How do I check a wifi network on my iphone 4S ?

I was in a Dennys restaurant that boasts a free WI-FI network, but couldnt logon to it.  The iPhone saw the net but would not join it.  No-one else could get onto the network either.  This has happened in other locations too. 
My home network is via the Telus phone line. I noticed that on this network, according to Speedtest.net,  the internet speed is not very good, i.e. download 5.96 MB,  Up  0.43 Mb/s,    ping 62ms
Thanks for any ideas on making it easier to join free networks that wont be joined, and speed up access on a slow networks

If others are having problems getting on the network, it's probably a problem on the network, but I think you understand that. If the network is broken and it doesn't belong to you, the only way to 'bypass this' is to disconnect from the WiFi network and use 3G. That or complain to the manager... I doubt that will do you much good. They can barely figure out how to fry eggs, much less do anything with their network.

    Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
    As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
    What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.

  • How do i find the wifi network and password for iphone 4s

    how do i find the wifi network name and passwordfor iphone 4s?

    Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password.  Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear.  Try the factory defaults.

    Thanks, checked all of that at work. It seems from other users I am not alone. Hopefully the updated IOS will fix this. In the meantime, a considerable inconvenience.

  • I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s

    I have an AirPort Extreme running the latest software. I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, my girlfriend's iPhone 4. The only devices that will connect to the network are our MacBook Pros and iPads, (1 and 2). I have reset the airport to default settings, I've restored my iPhone, I've even disabled the password. I am still unable to join my open airport extreme wifi network. PLEASE HELP!

    Saying you tried everything isn't helpful. Perhaps describing in detail what you've done would allow people to better assist you.
    If you're ever experiencing strange problems connecting to any wifi point you can always try resetting your network settings on your iPhone itself. This solves the majority of wifi problems.
    To do this go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will clear all of your saved wifi hotspots and passwords, and hopefully solve your issue.
    Please try this and respond with your results.

  • I am unable to join my own wifi network with new iphone 5

    I am unable to join my own wifi network with new iphone 5.  It has the latest software downloaded too.  Keeps saying unable to join network after I type in the password.  All my other devices are able to join but just not the iphone.  I've called Verizon and my internet provider and they have been unable to help.  I had no problems with my iphone 4 with this very same issue.  Please help or I'll be forced to return this phone.  I have 13 days left.

    Try power-cycling your router (unplug for 15 seconds, then plug back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, and try joining your network again.  Note: resetting network settings will erase passwords for previously joined networks on your phone.

  • I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones.  If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

    I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones.  If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device.  For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
    Please advise,
    Thanks.

    If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol.  If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
    To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it.  Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

  • Since upgrading to latest iOS, my WLAN can not see many wifi networks,  my friends iPhones pick them up easily. What should I do?

    Since upgrading my 4s iPhone to the latest iOS , I now can not see many wi-fi locations beyond my home network.  Friends can find and connect to many wifi networks yet my iPhone does not even see them.  I can not recall prior to the upgrade whether in the settings whether turning on the wifi was shown as wifi or WLAN however the on/off is now WLAN.  Not sure what the difference is.  I totally reset the phone but no improvement.  Can any body help me?

    I have tried this however it did not make a difference.  I found another user on the support pages that has the same issue.

  • How i can check last dialled numbers on my iphone?

    how i can check last dialled numbers on my iphone?

    It should be. When selecting Call for a number and the number starts ringing, the clock has started for being charged for that call. The clock doesn't start when the recipient answers the call as when dialing long distance with a landline.
    There is only one way to know and determine this for certain with your carrier and if your carrier includes such detailed info with your account - checking your online account with your carrier.

  • How to create a bigger wifi network?

    Hello,
    I am a macbook user and I have a virgin superhub in the front room in my house, can I put a airport express at the back of the house and connect to the virgin superhub to get a bigger wifi network and maybe get a wifi signal in the garden?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    but I could do it with 2 airport express units?
    Yes, one AirPort Express would need to be located in the vicinity of the hub. In order to extend wirelessly, the second AirPort Express would need to be located approximately half way between the first Express and the garden area.
    Any walls, ceilings, or other obstructions in the signal path between the AirPorts and the garden area will really absorb the signal quickly, so you will need to minimize obstructions as much as possible.
    You never really know how well....or if....wireless connections will work for your purposes until you try things out in your home. For that reason, if you decide to give it a try with two AirPorts, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

  • How to "forget" previously used WiFi networks

    Can anyone suggest how to remove the use/name of a wifi network I have used previously from the "connect via" screen when I want to connect to the internet or something like that.
    I have applied a filter in the WLAN wizrd (which I think should block it, unless someone can tell me differently) but it still gets listed.
    This happens when im around the network or not.
    This is on the E66, but also applies to the E71.
    Thanks
