I am unable to join my home network after updating my 3gs to ios 5.1

I updated yesterday to ios 5.1 and now I am unable to join my home network. I have reset network connections, restarted, entered correct name and passwords and get the message "unable to join ____".  i didn't have this problem until the update. Any other suggestions?

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.

  • HT5569 My iPad refuses to join my home network, after I had connected to a local bar's network. What's wrong?

    My Mini iPad refuses to connect to my home network. I was at a local bar last night and connected to their network automatically. When I came home, it wouldn't connect to my network. I have the big iPad with retina display also. It was connected to the network until I disconnected a few minutes ago. Then it would not longer connect.
    Both iPads are running ios 7.0,4    Any ideas about what's wrong?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Try to power cycle your router. Meaning unplug it, count to 10, plug it back in. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
    You can also reset your iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    If that doesn't work, go into the settings and wifi. Tap on your home network name and tell your iPad to forget it. Then exit the settings and go back in. You should see your home network again and try to join again.

  • 10.6.8 Unable to log into the network after update

    07-31-2011
    Server: 10.6.8
    Client 10.6.8
    Just installed the latest updates for my snow leopard server and it will not accept my network login. I have quadruple checked the credentials and then some but it appears to accept the username and pass, displays the user avatar and then the dialogue box shakes displaying the error message:
    "Logging into the account failed because an error ocurred"
    It's not a very descriptive message but I checked online for some help but couldn't find much. This issue specifically happened after the latest server updates. I know I could use time machine and fix it, I fixed it before that way, but I would like to find a resolution for this issue if there is one.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    After contacting Apple support I was told to rebind the machine to the server which did work initially. I was able to log in with my network login but when i shut down the machine later and tried to boot up and log back in, i was presented with the same error.
    I attempted the same resolution and rebinded the machine but this time it didn't work. I tried multiple times but have had no success.

  • I am unable to complete setup after updating iphone 3GS to IOS 6.16.

    I have been using an iPhone 3GS in an art gallery for processing credit cards via WIFI. I am not using the phone on cellular and it has no SIM card. The other day I received a message about a "mandatory software update" so I proceeded to do the update. When I got back to the phone, it showed a screen that said IOS 6 and the "slide to set up" when I did that, it said I had to connect to iTunes. I was unable to connect to a computer and the device was not able to connect to the internet for WIFI. When I tried to connect to a computer and iTunes, the phone was not recognized by the computer. The phone is connected to the computer right now and is cycling between a black screen and the apple icon. I won't go anywhere else.
    I have tried the two-button reset and it does not work.
    It seems that the update has bricked the phone. Is there anything I can do to revive it?

    Oh ...
    That makes it difficult. My new (working) phone is a 4S and the SIM card does not fit. The old SIM card is in the 3GS but as far as I know it was was deactivated.
    But it seems that with other updates over the last couple of years this was not necessary and my partner went through the same update with her 3GS with no problems.
    Should I go to my AT&T dealer and purchase a new SIM card? Is there still a new one available?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4.  I am able to access my network with all of my other devices.  How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4.

    I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4.  I am able to access my network with all of my other devices.  How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4?

    Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
    Bruce's  instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
    - delete any previously set up printers
    - scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
    - remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
    - reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
    - print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
    - got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
    - go to the sys pref > print scan
    - add the HP 8000 printer
    - click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
    - click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
    - finish (this page may freeze up.  close the browser)
    - go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
    - go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x).  Check that the SSID is your network
    - go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
    - try printing something to your printer.  It might take a little time the first print.

  • IPhone won't automatically join my home network

    My original iPhone (not 3g) won't seem to automatically join my home network. I can only join if I go into network settings and tell it to. It does, however, join other trusted networks that it sees but for some reason, not at home. What's really weird is that my wife has the exact same phone and her's automatically joins without any problem. I've even compared the network settings for both phones and they are exactly the same. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    As a first step, delete this wireless network from your iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Select to view your wireless network settings for this network and at the top, select Forget This Network.
    Rejoin the network and test if this resolves the problem.

  • Unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update

    unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update. I'm not impressed.

    I updated to ISO 6 on my Daughters Iphone 4S, my Iphone 4, and I have now received my new Iphone 5 yesterday and now all 3 of them have wi-fi issues. I know its not my wi-fi because My Daughters Ipad 2 and my Wife's Iphone 4 is still on 5.11 and the wi-fi works fine. I cant understand why apple have not been saying what's going on and when they will fix it. I have tried everyone's suggestions on this forum and the Internet. Still no luck.

  • Iphone 4s cannot auto connect to home wifi after updating to ios 6.1.2

    My iphone 4s will not auto connect to my home wifi after updating to IOS 6.1.2.  I can manually connect to my phone to wifi but it will get disconnect if I'mnot using the phone. Any way to reslove?

    Once the phone goes into sleep mode, it is supposed to auto disconnect from wifi to save battery. Are you saying that once you wake the phone up it will not auto connect at that time?
    Suggest you try and forget the network, then go in and try the reset network settings again and then try to rediscover the network and connect again. Have you tried to do a reset of the phone, but holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release?
