My mac does not connect to the wifi unless I turn on the iphone

My home wifi works great though I have my wifi enabled on my iPhone. But if I have the wifi turned on on my phone, free wifi does not work half the time, unless I wake up my iPhone. I do not use a personal hotspot, or any other type of phone wifi-centric. Just a normal modem and apple airport extreme router.

My mac is a model of iMac end 2015 running El Capitan (later). Phone is running last sof

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

What exactly do you mean by "does not work? What is going on?

  • Airport utility: green points on the AirPort Extreme & Internet; Mini Mac does not connect to the internet.

    Airport utility shows green points on the AirPort Extreme and the Internet, but my my Mac mini does not connect to the internet. IPhones and 2 portable Windows connect very well, and see all the devices on the home network. The problem occurred after that PSI has swapped an ancient for a Comtrend CT5072T DSL modem. I tried to stop and things start back up as if the installation of the internet for the first time. No joy.

    The airport connects using DHCP in Bridge Mode

    The router address is 192.168.80.1

    Address IPv4 is 192.168.80.2

    DNS server is the same as the router, but grayed out

    Mac Mini IPv4 Address is 192.168.80.3

    IPv6 automatically configures

    Also updated the firmware of the airport; no change.

    ISP guy was friendly but puzzled. He started at the top floor level Tech, so I do not know when I hear back.

    Any ideas to fix?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Network preferences may be damaged.

    Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

    Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

    Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

    Then open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilitiies

    Make sure that both Internet and Extreme are green.

  • After update to Sierra, Mac does not connect to the ReadyNAS device

    I have two Macs at home - an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  I also have a ReadyNAS device, which acts as a time for both Machine.

    I've updated the iMac to macOS Sierra.  The upgrade went smoothly, no error reported.  However, once it was up, I found that the iMac has questions is authenticating with the ReadyNAS via AFP (and / or he would authenticate, then delete the connection) and also not able to connect to the service of Time Machine on the ReadyNAS device.

    To be sure it wasn't the ReadyNAS, I went to my MBP - it still works under OS X 10.11 and shows all the problems.  AFP shares are accessible without problem, and Time Machine works as expected.

    Has nothing changed with Time Machine or AFP protocols under macOS Sierra, which could cause this?

    The ReadyNAS is a ReadyNAS Pro 4, running 4.2.28. firmware, if it is useful.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    AFP is not used by Sierra. Try using SMB instead, if your NAS supports. Or contact the technical support of the manufacturer for assistance.

  • Apple Watch does not connect to the iPhone 6

    After updating my iPhone to IOS 9.3.3 6 all my bluetooth devices registered were gone including my Apple Watch. Now, it appears under "other devices" so I can't connect it. I already started my bluetooth and off and reset my iPhone but nothing worked. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    Hello

    Your watch is not supposed to be listed under "Other devices" on your iPhone (settings > Bluetooth), but it should be included in the section "my devices".

    To check the connection status of your watch to your iPhone, go to the eye of settings on your watch:

    • When you view the time on your watch dial, slide up from the bottom edge of the screen, then swipe left / right until you find the glance of parameters. This will specify connected or disconnected:
      • Connected and a symbol of green phone in the upper right shows that the watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
      • Connected and a green cloud symbol indicates that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth, but rather connected (as a backup) to a known Wi - Fi network.
      • Disconnected shows that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone and is not connected to a Wi - Fi network. The symbol in the upper right corner will be a red telephone with a line through it. The same symbol will also see the top of the watch face.
    • Slide down again to return to the watch face.

  • Pavilion G6 does not connect to the cellular device

    I have a Pavilion G6 with Windows 7 OS, which is used as a mobile data terminal. I am trying to use my iPhone Verizon 5 c to connect to a hotspot. All my other HP laptops connect to this phone without problem, but the G6 does not connect to the internet via the phone with cable, wifi or bluetooth. The G6 recognizes the phone and shows it in "unspecified devices." I tried everything to get it to connect without success.

    Hey RC800,.

    Thanks for the info.

    I forgot to ask before, can you tell me the exact model specifications what do you use? For more information on the search for your model and product numbers, click here: How can I find my model number or product number?

    If the laptop connects to other devices, we can say that the material is very good. If he does not see the iPhone theres only a few things you can try. The adapter in your laptop is probably 802.11 g capable which is the minimum requirement for the hotspot iPhone, so we can exclude.

    Please, try the following:

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test another iPhone connection:
    Explicit. This will tell us if it's only an incompatibility with a phone or any iPhone hotspot. Try a hotspot Android will help narrow things down as well.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Let me know what other things should I check to make application to connect to the server using WAP2.0.

    My phone is BB 8900 and OS 4.6.1

    WAP connection will pass through the gateway of the carrier.  This gateway can oppose your respect, or might be trying to optimize the data, or can display a login page for you.  Try the same URL that you use in your program, directly with the WAP browser on the device and see if that runs through effectively.
