IPhone 5 not connecting to mobile wifi device

For some reason, this morning my iPhone 5 has stopped connecting to my mobile wifi device, giving me the message 'incorrect wifi password'. It is definitely the correct password as I verified it by connecting my iPad 2. I've re-booted, power cycled both the phone and wifi device and reset all network settings to no avail. Can anyone help?

thanks, that worked for my iphone 5... I considered doing just that, but couldn't figure how that would make a difference when my ipad was connecting and my phone was recognizing it, but just couldn't join it. Thanks again for taking the time to share such a simple fix!

    my iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days sometimes the wifi turns on other time no often then not it will not turn on could u help ?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the problem is still not resolved, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    Verizon does not provide hardware support, taking the device to them would be a waste of time.

  • My iPhone is not connecting to the wifi anymore

    My iphone is not connecting to the wifi anymore

    Try following this article: Troubleshooting wifi connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    If that doesn't work, you have the option to back up and restore to factory settings, then testing the connection. But before doing that troubleshoot your router.
    Contact your service provider and shown them this article for recommended settings. >> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199?viewlocale=en_US

  • IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

    new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

    Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

  • IPhone does not connect to home Wifi

    I have a wifi working but on my iphone or any other device other than a computer does not connect to home wifi. What should I do?

    Hi leilaboxergirl,
    So, when you go to Settings>WiFi, what do you see?
    Is WiFi = On?
    Under Choose a Network, is anything showing for you to select?
    Is the Ask to Join Networks button on?

  • Iphone 5 not connecting to home wifi

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 not connecting to my home wifi. This is a recent (just today) issue, it has been connecting with no problem for over 2 years and remembering the password.
    Today
    It sees my SSID, if I click on it I get asked for the password - I enter the password (checked with my router settings and correct), and I get the message:
    "Incorrect Password for "SSID" (name changed)
    What I have done:
    1. I have rebooted the phone (failed to fix)
    2. I have reset my Network settings on the phone (failed to fix & mashed all my email settings)
    3. I have backed up my phone to iTunes (BUT NOT RESTORED IT - YET)
    4. I have rebooted my (netgear DGN1000 router) (failed to fix).
    5. I have reset my router to factory settings, and whilst set with factory resets, tried to connect my phone (phone failed to recognise the default password)
    6. I have reset my SSID and password to my preferences.
    7. I reset my wireless encryption to "disable", and get message on the phone "Unable to join the network "SSID" (the lock icon disappeared off my phone)
    8. I reset the encryption, the lock icon re-appeared, and I get message "Incorrect password..."
    9. Other items: ipad air, Kindle Fire HD, iPhone 4 - all connect to the wifi with no problems, did before and still do now.
    10 Been to the O2 store (O2 are my provider), and the phone connected to their In Store wifi with no issues (they say no fault on phone)
    11. I have rung Virgin media (my landline & internet provider) and they have checked my router settings (they are OK) and advise me they can't help with the phone as it's "..an unsupported device.."
    Stuck now! &

    zolala:
    Virgin media is my internet provider, and I have rung them too; They talked me through the router settings, but the iPhone is "unsupported".
    My router settings are correct.
    Can you explain "...are you using Apple Airport Extreme for hm network?..." please?
    raymond73:
    I have an "old Dlink GSL624" and I dug this out, but can't find the factory code for the passphrase (I had to reset to factory default)
    If nothing else works, I'll get onto Virgin media and threaten to move isp unless they send me a new router. I have been with them for - well the days of dial up - well over 10 years probably.
    I am currently restoring the iPhone to its factory default. I will set up as a new phone to test, and IF it works, I'll then restore to backup - If it stops working after this, I'll have to copy all my contacts somehow, and then start from scratch again.
    Any idea how I can copy just my contacts somewhere I can restore them from easily?
    Thanks

  • IPhone will not connect to secure WiFi

    i have an iPhone 3G. i have had this phone for over a year. recently, this phone will not connect to my home or any other secure wifi network. ive tried 3 other iPhones on my network, and they all connect. i have turned off the security and it connects right up to the network.
    i have taken several steps to reset my iPhone. i have restored it from an older backup, as well as restored it as a new device. does anyone have any other troubleshooting steps known.
    any advice will be greatly appriciated.
    thank you.

    Are you using MAC address filtering on your router/modem?

  • None of my devices will connect to iTunes. now i get a message stating, "this iPhone could not connect to iTunes, the device is no longer connected".

    About a week ago I noticed that whenever i plugged in either my iPhone 5 or iPad mini to my mac, I would get a prompt asking if it was ok to trust this computer. I never got that before. Even after selecting "trust", I still get a message from iTunes that the device will not connect. I am using an apple sync cord in could shape, connections are good. They charge fine when plugged into this cord to the mac, but will not show up in iTunes.

    Good afternoon, UnclePapa,
    If iTunes is not detecting two iOS devices, try the steps below to resolve the issue.  First, I would suggest signing out of your iTunes Store account on your Mac and on your devices.  Then restart all devices, and sign in with the same Apple ID on all of them. 
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions below.
    This article is for OS X. If you're using a Windows PC, see what to do if your Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac. 
    Try another USB cable.

  • My iPhone will not connect to my Wifi

    after upgrading my software to IOS 7 my phone doesnt want to connect to my wifi. All it says is "Incorrect password for ..." and I am 100% positive i am putting in the right password. I have already reseted my network settings and it still doesn't work. what should i do?

    Fixed
    reset network settings on iPhone [go to SETTINGS,
    then to GENERAL, then to NETWORK... then hit RESET
    NETWORK SETTINGS]
    For me after you set the network and password just turn off and then on wi-fi and all is well
