Wifi question...

    I've had issues with my iPhone6 that I started in another thread about a year ago. Got the phone replaced as it was under warranty.

    With that said... My phone and other devices do not connect to the fastest wifi in the house. We have a Belkin 1200 that allowed us to offer different connections so that different devices could be on different ones. It keeps telling us that the password is incorrect to the main connection. We can hard restart the router and it will connect for about 5 minutes then drop again. The second connection isn't as fast and is pissing me the hell off.

    Any recommendations before I kick my dog?

    Am interested to hear the answer. Have some of the same issues at home. Or least it seems slower at times.

    If you've recently updated to the newest OS that might be your issue. A lot of iPhone 6 users have been complaining about such things since the newest firmware update.

    That may be an issue. I've also had a helluva time trying to make phone calls the last couple days. But the wifi has been going on for some time. Baseball season is finally over for me so I'm catching up on the mountainous honey-do list.

    If you want to extend its range and connectivity issues, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station. I bought it for my apple products (iPad, Apple TV, and three iPhones) and I have seen a significant increase in download and upload speeds. I no longer have intermittent connections with my Cisco e1000.

    Switch your wifi to B/G only, versus B/G/N, and see if that doesn't help. Wireless N and Apple products don't play nice for some reason.

    Just switched it. Now it's wait and see.

    Probably in the admin console web interface.

    When I have a computer question, I ask my eleven year old.

    We were having connectivity problems with a Belkin router, mostly with my wife's Notebook and Kindle in our master bedroom. We found that the password given to us by the cable company installer was not right. The password was the code on the router itself, problem solved.

    My router says basic wireless settings and choose network mode.

    login to router...probably an IP address you need to enter in browser but should be listed someone on router.

    go to wireless settings

    And if it isn't on the router anywhere, bring up a command prompt on your PC and type in ipconfig (if windows, don't know what to do on a Mac) and find the default gateway address. That will be your router's IP.

    Got that part down. Just can't figure out what to do from there. Don't have a wireless settings to change what Eric said to do. Have a bunch of other options security and SSID related, though.

    What's sad is I teach computer applications. Damn those kids are getting cheated.

    I see now what I am looking for. However, I can't select B/g only.

    Only options are g and n solo.

    And then b, g and n together.

    **** this shit.

    Airport express will cure your problem. It did mine.
