Cannot Join a WPA2-Encrypted Network

Hello all,
I have the iPad Wi-Fi+3G. At work we have 2 wireless networks served by Cisco WAP4410N access points. One is encrypted with 128-bit WEP and the other is WPA2-Personal Mixed. Both are set to 802.11b/g/n, and they have different SSID's.
The iPad cannot connect to the WPA2 network, saying the password is incorrect, even though I have verified that I'm using the correct password. However, the iPad can connect to the WEP network.
I don't know what else about the WPA2 network that could cause this issue. It also happens when iPhones try to connect to it.
In contrast at home, I can connect to my WPA2-Personal network served by an Airport Extreme Dual-Band router.
Thanks.

I am have the same issue with a different brand router. I can connect via WPA2 Personal via my MacBook Pro (that I'm typing this on), but cannot connect via my new iPad. I get an error saying that the password failed.
Any solutions, Apple?
First, Apple is not monitoring these forums for bug reports. This is primarily a user-to-user problem solving forum. Report your problem to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html with details. Since probably the majority of iPad users are using WPA2 without problem whatever problem you are having is likely specific to the model of router you have and the level of firmware it is running.
By the way, it's rather optimistic to be replying to a thread which is over 4 months old and has had no responses, even from the original poster who may have long since solved their problem.
If you want any useful advice here you should provide a lot more detail on what equipment you have and how it is configured, what iPad OS level you are running, etc.

  • Cannot join time capsule airport network from iPad 2 or iPhone 4

    I have recently setup a new time capsule airport base station network with my new iMac (27-inch, late 2012) running OSX 10.8.2. Wi-Fe network works fine for internet access and printing from the iMac but I cannot join the wi-fi network from our iPad 2 or iphones. The network is seen in the wi-fi setup when wi-fi is turned on with the ipad and phone but does not establish a connection. An IP address and subnet mask show under the DHCP settings but the connection is not established. (Continuous revolving wheel).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The airport utility in Mountain Lion is a toyland version.. see bottom of post for installing v5.6 which improves the ability to actually make the TC do what you want.
    For whatever reason the iphone/ipad seem sensitive to wireless channels.. which Apple auto rotate.. I think it is bluetooth connection stuff.
    Anyhow jump in and set the following.
    Wireless should have strictly SMB names.. short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security.
    Lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. try in the following order.. 11, 6, 1 (those are the only non-overlapping channels) you can try in turn for which is best but if 11 works well stick to it.. Outside USA you can also use 13.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Try changing the security on the router. Starts with no security as a test.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPad cannot join a free wireless network, my colleague's iPad can join ok though

    I get an error message "unable to join network". This is free wireless network at work for us and visitors, the iPad can detect the wireless connection and even shows its name but when I try to connect to it, the error message says I can't join the network. I tried resetting the network settings, hard rebooting it but no luck.
    Wifi settings have not changed at all, I was able to use this wireless connection before but now can't. Some of my colleagues who also have iPads can connect to it right away. Have you ever had a similar problem, if so, have you been able to fix it?. Thanks.

    Occasionally it happens to me.  Go to Settings/WiFi and touch the ">" at the right hand side of the network that you're attempting to access.  Then, touch "Forget this network" and try again.

  • HP Wireless Printers cannot connect to WPA2-secured WiFi networks with Cisco/Meraki WAPs

    In the last two months, I've had the displeasure of working with two very different HP printers and attempting to make them work on a WPA2-secured wireless network.  All attempts to authenticate fail with "invalid phassphrase". 
    I'm not the first person to encounter this, it's a problem with many different HP wireless printers (I just happen to have physical access to the OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511). 
    My equipment is a Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall running ASA 9.1x & Cisco Aironet 1142 running IOS 15.3.x. 
    What does work on the WPA2/AES SSID:  Apple MacBook Air running OSX 10.10.2, Three Windows-Based laptops running Windows 8.1 Update 1, an iPhone 5s, Three Windows Phone 8.1 devices, Roku 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Sharp Aquos TV, Amazon Streaming Stick, and an Android Tablet (Jellybean).  Basically, everything. 
    What does not work on the WPA2 network:  OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511.
    To test the theory there is a problem with HP's implementation of WPA2 with regard to Cisco Aironet IOS, I built out a second SSID that only works in WPA/TKIP mode.  This solution works.  Both HP printers will join the WPA/TKIP network.
    So, I'm able to demonstrate there is a certain connectivity issue.  When i look at AAA Debug on the WAP's console, I can observe the HPs attempt to authenticate "Bind I/F" on the WPA2 SSID, however they do not achieve authentication and do not pass the AAA phase.  However, on the WPA SSID, they bind and authenticate successfully. 
    To help illustrate this, here is my WAP running config.  It's about as simple as it can get.  There is no relevant MAC filtering or ACLs bound to any interface.  Noting that I have an ACL on remote access to the WAP (i.e. Locked down to SSH, disabling telnet).  The main point being that the ASA firewall is not a factor in this problem as the issue is at the WAP before WPA2 authentication can complete, therefore the printers never reach the network / when the printers connect to the WPA network, the operate fully & correctly. 
    If anyone at HP can indicate why this particular config is somehow improper or broken, that would be fantastic.  There should be no reason why Cisco / Meraki WAP owners have to lower wireless encryption standards just for a printer, be forced into wired, create separate SSIDs with lower encryption specifically for a device.

  • Cannot join WiFi network?

    I cannot join our WiFi network at the office on my phone, but I can join it on another person's iPhone. Do you have any suggestions.....Please?
    Thanks a lot,
    Howard

    You haven't given us much to go on.
    Can you connect to other wireless networks from your phone?
    Are you getting any error messages?
    What kind of security does the office network have (WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA Enterprise)?
    Is it a "classic" or a 3G phone?
    What version of firmware is on your phone?
    The two most common reasons you can't connect to a network are an incorrect passphrase and a router with out of date firmware. The fact that another iPhone connects makes the out-of-date firmware an unlikely cause. Next is a router that is set to only recognize specific devices, called MAC filtering (MAC is Media Access Control, not a computer type). If the router does this the WiFi address of your phone (settings/general/about) must be added to the router "allow" table by your admin.
    To test the first reason go to Settings/WiFi, tap on the arrow to the right of the network SSID and tap "Forget this network". Then try to connect again and enter the passphrase very carefully.

  • MacBook Pro sees wireless networks but cannot join any. Connection timeout error

    I have a MacBook Pro here that sees all wireless networks but cannot join any. It gives a connection timeout error with every one.
    Internet access via ethernet cable works just fine.

    It's not uncommon for you to "see" a great many networks, dozens even, yet you not be able to connect to any of them even if they are "open" (no lock icon). There may be a number of reasons for that, such as they're too weak for a reliable connection, or the router may limit connections to only specified devices.
    There is only one way to achieve a reliable network connection, and that's for you to connect to your own wireless router. Even that doesn't work if its signal is too weak or if there are many competing wireless networks in your area.
    If it's your own AirPort Base Station you're trying to use but can't, the latter could be the reason. The only way to mitigate the effects of wireless interference is to use 802.11n and 5 GHz whenever practicable. Even today you may only find one or two 5 GHz networks being used in an otherwise "crowded" area.

  • Cannot join network after ios update

    After ios update i cannot join on my ipad network

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • TS3304 cannot join networks on wi-fi on ipad or iphone

    All of a sudden in the last week I cannot join the wireless network for either IPAD1, IPAD2 or Iphone. Does this have something to do with the updated software (5.1.1) on these devices or my Comcast router? We've called Comcast and Apple and resetting the wireless nework on the devices does not seem to help. Please advise.

  • Airport Extreme - Cannot join a wireless network

    I just purchased the Airport Extreme and cannot get it to find a wireless network. In the Airport Utility I receive the following messages, "Joining a wireless network….An error occurred joining the selected wireless network.". I cannot proceed past this point. When I select "manual" configure I get the same error message. I've tried repeatedly disconnecting the cable & power from the modem and the airport extreme and then restarting but nothing happens. Any advice would be appreciated!

    If you have a cable modem, you will need to power it off for at least 15-20 minutes and pull the battery if is has one as it is remembering the last device (probably your computer) that is was connected to. Power it back up after 20 minutes and connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port on the AEBS.
    Suggest you do a factory default reset to clear the corrupted settings and start over again on the AEBS
    Power down the AEBS
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the power back in
    Release the reset button after approximately 8-10 seconds
    Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS to help AirPort Utility connect with the device.
    You will be configuring the AEBS to "Share a public IP address" and "create a wireless network. The guided setup will step you through.

  • Successfully setup Airport- devices cannot join network

    I've set up my Airport Extreme (green indicator light):
    I created a network & a guest network. I cannot join either network with my wireless devices (they have no problem with other networks).
    Is it incorrect for me to use the passwords I created in Airport Utility?

    I cheated: I did a copy-and-paste and the password worked. Unfortunately I can't do that with Apple TV. Is it possible that some letters (characters) generated by Keychain aren't compatible with 'remote' input?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If that does not resolve your issue, I would next follow either of these 2 sections from toward the bottom of the article depending on the situation.

  • Can my older Airport Express 802.11g join an existing wireless network

    I have a Airport Express 802.11g firmware version 6.3 . Using the most recent Airport Express Utility I can set it up as a base station on its own independent network but I cannot join it to my existing home wireless network. As I go through the wizard (or manual setup) It just does not detect/display any existing wireless networks. I have plenty of mobile devices in the  house that can see the wireless network...and next doors network.
    So, it begs the question ... is an 802.11g unit actually capable of joining another network or is this capability available on later models only. A search of apple support and the wider internet for "Airport Express 802.11g capabilities" yeilds a blizzard or useless info.
    Thank you

    Sorry, I cannot help on Windows since I do not have a Windows 7 machine here to test. I have used XP in the past and AirPort Utility appears to be virtually the same in Windows as a Mac. I assume that this is the case for AirPort Utility 5.6.1, and it should be able to configure the Express.
    The older Express will join most wireless networks if the following conditions are met:
    1) The Express is functioning correctly.
    2)  The wireless network name is 12 characters or less and it contains only normal letters and numbers. Avoiding blank spaces in the wireless network name will help improve the chances of the Express joining the network as well.
    3)  The wireless router is broadcasting a compatible signal that would allow the "g" Express to connect. If your network is broadcasting a wireless "n only" signal, the Express cannot connect to this network.
    4)  The wireless security on the network is set to a WPA compatible setting. That is because the older Express has difficulty joining 3rd party wireless networks using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES encryption. In other words, if your network is now using WPA2 Personal or WPA2-PSK-AES settings, the "g" Express will probably not be able to join the network.
    5)  If you are using MAC Address Filtering on your network, the MAC address of the Express will need to be included in your settings.
    6)  The wireless network password uses the same guidelines that appear in 2) above
    The items noted above will provide the Express with the best chance of joining your network.  Plan to use the Manual Setup option in AirPort Utility and be prepared to use the Option or Alt keys on the PC if needed.
    If you are looking for a guarantee of success in advance for this task, I cannot provide that and you should wait for another user to post who might be able to meet your requirements in that regard.

  • Cannot connect to secure guest network

    My company is pushing more of our work content to the iPad2 via internet connection to databases, etc.  I work in a hospital as a vendor.  The hospital has a guest network setup that requires authentication by providing your email address and accepting their terms and conditions. For a few months I had no issues connecting with the company provided iPad2.  For the last month, I have not been able to get connected. I can work on my 3G connection, but most places I go in the hospital do not allow a 3G connection.  The iPad sees the guest network, and is connected as indicated by the blue check mark.  Additionally, my Android phone and Windows XP laptop connect with no problem. 
    The information the ipad is pulling from the router is:
    IP Address:  172.22.80.149
    Subnet mask:  255.255.255.0
    Router:  172.22.80.4
    DNS:  192.168.16.8
    IP address is set to DHCP.  HTTP Proxy is OFF.  Auto-join and Auto-login are both on. I've tried it with Auto-login turned off too. The error message I get in Safari is:  'Cannot verify server identity. Safari cannot verify the identity of "securelogin.arubanetworks.com".'
    I've tried forgetting the network and renewing the lease. I've tried resetting network settings.  The hospital's IT department doesn't provide support. Currently my company's IT department is baffled. 
    The iPad is running iOS v5.0.1.  Ipod touch CAN get connected by seeing the authorization screen, agreeing to terms and providing email. 
    Can anyone please help?!

    Scott, welcome to the discussions!
    First make sure your Radio Mode is set to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible). The titanium powerbook is probably a "g" or "b" device so you need this setting for compatibility.
    Sounds like the titanium powerbook cannot handle WPA/WPA2 security settings. Try WEP and see if that will work.
    WEP is not nearly as secure, but you may need to accept that compromise if you want the titanium powerbook to work on the network.
    Post back on your progress.
