S3 won't connect to Apple airport WIFI

[iron330]

New member here saying hello. I have a Galaxy S3 (AT&T) that will not connect to my Airport Extreme at home. S3 connects with no issues to all other (public) WIFI spots. I'm on an iMac i7 OS X 10.7.4. Our Powerbooks, my wife's iphone, and my old iphone 3GS connect to our network always, no issues. Of course, they're all Apple products! I log in the S3 with password, it says saved, secure. Unfortunately, the Galaxy S3 just sees the network, but never actually connects. Have reset Airport, Galaxy, etc., but nothing allows the S3 to connect. It says "connecting", but never completes the connection. Any ideas from those with Android phones on the Mac? I love the phone, it does everything VERY well, except this is quite a bugger for me.

Regards,

My father in law has an Airport as well and I have no issues with connecting. As soon as I'm in range, badda bing. I'm with Verizon.

I have the Time Capsule at home and have no issues connecting.

Do a battery pull. Turn off the Router..Do you have a security code to enter? Is Wifi ON??

Did all that, no workie. Yes wifi is on

You can connect other devices, correct? ie. the router is putting out a good wifi signal.

Yes, and yes.

Any chance you know anyone that has an S3 that can try to connect? Maybe to a swap and see if maybe the device is kaput?

Thanks all for the feedback Got it going using the link provided by this fella on android forums.

I do not remember if the Airport broadcasts an adhoc network or not. Not sure if that is an issue. You can try some of the info in this link:

Connect an Android phone to Mac OS X's Internet Sharing | Macworld

Hope that helps.

PS this is an Android to Airport issue NOT an S3 to Airport issue. If that helps any.
