I set up a Netgear WAC120 AP for a home user. &nbsp;I configured it for both the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands as WPA2. &nbsp;My laptop connects first time, every time and runs great. &nbsp;But their android phones time out saying &quot;Could not obtain IP address&quot; on both SSIDs, and their new iPad mini spins forever and never connects. &nbsp;Any ideas what could be going on? &nbsp;Maybe a wrong AP setup somehow? &nbsp;TIA

Some devices won't connect to AP

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
