT4199 Can no longer connect to my home wireless network

    I've had my iphone over a month now with no problems.  All of a sudden, it cannot connect to my wireless network at home.  I have tried everything recommended from shutting down and restarting my phone to resetting my network connections.  Nothing is working.  There really is no troubleshooter that I can find so what do I do now??

    You are officially my new hero!!  It worked, thank you so much.  There seems to be many people here with the same problem but this is the first time I have seen your suggestion.  It would be nice if Apple had it somewhere in with all of their suggestions that DON'T work....
    Thanks again!

  • Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

    I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
    I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

  • No IP address...suddenly cannot connect to my home wireless network

    My wireless network had been working PERFECTLY from the moment i got my iBook...but its been about a month now that its just not working. And i've looked online, called for support...and i can't figure out what the heck it wrong.
    I have a Westell VersaLink Gateway modem/router...and the AirPort card in my iBook G4 worked perfectly since i brought my iBook home from the store. But starting about a month ago...it started giving me some trouble. I was surfing the web when all the sudden, i couldn't visit anymore web pages...and according the the wireless thingy in the task bar, i have a 100% strong connection to the wireless settings. And after trying to figure out whats wrong. i found out that my iBook isn't getting the rightIP addres...
    I tried so many things (restarting my router...many times, deleting my system prefs, manually typing in the IP address, etc.) but nothing worked. and i'm starting to get real frustrated with having to be connected via ethernet cable into my router.
    So i can connect to my router via ethernet cable...but not wireless...does anyone know what i could do?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    My computer is doing the same thing! My hard drive crashed a week ago--it worked before the new hard drive, but no longer. I can get on other wireless networks--at the Apple store, my coffeehouse, my friend's house--but no longer at home. At home, it shows full bars and says I'm connected, but I can't actually navigate anywhere on the web. My connection is through a Linksys router, using SBC/Yahoo DSL.
    Any new ideas that might account for this?

  • I am new to IPod touch and really enjoying it.  BUT.  All of a sudden I am unable to connect to my home wireless network nor any hot spots.  Did not have any trouble in 1st month and yet something seems to have changed.  Any suggestions as to what ?

    I am new to IPod Touch and enjoying but all of a sudden (after about a month of connection) I am unable to connect to either my home wirless or hotspots outside of home.  It would appear that a setting has changed but have no idea how to determine.  Any suggestions ?

    NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice.  My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet.  I will check the article referred to.

  • My ipad wi-fi won't connect with my home wireless network

    I've had this ipad for a week. it was working fine. today i used it at Starbucks and it conencted fine. Now I'm at home and it won't connect back to my network. I've tried to re-set the network - didn't work. turned wi-fi off and on -- didn't work. it's showing my bars and says I'm connected, but I can't get into safari or any apps.
    Help!

    Try powering off your router fro 30 seconds and restarting it before you attempt to connect.
    Also check to see if your router has the latest manufacturer's firmware level.
    Provide details on what router make/model you have and how it is configured (security type, DHCP or static IP, MAC address filtering, etc.). You probably are not getting a valid local network IP address from your router. To check on this open up the WiFi connection details by touching the ">" to the right of your network name in Settings > WiFi. Report what you see for the fields listed. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router is not supplying an IP address. Without this you will not be able to access the internet.

  • My new iPod Touch (4th gen) Won't Connect To My Home Wireless Network

    Hi Out There,
    I just recieved my new iPod Touch yesterday, inputed my SSID (Network Name), security type WPA2 and password key and It won't connect. Can anyone tell me if I have to do anything else like fill in all the other fields like IP address, mac address, subnet mask, default gateway or anything else like that or should it have connected with the info i provide as I feel this is the sufficient enough information for it to connect but as far as those other fields that I've mentioned does it auto-fill in those other fields when after it connects? Cannot get on.
    Thanks for your responses

    Finally figured it out and Apple doesn't even mention this in their article. I did what some other guy did. I took the Touch's physical address or (Mac address as they often refer to it and put the mac address of the Touch in my router's mac address filter list and "Bang" the internet came right on. Problem solved.

  • My iPod touch (4) picks up my internet connection at my office and at public hotspots absolutely fine. Additionally, it shows full connectivity to my home wireless network. However, even though it shows full connectivity, it does not truly connect.

    It shows full connectivity (three lines) but when I go to the app store...it just loads and loads and loads...My other devices (iPhone 4s, macBook and PC/Laptop) connect fine. I talked to apple for an hour...no solution. I talked to my Internet service provider for an hour..no solution. I tried to contact my router manufacturer but it is rather old and linksys no long provides support for this model. I reset the router factory settings. I reset the iPod from new as well as a back up. The iPod is brand new...two days old. Nothing works. My next step is to purchase a new router. Can anyone out there help?

    I will get one tonight and try it...so frustrating! It was a gift for my dauighter and she was so excited to use it...but was so dissapointed We'll see! Thank you for your input...and if it does work...I will be sure to post it...because I have seen other posts and they never post their solution!

  • Suddenly can't connect to home wireless network

    All of a sudden I can't connect to my home wireless network - always has worked perfectly.  Now I get a box asking for the password, and although I type it in correctly it keeps saying "incorrect password."  I thought I'd delete it and re-establish it, but it doesn't show up in the Managed Network settings.  Any ideas what is going on?

    On the problem computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
    Next, print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer (Network menu).  Note the printer's IP address.
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.

  • IPad won't connect to home wireless network

    Got my iPad for Christmas and it has worked perfectly until tonight. Out of the blue it wasn't connected to my home wireless network. I reset the modem, powered the iPad off and on again, reset the network settings and reset all settings. No luck, it just keeps searching all of the laptops in the house work just fine ??

  • Apple devices will no longer recognize home wireless network

    After returning from a week's vacation, I am having difficulty getting my Apple devices (iPads, iPhones, MacBook Pros, etc.) to connect to our home wireless network. I have tried resetting the router and modem numerous times, restarting the devices, resetting the IP address on the MacBook Pro to no avail. At time I do show a connection to the network, however, I cannot access internet, email, etc. This problem also seems to be affecting ALL of our Apple devices, including the ones we left at home. The PC laptop connects just fine, so it does not seem to be a router issue.  Any thoughts?

    Have you called the ISP's tech support line and asked for help?

  • MacBook Pro only can't find home wireless network

    Hey guys!
    I purchased a 15" retina MacBook Pro by July. It brought Mac OS X Lion with it: I had no problems.
    However, more than a month later I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and I started to have the same problem ALWAYS: sometimes I would be connected to my home wireless network, perfectly fine. However, after shutting down, sleeping, etc, whenever I would turn the Mac on again, it wouldn't find my home network wireless anymore, but it would find e.v.e.r.y and other network available. Also, my phone, iPad, and every other equipment, would find it and work perfectly. After several restarts and wake ups from sleeps, the Mac would eventually magically find it and stay connected for an unpredictable amount of times (sometimes it could find it continuously for some days after some sleeps, and sometimes it wouldn't be found again after some hours of it being found again (assuming the computer went to sleep)). But if I try any other of the available networks it connects with no issue!
    And I've been in this game constantly! I've tried (almost) all the Mountain Lion wifi-related posts in the Internet, but none seems to solve it.
    I have only found a few posts with my related issue, which I recall: the Mac won't find, ONLY, my home network, while any other equipment can, and it can magically find it occasionally, lasting its connection until the next sleep or shut down.
    Help would be really appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Juan

    Hum, good point, the problem may lay with the router compability. My sister, who has ML as original OS has been having the same problem of not finding only our home network, so it seems that the problem lies on Mountain Lion compatibility with the router. I just restarted the router several times and we both got internet at the same time. The question is, as always, how long will it last until it won't find it again.
    Now, focusing on the router.
    Here, in Portugal (as for the rest of the world I don't know), the Internet provider companeis offer their own modems. Not only that, as those modems are both: modems and routers ( http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/149/ofibrasjaestaabombar.jpg ).
    After writting the above, and re-reading what you said, you lighted me up the idea of entering the modem domain (you know, that url you put and have access to every definiton of the router?)
    Well, the password "type" was selected to "WPA and WPA2". What I did was selecting "WPA2" only. So far it seems that it is working. I'll do some restart tests etc etc and I'll let you know! (Maybe the problem may persist, but I'll only know days from know as it may seem, for know, that it is solved.)
    I'll let you know, and thanks for the help so far, Sig!

  • I need help adding my printer to my home wireless network

    My printer was shut down for several months. When i turned it on it was not longer connected to my wireless network. It recognizes my SSID and that of other wireless networks in the area. But I cannot get it connected to my home wireless network.
    When I enter my passphrase it returns error "passphrase invalid." If I use the Push Button or PIN set-up I get the error message "WPS timed out."
    I have followed the instructions useing the HP Printer set-up disc. It worked on one computer today (it printed a wireless network test report). But, then I could not find the printer on the network later. I also noticed the report does not show a IP address for the printer.
    I have also been online with my internet provider and we changed my passphrase 11 times and the printer never recognized any of them. I am operating another printer wirelessly on the same system. By the way, shutting the other printer down did not seem to work. But, they both worked on the network previously.I have also added and deleted the printer several times.
    The printer I am trying to add is a HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n-s
    I am using a Windows 7 Operating System 64-bit on my laptop and Windows XP 32 bit on the other computers on my home wireless network,
    Please help.
