IPhone 4 doesn't find my home network

My iPhone 4 finds other nearby networks, but not mine. I have my wifi security set to WPA2. Help would be greatly appreciated!

This is what finally worked for me: launch Airport Utility, select your base station and check to see if the Radio Mode is set to 802.11n (only). If so, try changing it to 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible), and see if your iPhone detects your network after the base station restarts.

  • Iphone osi 8.0 upgraded. Now I can't find my home network. Help!

    Just upgraded my iPhone to psi 8.0. Am able to find and stay connected to public wifi. Originally was able to find my home wifi. Now I'm not connected nor can I find my home network. I have tried reset via the phone, reboot of phone and reboot of router.

    Thanks 11142007. I had actually tried what you suggested. But, it was only after I rebooted the router a second time that I was able to connect and, hopefully, stay connected. The key on the second router reboot was waiting at least 15 seconds to power it back up. I didn't do that the first time.

  • Can't find my home network

    Greetings,
    I have tried searching this forum and the Apple support pages, and can't find a solution. My new iPod Touch can't find my home network. I have an AirPort Extreme base station and am using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My MacBook Pro has no problem finding my network, and works flawlessly. My iPod Touch, on the other hand, can not. Even though my home network is not a closed network, I still tried entering the network name and password manually, and it still doesn't see it. I tried turning security off completely in my Base Station>AirPort>Wireless settings, and that didn't help, either. My iPod Touch does see one or two other networks in my neighborhood, but not mine.
    For the record, I am sitting less than two feet away from my AirPort Extreme base station, so I'm definitely within range, my iPod Touch can see other networks, so it would seem that it's antenna is not at fault, and my MacBook Pro sees and connects to my network without any problems, so it would seem my AirPort Extreme is set up properly. So what am I doing wrong?
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks Scott, that did it. Within range of everything is a wireless security camera that was creating an interference issue with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme, and the only solution, other than disabling the camera, was to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz under Base Station>AirPort>Wireless>Radio Mode, which eliminated b/g compatible. At the time, that was fine because my MacBook Pro was n compatible. I see now that my iPod Touch is not. I tried switching back to b/g compatible, and the iPod Touch found my network right away, but the MacBook Pro lost it.
    Can't win for losing.
    The security camera has now been disabled, and both the iPod Touch and the MacBook Pro can access my network. I just won't be able to film the guy who tries to steal them.

  • IPhone can't find any wifi networks

    I have an original iPhone. It originally ran on wifi networks and Edge, but for a while it has only worked on Edge. When I look under settings - Wi-Fi it says "Not Connected" and lists no networks. My MacBook is connected wirelessly via an AirPort and the wireless info on it lists at least 5 active networks in the area. I have tried toggling between Airplane Mode and not, turning off everything (including cable modem and AirPort) and then resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and erasing all content and settings. I have also tried "Other" under Wi-Fi Networks, but it can't find my home network.
    Is there just something wrong with the device?

    I have the same problem you did. Was your phone still under warranty or covered under Apple Care? My phone isn't under warranty anymore, so I'm just hoping that I'm not out of luck.

  • My macbook doesnt not find my home network.

    My macbook doesnt not find my home network. It finds the surrounding networks but not my home network. My ipod touch and iphone uses the home network and another computer in the house. My home network does not appear in the wifi drop list and when I search via network preferences it doesnt help even though i am using the correct password. Every once in a while it will find the network more thats the exception.

    Turn the router and modem off then back on.
    I don't have iStubmler downloaded but someone told me that it can do a better job of picking up network signals. So you might try downloading it, but I can't say that I know it will help.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • HT1695 Hey, guys! I connected to the wi-fi by my iPhone (5) for 3 weeks. Now my iPhone doesn't connect to the network anymore. And I can't understand why. Will you please help me? It's strange,cause tonight I connected frequently. But now I can't! :(

    Hello LNIN5,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I have a couple resources for you to help troubleshooting wifi connection issues with an iOS device.
    The first is named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
    Take care,

  • IPhone 4 will not find my home network

    I bought an iPhone 4 two weeks ago and I still cannot get it to detect my wireless home network.
    I use a Time Capsule as my router, which is plugged directly into my modem via ethernet.
    My Macbook can find my network/TC fine, and has done since I bought it.
    My wireless settings are 802.11n only (5GHz) with wireless security set to WPA2 Personal.
    I tried changing my settings and found that the only one that worked at connecting my iPhone was 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible), but it caused serious problems.
    The connection between my TC and Macbook was severely reduced, and it could not detect my TC in Airport Utility, so it would not run the Time Machine back-up, and I was unable to get access to the settings to change them back.
    I had to do a full reset on my TC(power down, hold reset button in and power on again) about six times before I could get it all working properly again and get access to the settings.
    If I try to manually search for my network on my iPhone, it still will not find it.
    It will find other peoples networks, but not mine.
    And my current settings are the only ones that work perfectly with my Macbook and Time Capsule.
    Any help?

    My wireless settings are 802.11n only (5GHz) with wireless security set to WPA2 Personal.
    Therein lies your problem.

    I also have a TC which supports simultaneous dual band. I have two bands or networks - one 5GHz for my MBP, Time Machine Backup, and Apple TV, and another set to 2.4 GHz for my iPhone. The name for one of the networks includes 5GHz with the name and the other doesn't, which is the one I connect my iPhone with.

  • "Find my iPhone" doesn't find itself.

    Hello,
    first of all I want to excuse for my English skills and any mistakes in this text - I'm from Germany and still learning
    But let's get to my problem:
    As the headline says, the "Find my iPhone"-App. doesn't find my devices. It doesn't even find itself:
    As you can see in the top bar I'm connected to my Wi-Fi network and of course to the internet.
    As an additional information I want to say that it worked in the past - but I cannot tell you when or why it stopped.
    I hope you got some ideas how to fix it for me.
    Sincerely,
    Jörg

    Of course I tried locating it per web.
    But fortuitously I found the solution today after waking up: There was a little switch at Settings -> iCloud -> Find my iPhone turned off. Now that I turned it on it works !
    But thanks for all your quick replys anyway !!
    Have a nice week.
    Jörg

  • Why won't my iphone 4 connect to my home network?

    I've had my iphone4 connected to my home wifi network for about 18 months with no problems.  A few weeks ago it suddenly dropped the connection and when I try to connect, and enter the password, it tries but then responds that it can't join the network.
    I can connect to other networks at work and in public.  There is a laptop  and another iphone4 connected to the home network with no problems.
    Today, I ahve reset the router (as suggested on another thread) and reconfigured the network.  The laptop is connected and working but now NEITHER iphone will connect to the wifi.
    Help please!
    Sue

    Thanks for trying but mine hasn't. I've connected to this router before with no problems. There doesn't seem to be a reasonable explanation.

  • IPhone 5s Unable to join home network but joins other networks?

    As in the question above, I just got a brand new iPhone 5s that worked perfectly with my home wi-fi for about 5 hours untill it suddenly decided it didn't enjoy being connected to it and immediatly broke the connection. after that I tried getting it to connect - even resetting network setting and restarting both device and router- but still the same message comes up "Unable to connect to 'Network'". I would really love some help on how I can fix this besides going to genius bar or something like that since there aren't any in my country. and I doubt the place I bought it from would give me a refund or replace it. Keep in mind that it still connects to other networks. It's just my home network that it's having problems with.  Also, other devices in my house are working just fine with the home network.

    If your device is connecting with other wifi devices other than that of your home local wifi/router you need to be thinking strongly about what is going on with the device that you aren't connecting with. How far in distance are you from the wifi at your residence? How old is the router you're using at home? After resetting your network settings have you ensure you took the time to reset the password from your mobile device to match that of your home routers password? If your device is working elsewhere just fine and not at home you may want to start your troubleshooting more towards the router rather than the mobile device.

  • Wireless laptop connects to the internt but doesn't appear on home network

    I have two snow base stations linked together to extend my home network. The "main" station is wired into a five port hub which connects two other computers, printer, high speed internet connection. For well over one year everything works as it should. last week some win-doze users spent several nights here using our connection. Since then I have several strange issues:
    1. The laptop (TiBook G4) can connect to the internet but does not show up on the local network.
    2. The base stations ( I named them one and two) act in the following manner when I attempt to reach them using the Admin Utility:
    B.S. One: shows up using the hardwire connection on my tower and using the wireless connection on the laptop.
    B.S. Two: only shows up on the wireless connection. It will not appear on the tower.
    I have shut down everything on the network: The Modem, the hub, the base stations, upon restart no changes.
    I hope I explained my problem clearly Help!
    Andrew

    Well upon further poking around I discovered that the main Airport BS had the "distribute IP addresses" box checked which put it in conflict with the router. Now the LAN works as it did before. Only the bridged BS is not appearing in the Admin utilities on both the tower (wired) and the Laptop (wireless)... will try a hard restart...
    Thanks for everyone's patience with my taking up bandwidth here.

  • My iphone can not find the wifi networks

    my iphone can not find the wifi networks

    Is your router plugged in?  Do you have internet?
    Come on...
    I have the same issue.  Yesterday I could connect to my wifi just fine, but today I turned on my wifi and the wheel just spins and spins.  I restart my phone and I get the "greyed out" wifi switch. So I restart, and I'm back to square one.  The wheel just keeps spinning.
    I've updated the router firmware, I've power cycled everything multiple times, and still nothing.
    Can anyone give a real solution? Or do we just have to suffer until apple update this **** IOS6?
