Ipad to my router:"unable join the network"
Sometimes I get this Linksys E1000 message when trying connect my ipad to my router:”unable join the network” from ipad,
tried reboot ipad, after shut down, still stuck on this error,
any ideas?
Hi joejazz55, is there a password that was set on your router? We're you prompted for it?
Try to forget networks on your iPad and reconnect. Try also to check if Mac Address Filtering has not been enabled on your router. You can check all these by accessing the setup page of your router through 192.168.1.1.
To check the wireless settings of your router, please check this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=476326f36c294e579ba6691a8db5411e_3698.xml&pid=80&r...

I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router. When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?
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 installed iOS 7.0.4 on the ipad, and can no longer connect to my home locked wifi. I choose the home wifi network and the message comes back with Unable to join the network "............" Dismiss. There is no prompt for the password for the locked network. . . . Any suggestions . . . . .

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

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. -
My other Imacs and my wife's Ipad 3 have no problem with conneccting. My Ipad keeps coming up with unable to join the network. Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network. A couple minutes ago, it connected for 10 seconds, then dropped the connection. Is there a way to reconfigure the Ipad to fix this major problem, as we dropped our carrier (saved a bunch of money) and just went wifi.
Thanks so much for any help with resolving my connection problem.

IOS 7.1. Unable to join the network (Cisco Router)
I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 7.1. GM - Public). My phone and wifi connections worked fine until last week.
Now when I have tried connecting to my home wifi network (using CISCO router; other wifi connections are working normally), my phone is giving me the message "enter the password" and there is an username too. So, it is impossible to connect to wifi network - "unable to join the network".
I tried to Reset Network Settings on iPhone, and Restore an iPhone (over iTunes), reset cisco router to factory settings etc. without success.. any idea what could be wrong?Hi kopacev!
You may need to make sure that your router settings conform to the suggested settings in the following article for best performance:

AE green light but still Unable to join the network - G5 and iPad 1st Gen
I gave my old 1st gen AE to my parents as they got an iPad and needed Wi-Fi. The AE is plugged directly into their ADSL box (Livebox - Orange in France if it makes any difference) and it worked from when they plugged it in a few weeks ago until now for some reason.
It still lights up with a continuous green light and both their G5 iMac and iPad finds the network (Apple Network Bbf09-whatever) but won't allow them to sign on. There is no password (never has been) as they live out in the country side so no leaching. They can individually sign on (one at the time only) wirelessly from the Orange ADSL modem which is no good.
Tried to unplug everything: ADSL Modem and AE left unplugged for a couple of minutes and reinserted. Still the light is solid green, shows up on the list of networks but won't connect. Keeps saying "Unable to join the Network"?
Anyone having any ideas?UPDATE: It turned out to be the ISP. The signal quality that came in was not very good for some reason and caused problems with the WiFi through the AX.

I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect my iPad. Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss. Anyone else have that problem? I've gone thru all my settings and can't seem to find a way to log into my network. Don't get the option to put in my password. It just give me the name of my network and option of dismiss instead of password.

Are you refering to a home network or some form of public
if home network ensure your router has latest firmware and try rebooting it -

Internet Sharing - "Unable to join the network" error
Hi,
I have recently enabled internet sharing from my iMac to provide internet access for my iPad. My iMac has a working ethernet connection and I successfully set up the internet sharing (shared via Wi-Fi) so that the network is recognised by my iPad. However, when I attempt to connect to the network from the iPad I get the error, "Unable to join the network <name-of-my-imac>". To make things really simple, I disabled the security for the network so that no passoword is required. Still the iPad won't connect. Everything seems to be alright from the iMac's end, except that my PC laptop also has difficulty gaining internet access through the network. It will connect, but states "no internet connection".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not a lot of support seems to be avaible for this topic.
I am running OS X 10.8.2 on the iMac and iOS 6.1.3 on the iPad.Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

New iPod Unable to join the network after inputting password
Got my iPod this am..
looked too good to touch no pun intended.
I went through the instructions, interrupted with an offer to update_, which I did.
I then saw that the iPod was off line and went to set up the connection.
I do have a Time Capsule but I just use it as an external drive, I use Ethernet connections between it my Netopia router/modem which provides my Wi Fi for another computer.
I have a WPA-PSK security on the Netopia.
My Wi Fi shows up on available networks, I am asked for my password but then I get a message "Unable to join the network"
I must admit that my password is long (and a bit racy) my fingers a bit big, but I know that I have got it right on at least a few occasions.
I have tried entering the details on "Other network" with the same result.
Could my WPA-PSK be a problem?
I would be most grateful for any suggestions.
Various forms of this problem have appeared on this forum, but I think mine is a bit different.
Thank you.Thank you.
Went through that pretty well.
Finally solved it in 2 steps.
1. reset my modem/router to factory settings.
Odd situation, wireless settings, but dependent on ethernet connection.
2. read a post from Hong Kong re strange network settings.
On his advice, into network, changed location from Automatic to one of my choosing.
Bingo! everything came good.
Totally wireless connection. iPod jumped to it. Isn't it great when everything comes together?
I still wonder why it didn't take the signal from the WiFi part of my Modem/Router?
Probably just as well as it sorted my Time Capsule connections out, probably for the first time since I bought one back in early 2008, and its recent replacement when it joined the epidemic of sudden death recently.
Cheers
