Another Iphone topic with unable to join network

Yes, I have reset the iphone and router
Yes, I have unsecured the network and was able to join, but once I secured it...I get the unable to join
Yes, I have updated the firmware and cycled the power on my WRT54GS
Yes, I have tried lower case letter in the password
Yes, I have created a static IP and entered the information
Yes, the security on the WRT54GS is WPA
Yes, I have check to see if the wireless channel was in 1 or 11
Anything else??

Dingle, I currently share your problem; however... I was able to login to networks ONCE. The first time. The phone was new (just got it a few days ago), and I joined the network at work, and one in another office. Happy connects. Successful connects. Never again though. Now I get the 'unable to join network error' consistently when I try to join these very same networks. I have reset my network settings. Turned off 3G capabilities (since it's another thing that I've noticed changed since those few early days of new phone, that is, I noticed 3G receptivity is on all the time now with high bars, although when I first got the phone I got ATT, E, the dot, and 3G... they all took turns). The error remains. I wonder if it's an app that I may have installed. I also just connected the phone to my Mac for the first time, but that was post 'unable to join network' error. webapp?? Could it be a memory issue? I don't even know how to refresh cache (or if one even exists).

  • Iphone 5 wifi unable to join network

    iphone 5 wifi unable to join network issue
    I am an engineer and I have tried every tweek to my airport router and unles you are standing 10ft from the ruter you get the  unable to join network messsage.
    naturally it work fine at the Apple Store who preformed a full reset on the phone. Other people are having this issue same a me and apple chooses not to acknowledge it, Maybe they will when I contact the consumer journalists at CNN ABC CBS & NBC news they love to here about Apple problems remember the Iphone 4 antenna issues!
    APPLE ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!!!
    AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND SAY YOU ARE WORKING ON IT.
    THINKOF IT THIS WAY
    PEOPLE ARE GETTING PHONES EXCHANGED OUT AT APPLE STORES AND THE CARRIERS ONLY TO FIND THAT CHANGING THE PHONE DOES NOTHING REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS COSTING YOU MONEY AND WASTING YOUR STORE PERSONNELS TIME TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE HOME OFFICE CAN FIX!

    Dear Engineer...Apple does not read these posts.  We are end users just like you

  • I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.

    I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.

    Are there other devices that can connect to your Wi-Fi and work just fine?
    You can troubleshoot this using http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 as well. If you need to restore your iPhone at all, use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US and set it up as new to see if this still happens. If it does, you might need a replacement

  • My iphone 3gs says "unable to join network "

    My iphone 3 g  would not  join the network after my orange livebox was factory reset. I have tried all the usual iphone resets but still " unable to join network ". I change to wpa-personal but nothing.My sons iphone 3 g joins no problem so it must be an iphone issue. Its warranty expired april and was advise by apple to buy another phone ! bit expensive option ! Right now I am rething whether to continue the apple route.Anyone have any ideas how to resolve ?

    Hi, the livebox has two buttons . One is a reset and the other a wifi button that's all. What baffles me is that when my son factory reset the livebox [ by insering a paperclip end in the little hole] that's when I lost network contact BUT his iphone 3g became enabled but not mine ! bizarre ! Appreciate your ideas  !

  • IPad mini wifi cellar with 6.0.2 "unable to join network"

    iPad mini wifi cellar with 6.0.2 "unable to join network"
    my router is DLink Dir-615, and the iPhone 4(ios5.x),iPad2(ios5.x) and notbooks(windows 7) can connect to the router successfully.
    And I tried to reset iPad mini's network, even reset all the settings, but still no luck.
    I doubt it is the hardware issue of iPad mini. Pleasesssssssssssssse, HELP ME OUT OF IT.
    plus, I tried setting virtual host with Windows 7, still no luck.

    Wireless Radio : Enabled
    802.11 Mode :Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
    Channel Width :20MHz
    Channel :13
    WISH :Active
    Wi-Fi Protected Setup :Enabled/Configured
    These are my settings! (copy paste)
    What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer.  So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
    EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection  What does it mean?

  • I have an iPad 2 v6.1.3 that has a problem with connecting to wi-fi.  My other I macs have no problem with connecting.  The pad keeps coming up with unable to join the network. Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network.

    My other Imacs and my wife's Ipad 3 have no problem with conneccting.  My Ipad keeps coming up with unable to join the network.  Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network.  A couple minutes ago, it connected for 10 seconds, then dropped the connection.  Is there a way to reconfigure the Ipad to fix this major problem, as we dropped our carrier (saved a bunch of money) and just went wifi.
    Thanks so much for any help with resolving my connection problem.

  • Ipad unable to join network

    iPad mini, using my network just fine for several weeks now.  Was having a problem with online games loading, so went to wi-fi settings and clicked "Renew Lease".  Now I can no longer connect.  Keeps telling me "unable to join network".  Laptop connects fine.  Turned iPad off, forgot network, nothing works.

    Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Unable to join network error constant at home

    IOS6 with latest updates on 1Phone 5. I can never hold wifi at my home on iPhone for more than a few days without getting "unable to join network" Dismissng and resetting with new password never works. Always have to do hard reset to phone & router to eventually reconnect.
    Do not have this phone wityh my iPad (laster version & IOS)
    Wasn't the last software update supposed to fix this widespread issue?

    "Do not have this PROBLEM with my iPad (latest version & IOS)"

  • Everytime i try to connect to wifi it says unable to join network

    Everytime I try to connect to my wifi it says unable to join network, my iphone did this to but then I had my router firmware upgraded. So it shouldnt be that.

    If you are unable to select Forget This Network for the network on your iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPad for every wi-fi network you have connected your iPad with.
    If no change after this, do you connect your iPad to any other wi-fi network besides your own? If so, any problem connecting your iPad with any other wi-fi network?

  • Always able to access wi fi except one says unable to join network

    Says I am unable to join network doesn't give me the password box just says unable to join network

    It may be that the battery is the issue. I am having the same problems - unable to log in to my WIFI at home, which I have never had an issue with until yesterday, when I started getting the "Unable to access XXX network".
    I have tried everything including full iphone restore and router factory restore, but nothing. I did note that after having the phone switched off overnight, I was able to access my wireless network for about fifteen minutes then it just dropped the connection and now I am back to no access whatsoever.
    Take a read here:
    http://www.applesource.com.au/iphone/soa/iPhone-Wi-Fi-failures-caused-by-battery -heat-/0,2000070787,339295984,00.htm
    It is one of many internet postings on this issue and would make sense of the posting above mine..
    I'm going to try reverting to 2.2.0 - people such as Leo Laporte on Macbreak Weekly have been complaining of battery issues since upgrading to 2.2.1

  • Unable to join network on Iphone5

    sudenly my iPhone 5 gives this message "Unable to Join the network ..." when i try to join my WiFi at home. i tried resetting the router, rest the network settings on my iPhone, but still get same error message.

    This might work for some of you. I'm pretty sure most of these issues are caused by the type of Wireless Security and the Radio mode of the router. I had to rule out a lot of enviromental factors to get my problem fixed—type of case, the walls or how I was holding the phone.
    I had 2 random problems with the WiFi of my iPhone 5 (6.1.3):
    • "Unable to join network ..."
    • If it did connect, it had a very poor ping+up/down speeds (lots of Speedtest.net results)
    My home network setup:
    • 2nd gen Airport Extreme (7.6.3)
    • Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    • Network extended with an Airport Express (7.6.3)
    • Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g Compatible)
    • Radio Channel: Auto
    • Location: AEBS is in the basement and the Express is on 2nd floor.
    • Router Mode: DHCP & NAT with a 365 days for the lease on each IP
    • The Airport Express is setup to "Extend a wireless network"
    I have 2 other iOS 6 devices and 3 other Macs which have no problem connecting to the above setup. The iPhone 5 on the other hand either couldn't connect or when it did, it would have a very poor connection. It always forced me to switch to LTE.
    After many months of putting up with this problem on my phone, I finally gave up and booked an appointment at the Apple store. They wiped the phone and did the usual test with the Apple store WiFi which is freaky fast. The phone had no problems using their open network—both before or after the wipe. I was pretty disapointed after wasting 2 hours of my day.
    I came home hoping the problem had gone away. Nope. "Unable to join ..." ARGHHhh... One of the solutions that people have suggested is to switch to an unsecure WiFi. That's not heppning here. So, I decided to play around with the settings and see what works and this is what FIXED my problem:
    • Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5GHz)
    • Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    That's it. After the reset of both the base station and the Express, my iPhone 5 has been connected for a few hours without any problems. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting a few times and so far so good. I hope this works for some of you.

    please guide me with your professional opinion . is this some sort of software glitch or hardware problem ? thanks

    I don't know if this will work for you but I bought a new iPad Mini 3 this past week and I have Verizon Mifi. My new iPad mini3 would try to connect but couldn't. I went back to Verizon and the tech selected the option "Forget this network." When she did that, my Mifi came up again by itself. My iPad was searching for a connection and my Mifi showed up. After the connection showed up on it's own again, the tech was able to select the network and then selected the option to put in the password and that fixed the problem. I would have never thought selecting "Forget this network" would have worked but it did. I don't know if that will work for you.

  • IPad 2 can't connect to WiFi/unable to join network

    The iPad 2 (WiFi only) initially had no problems whatsoever in the first several months after I bought it. Then I didn't use Internet on the iPad for 2-3 months, as there was no WiFi for that time. Now when I try to connect it to my WiFi, it either temporarily connects with a slow, patchy connection (spinning processing symbol on the top left corner) or the "Unable to join network" message pops up. All my other iDevices connect perfectly at a high speed. I have tried the following to no avail:
    Reset network settings
    Reset all settings
    Turned router off/on
    Same room as router
    Forget network
    Turned WiFi settings off/on
    Restored to factory settings 3X
    Changed WiFi password
    Changed WiFi security
    Changed WiFi name

    Can't turn off router at the hotel, it hasn't worked at any wifi hotspot. I just never really monkey with it.
