Can't connect Home Wifi

I am unable to connect my new iPod Touch 2nd Gen to my home network. It connects fine on other networks but not mine. My router is a Linksys WRT54GS version 6. When searching for my network, it appears and I enter the key. It takes about 10 minutes for it to get the IP Address and Subnet mask but it never gets further. The network is protected with WPA Personal TKIP if that is any help. Is there anything wrong with my network? Any tips would be great!
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Really hoping you can help.
I spent a lot of time trying to connect my son's new Touch (2nd Gen 16g) to our home wireless network, but having a few problems.
I'm using a dlink DAP-1150 access point. Currently has Toshiba laptop with vista connected using WPA Personal security.
On iPod I can see secured network Ok. After a few attempts at entering the really long passphrase (both in lower & uppercase), I took security off the DAP1150, & it now worked.
Prob is I don't want to leave that way. So I tried again with WPA changing passphrase to something easier...stll no luck.
Tried other types WPA 2 & enterprise - always getting message that password is wrong.
Finally tried WEP & it worked...GREAT (I thought)
Now Laptop can't be connected using this.
So now I have problem, reverted back to WPA security & laptop is Ok.
But still can;t get Touch to connect.
I thought of getting another access point, one on WPA & one WEP but seems extreme.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  • IPhone can't connect to wifi at home

    periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house.  We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem.   Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones.  Do I have a bad router?  

    From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

  • TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

    Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

    I had the same problem.  I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work.  My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help.  I did that & it solved the problem.  I have not had the problem since.

  • IPhone 4s and can't connect to wifi,wifi is grayed out and says "No wifi".FREEZER TRICK WORKS!

    Anyone having the same problem?My iPhone 4s its not 6 months old!

    Try restoring your phone usng DFU mode. Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.

  • Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with iPhone 5

    Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with my iPhone 5. My iPad 3 works fine. When I enter the wifi password for the network I always get the error message "Incorrect password for XYZ". No problem with iPad 3.

    Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

  • My daugter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi

    My daughter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi or make any calls.  We added International Calling to her phone plan.  While she was in the airport in the US the problem started, and continued once she reached her destination.  Verizon can't figure out what the problem is, and I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

    Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

    This does not work in my case.
    Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
    The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
    Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
    The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
    That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

  • IPhone 6 can't connect to WIFI anymore

    Ok, since my iPhone 5 has been updated to 6.1, it can't connect to WIFI networks anymore and from time to time restarts for no reason.
    I tried to restore from iTunes, and now I wan't to back it up from iCloud, which can't happen without WIFI.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the exact same problem. There are countless other threads on this and I have tried all the tricks in the book to get it to work again. With no success. I cannot connect to any wifi router (home, work, public...). I also restored the phone various times and now can't backup from iCloud because of missing Wifi. This is extremely frustrating. I really hope Apple puts out an iOS update very soon as this issue as all but new.

    Try a soft reset or turn the device completely off then turn it back on again. Also you can toggle Airplane mode on for about 10 seconds and then turn it off. Sometimes that resets the radio signal inside the device.
    A soft reset is basically holding onto the power button and the home button simultaneously together for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen flash and it should go completely black. Afterwards, tun the device back on like normally and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Can't connect to wifi hotspots

    After I updated my OX I can no longer connect to wifi hot spots.
    I contacted apple support and they told me to put "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" and "preferences.plist" from the library folder to my desktop and restart my computer.
    I did nothing. I still can't connect to wifi. When I click net network preferences, under wifi,there is a yellow circle, not green.
    Can someone tell me what the problem is? I can't work in libraries and cafes anymore!
