Connect iPhone 5S to Router

I can't seem to connect my new iPhone 5S to my E1000 router. I have no problem with my laptop or a wireless printer. The WiFi is enabled on the phone and the name of my network shows up as a choice but I get a message 'Unable to join the network "BxxxCxxx". So what do I do? I haven't been anywhere that I could try another network. Thanks for any advice!

I'm sorry for the confusion -- I meant the setup parameters for your router, not your iPhone.
Generally, you can access them by typing in the IP address of your router (usually something like 192.168.1.1) into your web browser to gain access to the login page of your router.
You then enter the administrative password for your router (should be admin unless you've changed it).
Once there, you should be able to view the setup parameters for your router.

Connecting iphone 4s to router

Hi this might be a silly question but i,m just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to connect an iphone 4s to a router that has no internet connection thus using the iphone for wireless broadband?
Many thanks in advance.

No. If you purchase the service from a supported carrier you can use the iPhone as a Personal Hotspot to enable connected devices (e.g., computers and other iOS devices) to access the internet using the iPhone's cellular data plan (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517). I don't think you can connect a router though.

My ipad nor my iphone will connect to the wireless router, and i have no internet connection

In my previous place I had all my Mac Book, iphone and iPad connected through the wireless router. Now in my new place my macbook is connecting occasionally, and my iphone and ipad are not connecting at all, although in "settings" it looks that they are, but when I open the browser it says "safari cannot open page because it is not connected to the internet" What is wrong?

Yes, other users are iphone users.
Where the network shows up settings >>>wifi >>>Office network >>>click the small i in a blue circle click and you will find option to forget network

How to connect iPhone 5 to Netgear router

After spening several hours on the phone with an Apple rep trying to figure out why my new iPhone 5 would not connect to my Netgear router. I decided to google Netgear router and iPhone. I stumbled on this discussion from defiantmacho dated August 2008 -
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1686716?start=0&tstart=0.
I followed this instructions and my iPhone connected within min. I know that it's the long way around the issue but hey it works. If I would have found this on Thursday, I would have save myself so much time. The Apple Support team need to be made aware of these work around instructions.

Ok guys. This is the simple way i used to connect my iPhone to my Netgear router. Netgear can be a pain in the butt!, You should have followed the router's installation instructions to the letter first. Usually you will have to turn your modem and router off, then connect the ethernet cable from the modem (out) to the router (in), and then turn the router on first. Then, turn the modem on a few seconds later. Your computer should then be connected from the router (not the modem) via ethernet as well. After all is done, open your browser and type the address given by your router's instructions (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2), then login. If none of it works, use a pen to reset the Netgear router and repeat everything I mentioned above.
THEN, after all that is set:
1. In your iPhone, go to Settings>General>About. Then, scroll down to "Wi-Fi Address". This is your MAC address. This you will need in order to authorize your phone in your Netgear page (which usually looks something like XXX.XXX.X.X (where "X" are numbers)). I already gave the addresses above.
2. Log in to you Netgear page (remember "admin" as generic username and "password" or "1234" as the generic password?. I am assuming you read the router's instructions, right?. I mean, come on, it's only a double sided page!
3. On the blue left panel of the screen that comes up after user and password entry, click on "Wireless Settings". A new page comes up.
4. Check mark both boxes and click on "Setup Access List".
5. Check mark "Turn Access control On", then click on "Add" to enter the require info needed for your phone to gain access to your network.
6. On "Device Name" I entered "iPhone". This name is irrelevant, so enter whatever name you wish, but keep it simple.
7. Now, on "Mac Address" (the single most important info here) enter the number you obtained in Step 1. Make sure you enter it with the colons (:), although I found out it can be entered without them as well and the page formats it for you .
8. Add and apply, and wait for the blue bar at the top of the screen to do its thing. It will take only a few seconds to update the network.

You can use Photo Transfer App to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad or vice versa using Bluetooth or WiFi

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone will connect to my wireless router in the room where the router is located but won't outside if the room ie my living room for example...any suggestions??

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone 4 will connect to the wireless router as long as I am in the room where the router is located but won't if I'm in a different room...any suggestions?

iPhone 4 does not support 5 GHz
In that case I would manually change the channel the 2.4 GHz is broadcasting.

I have an iphone 4s, and i can not connect to any wirless router through wifi??

i have an iphone 4s and i can not connect to any wirless router using wifi, the only way it to put it in the freezer for a few minutes and the i only get like 5 minutes of wifi time and the the connection drops again and the phone can not even recognize the network??
any help??!!

Seriously...and where did you get this tech tip? You do realize that all iPhone 4S's are still under warranty, although there's a very good chance your freezer trick has tripped a moisture sensor, thus voiding your warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store, but be prepared for bad news. Good luck.

You can't track it if:
1. It' not turned on and connected to internet
2. It's wiped

IPhone 4 Not Staying Connected to my m1424wr router

my iphone 4 is not staying connected to the m1424wr router. how do i start the process with FIOS to check the rouret or get it swapped out?

What version of code do you have on the IPHONE? So, you could be in the middle of downloading email and it will disconnect? What are you seeing? The reason I ask is I have had different rev's of Actiontec, different apple devices and never really had a problem outside of some software fixes I've seen.
Do you live in a house or apartment? Is there interference from other wireless LAN deviecs?

HT4262 My iPhone and iPad have suddenly stopped connecting to my apple router?

My iPhone and iPad have all of sudden started not connecting to my apple router; but they connect fine on the guest n/w I've created on the same router? I've restated the router, changed channels but I'm now a bit lost to understand why after years of use and no problems why devices are now struglging to connect. The wireless network is there it just seems these particluar devices can't now connect. I've tried "forget this network" but nothing seems to work - so any help and suggestions welcome - thanks.

What version of Outlook? What version of iOS do you have on the iPhone? What version of iTunes? Can you think of anything different that you did in Outlook when this ability to sync stopped, i.e. new appointment, recurring appointment, etc.? Have you recently done any updates or installed new software to the computer? Are you aware that all support for XP stops in about 60 days? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have 2 wireless networks in my home. One is the primary whuch all of my devices connect to. The other is for backup only. I cannot connect to the primary with my iMac but have no trouble with any of the other devices which include iphones and ipads.phones and iPads. I can however connect to the backup without a problem. I have tried upgrading the firmware of the router as well as changing the security from WEP to WPA-2, no luck. Can anyone help?

Try this, it's for information.
In Finder, open the Go menu, press and hold the option key, 'Library' will appear on the menu, click and scroll to Application Support, open the folder and scroll to 'AddressBook-v22.abcddb'. Click on the file and press Command-I. Towards the bottom you'll see Permissions, tell me what they are please.

Macbook Pro will not reliably connect to our wifi router - any suggestions?!

Hi
My partner has recently bought a second-hand (but fully functional) Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 to set up in our home office.
Our wireless router is not in the same room (it's in the living room via the hallway) but no other computer or device in the house has any problems detecting and connecting to the router.
My partner's pc netbook and my iPhone 4S connect fine all through the flat. My iMac (located in the office) also has no problems.
We have managed to get the Pro connected to the internet wirelessly a couple of times in the living room (although not all the time) but as soon as it is moved into the office the connection cannot be found or successfully connected to.
Can't help but think that there's some little setting or something that we've not done that is causing the problem - seems odd that all the other devices connecting have never had any issues! I'm not completely technically minded, but have had enough experience with computers to feel fairly confident on them - just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest anything?
The Network Preferences pages don't seem to be any help to me - I've tried several things in there that would usually help to rectify a troublesome connection.
Any help or advice would be so much appreciated - my partner bought this Macbook Pro to replace her netbook and a reliable online connection is paramount as she is designing websites etc. with it!
Thanks,
Jimbanzee

Hi JohnTh
Thanks for your suggestion (and apologies that it's taken forever for me to try this out and get back to you)!
I think I've done what you suggested but I think my lack of computer knowledge is letting me down as it did not work.
I went to Network in System Preferences whilst connected to the internet via Ethernet cable, and managed to connect to my router, I then locked the changes, removed the cable and then restarted but straight away upon logging in, it had lost the changes and was unable to find the wireless connection.
To be honest, it will not always find it when the ethernet cable is plugged in - in fact, I've witnessed it go from green light connection, having found the router and getting an ip address to amber without the ip address to not being able to locate the router (all whilst still plugged in on ethernet) within the space of about two minutes!
I'm a bit hazy on the details of your suggestion when you say:
Go to the wireless setup from here, and change the name to something that you can recognise. Make sure that it is password protected. Save it so that it'll write itself to its flash memory (your network will briefly not work).
I went to the Network page of System Preferences straight away - is there somewhere else I should do the wireless setup? Our wireless connection is (as it is on my iMac which connects fine wirelessly) protected with a WPA2 Personal password.
How do I save it so that the setup will write itself to it's flash memory? Sorry not sure where this is!
I have also tried to remove the 'remembered' network from the advanced airport settings using the '-' button and then adding it '+' back in, but this also does not seem to work.
We are planning on upgrading the operating system from 10.5.8 once we can get a secure connection - my partner is happy that she can connect to the internet via Ethernet cable but she is wanting to sell her PC netbook (in order to part fund the purchase of the Macbook Pro) and she's not happy to do so until she can connect wirelessly successfully!
Finally, thanks for all your help and suggestions - really appreciate it and hope to find a solution!
