A few questions.&nbsp;What exactly is a Telus 4900? I know of the T3200M but I've never heard of a 4900.If your iPad is connected to your Mac&nbsp;with a USB hub, that won't affect the network / wifi on the iPad. It would only affect the speed at which you can charge the iPad as some hubs are lower amperage. You won't get a network signal from your Mac through a lightning cable to your iPad or iPhone.Plugging your phone into a different USB outlet or charger won't have any affect on your network connections.The Wifi being turned on, on your iPad or iPhone, is different than your devices being connected to your network. Do you know the name of your wireless network? When you go into the Wi-Fi settings on your devices, does it show that network name at the top of the screen with a check mark beside it? If no, does it ask for a password when you choose your own network? &gt;&gt;&gt; Recommended:&nbsp;https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204051Does cellular data work on your iPhone? If you've gotten some emails on your phone recently, you either had a wifi or cellular data connection.

So you have an IP address on your mac computer but you can't back up your phone or use the net on&nbsp; your ipad.&nbsp; Start by seeing if you can surf the net on your Mac, if that works, check the network settings on your other devices.&nbsp;

Thanks for the reply.Using Safari on my MAC is no problem, and I have had e-mails to my MAC addresses also show up on my I-phone. Which particular settings should I be checking on the other devices?Les.

Can you provide a bit more detail as to what steps you have taken, and where you are trying to back up your iPhone?&nbsp;Are you connected to Wi-Fi on either the iPhone or iPad?&nbsp;

&nbsp;My I-phone, I-pad, and MAC all show that the WiFi is on, and my MAC shows that I am connected to Telus 4900 at 192.168.1.65.My pad is connected by a hub connected to my MAC, but when I try to use Safari on the pad the message says that I am&nbsp;not&nbsp;connected. Also, I used to get e-mail on my pad until last November. I plug my phone into a separate outlet to charge it.
