Unplug it from power, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in. Wait 1 minute. Try to connect.

HT5569 After ios 7.0.6 update iPad won't connect to my home wifi.

I have just updated my iPad (retina display, one before the air) to iOS 7.0.6 and now it won't connect to my home wifi. I have never had a problem before. I pressed forget network and tried reconnecting. It asks for password but will not connect. Any help would be great.

Alas, this has not resolved the issue for me.
Oddly, my iPad mini (1st gen) CAN connect to the WPA2-Enterprise network at work and it connects at Starbucks (open wifi).
It fails (asks for password then "cannot join network") on my wpa2-personal-secured home network and on McDonald's open wifi network (nearest other place I could test. Honest.).
I've done the network settings reset, the machine hard reboot, forget networks, reset my router and time capsule repeatedly (obviously, can't reset McDonald's), to no avail.
I love shoddy work: nice update, Apple!

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

My Droid won't connect to my home wifi. What should i DO?

I've tried, resetting the phone and powering off and on but it still won't connect to my wifi. Other devices in my home connect to the wifi but this phone will not. It's a replacement they sent me and my old phone still connects. It also is running on 3g and not 4g.

Any luck with the phone yet?
Will it get recognized by PC?
If so , I would do a compete firmware reinstall with RSDlite and latest official VZW ROM file for the phone.
That will totally restore the phone to new, wiping out anything that might have been messed up.
If you are not tech savvy, you can try stopping in VZW store that has tech support to ask if they can restore with ROM file. I would call first to make sure they will do it and can do it.

TS1398 My iPhone 4 won't connect to my home WiFi, but all my other devices are connecting to it just fine. Please help!

Hey everyone, I have been having this problem for about a day or two now. I have an iPhone 4, and have iOS 7.1.2. Basically, my iPhone will connect to my home WiFi sometimes, but it randomly loses connection and won't connect for hours upon hours. I have tried turning it on and off multiple times as well as resetting the network settings. I know that it is not my network's problem because a member of my family has an iPhone 5S, and it works fine with the WiFi, along with all of my other devices. This issue is getting very annoying as I don't like to use my cellular data at home since it is limited. Please help me!!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
What happens when it fail to connect?
----- 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.

My iPad first gen (iOS5.1.1) won't connect to my home WiFi suddenly. It's worked fine for years but just stopped. All other devices do connect to the WiFi. Now, the iPad does connect to the WiFi at my workplace. Ideas on this?

My iPad (first generation iOS5.1.1.1) quit connecting to my home WiFi recently after years of being able to. All other devices in my home connect fine. I have taken every step I can find to try and remedy things including restoring my iPad to factory settings. Still nothing - when it tries to connect to my network it just spins. I took my iPad to work and it connected to the WiFi there just fine. Came back home, no good. After talking with my local Mac supplier they've suggested that maybe my router is the cause. I've unplugged it several times for lengths of up to an hour but that still isn't getting things working again. Any ideas?

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 droping 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

My Iphone 5 all of a sudden won't connect to my home wifi.

About a week ago, my phone stopped connecting to my home wifi. Every time I try and connect to it, a message pops up that says unable to connect. I've tried restarting my phone, resetting my network settings, turning the data off, turning airplane mode on and nothing is working. My phone will connect to any other network with no problem. When I took it to Verizon they told me to make sure my software was up to date, which I did and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?

Your home wifi may possibly be having issues. Call the company that does your wifi and they should send someone out to service it.

Palm TX won't connect to computer via WiFi for Hotsync

I've tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even when I put in the IP address.
My wireless network sees the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it won't connect to my computers. Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Palm TX
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here's my Wifi Hotsync help file:
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.
On your TX, check these settings from the pull-down menu in Hotsync:
Modem Sync: Network
LanSync: :LANSync
Network Setup: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

My 8gb Ipod Touch 4g won't connect to my home wifi

I've selected the right network, typed in the right password and it won't connect.
And it's the strongest signal out of all the networks, the network itself is very strong.
This message comes up 'Unable to join network ...'
I know my ipod touch will connect to other wifi networks as I accidently connected to my neighbour's wifi, so I know it works. Obviously I want to use my own wifi network.
Any ideas of how to get it to work?

I am having the same problem as BexziJayne and so I followed the same instructions. But it still is doing the same thing.
My IPod will connect easily and quickly to any other WIFi but when I am at home, even though I've typed in the correct password, it basically remains in 'thinking' or 'connecting' mode. Basically, in Settings --> beside WI-Fi, it shows my network name, but if I click on it, you can see in the next screen that it is still thinking about connecting. My IPod even shows 3 blue bars in the upper left hand corner, which indicates that it is connected.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks

My Macbook pro won't connect to any other wifi except my home wifi.

Everywhere I go , my computer wont connect to any other wifi . I'm currently visiting a friend in Florida and I tried connecting to her wifi and it says it's connect but there is no internet connection . I know her router is fine because my iPhone is running off of it perfectly but it won't let me use internet on my Mac .

I suggest you try to join the Network at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store. Be sure to make an appointment, as they can be crazy-busy. It's free.

Macbook, 10.6.8: Won't connect to home unsecured wifi

The network may well be set up without password, but it still may have some encryption. Have you tried some of these options?

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My ipad won't connect to my home wifi; it will in coffee shops, etc

Even though it used to, my iPad will no longer connect to my home wifi network; it won't even give me the option of tying in a password; it just keeps going to a page marked "IP Address"; it DOES work in coffee shops, grocery stores and anywhere else there's free wifi

All my other devices connect just fine -- iPhone, laptop, computer, etc.

TS1398 My Ipod won't connect to my home wifi.

I just got a brand new 5th generation Ipod and it won't connect to my Wifi for some reason. All of my other devices connect just fine with the password that I provide etc. but this one refuses to. When I try to connect it let's me type in the password but doesnt let me hit 'join' at all. And when I go straight to Safari and enter my password (this is the only time I'm allowed to hit join) it says unable to connect. Is anyone else experiencing this?
