Question: New IPad error message "unable to join network" on my home wifi.
Hi. Bought New IPad and used it on commercial wifi spots like Starbucks, no problem. At home my Linksys sees my wifi network but when I enter password I get "unable to join network" error message. My IPad 2 connects as usual. Same password. No problem.
I rebooted router and then turned on New IPad. Same result. I re-set network settings to factory. Still get "unable to join network". Tried entering Security Key instead of password. No go.
Please help. Thanks.found answer. Choose "other" network. Put Security Key in box asking for Password.
For me, entered WPA and Name of exisitng network. -

Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in). Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3 I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home. I have already tried the following:
turn wi-fi off and on again
did a hard restart of my iPad
reset network connections back to factory settings
verified wi-fi is working as my computer accesses internet without issue.
verified that my software is up to date.
Does anyone have more suggestions?Couple of suggestions.
First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices. I work in such a place. You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings. So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions. -
TS1398 unable to join network error
my ipad 2 has worked great with my wireless router for months. now i keep getting"unable to join network" error. i have reset the iPad and the router with no luck. the router is working fine any ideas?
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
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

we are unable to sign in to iMessages, wifi connection is fine but we get the error message, pls check your network connection. Does anyone know how to fix this
there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working. -

Unable to join network error constant at home

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)"

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).

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.

8gb 4th generation ipod touch is unable to join network
This started a couple days ago after I unplugged and re-plugged my router. The internet works fine on the computer, and on everyone else's phone in the house, but not on my ipod touch. I've tried resetting the network settings (multiple times), and unplugging my router while waiting 30 seconds or so to plug it back in. I do not think it is a password issue because I've entered my correct password multiple times as well and I only receive the "Unable to join the network ____", even when I input the incorrect password so I could test it, it resulted in me getting the "unable to join network" notification again. I don't know what else I can do to fix this problem and I would really appreciate some help on this issue.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Error message - Unable to find proxy server - how can I solve this problem
When I try to enter some sites I get the error message: Unable to find the proxy server, Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found. This happened suddenly and I'm not sure why or how I can fix it, it doesn't help that most help site are blocked. Im using a Mac 10.5.8 and Firefox 15.
You can check the connection settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

I found a fix for this.
Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works. -
Error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection"
I started having the error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection" when I attempt to use search function within a certain apps and when I try to download certain magazine (eg. National geographic). I didn't have this problem with I first started using iPad, and no problems with connectivity when using other apps. Can anyone help?
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
