How to resolve Wi-Fi Connecting problem with Apple devices (Ipod, Ipad, IPhones and Laptops)

Recently I bought new IPOD and when go home and try to connect to WI-FI I was getting message that I can not connect as I have a problem with my WIFI connection.

Before we discuss the problem and solutions for apple devices, first we all want to know what Is Wi-Fi?

A wireless network uses radio waves, just like cell phones, televisions and radios do. In fact, communication across a wireless network is a lot like two-way radio communication. Here's what happens:

1. A computer's wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits it using an antenna.

2. A wireless router receives the signal and decodes it. The router sends the information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection.

The process also works in reverse, with the router receiving information from the Internet, translating it into a radio signal and sending it to the computer's wireless adapter.

The radios used for WiFi communication are very similar to the radios used for walkie-talkies, cell phones and other devices. They can transmit and receive radio waves, and they can convert 1s and 0s into radio waves and convert the radio waves back into 1s and 0s. But WiFi radios have a few notable differences from other radios:

They transmit at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. This frequency is considerably higher than the frequencies used for cell phones, walkie-talkies and televisions. The higher frequency allows the signal to carry more data.

They use 802.11 networking standards, which come in several flavours: 802.11a transmits at 5 GHz and can move up to 54 megabits of data per second.

Many devices can connect to one router

 

As long as they all have wireless adapters, several devices can use one router to connect to the Internet. This connection is convenient, virtually invisible and fairly reliable; however, if the router fails or if too many people try to use high-bandwidth applications at the same time, users can experience interference or lose their connections.

All of our laptops and PCs work well with our home Wi-Fi network. But I was having trouble accessing the network with two new Apple products, IPOD and a laptop. The laptop was so slow on Wi-Fi that we can't use it. The IPOD either doesn't connect to the network or is unable to download information.

There are several possible answers to the Wi-Fi problem. Here are some nice solutions for all problems you will face with new Ipod, Ipad or laptops connecting with WI-FI.

 

1. Router Needs software updates

Some types of wireless routers need software updates to work properly with newer iPhones and computers. Go to the manufacturer's website and search for updates for your router's model number.

2. Restarting wireless router

This idea resolves my Ipod connecting problem in my home. You can also try turning off the wireless router and restarting it; this sometimes works wonders.

3. Weak Signal problems

You might have a weak Wi-Fi signal caused by passage through too many walls in your home. Since not all computers and phones have equally good built-in Wi-Fi antennas, a weak signal may elude them. Try moving your Apple products closer to the wireless router.

4. Boost your Wi-Fi signal

Alternatively, try boosting your home Wi-Fi signal by moving your Wi-Fi router - to the extent its cables will allow - to a different location, preferably near a doorway.

5. Radio interference

Your Wi-Fi signals might suffer from radio interference. Apple says that localized interference can be caused by microwave ovens, satellite TV signal leakage, cordless phones and certain types of computer monitors.

6. Change Router Channel

If you are finding more interference, you can reduce this via switching your wireless router to a different channel. This can be done plugging network wire in different channel of router.

7. Wireless Keyboard and Mouse problems

If you find some problem when using existing Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 6000 v3.0, which worked well on Windows XP but freeze with new windows 7.

First try moving USB radio transmitter and changing the settings but if nothing works.

 

What can be done?

Microsoft recommends downloading new software that improves performance by automatically detecting which keyboard and the mouse models you have.

You can find the IntelliType 8.2 software for your keyboard and the IntelliPoint 8.2 software for the mouse.
