WiFi dead spot
I want to get a new iMac for my home studio, however the House suffers from intermittent wifi signal. I have a Virgin Media wifi router. I was wondering about the air connection, but don't want to other apples of devices or otherwise in the other room. What I want is a reliable wifi signal for a new machine. Can someone advise?
Greetings from the Lamb,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems that you want to have more coverage in your area that has low signal. I recommend you to read this article.
Take care

It can, but it is bearing load and may require a subscription, so check to decide on a version and the carrier.

iPhone SE (9.3.2) - wifi 'dead '.
Anyone of another yet of the problems with wifi after the 9.3.2 connectivity upgrade?
My iPhone SE comes with 9.3.1 about two weeks ago and was not able to connect to my wifi at home. Meanwhile all the other iDevices and iMacs, Macbooks etc connect very well. I have tried all troubleshooting but no dice. I find it incredibly hard to believe that it's a hardware problem (as I read that's what the Apple store employees say customers) that my iPhone connects perfectly in wifi to work, public and all spaces my friends houses.
Apple is just ignoring this issue.
Am I alone in this? Please can someone shed some light on this exasperating situation.
Thank you
Yours is the first report I've heard of this. Since 9.3.2 comes out today, we'll see what develops.
Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Maybe one of them will help you.
(1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.
(2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.
(3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).
(4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4
(5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.
(6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).
(7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.
(8) backup and restore the device using iTunes (ask for more details if you wish).

Hi guys, I really hope someone can help out me with this one. Long story short:
After a week of vacation when we left our iPhone and iPad at home, my girlfriend's iPhone did get any cell phone signal when we came back, said network unavailable in the upper left corner, then we called Fido, the cell phone company, we use to try to resolve the problem. After trying to isolate the problem by changing my SIM card in the phone and SIM card in my phone, we saw that it was related to his SIM card.
The key to reset cell phone network, has changed twice between the SIM card and after a good 24 hours, his phone was on the right track with the exception that it was not able to call me and only me. We get an error call failed. But she was able to receive calls from me and everyone else. Also, we were unable to set up the voicemail.
As if the phone thought she was my line because of some flying over the passage of my SIM card in the phone...
This is the first problem... That we called Fido again. After the usual troubleshooting stuff (reset the network settings, restore the device in iTunes, force the restart, eject and put in the SIM card) the Lady on the line calling in the phone app, the number "# 21 #". Then BAM! no more WiFi on his phone AND his iPad connected to the same Apple ID (not a network problem as all the other device not associated with this specific apple id are ok with this network and wifi iPad literally fall from the moment I hit that famous number) when I press on my wifi network in the list It behaves as it accepts the password, but all is not connect with the wheel spinning without end.
Thus, employees of die cell phone are clueless and now she can't call me and she can't go on the internet with none of its aircraft. I tried a full restoration of his phone.
Tomorrow I will try the iPad on my place of work to see if it can connect to the anther wifi network, pending:
1-don't, anyone know what this # 21 # code is and how I can repair the damage he has done?
2-is my SIM card remains on his good theory and if so, what can we do about it, if not then what could cause his phone to have a call to a number failed error in particular?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure about the theory of SIM card, but my guess is not... don't dwell settings. The SIM card must be "read" on every power up.
The code in what she you punch is a mobile PHONE for call forwarding. She must have felt you have enabled I guess. It shouldn't be anything else stop call forwarding for his phone, if it was enabled.

EA6500-double WUMC710-WRT310N as Access Point
After getting a Smart TV for my basement last year, I was unable to get a proper my WRT310N wireless signal. I had the WRT310N on the second floor with my desktop PC. Wifi should reach the basement, but not good enough to stream hi-def movies. To remedy this, I bought a router of EA6500 and the WUMC710 bridge to replace the WRT310N. I put the EA6500 on the ground floor, the bridge in the basement and I was using Powerline to access my PC upstairs. I become disillusioned by the stability of the signal by current bearer of the PC upstairs, so I bought another WUMC710 to my floor. This configuration is therefore works very well, EA6500 ground floor with of two WUMC710, one upstairs and one in the basement. The only problem I have left is a wifi dead spot in the master bedroom. I not was too concerned about the place of the dead since we do not use wifi in the bedroom very often, but I recently heard that it is possible to use my old router, the WRT10N, as an access point to extend my range of wifi. I followed some instructions of the internet to get the WRT310N set up as access point (disable DHCP, configure phrase password and security, the same as on the EA6500 router). I then used the power lines through a signal ethernet of the EA6500, the son of AC, in the House of the masters of whetre the other carrier current module online is now connected. I then connected the WRT310N to this Powerline online and the WiFi in the room was now nice and sharp. Note that this WRT310N is out now wifi in the main room, while in the corridor on the other side of the second story sits the WUMC710 bridge, which is connected to the EA6500 via wifi. At some point during the day wifi stop working throughout the House. My suspicion is that the WUMC710 passed the EA6500 wifi signal and picked up the WRT310N wifi. The only way I could get wifi back working again was to unplug the WRT310N access point. Is there a way to put bridges (WUMC710) so that they will only connect to the EA6500 and NOT the WRT310N?
Hello. Given that both routers are set up with the same wireless name and password, your WUMC710 will connect to one of them. If you wish, you can configure - your WRT310N with other wireless name and password so that your bridge will connect with EA6500. This should help.

Divide a fall of 13-m111sa WiFi connection
Hello Forum,
I hope you can help us here. My daughter has an HP Split 13-m111sa x 2 notebook/tablet.
She got in March of this year, he is running Win OS 8.1 with applied updates.
The problem or symptoms are:-WiFi connection that it uses both at home and school is declining after about 5 minutes after the connection. It happens with different WiFi connections secure and open that requires a connection (for example BT WiFi hot spots).
Measures taken to date: -.
Removed known networks and joined
Run the IPCONFIG /flush on device
Provided the IP address static to the WiFi at home, different from that provided by the router, but in the same range.
You have any advice or this problem has been identified previously?
Thank you very much
Nick
Hi @Fletcher571 ,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. Thank you for all the information on what is happening at home and away from your router.
I read on your HP Split 13-m111sa x 2 and wireless disconnects. With Windows 8.1, I found the best thing to do is in your device manager just to restore the driver. By clicking on the Windows key and type Device Manager. In Device Manager, look for the network adapter, and then double-click the device name. Click the driver tab, and then click the driver rollback. Restart the computer. It seems to help with WiFi.
Here's a document on troubleshooting wireless if you need it. There are somethings in the other things to try out the selection.
Make sure that your edits have been supported. The HP Support Assistant will help you in the software and drivers for Windows 8.1.
I would like to know how this happens.
Thank you.

(Which is also updating the driver virtual.) If no new drivers WiFi are available then re - install the present
one.Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after

I can't connect to wifi wireless I want more often recreatives__
I recently bought a new laptop that has windows 7 on it. I live next to a coffee shop and was able to use their wifi hot spot with my old office. Their website is not secure (doesn't have a password). I asked the owner of the Café, and she said that no one else is having problems using the network wireless cafes. It is reset (powered by power-off) the router for me. One of my friends came and was able to connect with his computer. I have no other problems with connection problems in other cafes wireless hotspots. When I put them to the top of the login window Wi - Fi it usually shows 4-5 signal strength of bar for coffee, I connect not too. Once I connect to wireless coffee it shows 'connected' but 'no internet access. It is also sometimes said "restricted access". I'm looking for a solution to this problem.
Thank you
Dan
Thanks for the reply Cody. I decided that there is a problem with the router. I had another person who has windows 7 on his cell phone and she could not get on the internet as well. For my computer wireless card internal both external card I bought do not work in this wifi hotspot. I'm planning to get my own ip.
Thank you

Hello
I know that it was discussed during a lot of messages, but I couldn't find an exact answer:
If I use a direct TCP connection and the device works with WiFi I might still add "interface = wif.
or the operating system will automatically use WiFi?
I know how it works for BES, but it the same work over direct TCP?
Thank you.
No, at least not in any OS prior to 5.0 (5.0 has some interesting options in this area).
So if your choice is WiFi or direct TCP, you'll have to first consult WiFi and return to direct TCP if the WiFi does not exist or does not work. The system do it for you.
However, be aware that, in order for a BES connection it will automatically use the WiFi, it must be able to get a WiFi connection secure to your BES. So if you are on a public WiFi hot spot and NOT VPN'ed in to your corporate network, you will get free WiFi. However, in this case, if you tried to force the WiFi, you will get the problem called "split-pipe". Look for more information on hit-pipe if there is a potential problem for you.

Getting a list of the News AP wifi avaialbe
Hello
I'm writing an application that displays all access wifi points to the user and allows to connect to it
I was able to find the code for the connection / disconnection of a point of access (by using the WLANInfo object) but failed to get the list.
I see several posts about this, but I would like an answer precise and up-to-date someone - is possible to obtain a visible list of wifi all points of access at any given time?
I can't believe that such a thing is impossible, since the phone can do to allow the user to connect to the WiFi so spots I can probably do the same way.
I would appreciate an answer defenitive on it because it's a no-go for me
Thanks in advance,
Elad.

Blue screen error during hibernation
Hey all. I've looked through the forums and cannot find a solution to what I saw. I have a home network that consists of my main office directly connected to my internet cable and two laptop computers HP connected by wifi. My House has some dead spots, so I also have a wifi extender to cover the areas. This configuration worked wonderfully for a few years. A few days ago, I had my modem/router set to level of my ISP (Rogers cable - I live in the Canada). Since this new modem/router has been installed two laptops connected via wifi constantly crushing when they go in the hibernation. To clarify, two laptops put in standby mode after 15 minutes, then hibernate after 30 minutes. During the previous day, everything works normally, however, when the minute 30 mark hits they both make this little thing where they light up for about 20 seconds to prepare mode put into hibernation, and then they will switch off. Since the new modem/router has been installed when they light for 20 seconds to prepare for hibernation they freeze... two of them. They remain in a frozen for about 10 minutes, then they are back the Blue error screen. After reboot, I get the standard "your computer shut down unexpectedly" check for solutions box. The solution calls for not knowing what the problem is exactly, but it has something to do with wireless networks. Don't know what it could be that the ONLY thing that has changed in my house is the new and improved modem/router I got. After looking through the forums I've done several options as: checked several times, the sfc/scannow memory, full system virus scans and rootkit scanning, update drivers, etc... All checked like normal, functional and up-to-date. At this point, I'm puzzled as to what it could be. Again this happens BOTH my laptops wireless only when they are preparing to go into hibernation and connected (sleep works very well). All the solutions and I've done analyses were performed on two laptops without success. I'm including the error I get:
1. signature of the problem:Problem event name: BlueScreenThe system version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3Locale ID: 4105More information about the problem:BCCode: 9fBCP1: 00000003BCP2: 894FA578BCP3: 8AED9380BCP4: AB2B35C8OS version: 6_0_6002Service Pack: 2_0Product: 768_1Files helping to describe the problem:C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini021313-02.dmpC:\Users\Vince Bonfa\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-149589-0.sysdata.xmlC:\Users\Vince Bonfa\AppData\Local\Temp\WER1959.tmp.version.txt2. signature of the problem:Problem event name: BlueScreenThe system version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3Locale ID: 4105More information about the problem:BCCode: 9fBCP1: 00000003BCP2: 894FBB70BCP3: 8AE742B0BCP4: 8949A 840OS version: 6_0_6002Service Pack: 2_0Product: 768_1Files helping to describe the problem:C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini021513-01.dmpC:\Users\Vince Bonfa\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-172708-0.sysdata.xmlC:\Users\Vince Bonfa\AppData\Local\Temp\WEREF0F.tmp.version.txtThese codes, both came crashing the same laptop in two of these incidents. The other laptop appears essentially the same error. I will reiterate that I made several of the solutions suggested in other forums without success, and the ONLY thing that was changed at all is the new modem/router. Please any suggestions, help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.PS I know that I can simply turn off hibernation and solve the problem... I am trying to solve the problem, so I can keep hibernate on and have everything works perfectly as before.Good news indeed.

The element most left in a blog has no response to the mouse click.
In this blog, hantudunia.blogspot.com, I tried to click on an item in the tab "Histeria" more to the left, but no finger pointer appear, but adjacent element on the right is interactive. When I used Internet Explorer, all items are clickable. Is this Firefox problem?
Hmm... I noticed if I moved the mouse slowly along the bar there were alive and dead spots on the left side of the menu. To see what was there, I clicked the dead spot and chose inspect element (Q) in the menu.
It turns out be a widget for Google advertising, which seems to have fixed the post, so depending on the size of your window and the zoom level, it may hang something different. (Screenshot see attached).
Traditionally, Internet Explorer allows you to click through a transparent element, which could explain why this isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.
As a temporary workaround, you can use the zoom (Ctrl + and Ctrl-) to move the items from the unclickable area. To attack more permanent, you can use either:
- An add-on as it permanently delete (I have not used for a long time)
- A style rule personalized (we help the writing of the rule and explaining how to install it)
