Iphone will not connect to wi-fi now that I have hooked up my Time Capsule

I finally got my Time Capsule hoohed up and working and now my iphone and both my ipods will not connect to the wi-fi network.   I had airport express before I got the Time Capsule and the wi-fi worked fine with my iphone and both ipods.  How can I fix this.  Can I use my old airport express and the Time Capsule?  How?

The TC should work..
You need to lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz band.
To do that log into the TC.. (airport utility, manual setup, airport, wireless page)
Change wireless name to short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
In advanced change the 5ghz name to different one.. but same rules. eg TC5ghz.. (name for 2.4ghz can be TC24ghz)
Lock wireless to a/n - b/g
Lock the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. (5ghz also but less of an issue, the iphone and ipods use 2.4ghz).
Select one of the 3, non overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11
Start with 6, if that fails, try 11 and lastly 6.
Set security to either WPA or better WPA2 Personal. Passkey should be same rules as above.. but 8-12 characters, non-dictionary.
You can plug the airport express into the TC, but IMHO better getting the TC working.

  • I can not open iWeb now that I have tried to use time capsule to update?

    I am a big user of iweb. I updated my computer to lion about a month ago and iweb transferred right over without any issues. I was working in iweb tonight and about an hour into my work, iweb unexpectedly closed. When i tried to open it back up, nothing was saved and I lost my work. I went into my time capsule and found a back up from 10 mins before and decided to update from that point in time. When i did so, it now wont let me open iweb at all. It says there is a problem. I have to get back into iweb. how do i do so? thank you

  • My iphone will not connect to my home wi-fi and have tried every solution given on the internet. anybody got any help?

    So i have had this iphone for under 2 months and i never usually have a problem with its wi-fi. One day suddenly it wouldnt connect to my home Sky wi-fi although it would connect to my college wi-fi which is manually connected by an IT consultant. I also tried to connect it to my dads wi-fi and it connected and then disconnected. Everytime i try to connect it just says 'Unable to connect'. Tried everything, erased everything off my phone and rebooted it, nothing will work. Someone help because im using all my 3g!!!!

    Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

  • I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

    Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
    iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

    I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

  • Imac connects to time capsule through wifi but ipad and iphone will not connect

    I just installed the new Airport Time Capsule.  My Imac connects fine through wifi bit my ipad and iphone will not connect to the wifi.  They appear in the wifi settings in the devices but will not connect.  I have reset modem and time capsule and tried forget network and nothing is working.  ANy assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks

    So I called apple support being fairly certain that I wasn't going to be able to fix this over the phone but essentially, it now works flawlessly with my iOS devices. Here is what I did.
    I have a Motorola cable modem surfboard 6421.
    I reset my network settings to dhcp and NAT from the default bridge only mode which the tech said only allows one device to connect at a time. Considering my MBA was already connected to the AE, that would explain why my other iOS devices wouldn't connect. After I changed the settings for the network to DHCP and NAT, the router restarted. I then disconnected the power and coaxial cable from the cable modem and reconnected it and once everything came back up, all devices connected fine. Good throughout and signal. Hope this helps.

  • After the ios 7 update, my iphone will not connect to my iMac iTunes because "it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later." but my iTunes says all software is up to date...can anyone help??

    iPhone will not connect to my iTunes. I am running iTunes version 10.6.3 on my iMac runing Mac OS X version 10.5.8. All of my updates say "up to date" but this is obviously not the case. Can anyone help me out?

    Hi,
    Your iTunes is up to date for your OS X.
    iTunes 11 requires in intel mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later. If your computer is compatible you will need to purchase Snow Leopard upgrade from Apple store.

    my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

    Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
    Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup.  However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.

  • Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

    My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
    I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
    I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
    what do i do?

    If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

    I've rebooted several times and reset the network settings, all to no avail.
    Any other ideas?

  • IPhone will not connect to Linksys WAG54G Wi-Fi

    I can not get my iPhone to connect through my wireless router. I have even tried a reset on my router. My laptop works fine, but my iPhone will not connect. I can see the connection, but i get an 'Unable to join the network' message each time i try to connect.

    Nothing on the phone can be changed to make it work unless a Software update was released to fix whatever was preventing a proper connection.
    Can you connect to any WiFi networks at all? If so then it does isolate it to something with the router.
    Based on what you said. You go to Settings - WiFi - You see your network, Tap on it. And Unable to Join?
    So you never get a check-mark by the network name?
    If you do actually get a check-mark next to your network, tap on the Blue circle. Would be interesting to see what the IP address started with.
    Based on what you said when you disabled security, Did the iPhone no longer show a Padlock next to the WiFi network?
    Also try changing the SSID sometimes that oddly works.

    If you have connected to other wi-fi successfully, then your wi-fi should be working. Try power cycling the router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it has come back, try connecting again.
