SOURCE: Very, very low signal wi-fi connection with iPod

Are there any other Wi-Fi networks at the area? I suspect interferences in the channel. Log in the router's page, locate the wi-fi settings and change the channel from automatic to manual and select any of the 13 channels (usually). Check the result. In case of problem existing, change channel again until you find the better reception from the iPod.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply.
If you are satisfied, accept my solution. Please consider leaving a 4-thumbs rating; I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks and regards

SOURCE: I HAVE A PANDIGITAL NOVEL

Some routers come preset with a network key, others can be manipulated. many have driver issues when dealing with newer Pc's
Are you getting internet through a wired connection from the router? or is this strictly a wi-fi issue?

How do i get a signal on my galaxy prime core I cannot get internet

Hi Christopher, If no Wi-Fi and you're trying to connect to your home Wi-Fi The password is on the back of the modem in the house, Write it down then go into your phone and tap "SETTINGS" and tap "CONNECTIONS", Then tap on "Wi-Fi" and make sure it's switched on(should be a slide switch there), Once switched on it should start scanning automatically for networks, but if not then there's a scan button there somewhere. When it finds the modem just tap on that WiFi setting and a small window opens for the password, Type in the pass word tap "OK" and you're connected... Below is a link to a short YouTube video explaining pretty much the same thing I said..... I hope this helps..., CHEERS..

1- Check your wi-fi router model.
2- Check your wi-fi settings.
also please check how many devices are connected to your wi-fi at same time. because some routers can only support upto 5 device. you can check this in the settings and also routers manual.

Please let me know, once you done with it.

Galaxy samsung phone. He can't find wi-fi

He should read the manaul or call his cell phone provider's tech support.
If he still can't find wi-fi the wi-fi is turned off or hidden which can be corrected by the person who manages the wi-fi acces point.
I hope this helps him.

Wifi saying unable to scan networks

Hello!
Here are the things you can try for a malfunctioing Wi-Fi on your Galaxy S:
Try turning off your Wi-Fi then turn it on again.
  • Sometimes, this works for me as the Wi-Fi might need a restart so it can try scanning again. You can do so by going to Settings > Wireless and Network > Wi-Fi Settings and ticking the Wi-Fi checkbox.
Turn off your handset then turn it on again.
  • An app that was running on your handset might be messing with your Wi-Fi, so to make all things better, you can restart your handset for a fresh boot. :)
Check if there are actually Wi-Fi networks in your area or the Wi-Fi is too weak.
  • If there aren't any Wi-Fi networks to detect, it can't do anything at all in the first place. Try moving to an area with better Wi-Fi signal.

You can ask me if you have any queries! :) ~azukibean70
