IPhone 5 only able to connect 1 wifi access point

My phone will successfully connect to any access point I attempt to connect to. However, if my phone has ever connected to another access point, I must explicitly forget the previous access point in order to connect to another one. If I attempt to connect to a new access point without first forgetting the other access point, it will continually reject my password as invalid for the new access point. As soon as I either forget the other access point (or perform iOS network reset operation), I can connect fine to the new access point.
This is hugely frustrating. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Has anyone found the issue to this? I'm having the same exact problem and have tried all the resets

I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.

Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

Only able to connect to internet through Broadband DSL one computer at a time.

Hi,
I am using Verizon Broadband DSL, and have used it for a few years.
Equipment:
Westell Versalink Model 327W
Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G
I have a desktop (running Windows XP), and 2 laptops (1 XP, 1 Vista) that are connected wirelessly. Until recently all 3 computers have been working fine, connecting to the internet on the wireless network.
The problem is this: When any one of the computers is connected to the internet through the DSL none of the others computers is able to connect – I see the message “Connecting through WAN miniport (PPOE)…”, i.e. I am only able to connect to the internet 1 computer at a time.
As soon as I disconnect from the ‘connected’ computer (desktop or laptop) I am immediately able to successfully connect to the internet on either of the other 2 computers.
I’ve tried resetting everything – no luck.
I don’t recall having changed any of the settings and am baffled.
Any thoughts as to the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Charlie
PS. I haven't called the Verizon DSL Tech Support team yet...but I will soon. I figured on asking here first.
Solved!

Ok.
#1 You must get to the network control panel on your computer.
One of the ways, for Windows XP is:
a) Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
b) The screen will look like steps 5 and 6, on http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
For Windows Vista:
a) Go to the globe icon (start button) -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections.
b) The screen will look like steps 5, 6, and 7, on
http://portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm
#2 Right click on the WAN miniport (PPPOE), and remove the check mark that says Set as Default Connection.

My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi. It is on os6. I've had it for 18 months

My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi. The wifi button is greyed out. It is using io6. Like this for a week . Is 18 months old. what is warranty time in Australia?

There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

Suggestion when only able to connect to some services when using Kerberos.

I had been having problems using Kerberos for authentication for some services. It worked fine when on a LAN and worked when I had a VPN (MS-CHAP). But when trying to connect normally, I was able to get a TGT, but often ran into issues when trying to connect to other services (e.g. IMAP / VPN). What's more, sometimes everything did work, but stopped again soon after.
My setup has one server providing all the services in question. There were several CNAMES linking the different services (e.g. ichat.mydomain, mail.mydomain etc).
I found a number of people who seemed to have similar issues, but the threads were archived so I couldn't post a reply. So I'm hoping they come across this message and it helps them.
Because of an unrelated problem, it was brought to my attention that there were some problems with the DNS records relating to my domain – not on my server, but on the net.
After some experimenting, I discovered that if I set the DNS (in System Preferences) on my client Mac to the server I was contacting most things worked.
It seems that the Kerberos system may do a reverse lookup at some point, or something similar.
When I do a "dig -x <my ip address>" I get different responses over time, and from different DNS servers. When I did "dig @<my own dns> -x <my ip address>" it always came back with the correct server name.
So perhaps the issue lies with the DNS that your machine is looking up? This would explain why it works on the lan (the DNS is probably your server) and over VPN (again your server is the DNS).
This may not be the answer to these people's problems, but if you were getting messages such as "Server not found in Kerberos database" in your logs, it may pay to check what is getting return by DNS servers outside your organisation.
HTH.

IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi, i get as far as the password put in the correct password but it won't accept it, any ideas?? Thanks

What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

Why is my Iphone 5 not able to connect to Mac or Ipad through bluetooth
I have tried all sorts of resetting and tricks to make it work but my IPHONE 5 CANNOT connect to its sisterdevices like Mac or Ipads. it seems to be millions that have the same problem.
Will there be a fix for this or don't they care at all?

No iPhone has ever supported file transfer by Bluetooth & most likely never will. So, don't expect a "fix".

Hello.
My iphone doesn't recognize any signal wifi.
I have rebooted the red options as indicated on apple portal.
Also, I have turned off my iphone and when I turn it on don't enable the wifi option, and then I have to turn it off and turn it on again.
I have restored to the factory settings but the problem continues.
I don't know anything else to do.
