IPhone 5 unable to join airport extreme network, help!!!

I just bought an airpot extreme a week ago. After I configured it, my macbook pro can connect the wi-fi flawlessly. However, my iphone 5 was unable to join the airport extreme network. It sees the network, just can't join it. It doesn't say unable to join, I choose my network on my iphone, it shows it is trying to join, and never successfully joined. I've been trying miliion's way to fix this problem. I reset my iphone completely, reset my airport extreme, and reset the model, still never worked. Any idea?

Was one of the million ways that you tried.....changing the name of the wireless network on the AirPort Extreme and also changing the wireless network password?
If not.....
Keep the wireless network name simple
Use only letters and numbers.....no special characters (like an apostrophe or asterisk, etc)
Limit of 20 characters or less in the name....8-10 would be ideal.
No blank spaces
Same rules for the wireless network password
If that does not work, I can only conclude that the operating system on the iPhone has become corrupted....and this is an iPhone problem....not an AirPort Extreme problem.
Best to post in the iPhone support area to let the experts over there have a crack at things....but in general you will need to reset the iPhone back to its original default settings, then restore it again from your backup. If that does not work, the iPhone needs to be replaced.

New to wireless Cant get airport express to join airport extreme network

So... I just got this MBP yesterday along with airport extreme and airport express. I got the base station set up i just cant get the express to connect for the life of me... help anybody? Everything is in range i know that for a fact. I just cant get it configured and i already looked on the airport express support page and followed the instructions and i still can't get it. :-/

Factory reset your Airport Express (AX).
Resetting AirPort Express
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Connect to the Airport Extreme Network
Use the Airport Assistant to configure a new base station and configure the AX to join an existing wireless network (either use client mode, only extend your network if you need to do so).

Emac G4 problems with joining Airport Extreme network

I have an Airport Extreme network with two Airport Express base stations. The Airport Extreme is connected to the internet via ethernet/cable modem. The imac and the base stations work fine and I have no problem with my internet access on the imac, but I can't get internet access via the emac. It appears that the emac is connected to the network, but I get an error message ("Can't find server") when I try to access the internet. What have I done wrong?
imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.4) Other computer: emac G4, operating system 10.3.9

Is the eMac connected wirelessly to the network?
It may be a DNS issue, see KB 106798, Mac OS: Troubleshooting "A connection failure has occurred", "The specified server could not be found" or Similar Messages.

Problems joining AirPort Extreme network from 10.3

I need to bring an old iMac back into our family network. I erased the HD and installed 10.3. The airport card in the iMac sees our network and knows the password (I also reset the base station tonight so I know the password is correct and works with 2 laptops in the house.). However, each time I enter the password for the AirPort network, I get, "There was an error joining the selected AirPort network." Does this have anything to do with the type of password (WEP, etc?). When the iMac requests the password for joining the network, it simply requests, "Password."
Thanks!

If you temporarily set the security on your main router to "none", can the iMac connect that way?
If yes, what base station are you using?

Can't join the airport extreme network with my iphone~~please help

Can't join the airport extreme network with my iphone

What radio mode do you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) configured for? (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Radio Mode = ?)

I changed my Airport Extreme network name and password, now I can't access my Airport Express speakers. Help please.

I changed the network name and password associated with my Airport Extreme and now my system is not recognizing my Airport Express speakers.
Can someone help me get my speakers and sound system back online?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You will need to think in reverse here.
Change the network name and password back to where it was on the AirPort Extreme and get things working that way.
Then, change the name and password on one AirPort Express, then the second. Both Expresses will be blinking amber at this time. Power them off.
Now, change the name and password on the AirPort Extreme.
Power up both Expresses and they will now join the AirPort Extreme network correctly since you have programmed them with the new network name and password.

Unable to join Airport Network

I am being baffled by a network problem.
I have 2 Macs, a MBP 17 inch running Snow Leopard and an old Powerbook G4 running 10.4. Both connect to a no security (ie no password wireless) network at home. "Suddenly" the MBP will not join the wireless network (A DSL model D-Link). Error message when running diagnostics of "Unable to join Airport network.....". The G4 works just fine.
Have tried rebooting both devices ie the MBP and the D-Link. The MBP will work fine with a cable attached to the D-Link but not wirelessly!
Also, the MBP can see the Powerbook in the FINDER under "Shared".
Any ideas?
Thanks
BF

Yeah, thanks Bob, I got my MBP Safari to talk to D-Link via the http://10.1.1.1 address, put in a WEP password. Saved the changes and restarted the router. When I connect via Airport it asks for a password - I type it in then it times out. Then I went to the Powerbook and the Vista machine and they connected fine. I used my iphone and told it the password and it also worked fine.
I prefixed it on my MBP with $ and without $ - all to no avail. I am starting to think maybe the MBP wants a WPA password for some reason. It worked fine until last night! Very strange indeed. Any more ideas?
What gets me is that one moment it works and the next it is dead as a dodo...

My wife's i-pad 3 was just downloaded with iOS6 and we're unable to join our wifi network at home. Can anyone help?

My wife's i-pad 3 was just downloaded with the latest iOS6 and she's now unable to join our wifi network at home. Can anyone help?

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

I can see my airport extreme network, but none of my devices (vista, ipad, iphone, ipod) can connect to it. Why?

I have set up my apple aiport extreme after moving and I can see the airport extreme light is green and I can see the airport extreme network name, but when I select the network, the device cannot connect to it. No error message appears, the device simply is in a constant state of trying to connect to the network.
I can easily connect to the non Airport Extreme network.
Can anyone help?

Try factory resetting, it often helps when changing location.

Unable to join airport network - Totally perplexing

Hi
I work remotely from home. I have an intel iMac as my desktop and a macbook for when I am out and about. For a few days now I have been having enormous problems with my internet connection. I use Airport Express (n) to connect via my modem in another room.
I cannot get any connection to the internet on my iMac, yet I connect fine on my Macbook sitting 6 inches from it, both using the same Express.
When I run network diagnostics on the Imac it goes through the usual checks, green buttons up to 'Internet' and then asks what network to join, scans and finds the network that my Macbook is on. I type in the password and I get an 'Unable to join Airport Network' Trust me the password is right and I have checked it via keychain.
I am completely perplexed why two computers using the same wifi settings a few days have changed where only one can.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Jon

To rule out wireless encryption, if you temporarily disable encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network, can the iMac connect now? If so, try using WPA2 Personal for your encryption setting and try again. How about now?

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
Sigve

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards
Sigve

Error joining airport to network

Hi,
I have a wireless nortel solution set up in our school. We run power over ethernet base unit 2330a access points running back to 5520 POE switch. That runs back to a 2380 security switch. We have the latest firmware.
All our dell xp systems connect with no problem using WPA secured SSID. We also can connect with an open SSID.
All of our macbook's do not. They sometimes do connect, but 90% of the time will not. When i try and select it gives me an error that there was an error joining airport to network "WPCSD"
I have tried everything. This even happens when the system is brand new right out of the box. It happens in 10.4.8 all the way through 10.4.10 with all updates.
Strange, but when i go into xp on our duel boot macs, (same system) there are no problems.
I spoke to apple support, they were not much help, claiming it must be Nortel's problem.
I tried to find an external usb network adapter. I figured if i can connect with that then it must be the airport extreme. I had no luck, all seemed to be made for xp.
Is anyone out there rinning on a nortel wireless solution?
Has anyone had any issues with their macbooks and wireless.
I need out 100 new systems to connect.
THANKS!

Yes hard wired i have no issues. I have tried the wireless with both DHCP and with static ip. Sharing seems to work. I can connect to another mac.
I have searched Nortel and googled. No luck. We are dealing with thier support. The feel if the xp systems can connect, then the system is fine.
Apple claims that if i can connect to other networks (ie home linksys) then the problem is nortel. see where this is going.
However that does not help me out. The nortel is a very expensive wireless solution, as you can expect. So its not like we can just get rid of it and buy a non-managed solution.
even if we bought external card for the macs that would be a solution, but it does not seem like these are even made.
i was just posting to see if anyone else is using a managed wireless solution like nortel's?
thanks

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

Automatically connecting a WEP encrypted Airport Extreme network

My Powerbook when it turns on has no trouble connecting to my WEP encrypted Airport Extreme network. My iMac G5 on the other hand requires a manual connection to the network. This even though my Apple menu -> System preferences -> network -> configure -> Airport has "by default join a specific network" with username and password selected.
Why does the Powerbook automatically connect when the iMac does not? Both are sitting side by side?

Well a variant of that article did work. I called AppleCare. They had me while I was still not connected, create a new location, Configure my airport settings, and lo and behold, preferred networks was there, I was able to edit my password for my WEP connection, hit Apply Now, restart, and Change All keychain passwords, and my network automatically connected on the next login.
Thank you.

Airport Express to extend my Airport Extreme network

Puzzled at set up of my new Airport Express to extend my Airport Extreme network. Just trying to increase range. [Extreme works fine.]

We are going to need a bit more info in order to help.
Do you know if your AirPort Extreme is a newer dual band model? Check the Model Number on the bottom of the device if you are not sure.
Are you still using the OS X 10.6.8 operating system on your Mac as your profile indicates?
If no, what operating system are you now using?
