Can't Connect to WiFi Network After Changing Encryption

I have an iPod Touch that no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
Some background: I have an aipport extreme base station with three XP laptops, an iMac and a printer connected to it wirelessly. I use a WPA Personal password. My wife's iPhone connects without a problem.
I recently changed the password on the base station to WPA Personal because one of the laptops could not connect using WEP (solution to inconsistent hashing of 13 character password problem found elsewhere in this forum). Ever since changing the password, the iPod touch will not connect.
I have looked for, but cannot find the "Forget Network" button on the wifi network page on the iPod touch (I understand that button appears after you have successfully connected to the network). I have reset the iPod up to and including removing all data.
When I go into the settings>wifi menu, I see the network's SSID. When I input the password, I get a "cannot connect to . . . " message.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks

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.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S. Need help. Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S. Need help. Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated?

Ever since I upgraded to the new iOS6, my phone will no longer connect to my wifi networks. It only works on 3G. Tried to reset networks and various other things to no avail. Not happy ...

I tried the Apple Support recommendation but nothing works, my Ipad mini still can't connect to wifi network, the wifi function in the setting menu it's not available.
I would like to send my device for technical support in USA. I'm live in Venezuela.
How can I do it?
Thank in advance

Can't connect to WiFi networks via tray icon, manually adding works fine

I've searched for about a day for anyone having a similar issue and have come up with nothing so far. I have an older HP laptop with Windows 7 32 bit that is having issues with connecting to WiFi networks. It will find all available wireless
networks just fine, and when I select mine, it comes up with the prompt to enter my password, however when I hit OK to connect, the prompt disappears and nothing happens or responds afterwards. A few things that I've tried in order to troubleshoot and
narrow down the problem:
-I've tried connecting to two different wireless networks; one with WPA2 encryption and one with no encryption, both have the same issue (obviously the non-encrypted wireless network doesn't prompt for a password, but once I hit connect all prompts disappear
and acts as if I did nothing).
-I've added the WPA2 encrypted network manually to my list of wireless networks, and once I do this it connects just fine. When removed, it disconnects and the issue happens again (this confirms that the wireless password I'm entering is correct and
that there are no issues with the wireless network itself, as well as other devices working flawlessly on the same wireless network).
-I've disabled all firewalls and antivirus through this whole process, did not make a difference.
-I've reset winsock which didn't make a difference.
-I've run a virus scan, no viruses on the laptop.
I've run out of ideas as to what would prevent being able to connect to a wireless network through the normal process of finding nearby access points, putting in your password, and having it work. I understand that I could simply leave the wireless
network added manually, but this is not an option for when the laptop is taken elsewhere as having to add whatever wireless network I'm near manually is not something that should have to be done.

I would recommend to update the driver for you wireless nic as a first step. Also, if installed, get rid of third party utilities that 'manage' your wireless network(s)
Also check if you can
clear out the remembered connections i've encountered issues before when a network with same ssid but different connection settings was stored by windows.

Can't connect to wifi network - password problem?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro C2D 2.16, but I can't get it to connect via airport to my wifi network at home. When I use the network setup assistant, i'm prompted to enter the WPA password, but then i get a message saying "password invalid"? If I try connecting through the Internet Connect window, it says: "there was an error joining the airport network"?
After reading through the forums a bit, I tried changing the WPA password, changing to WEP, and even using the open setting, but my MBP still won't connect to my DSL router (Zoom X6 router). My other Windows laptop connects fine.
This is my first Mac, and I'm a bit clueless regarding networking as well, so any advice is appreciated. BTW, I've got OSX 10.4.8 installed.
Macbook Pro 2.16 Mhz C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I solved it! Well, not really - I just did a bit more searching on the forums and found someone else with the same problem - solution: Update the firmware's router, and now my MBP can connect properly, with WPA2.

Some devices won't connect to wifi network after resetting network settings to default

Hi all,
I had to restore to the default settings on my 4th generation Time Capsule today and now half of our devices will not connect to the wifi network. The macbook pro (mid 2010 OS 10.9.4) that I used to reset the time capsule with and my iPhone 6 (8.0.2) both can connect just fine. However, our household's two iPad Airs (8.0.2), an iPhone 4s (iOS 7) and a Macbook (late 2009 OS 10.6.8) all can't connect to the internet. The macbook connects to the network, but an exclamation point appears over the wifi symbol. The two iPads and the 4s won't even connect to the network. I initially named the network the same as before with the same password, but then changed it thinking that might be the issue, to no avail. I've restarted the Time Capsule and all the devices that can't connect. I've also made them forget the network and try to rejoin. The router is connecting with DHCP, it is in bridge mode while connected to a cable modem, and the wireless security is set to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm at my wit's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your cable modem is a pure modem the TC must be in router mode.. ie DHCP and NAT.
It is easy to find out.. check the IP you get on the WAN of the TC in airport utility.
Your limit is because only one or two public IP are available.
If that is the not the problem please give more info.
What modem do you have??
And give some screenshots of the setup .. summary page from the TC and network and Internet tabs.

My steps (iPhone 4S):
1. Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap on my wireless network.
3. Enter password.
4. Tap "Join".
Result: A message comes up with zero delay, saying that it was unable to join the network. No further infromation is provided.
100% positive that password is correct - entered it four times on device, then entered it on laptop and it was accepted there.
100% positive that network is correct - no other networkin range has a name even remotely close to it.

X220 delayed connect to wifi network after boot: windows or intel problem?

Good Morning to all of you! I'm searching for some advice for some problem which is troubling me lately. It's really not a big deal but it's bugging me: Every time I boot my x220 it will take 2-3 minutes to connect to my wifi network. I know it's not a big secret that all this lenovo tools installed are slowing down the computer and as a consequence the wifi software will be started with a delay but maybe someone of you knows a way or two to work around this? Maybe I can somehow prioritize the start of the wifi software?
I appreciate every advice I can get.

SE-YARI- Can't connect to 3G network after having used it for almost an year on the same phone. :(

HI, i use a sony ericsson Yari phone that i bought in March '10, and i have been using BSNL 3G network on it for quite some time now.. But for the past few weeks i can't connect to a 3G HSDPA network. at times the display shows "NO access to network" and at other times i can't make calls from the phone though the phone shows coverage in the top left corner in the display.. My phone has been updated with the latest software upgrades. Reinstalled the software from the SE site through update srvice twice last week. What could possibly be wrong??
My doubts are:
1) Is it a prob i can troubleshoot myself or does it need to be given to the service centre?
2) If it has to be repaired at the service centre, how long will it take them to resolve this prob? I ask this specifically because the last time i gave my phone in for some display prob they took an annoying TWO MONTHS!!
I love my phone.. And i can't live without intrnet on the go.
P.S. Let me put in some additional info.. the phone works fine on the GSM network and the GPRS is ok too. Jus that the slooooow net speeds test my patience.
Yes, my phone supports 3G , my network supports 3G and my sim is a registered 3G sim. (and pls MODS, don't advice me to chek if ther is 3G coverage at my location,coz ther is and i ve been using 3G for quite awhile). The sim and the network work fine on any other phone when i checked(incidentally, on a Sony Ericsson ELM).

I know you checked the SIM in another phone and it seems OK, but it might still be worth trying another 3G SIM in your phone.Otherwise, it could be an issue with the SIM card module in the phone.
