IPhone "forgets" wifi networks after 3.0 upgrade

Hi all! I did the 3.0 upgrade last night and I'm loving it!!!!! Everything works - including MMS! However, I have one problem. Before the upgrade, whenever I'd wake up my phone, or move from home to work, it remembered my wifi networks and joined them automatically.
It now STOPPED doing that. Even when it sleeps/locks and I wake it up 5 minutes later, I need to MANUALLY go into my settings, search and find my wireless network and then check it to join... funny thing is, it doesn't ask me for a password, it remembers it and joins. It just doesn't seem to remember the network and join automatically.
Help?

I have the same problem, but the proposed solution here does not work. There is only one network that the iPhone fails to remember - my work wifi that uses WPA Enterprise encryption with EAP TLS.
Connecting to the network is not a problem, all works well, but the phone does not remember the connection as it did under 2.2.1. There is no "Forget Network" at the top of the connection details screen. Other networks seem to work fine, and can be remembered, or forgotten, as per normal. I've reset network settings, which is no help.

If iPhone 6+ doesn't see WiFi network after iOS 8.3 upgrade, restart router and iPhone

PROBLEM: After upgrading my iPhone 6+ to iOS 8.3, the iPhone initially would not "see" the presence of my Apple Airport WiFi network.
This was bizarre because the credentials were saved on the iPhone, the WiFi network had been continuously up, my Mac Air remained continuously logged in to the Airport WiFi, and the iPhone was able to see other WiFi networks I didn't wish to connect to such as xfinity's and the neighbor's. Just not mine.
Manually entering the network name and password had no effect.
SOLUTION: Restart the Airport WiFi router. Then restart the iPhone 6+. Now the iPhone 6+ sees and connects to the WiFi network automatically as usual.
Hope this helps some folks!

I Apologize for the long overdue reply. If your using a pc with your iPhone it is a common problem i noticed since i had iPhone 3GS, although it can occasionally happen with mac but you if backed the phone with the issue will get the same issue you had since it will be in the backup it backups software on phone as well you see.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Droid Maxx Won't Forget WiFi Network

Hey all,
I just upgraded to a new Droid Maxx and I'm running into a frustrating problem. I configured a wireless network at the office (a limited guest network) and connected to it just fine. I then got connected to the full permission WiFi network and I decided to drop the guest network. I went to drop the WiFi network from WiFi - Manage Networks - Forget and it worked. Temporarily. I came back a few minutes later and it had reconnected to that guest network (which requires a password) and that guest network appears in my list of networks when I go to Manage Networks. I tried to Forget it again, which works, but once I lock the phone and come back a few minutes later, that network is back in my list of networks under Managed Networks. The problem is that it keeps connecting to this network. I've tried rebooting the phone and that doesn't help. The really odd thing is that when I Forget the network from Manage Networks, it comes back complete with the password. The only work-around I have found is to leave the network in my Manage Network list and change the password to something incorrect so it cannot connect. However if I then Forget that network with the bad password, it comes back with the correct password. My question is - what can I do to permanently remove that WiFi network from my Manage Networks list (short of a hard reset of the phone)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Lee

That's odd. All of my devices will forget a wifi network after I long press to get a dialog and choose "forget network".
Try forgetting the network when you are in a different location and not in range of that wifi network. Reboot the phone afterwards and see if the wifi network remains gone from the saved list.
Hope this helps.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

TS4209 Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2.

System does not automatically reconnect to wifi network after sleep/restart

My iMac G4 (2GB RAM, 10.5.1, AirPort Extreme) does not automatically reconnect to my wife network after waking from sleep or restart. I just recently switched the iMac from a wired to wireless set-up though the machine has always had the AirPort card. In wired mode, it always automatically found the network.
Network preferences have the "Ask to join new networks" checkbox selected. Below the checkbox it reads "Known networks will be joined automatically."
My wireless router is Linksys WRT150N, security type is PSK and encryption method is AES key.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, the only way i can connect to my wireless network is to restart the computer, and open safari immediately. Then once it goes to sleep or i shut the notebook, i have to restart it again to use the internet. It's driving me nuts, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've tried firefox (it didn't help) and my sisters macbook connects just fine to my network, so it has to be a network setting. I'm going to schedule an appointment with a mac store tomorrow. so I'll post again when they fix it for me. hopefully i will understand how they solve the problem so i can post it to you guys

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released. Or were you simply trying to be funny?
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.

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

This does not work in my case.
Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

Hey mjmsurrey60,
It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network. I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
Unplug the 8600 while powered on
Unplug the power from the router
COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode. Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone. The steps are similar for other iDevices.
Wait 30-60 seconds
Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
Plug the 8600 back in for power
Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
Try to print again
Let me know the results.

Can't Connect to WiFi Network After Changing Encryption

I have an iPod Touch that no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
Some background: I have an aipport extreme base station with three XP laptops, an iMac and a printer connected to it wirelessly. I use a WPA Personal password. My wife's iPhone connects without a problem.
I recently changed the password on the base station to WPA Personal because one of the laptops could not connect using WEP (solution to inconsistent hashing of 13 character password problem found elsewhere in this forum). Ever since changing the password, the iPod touch will not connect.
I have looked for, but cannot find the "Forget Network" button on the wifi network page on the iPod touch (I understand that button appears after you have successfully connected to the network). I have reset the iPod up to and including removing all data.
When I go into the settings>wifi menu, I see the network's SSID. When I input the password, I get a "cannot connect to . . . " message.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Wifi printing after Mountain Lion upgrade, "printer not connected" error

I have Canon MP610 printer. Was getting error message "Looking for printer" or "Printer not connected" after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8. Printing works fine when I directly plug in USB cord to MacBook Pro to print. However, on the wifi network, no luck. Today I have upgraded Canon's latest driver, reset the printer system, deleted printers from system icon in System Preferences, added new printer back in..... Nothing.
I have reset Time Capsule, where my printer USB is currently plugged into.
Nothing.
Please advise what to try next...??

I already had AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion machine and upgraded to Mountain Lion with no issues. AirPort Utiliy 5.6 works fine as does AirPort Utility 6.1.
But, I did not try to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 since it was already on the Mac.
Please try again and report on your results.

WPA-Enterprise WIFI dropping after IOS 6 Upgrade

We use WPA-Enterprise authentication for our WIFI and since upgrading to IOS 6 the connection needs to be reautenticated everytime the iPad is unlocked. This is a major inconveience. With IOS 5 you only autenticated one time and whenever you unlocked your iPad you were already connected.
These are the required settings which IOS 6 still automatically navigates, but it doesn't maintain the login name and password (which autheticates to a RADIUS server):
Network Authentication: WPA-Enterprise
Data Encryption: AES or TKIP
EAP method: PEAP
Inner EAP method: MS-CHAP v2
Check Use Windows user name and password
Uncheck Validate Server certificate

It is forgetting the network everytime the iPad sleeps - even when it doesn't require an unlock passwod.

Connecting a second iPhone to wifi network

I currently have two iPhones in the house. One 16gb for myself and another 8gb for my wife. When I was setting my wifi connection it took a number of attempts and I finally got it to work, which it is doing very nicely.
Now when I come to try and connect the second iPhone to the wifi network, it won't accept it. I am using exactly the same details as the first iPhone uses to connect successfully.
Please can you tell me if there is anything I need to check or configure - my wife is all for throwing the phone in the bin.
:o(

weestoater,
Try forgetting the Wi-Fi network on the iPhone that will not join the network. Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>) to the right of the network name, then Forget This Network. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If the iPhone still cannot join the Wi-Fi network, we may need to look at the router settings. Make sure the router is set to distribute enough IP addresses. Also Make sure the iPhone MAC address is added to the filter list, if MAC address filtering is enabled(as SisterBlue said). The iPhone MAC address is listed under Settings> General> About, the Wi-Fi address.
