I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.

Are there other devices that can connect to your Wi-Fi and work just fine?
You can troubleshoot this using http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 as well. If you need to restore your iPhone at all, use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US and set it up as new to see if this still happens. If it does, you might need a replacement

Iam unable to connect to wi-fi keeps saying unable to join network

I am unable to connect to internet keeps saying Unable to join to network.can anyone tell me what iam doing wrong

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

I have a 4s from verizon. Husband has a 4. He connects to wireless no problem. I always have trouble and cant get on. Message always says unable to join. What is my problem, faulty phone?

Hi Hogdays,
I know how frustrating it is not to be able to connect to the internet.
Below are the troubleshooting steps to try to figure out why:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
I would follow the steps in order, but this section is specific to your error message:
If you're unable to join a nearby Wi-Fi network
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.
Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
When joining an 802.11n Wi-Fi network, ensure that your router is properly configured. See this article for more information.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Hope this helps ....

My Iphone 4 wont allow me to log into my wireless internet. It keeps saying unable to join user. What can I do to fix that?

I just updated my software to the 7.06 version on my Iphone 4 and after I did that, I had trouble accessing my wireless internet. I have put in the correct password and it just keeps popping up "Unable to join the network". Does anyone know what I can do to access my wireless internet at my house on my Iphone?

Can anyone help can not get my ipad to connect to wireless today. has been working fine but all of a sudden will not connect to Router. I have a kindle and a mobile and both of these will connect to the router wireless but the ipad will not.
Been to my parents with the i pad and this will connect to their wireless router.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

My iphone 3gs says "unable to join network "

My iphone 3 g would not join the network after my orange livebox was factory reset. I have tried all the usual iphone resets but still " unable to join network ". I change to wpa-personal but nothing.My sons iphone 3 g joins no problem so it must be an iphone issue. Its warranty expired april and was advise by apple to buy another phone ! bit expensive option ! Right now I am rething whether to continue the apple route.Anyone have any ideas how to resolve ?

Hi, the livebox has two buttons . One is a reset and the other a wifi button that's all. What baffles me is that when my son factory reset the livebox [ by insering a paperclip end in the little hole] that's when I lost network contact BUT his iphone 3g became enabled but not mine ! bizarre ! Appreciate your ideas !

HT5569 When I attempt to choose the wi fi network I set up my iPhone message says "unable to join the network." It's my network!

Recently, my iphone 4s lost connection with the wifi network I set up on my imac desktop. The message I receive is "unable to join the network..."
Can anyone offer a solution to this problem? Thanks!

Oh, so the problem has nothing at all to do with the iPhone ... it is that you cannot remember the network password! No wonder the iPhone cannot join the network.
Why not simply destroy the network and set up a new one with a password you remember?

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

You need to restore the iPad.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If that will not work, you will need to use Recovery Mode to restore.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

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.

Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

Clean install - can I save my old internet settings for wireless router

I am upgrading to Leopard with a clean install. My only concern is that my sister got my computer hooked up to our wireless router ages ago and I'm afriad I won't be able to get back on wireless afterwards.
Is there a way to backup this information, these settings, to my external drive to reinstall once I've done the reinstall?
Thanks!

uhhh, I think the 2nd thing you said...
We bought a wireless router to work with our pre-existing internet service. She had to put in some disk and go to some website with a bunch of numbers as an "address" and type in some stuff. Something about WEP keys and such (that I obviously don't understand enough to remember clearly). It was quite a hassle is mostly what I remember.
Yes, it can be. The web page is probably the configuration page for the router. The disk suggests she might have had to install some software to get it set up. You would need to reinstall that, I think. It also sounds as if she configured the router from your machine. Although the router is now configured, you don't want to lose the ability to re-configure it if necessary.
I'm going to suggest that you write down as much configuration information as you can.
Are you in a position to make a bootable backup - to clone your current system? You need an external drive big enough to house your system and which is suitable for use as a boot volume. I would strongly recommend this before upgrading in any case. If anything goes wrong, you can always boot from your backup until you sort the problem out. I don't know what sort of backups you keep - you mentioned an external drive but I gather you are backing up just selected files to that.
What kind of router do you have? Are any other computers sharing the connexion to the internet?

I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
Pull the power cord from the back of the device
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue
Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.
