'unable to join the network...' wifi network error ! please help, 'unable to join the network...' wifi network error ! please help

im on pay as you go.. still trying to set up wifi to my home network.. im putting in the password (sky broadband) and i keep getting the message
Unable to join the network...
driving me crazy now - please help !

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

  • I had no problem with my IPad 3 connecting to my wi-fi but for some reason lately it tell me can not connect to network.  I reset both my wifi and my ipad and I still get the same error.

    I've had my IPad 3 for awhile and had no problems with it.  The other day I went to connect to my wi-fi and it told me could not connect to network.  It recognizes my wi-fi but won't connect.  I have shut off my wi-fi and still the same problem.  Today I reset my ipad back to factory and when I get to the wifi setup I still get unable to join the network.  What is wrong

    Dont use a password to connect the ipad and try if unable to join happens try another network. After that it is a repair. Now most likely it is the password on router. typically you access your router with http://192.168.1.1/ BUT it may be different if you changed it or your router uses different one.

  • HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again.  The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

    I can send but cannot recieve email
    This is the messege I am gewtting:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
    The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
    The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

    Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

  • A connection timeout occurred. I have been receiving this error when trying to connect to the open wifi connection at my university. My wifi works perfect when I am using it on my home network. I have tried all the suggestions in forums online no luck.

    I am getting a connection timeout occurred message on my mid-2009 macbook pro I am running mountain lion 10.8.2 but problem occured before and after update. The message only happens when i attempt to connect to the wifi at my university. It works normal at my home. This error just started last semester out the blue. I have read many forums and non have helped ive reset my pram a few times, ive deleted all my networks including my home network out of my system preferences<network and all that extra stuff. if anyone has a clue please help me because one of my classes requires me to take in class test over the internet. Thanks for reading. If anyone can help PLEASE help ive been trying to fix for last few months.

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro has error while joining domain, while windows 7 pro has no problem to join in the same network

    I am having the same issue as posted in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/6ea57e5f-6e9d-49bd-9dd7-832ea84c0276/windows-81-pro-will-not-join-domain?forum=w8itpronetworking
    There are a few other people have the same issues.  However there was no real solution provided although the post was marked as answered.  I am posting it here again and hopefully I can get some help to solve this issue.
    We got two new PCs, one with windows 7 and the other with windows 8.1 Pro.  In the same network with domain, the windows 7 pc has no problem at all to join the domain.  However the windows 8.1 Pro won't join the domain. On the windows 8.1 Pro computer,
    I can ping the other computers in the network.  The error message says:
    An Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain "cmi" could not be contacted. ...
    In my case, the domain name is "CMI".  I am sure the DNS setting is correct.  What did I do wrong?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I tried the solution in that article.
    In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters folder, there is no
    NeutralizeNT4Emulator.  So I followed the instructions and created one, and set the value to 1. Then I restarted the computer and tried to join the domain again.  I got the same error.  Below is more from the netsetup log file:

  • TS1398 when i update my software to 6.1.3(10B329)to I phone 4s the wifi is not working and not auto join the network that i have already connected to

    when i update my software to 6.1.3(10B329)to I phone 4s the wifi is not working and not auto join the network that i have already connected to

    First, grow up.  Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software.  I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know.  And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working?  It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive.  Not Apple's.
    We're users here, volunteering our time to help others.  Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help.  Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
    Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
    Good luck getting help.

  • Downloaded 8.0.2, able to continue to connect to internet via wifi for approx. 2 hours, then, wham, no wifi connection, and when I attempt to join my wifi network, and enter my code, i am told that the code is incorrect.  I rebooted my IPad 3, nogo!

    I uploaded 8.0.2, able to continue to use my IPad 3, use internet, WiFi connectivity OK.  Then, about 1 1/2 hours later, I loose internet connection, and WiFi connectivity.   I rebooted the IPad and attempted to rejoin my WiFi network...no go, message says my password is wrong!!  I then, pursuant to a suggestion in the message boards, entered "Forget Network" and then attempted to again join my WiFi.   Again, message says "password is wrong"   Password is correct; I am on the internet on my desktop via my WiFi network!!    Is the 8.0.2 "update" defective and/or compromised??     My partner, who has an IPad Air, also updated to 8.0.2 this afternoon and has had the same problem!!!

    Actually, we up-loaded the new OS in the early evening!   We now have WiFi connectivity, and this is how it was achieved:   turned off the power to our WiFi modem, then turned it back on; wifi booted up; in IPad's Settings, WiFi:  toggled the Wi-Fi button off, waited a short while and toggled it back on; choose our network and entered our passcode...IPad finally accepted the passcode.  However, at the top left-hand portion of the screen, we now have a "No Service" statement, yet we are wifi connected and have internet service on our various apps!

  • Iphone 4s was unable to detect any wifi networks and was told to pay £159 to get the entire phone replaced, should i do it?

    My iphone 4s does not detect any wifi networks but the apple genius said that the wifi signal seems to be fine but it just is not detecting any wifi networks and because I cannot find my receipt for the phone and the apple store only dates back purchases up to 18months ago, is there a way i can obtain my receipt?

    If your warranty is up, the replaced iPhone will have a 90 day warranty.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service Fee listed below.
    Please note Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fees from your carrier may be different than those listed below.
    iPhone Model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
    iPhone 5
    £ 216.44
    iPhone 4s
    £ 166.44
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G
    £ 126.44
    The Out-of-Warranty Service Fee includes a £ 7.44 shipping fee, which applies only if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in British pound sterling and include VAT. iPhone Out-of-Warranty Service may also be available from your wireless carrier. Pricing may vary.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorisation for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • The wifi has been lost or disconnected on my iPad. It's the iPad 2 and has not been updated yet. It's IOS 6.1.3 .. how do I add a network back onto it? I have typed in the name and chosen each of the securities and still hasn't connected!

    Hey there Luba_kalstad,
    It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    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 Wi-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.
    And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
    Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
    Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
    If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
    Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. I reset my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do i do???

    I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. i rest my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device 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 your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    For the future, saying you tried everything provides use with zero info as to what you did try. If you really tried everything then there is no way we could help

  • Laptop joins network, connects to the internet but iPad/iPhone cannot access internet though on the network...

    My laptop joins the network I created and connects to the internet via my Airport Extreme but for some reason my iPad and iPhone cannot access the internet even through they have joined the network. What's gone wrong?

    Troubleshoot Internet Connection Problems at Microsoft.com
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-Internet-connection-problems
    You can also check the following:
    * Your modem and/or router are both on and are not indicating errors. The problem may be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for more information.
    * If you are using a wireless connection, that you are using the correct access point.
    * Your Domain Name System (DNS) server translates web addresses (URLs) into IP addresses and is usually provided by your ISP. If the DNS server is overloaded, you may be unable to view some or all websites. For example, if http://74.125.53.99 or http://74.125.159.105 work but http://www.google.com doesn't, you may have a DNS problem. You can use an alternative service such as OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/) or Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/).
    * Whether your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is blocking connections to the Internet. For instructions on how to configure some programs, see the Firewalls article (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls).
    Check and tell if its working.
