IPhone :: Make The MiFi Wireless (or Any Permanent Wireless Network) 2nd To All Other Recognized Networks?
Mar 20, 2012
I just picked up a MiFi 4G device and I carry it at all times. However since it has a cap on data per month I want it to be secondary to several other unlimited WiFi networks such as my office WiFi, home WiFi, free WiFi hotspots, etc. Is there any work around to make the MiFi wireless (or any permanent wireless network) 2nd to all other recognized networks? This is the ideal set-up for my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 WiFi. I don't want to have to turn the MiFi on and off constantly, I want it on in the background as a seamless secondary option. I appreciate any insight and find it odd that you cannot prioritize networks. Meaning if I "forgot this network" and start over will the 1st joined or most recent joined become primary when there are multiple networks available?
What I don't understand is why the wifi isn't working? I just got the iPhone 4S yesterday, I already have an iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 is consistently using my home wifi while I am at home perfectly. My iPhone 4 is updated to the latest software too iOS 5.1. My iPhone 4S will not connect to wifi. I am entering the right WPA user & pass. It is updated with iOS 5.1.
My iPad, iMac, Macbookpro, & iPod ALL have no trouble connecting to my home wifi. I do not understand how this is a wireless router issue when it works with all of my other Apple devices BUT the iPhone4S? I have tried everything under the sun, restart reboot, turn off, turn on, switch network off, switch it on, reset this, reset that?
So, I got my iPhone 4s brand new from apple.com (UK) on christmas day, from then I had no problems at all with the iPhone although a week or so ago I lost my connection to WiFi. When you go to Settings>WiFi usually you will be given quite a few options ( your own WiFi and neighbours), this has always worked for me but now it doesnt, I get the message 'Could not scan for wireless networks'. I've looked in the forums for resolutions but nobody seems to have any although this problem is popping up for quite a few people! I dont have access to an apple store for help from an assistant which makes my situation even worse! I have never dropped my iPhone 4s and have never put it in water either, so has anybody ever had this problem and found a fix? I have also tried reseting my iPhone completely and done the same with my wireless 02 router! Turning on and off again, most things you could think of i have tried!
I've already done a hard reset, and I've also reset my network settings, but my wifi is still having problems. Also, this is for every single wifi spot. Whenever I go to the wifi section in my settings, my iPhone 4s will continue to search for wifi, and it won't stop! If I try to connect to the wifi by using the "other" (which you have to type in the name of your wifi), a message pops up saying "could not scan for wireless networks". Another thing to add is that it's not my wifi because none of my other family members have problems connecting to the wifi on their iPhone 4s'! I am at 1.1 gb of my 2 gb monthly allowance while I still have 20 days left, and I also just noticed that since this problem started, my phones battery life is shortened 2 to 3 hours!
For whatever reason my e71x no longer displays wireless networks. I have no made any adjustments to the device that should cause it to no longer register wireless networks. Any idea on possible fixes?
My sony experia mini will not connect to wireless networks. It says it is unable to scan and then wireless turns off automatically. A lot of the time it is unable to connect to 3G either.
Had my HTC Desire for about a week now; brilliant phone Although the battery life is not poor (lasts about a day and a half/ two days with little use), when I check to see what is draining the battery, it seems to always be maps that is the culprit, even though I am now (knowingly) using the maps application or GPS etc.
I have done a little research and it seems that is could be the 'use wireless networks' option that is causing this so I have just now disabled this and will see how it goes. Any reasons as to why maps might be showing up as using the largest (if not, second largest) chunk of battery power?
My iPhone 4s will not connect to my home wireless network. The phone recognizes the network, but after i put in the password, the grey loading circle just spins endlessly on my chosen network without connecting. I've tried restting the network setting, restting the router, and checking for updates.
yesterday i'm using apps to connect to internet. but suddenly it stopped. it disconnected from wifi.
afterthat i cant connect/find to any wifi network. but my other device still able to work with wifi around. i try use 'other' from wifi menu. and search, it turned out 'Could not scan for wireless Network'
i tried reset network, but it wont works. i am using iPhone4S 32gb
I currently have a question concerning the possibility to tethering a wireless connection over USB to a Windows XP PC. I know that it is not possible to set up a wireless tethering of a wireless connection, only 3G or 4G connection.
My problem is that I have a work computer that is very strict on which open wireless network it can connect to. I therefore want to connect my iPhone 4S to whichever wireless network and tether the connection to my PC through either USB or Bluetooth.
I have a wireless network at home and it is quiet strong. My iphone was always connected to it until today. It doesn't see it and it can't connect to the internet via wireless network. It is using the 4G from the service provider, which is too slow and does not allow for certain functions.
I know there are some threads on here with an issue like this but check it out:Last week my iPhone 3G stopped connecting to my wireless network. Since then I have changed the WPA Key and even removed it completely so that there is no password and it still does not connect. I tried my wife's iPhone at the same time and that connected no problem - even on another network my iPhone refuses to connect to a wireless network. Do I need to get it replaced?
My iPhone 4GS ( my wife's too) wireless connection won't establish as it has been doing for over 2 years. No problem getting on the net through on an unprotected network. All of the other devices that use the same home network work fine as usual. The apple store folks suggested the that I try the various resets in the Settings panel, but that didn't make a difference. I searched the forum expecting to see more people with the same issue, but don't.
I got my iPhone for Christmas, and it was connecting to available WiFi, switching from 3G to WiFi, fine until May. I have tried the recommened resolutions on the Apple site, such as Resetting Network, turning on/off WiFi, but none have worked.
Before the 5.0 update, I was able to use my iPhone 4 to play music on my PC via my wireless network. I'd click Music, more, then my Shared Library would be there. I've looked all around the internet, checked every setting I can think of, changed every setting I can think of, yet I cannot get this feature to work again.
I have seen on the web that the phone can be turned in to a wireless hotspot but I can not find how to do it on the phone.Does any one know it if can be done and what I need to do to make it a wireless hotspot.Am using a 9380 with 7.0 bundle2220 (v7.0.0.513, platform 9.32.0.51) software.
