Iphone will not connect to wi-fi unless beside modem

iphone will not connect to wi-fi unless beside modem

Hi Folks!
I've had spotty connection to wifi since I upgraded to iOS 4.0 with a little improvement with iOS 4.0.2. Yesterday I updated to iOS 4.1 and I am getting no connection at all.
I've rebooted several times and reset the network settings, all to no avail.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

    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.

  • IPhone 5 says it has 3G, but will not connect to the internet unless connected to wifi

    iPhone will not connect to any apps connected to Internet or send IMessages. I can still call and text. I have tried resetting network settings, starting from factory settings, and a hard reset. Other info: I have straight talk. I recently updated my phone. Apps work when connected to internet.

    Having 3G doesn't mean you can connect to the Internet.
    You must have Cellular Data properly provision by your carrier.
    Also check iPhone Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Mobile/Cellular Data: ON

  • 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.

    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.

  • My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

    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 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?

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled.

    My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled. this was the diagnosis of the belkin router support tech, who spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with me. my service provider is new -- one link. (Apple does not provide tech support to puerto rico after the 90 day free service expires.)

    Read this for suggestions: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Especially note the section on using WEP security keys. In fact, if you are using WEP for security, change to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure. It can be cracked in seconds with widely available S/W.

  • My iphone will not connect to my itunes, although it makes a noise when it is plugged into my laptop?

    my iphone will not connect to my itunes, although it makes a noise when it is plugged into my laptop? My Iphone will not show up on my Itunes

  • My iphone will not connect to itunes

    My iphone will not connect to itunes

    There are some things you should verify:
    1-Is your cable genuine, or can it handle sync?
    2-If the answer above is yes, verify if it isn't broken. Try another cable anyway.
    3-Is your usb port working with other devices such as pendrives?
    4-Is your iphone connecting to other computers?
    5-If possible, do not connect your iphone to a hub.
    If the problem is not above, then it's not a hardware problem, but there are a few alternatives you could try:
    1-Update iTunes to latest version
    2-Reboot iPhone (press home+power button for 10 seconds until the screen goes black, then turn it back on)
    3-Full-Cycle charge your iPhone (from 20% or lower to 100%)
    4-If you have windows, unninstall iTunes and install it again
    5-See if any other program in your computer is using the iPhone (such as iFunBox)
    Let me know if none of these solutions work
