TS1398 iPhone WiFi Password Problem

I have a wireless network that I connect with on my MacBook but not on my iPhone. When I try to login to the network I get an error message saying the password is incorrect. This is the same password that I am using on the MacBook which works fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Forget the network (in settings/WiFi). Reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, then try again.
If that does not resolve the problem go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings.
BTW, if it is a 40 bit WEP key it must be key 1 (although I hope no one uses WEP anymore, regardless of key length).

TS1398 iPhone wifi connection problem

My iPhone 5s recognizes my wi-fi when I am in the house but it is still working off Verizon which has a weak signal. How do I get it to work off the wi-fi when I am in the house? I just re-set the wi-fi but no change--still connecting to Verizon.

See Step 8 on this Apple support page for troubleshooting Wi-Fi.

WRT110 WIFI password problem

Hi Everyone,
I've got a very strange problem. First, I indicated WPA under Wireless Security section and typed in my passphrase. However when connecting to my wireless network name my passphrase never worked. Second, I completely disabled security and tried to simply connect without any passphrase, but I was still being asked for a passphrase nonetheless. I checked and double-checked and saved settings making sure security was disabled, but I was still being asked for a passphrase when choosing my wireless network!
I could probably restore my WRT110 to factory settings, however I don't want to loose other configurations like certain open ports and IP addresses I opened up for firewall.
Is there a way for me to resolve my WiFI password problem without restoring to factory default? I just need to figure out how to make the WiFi passpharse work. Here's what I have there:
Security Mode: WPA Personal
Encryption: TKIP
Passphrase: 0sunspot0
Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
However, when I pick my wireless network and try to connect to it by typing in 0sunspot0, I get authentication failure!
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Victor.
Solved!

I have misplaced all relevant info. for my router. I am trying to connect to a mini ipad. What do I need?
Is the router up and running and you would only want to add a device wirelessly? If so, you may access the setup page as sabretooth has said. To check the wireless settings, you may check this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=476326f36c294e579ba6691a8db5411e_3698.xml&pid=80&r...

TA48312 ipad 2 wifi password problem

i have problem with my apple ipad 2 wifi password ...i use itunes latest and win xp 2 HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP ME

I too have had this problem with both iPhone and iPad dropping my wifi network and now neither are able to join the network again. This has only occurred since the last iOs update. had problems with them dropping the network in the middle of something, but was usually able to reconnect after powerdown and reboot, now neither will reconnect.
Apple support says it's my router and modem, or my password is wrong. Nope, not those as my wii, desktop and roomie's laptop all connect just fine. The devices see the network, but are unable to join.
I am thinking this is a software/iOS issue.

IPhone wifi-network problem- Please Help!

I have a problem with my iPhone4. It could only connect to the internet for a couple of minute then it dropped off. But it is still connect to the wifi though and in my Mac the wifi seem to be working fine. Any ideas?

first start here
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/wifi/
If that doesn't help then
Restore as new, if wifi works add your backup and proceed .If after backup issue returns
Then you have a corrupt backup
If when restored as new no wifi then you probably have hardware issue and should take it to an Apple Store genius bar

Iphone wifi password for 2wire530

I'm trying to upgrade my iphone 4S. It's asking for a password for 2wire530. Does anyone know the password or how to log on so I can download this upgrade? tx - not too savvy in this realm

Thanks for repling wjosten but its unfair for those who don't want to jailbreak the phone they cannot use such useful apps like Wifi Passwords / SMS counter / Data Counter. :@ ....

IPad WiFi password problem fixed by switching to 128-bit encryption

Upon waking, my iPad would often prompt me to re-enter my WiFi password, or simply say that it wasn't connected to the internet.
I was using an old D-Link Router with 64-bit WEP encryption. After talking to a senior support tech, I switched the WEP to 128-bit and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
This is still a bug, because if you're in some random hotel, you can't change the router settings. But this workaround may help until a patch is released.

Wifi password problem

I am staying in the same hotel suite from a few months ago, but the wife password for my room is different. My MacBook Air is unable to connect to the wife router because I don't know how to change the old password. Any ideas?

Try the following: click on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, the Open Network Preferences, then Advanced, then on the name of the network, then the minus icon below. That will delete the network and you should then be able to join using the new password.

TS1398 my wifi password changed but I can't find a way to enter the new password on my ipad...it just keeps saying unable to join (since it has the old password in it)

my wifi password changed but I can't find a way to enter the new password....I keep getting a message "unable to join network" (since it has the old password in it)

Thanks!!! I actually used the "reset network settings" process but my guess is that I will now have to re-enter passwords for the networks I use...seems they should have made an easy way to simply change a password for a specific network since a lot of folks change them regularly for security reasons....thanks for the responses!!!

IPad 2. Wifi password problems

Hi. Have iPad 2. And keeps forgetting wifi password eg when I go to work and then return I have to re enter the home wifi password. Any ideas?

No - just off line at work. It seems to occur when I go out of coverage of the home wifi and then back when it won't log on automatically. I have a BlackBerry which manages just fine to recognise the home wifi and log on. It works when unsecurred but obviously I don't want that. I am using WEP at home.
I seem to recall my iMac did this for a while then randomly stopped.

Wifi password problems

I'm having trouble accessing the option to enter wifi password at work. After I accidentally put in the wrong password for wifi, I receive message "unable to join the network..." How do I regain access to enter wifi password?

If you click on the i (info) icon for that wifi connection, you'll be able to "forget" that connection. After that, you can reselect it from available networks and enter the correct password.

Weird 7.0 (7.02) wifi password problem

i have this weird problem wih wifi in 7.0 and 7.02 - it happened on my iPhone 5 and its happening on my 5S
At work we have a wifi network with an 8 character password - if i type the password the join button stays grey - if i add a space it turns blue but of course its then not the right paassword
At hom i have a wifi network with a longer password and there are no problems
I sent feedback to Apple about this but im wondering if anyone else noticed the problem and has any idea on how to solve it - ive tried resetting network settings
Unfortunately i cant ask our systems folks to change the password to something longer just to accomadate me

I understand where you coming from. Getting people to change passwords to accomadate you and I respect that you don't want to be a bother like that.
But I just want to say, that there is absolutely no magical setting or anything that will help with your situation. Unfortunately it is either Apple (probably not though), your internet provider, or your company that has gone wrong.
If it is your company that is the one liable for you not being able to connect to your internet, well then, like you said "I can't ask the system folks to change the password to something longer just to accomadate me".
If it is Apple's fault, you've emailed them and they'll probably tell you like I am that you, nor they can do anything (as there is once again not a magical setting that will fix the issue).
If it's your provider, I don't think you would have the details to contact them or the details as to the questions they would ask you.
Sorry man, but you're in a (as I like to call it) a three-way-corner. You don't have the details to go one way, the other way doesn't know how to help you (or can't) and then the third way would only annoy your "system folks".
... But if you're the boss or the CEO of some company, tell them to do it.

Iphone - wifi password is not recognized

hi,
I'm really going crazy with my iphone.
since a software update last week, my wifi connection at home is not working anymore.
I've tried everything described on the support side and things I found here in the forum, as
1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network
2. Enter the name of the network you are trying to log onto
3. Tap Security and tell the iPod what type of security the network is using
4. Tap Password and enter the network password
TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
If this still doesn't work, reset your network settings (tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings and try the steps above again once the iPhone restarts.
TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
my router at home is from linksys...
as I said, until last week, it worked properly without any problems...
now, the iphone only finds my wifi and asks for the password and after typing it I always geht the info, that network connection failed...
I have no ideas anymore what I can do and would highly appreciate your help

I'm sure, this is a really stupid question now, but how can I do a software update on my linksys router?
I cannot find anything when I'm opening my linksys router page?

Why did this happen? wifi password problem

I would be grateful if anyone could enlighten me.
Yesterday I spent some fruitless hours trying to set up my airport express to join my wifi network. (DGND3700 Simultaneous dual band 2.4GHz & 5GHz)
After a few failed attempts I tried establishing a connection thru a password free channel and succeeded.
Again after a few more failed attempts I searched this forum and read Henry B.'s advice.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/6611596#6611596
Most problems at this point are due to not correctly implementing the same wireless network security protocol and password on both the wireless router and the Airport Express. What method are you using (WEP or WPA)? If you have the option on your wireless router, select WPA with TKIP encryption.
I changed the security setting on the DGN from WPA2-PSK (AES) to WPA-PSK (TKIP) and it worked.
I wondering why it does’t work with WPA2-PSK (AES) and also why there is no mention of this easily found in the so called setup manual or elsewhere.
Thank you Henry B. for your advice.

The WPA wireless security equivalents for AirPort & other manufacturers routers are as follows:
WPA - Non-Apple: WPA-PSK (TKIP) = Apple: WPA/WPA2 Personal
WPA2 - Non-Appler: WPA-PSK (AES) = Apple: WPA2 Personal
In theory, when you first attempted to join the DGND's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort Express, it should have recognized the wireless security type as WPA2 Personal when it encountered your router's WPA2-PSK (AES) setting. However, it may also fall back to WPA/WPA2 Personal which (in theory) attempts to connect with AES first, then TKIP when that fails. Note: AES is a much stronger encryption key vs. TKIP.
It may just be possible that the AES implementation for each router is just off enough to make that setting incompatible.

Iphone wifi connection problem

I just bought an Iphone and when it attempts a wifi connection It asks for a password to my network which I have totally forgotten. When I tried to access the setup site (192.168.1.1) a dialog box popped up with the following message "A username and password are being requested by http://192.168.1.1. The site says: "WRT54GS". I couldn't get to the setup screen because as I said I have forgotten the password. What must I do? My router is WRT54GS and I am running Vista Enterprise. Thanks, Wrogers814

If you forgot the password ....use admin as password without any username ... if that only not works .... you need to reset the router by holding the button for few seconds ....
Make sure that power light should be solid .....
