Iphone 3 and 4 can't connect with wireless through air port

We purchased a new Time Capsule yesterday to replace one that stopped working.  We have been able to get the Air Port/network working for our Mac Books and iPads, but cannot access the wireless network on our iPhones (a 3 and a 4).  The wireless connection function on the phones show the network and shows a check mark next to the network, but does not switch to the wireless network from 3G.  We tried to 'forget the network' and sign in again, making sure we are on the WPA2.  Any other suggestions?   Tami

I had this happen to me yesterday.  I have a AirPort Extreme and my iPhone was unable to connect to the wireless network.
I tried everything from resetting the network settings on my iPhone, Hardbooting the iPhone,  and even changing the wireless password on my Wireless network and restarting the AirPort Extreme.  Nothing worked.
However here is my solution:
Hardware restart.  I just unplugged the AE waited about 20 seconds and plugged it back in.  When it came back up ...My iPhone was able to connect to the network.

  • Time Capsule woes -- Connection timeouts and can't connect with one Macbook

    This is my second Time Capsule. Here's the scenario:
    I have a Netopia 3347 DSL modem. That feeds into the Time Capsule in bridge mode. There is a MacBook (metal case), iBook (yes, it's old), two iphones, a color printer and an iPad that can all connect to the Time Capsule just fine. The problem is my MacBook can't connect. The offending computer is a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running SL 10.6.6. This computer can connect to the Netopia just fine, so I know its internal Airport works. After several go arounds with Apple tech support, I'm still nowhere.
    Here are the symptoms:
    1. I can see the TC's network SSID in the airport pull down menu. If I select the TC, a popup appears and asks for a password. If I enter the password, I'll get a connection timeout error.
    2. On the rare occasions where it does connect, I can't open a webpage. Network diagnostics has red dots for ISP Internet and Server
    3. On the even rarer occasions where it does connect, and I can access a webpage, it's unbearably slow, and the no-surf problem reappears after a few seconds. The red dots on the Network Diagnostics reappear.
    Apple tech support was not helpful. I've power cycled everything a million times (and that doesn't explain why other computers can connect.) I know it's not my computer, because it can connect to the Netopia just fine.
    I am STUMPED.

    Magnificent! Problem solved...   Isn't there a "this solved my problem" button somewhere??  Thanks and thanks again!

  • Can't connect with modem through e2500 router

    I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem hooked to my e2500 router. Everything works well except if for some reason my modem disconnects from ISP I can not log into it through the route to reconnect it. I must plug a direct cable into modem from computer run connect script then plug modem back into router all is fine again.
    Any ideas why connecting to modem through router is blocked?
    Thnaks,

    My Speedstream only has one Ethernet connection so I didn't realize that it looked like a router to the local network. I changed the mode to bridge on the Speedstream and setup PPoE on e2500 and reconnected to ISP on e2500 setup screen. That may solve the problem of reconnecting since now it is managed on the e2500.
    One thing I now see is since I left the modem IP set to 192.168.0.X I can't get to it at all through the e2500. Is that because my DHCP in e2500 is setup with 192.168.1.X IP range so modem isn't addressed in my network? If I hook directly to Speedstream and change IP to 192.168.1.X will it become visible on local network?
    You cannot access the modem anymore while you have an active PPPoE connection. For PPPoE the E2500 won't need an IP address from the modem thus it doesn't do DHCP on the WAN port and thus it never sees it. When you try to access 192.168.0.* addresses the E2500 will route it through the PPP tunnel to the ISP.
    If you hook your computer directly to the SpeedStream it should automatically pick up a DHCP address (assuming the computer is still running on DHCP and not with a static IP and the SpeedStream does not automatically disable the DHCP server in bridge mode). If you have set up a static IP on the computer you have to change the IP address to a 192.168.0.* address.

  • Can not connect with wireless USB

    Hi,
    I have installed a wireless USB dongle onto an iMac 333, system profile shows that the iMac can see the it, but the wireless software shows no device.
    I tried it on a G4 iMac which found it and it all worked. Does anyone have any idea?
    Imac 333
    CNet wireless-g usb dongle
    have also tried a berklin usb dongle and had the same problem?
    Thanks

    Wireless USB adapters are the worst way to get your iMac wireless capability. Many/most people find them extremely problematic and unreliable. They require drivers that must be installed. Those drivers often must match the exact version of Mac OS that you have installed.
    It is much more reliable to get an Ethernet wireless adapter (like the Linksys WET11 or WET54G). These devices require no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet devices regardless of OS.

  • Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad.  I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password.  The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning.  Help thanks.

    Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help.  The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    first step would be reboot
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
    then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
    then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability

  • Can't connect with wireless

    I have a first generation iMac G4 that I recently installed an early Airport card. In the past I have depended on ethernet for internet access but this computer will need to use wireless in its new location.
    I can see my wireless network but each time I try to connect I'm unable. I've configured my router to use WPA and it failed, I then took all security off the network and it still didn't connect. I ran the hardware test on the iMac and the airport card passes, I've also checked for software updates and there were none. I do not have any MAC filtering on my network. I have an eMac, iPhone 4, iPod Touch and an iPad all successfully using the wireless.
    Please help!!!

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    3) In the same panel as (2), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    4) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    5) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.
    Note that these steps are based on OS X 10.5 and 10.6, but they should work (with a few adjustments) with OS X 10.4.

  • Please help... Reset PMU and can't connect to wireless internet

    I have an iBook G3 800. I took a trip and when I unpacked it, couldn't get it to turn on. I looked online on another computer and read the suggestion to reset the PMU. I did it, and my comp turned on. Only when I tried to connect to a wireless network, it didn't work. It seemed to be connected, but no webpages would load. I tried in a different location, with a different network, one I had used before. My comp identified the network, but when I tried to connect, I get an error message: "There was an error when trying to connect to the airport wireless network etc etc."
    BTW, I had further trouble with starting up, but resetting the PMU worked, and that problem seems to be behind me. I also tried resetting the PRAM (or whatever equivalent the ibook has. I'm pretty ignorant.)
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I travel a lot, and I find the easiest thing to do is to use the Setup Assistant to set up a new location. That will usually get you connected, and then that location will be saved under whatever name you gave it. Then if you return to that location, you can just click on it to get that particular setup. I have done that with both dial up and wireless.
    Good luck!

  • Can not connect with Wireless Security Set

    I have a G3 iBook 12" with an airport card. I just recently got a DLink wireless router. I can connect without security. When I turn on any WEP, it says connection failed. When I use WPA2 Personal, it will connect, but it will drop the connection every few seconds then reconnect.

    Try a $ sign in front of the password it requests
    when you try to connect.
    I tried entering the password with a $ in front of it and was not able to connect.

    I understand that you are getting a message about your account being disabled for security reasons. Apple protects accounts by disabling them when there are too many failed attempts to log in to an account. Before you can access your account, you will need to reset its password. You can reset your password via the website below:
