Iphone connect to wifi

Can anyone please help I just cannot get my iphone to work on wifi through my home netgear wireless. How do I go go to my netgear page and add the iphone. any help would be appreciated.

Hello Harry
I have a couple questions for you. Please do not post your password here. I simply just need to know the number of characters and any information you might of seen or remember.
If your network requires a password to access it. Is the password 4 to 10 characters long?
If so... Do you know if your using WEP? If this is the case then you need to change your router security to WEP 128 bit and create a 13 character password. or WPA/WPA2 Personal with an 8 character minimum password.
Once you have done that. Then update router and try and connect again.
As stated earlier you should not have to add your iPhone to your router control settings unless you or someone you know setup Mac Address filtering. Post back if you require more assistance.
Please consult Netgear for assistance with changing any WiFi settings. Please also remember any computers on the network will need to type new password to get back onto the network.

One wifi spot my iPhone connects to wifi but not internet. All other devices connect to internet.

My iPhone connects to wifi just fine. When it does it connects to the internet just fine except in one location. My house. My MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone and her iPad get on the internet there just fine. My Iphone's IP address it begins with a 10. At my house it occasionally will connect to the internet through wifi but I leave wifi off there because it is so intermitent.
Any suggestions?
I have not seen this problem addressed.

Can you ping a website using either Network Utility or Terminal?

Had a similar problem a number of years ago with a laptop my daughter had. The probelm turned out to be the router. What kind of router do you have? Have you checked for firmware updates, or at least tried re-booting it?

iPhone connects to wifi but MacBook doesn't pick up the signal

Okay, this morning it happened again. I unplugged my iphone, surfed some pages fine. Five minutes later I woke it up again, tried to go to the app store. Nothing.
Tried to surf some newspaper sites. Nothing. So I used an IP address rather than the www.blablabla.com address and it works.
Confirmed. Some sort of cirumstances let the DNS service crash. Only IP addresses work. After a reboot (that's the only chance) it works again.
Network reset, restore iOS, all other typical help steps, never cured it.
That's a bug.
Lets put it on http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I get in now with the following procedures taken:
1. Reset network as suggested in Apple app.
2. In the wifi connection, instead click in the user name as shown in the screen, I click Others and re-type the user name as appeared before. In the security, instead of none, I click WEP. It will then prompt you to put in password. I then put in password as I know for that user name again.
Then, it joined the wifi..
Hope this can help someone who get this problem.

My iphone connect to wifi, but it wont use it. How do i fix it?

My IPhone 4 connects to wifi, but it does not use it, it refers back to 3G.

Probably because there is no internet connection on the Wifi, because it will default to 3G if it can't get a connection.

UDP Flood to Host when iPhone connected to WiFi

Have been bothered with this issue for weeks now and finally decided to ask for help. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
When my iPhone (and my wife's) are connected to the home (WiFi) network, there's a seemingly random amount of UDP Flood to Host errors in my router's security log, at random times. Because of this, the router goes into 300 sec lock-down, wherefore obviously no internet.
Using iPhone console and my router's security log doesn't provide any clear insight on what app or other configuration on the iPhone triggers this. It even happens at night when both we and our phones are supposed to be asleep. There is a slight pattern noticable when in 80% of the cases the UDP Flood is preceded by a "Sending ACK" to my iPhone.
I'm quite certain it's related to the iPhone. E.g. this morning I kept my WiFi on the phone switched off and used the internet on my notebook non-stop without any problem. The moment I turn on WiFi on my iPhone this happens:
01/02/2011 15:22:31 **UDP Flood to Host** 86.89.201.51, 32768->> 195.121.1.66, 53 (from ATM1 Outbound)
01/02/2011 15:22:31 **UDP Flood to Host** 86.89.201.51, 32768->> 195.121.1.34, 53 (from ATM1 Outbound)
01/02/2011 15:16:27 **UDP Flood to Host** 86.89.201.51, 32768->> 195.121.1.66, 53 (from ATM1 Outbound)
01/02/2011 15:16:27 **UDP Flood to Host** 86.89.201.51, 32768->> 195.121.1.34, 53 (from ATM1 Outbound)
Additional info: iPhone is iOS 4.2.1, router is Sitecom WL-304 with latest firmware installed and firewall activated. The 195.121.1.34 and .66 IP's are the DNS servers of my provider. And that it is ALWAYS port 32768. Nevertheless when I scan for action on this port using a variety of port checkers, they all say it's closed/not listening, safe, etc.

I seem to be having the exactly the same problem.
I have iPhone 4, my daughter a touch, also we have iPad as well as three wireless laptops, one wii, two ps3's all connecting wirelessly to the router - Philips sna6500. Not of course all are using the system at once!
Everything was all fine until about two - three weeks ago. Apart from us adding a ps3 to the mix in the last week, I've not changed anything.
So having read a few things, I reset the router and then slowly turning things onto to connect. As soon as used iPhone 4 it caused this udp flood statement in my security log
**UDP Flood to Host** 95.148.173.9, 32768->>193.36.79.100, 53 (from ATM1 Outbound)
Having read the reply to the earlier you can see it's the same DNS 53.
What's also made me think is I visited relatives over Christmas and my iPhone kept on dropping the connection.
So I think there is an app or recent update that's causing this problem.
Since turning off the iPhone connection to the wireless at home, it's not throwing up this error and I'm not getting access problems from my other wireless devices.
So is it my iPhone or router at fault?
Any ideas on what apps could be causing this?
If factory reset, potentially it would get rid of problem but I have to rebuild my phone again. If I backup and restore, it will restore all. So would it be your recommendation be to sync to iTunes, screen shoot all home pages on iPhone so know what specifically on my phone, and remove all non-apps, then slow add them back on, of course making sure the base system works ok.

TS3274 iPhone connecting to wifi but iPad wont

I can connect to my wifi with iPhone but iPad finding the router but not connecting

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

Iphone connect to wifi but DNS doesn't work

I have just changed my mobile phone from Android(Nexus S) to iPhone 4S. The user experiences of iphone 4S is great as expected. But, but recently I have met the "popular" problem of iPhone 4S. This happens to my new iphone 4S frequently and some time it happens to my iPad 2 as well.
The problem is that, sometime, even you see the iphone has been connected to the WiFi, you can't visit any website unless you type the IP address in the browser. Even you disconnect from the router and use 3G, you still have the problem. The only work around is to restart your iphone.
First I think it is due to the DNS service down from the router. But my other devices and computer have no problem. And I also changed the DNS server address in the iphone and the problem still exists. Even I use VPN, iphone seems not being able to parse the URL to the ip address.
So, my conclusion is that, the DNS process of my iphone crashes. Maybe due to the compatibility of the router. But I think it is more or less the bug of the iphone.
And also,some reports from the internet shows that some user have the problem by installing certain app from app store. So I think maybe it is due to some APIs related with network cause the process crash. It is also may be the scenario of mine because I just started to install a lot of applications on my iphone.
By the way, my iphone is not jail break. So I hope Apple could fix this problem officially as soon as possible. Will them?

Okay, this morning it happened again. I unplugged my iphone, surfed some pages fine. Five minutes later I woke it up again, tried to go to the app store. Nothing.
Tried to surf some newspaper sites. Nothing. So I used an IP address rather than the www.blablabla.com address and it works.
Confirmed. Some sort of cirumstances let the DNS service crash. Only IP addresses work. After a reboot (that's the only chance) it works again.

Iphone connects to wifi but wont load any data

my iphone will connect to my wifi network with a good signal but when i open safari, check weather,stocks etc. it wont load. in safari it says it cant connect to the server and in weather, stocks etc it says update failed. It just started doing this yesterday and my wifi worked before. Also my internet is working. Please help this iphone isn't even a week old!!!
PS i can connect to other wifi networks but not mine

wonder if you could perhaps help me also with a similar difficulty ?
I have the itouch and I am having a Wifi issue. Is there a particular kind of combination setting that perhaps I am not doing. What I mean is when you go to wifi settings. There is DHCP , BootP and static at the top of the page. Then at the bottom, we have off, manual and auto. Also in between all that there it displays Ip address , subnet mask, router, dns, search domains and client id.
What is a dns ? I would love to know and even better how do I get this thing to work, which did until three days ago.
Thank you in advance

IPhone connects to WiFi but won't work.

Ever since I got my iPhone 4, it connects to the WiFi but it won't do things using WiFi so I usually end up using 3G. But this only happens at my house. I works perfectly on the bus and at school. Same thing happens to my sister's iPhone 4 and recently we had guests over and I connected one of them to the WiFi and she had the same problem (iPhone 4) My dad has an iPhone 5 and I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for him. Please help. I've tried everything. Forgetting the network, resetting my phone, restoring my phone. Any suggestions please?

Seems to be a problem with your WiFi router.
If your iPhone can not access the internet using WiFi, due to low signal strength, low internet speed, router overload, or perhaps a wrong router setting (child safety lock, firewall?), it automatically accesses the internet using 3G.
You just have to find the error...
Good luck ;-)

My iPhone 4s connects to wifi networks, but internet own't work with password protected networks

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S. I have been having issues with my wifi. It works for several months, but one day for no reason I have been able to determine, the wifi stopped working. It has been many weeks since it has worked. I have tried several networks (home, work, relative's houses, etc...)
After visiting the Apple Genius Bar, I was told it was probably a software issue the wifi worked fine in the apple store on a unprotected network which showed that the wifi was able to function. It was recommended that I backup and then to a full reset to factory settings.
I did the backup and reset. It has had no effect on my ability to use internet to secured networks.
I also updated the iOS to the most recent update ( 6.0.1) to see if that would help, but it didn't.
To summarize:
-iPhone connects to wifi networks
-Unable to use internet (or other data functions) while connected to a password protected wifi...but able to do so on unprotected networks.
-Already tried resetting network settings.
-Already tried resetting to factory settings.
-Already tried updating iOS.
Thanks

Might be a wifi router issue. Try power cycling the router and/or updating it's firmware. You might also try temporarily removing any security features until you get it sorted out. If still an issue, it might be wifi on the iPhone itself... there have been many reports of wifi problems with iOS6. Have you restored as new, i.e. without your backup? You could also Google for ways to downgrade back to iOS5.
Regarding the Chipotle issue, go for the bowl instead of the burrito.

Connected to wifi but can't access

what's wrong with my iphone connected to wifi but i can't access the internet? while my friend's ipod touch and ipad1 they can access the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod and attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., router make/model, wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
Does your iPhone connect to any WiFi network?

Unable to connect to wifi in some hotels (self-assigned IP address)

I normally have no problem connecting to wifi, but in some hotels I am unable to connect and get a self-assigned IP address 169...
Having looked around the forums, in my current hotel I have tried several fixes without success (many of these probably apply to a permanent rather than intermittant problem):
- I renewed the DHCP lease
- I tried a manual IP address
- I created a new network location
- I deleted com.apple.airport.preferences
- I turned off the firewall
- I repaired disk permissions
Has anyone else found a fix to problems with some hotel wifi systems?
I can connect with my iPhone, but not my MacBook, so I am now in an internet cafe (and I don't think that you can "tether" an iPhone connected by wifi to a MacBook?).

I have finally found a solution!
I copied the IP address that the hotel had assigned to my iPhone (in the 192.168.0.xx series) into the TCP settings for the hotel network on my Mac, and then managed to get a connection (but only by using "DHCP with manual address", rather than "Manually").
But this seems to have killed the wifi connection on my iPhone: whatever I do I now get a self-assigned IP address 169... on the iPhone (there is no "DHCP with manual address" setting), so as I am in Paris I hope the Mac connection continues to work!
The general solution seems to be to use a static IP address, but in the "DHCP with manual address", which I had not tried before.
