Connecting to home WiFi network
I have a MacBook 13", an iPhone 4 and an iPad 64 GB WiFi connected to my wireless network. I am using a LinkSys BEFW1154 version 2 wireless router. I just purchased another iPad 64 GB WiFi/3G. I cannot get the new iPad to connect to the wireless network. I enter the password, which I have checked, and it says it is not the correct password. Any suggestions.

This type of thing keeps happening to me with my iPhone (3G, 4.3.5). I join my home WiFi with no problems, download email, surf, whatever. Then put phone down and do something else.
Next time I go to iPhone the little wheels go round and round and NOTHING happens. I have to keep switching it off and on again and repeat the loop, again and again .... Why is this?
Rather than hijack cotton70's thread with an unrelated problem on an IPhone (this is the iPad forum and cotton70 can't connect) why not start a new thread for your problem in the iPhone forum?

IPhone4 can't "see" or connect to home WiFi network (AirPort)
Hi,
I recently moved to an apartment building. When I was at my parents, we used my Airport Extreme (about 3 years old) for a home network. All three iPhone4's in the house, two PC's, two Macbook Pro's and a first gen iPod Touch all connected without issue.
Since moving, I've hooked up my Airport Extreme and did a firmware update I'd been prompted to do for a few months, but have been ignoring, via Macbook pro. I went to connect my iPhone, and it could no longer find the network. The two Macbook pro's in the apartment connect without issue, however my iPhone4 is not connecting - it can't even "see" or "find" the network!
I don't believe it's a WiFi card issue in the phone, as I can see a number of secure wifi networks in the building, and my phone connects without issue to an unsecured one, Starbucks, friend's networks, etc. However, it can't see my home network; and if I try to connect by manually entering the network name/password it says it can't find the network (which is clearly in existance and working, as I'm on it right now on the Macbook).
I have the latest iOS on my iPhone, and have tried the following (many due to other threads on these boards):
Restarting the modem/router
Restarting the router only
Reseting the iPhone network settings
Downgrading the base station firmware from 7.6.1 (the update I did tonight while setting up the router) to 7.6, 7.5.2, and 7.4.2
Elimintating the newly created guest network
Setting the channels myself
Using it as an open network
Resetting the airport network settings to factory and reconfiguring the network
Standing next to the router
Putting the phone on top of the router
I'm fresh out of ideas, and really, REALLY frusterated.
Any insight or suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks,
LaurenI was having the same problem... Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Forget and reconnect the netwrok doean't solve the problem.
Even Network Reset recommended in others iPad user in the forum can't help as well.
Please advice. Thanks.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

Just got an iPhone 3GS, How do I connect to home WiFi network?
I posted this in the network discussion as well, but wasn't getting answers and I need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
I just got my brand new iPhone 3GS. I just recently finished fully charging it and activating it. I am exploring my new device but I am getting extremely frustrated as to connecting to WiFi. I want to use WiFi for web browsing, but when I go to WiFi on my iPhone it says No Networks (or something of the sort). I try to enter in the name of my network (which I know). But I don't know what kind of security OR the password to the network.
I really want to enjoy this phone/gadget but I don't know how to set it up to connect to my network.
Can somebody help me in telling me where I can find the security type and password to my network.
Thanks!Sounds like you (or a buddy who helped you) setup your home network to Cloak its SSID (name). Thus as you said, you need to manually enter it.
But from there, you will also need to know any Key (password) you set on it to join.
If you don't know those items, not much we can do to help (now I could always drive on by fire up airrack-ng suite and break in for ya)
You can always go to your computer, try to access your router (odds are http://192.168.1.1 ) via your browser.
Then see what settings you can get to.
If it was locked down, then I suggest going to your routers website and read up how to reset the router (odds are button on back you have to hold in for 10 secs) which will reset the router back to default settings.
All devices will then have to re-join your default network (real manual that came with router or get one online before resetting).

You might want to re-post your question in the iPhone subforum. By accident, you ended up in the iPhone forum.
Good luck finding your router! -
New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network
I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

Hope this helps. -
My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.
Hello krosebear,

My phone will no longer connect with my home wifi network
any advice, all of a sudden I only get 3G service in my home while my laptop, printer, and wifes Kindle still are able to connect to the wifi network. Anyone ever seen this?
I reenter the password to the network and the phones still dont connect.
Thoughts?Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. If this doesn't solve the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore
You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password -
I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.
I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

IPad connects to free WiFi Hotspots, but NOT on my home WiFi network
First, let me say that I have my iMac and a PC laptop working on my home WiFi network with no problems. My iPad connected to my home WiFi network for several months until about a week ago or so, somewhere around the time that I updated my iPad to OS 4.3.3.
In the General settings section I have reset the NETWORK setting several times to no avail. I changed my network SSID twice, and changed my WAP2 password 3 times. My iMac and PC laptop worked like a charm for each change. But, like I said, my iPad has no issues connecting to free WiFi hotspots like at coffee shops, but "cannot join my Clearwire WiFi network" at home.
My guess is that I have an OS issue, but if anybody knows anything better, please let me know.
Thank you.I think the OS issue is with the password because free WiFi hotspots don't require passwords. So, all of my RF circuits are fine. My password is correct because when I changed it in the Clearwire WiMax modem\router, I was able to connect with the new password on my iMac and PC laptop with no problems.
I have a 3 month old Clearwire 4G modem\router. My iPad worked great from the day I installed it. It stopped working around the time that I updated my iPad OS to 4.3.3.
I am hoping that there is an OS fix because I had Clearwire on the phone for over an hour and we re-booted the modem\router several times and reset it to its default values. Again, I have no problems connecting with my iMac or PC laptop. They work like a charm, just like my iPad used to. -
