IPhone won't automatically join my home network

My original iPhone (not 3g) won't seem to automatically join my home network. I can only join if I go into network settings and tell it to. It does, however, join other trusted networks that it sees but for some reason, not at home. What's really weird is that my wife has the exact same phone and her's automatically joins without any problem. I've even compared the network settings for both phones and they are exactly the same. Any suggestions?
Thanks

As a first step, delete this wireless network from your iPhone.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Select to view your wireless network settings for this network and at the top, select Forget This Network.
Rejoin the network and test if this resolves the problem.

  • I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on.  It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

    Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
    On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
    Power down (unplug) your wireless router
    Restart your iPhone
    Plug in your router
    Re-join that network
    I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled

  • IOS devices won't automatically join Airport Express network

    I'm at a friends place in New Zealand at the moment. I originally set up their network for them so know all about it. It's very simple. ISP router with wireless turned off. Ethernet cable into an Airport Extreme. That's it. The Airport Extreme is serving all the wireless traffic. They are a Mac only household.
    I can get MacBooks to automatically connect when they come in and out of the house or turn wifi off and on but can not get this to work for iOS devices. If I go and manually join to the wireless network it happily joins without asking for a password but it will not auto join. When a device that was previously connected to the network comes back within range it refuses to automatically connect even if it's right next to the Airport. Even after I do join an iOS device to the network if the phone sleeps or autolocks it immediately loses connection again and won't auto join.
    I've tried restarting everything including the iOS devices, Airport Extreme and ISP router. Everything is on the latest versions. iOS 8.0.2 for the iOS devices and the Airport Extreme is on 7.6.4. There's nothing else to restart. Any clues anyone?

    Can Anyone help? Apple?

  • Macbook no longer connects automatically with my home network

    When i travel and return home, my macbook no longer will automatically join my home network. Is there a way to make the current network your on a 'trusted' network or a default network to join via airport?
    thanks!

    Have you tried adding your home wireless network as a "Preferred Network" in your MacBook's AirPort settings?
    o System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort

  • IPhone 4s won't automatically join known open wi-fi network

    I have an iPhone 4s with the latest software update. Under settings>wi-fi>ask to join networks..  It is turned off.
    If I am at home , the iPhone 4s will join my secured home network automatically , every time I walk in the door.
    But, when I walk into work, it will not AUTOMATICALLY join an open unsecured known network.  I always have to go to settings>wi-fi>and manually touch "linksys" and it will join.
    I have ran some tests with my iPhone and iPad side by side at work....
    With both devices connected to the open linksys network, I will turn wi-Fi off on both devices, then turn it back on. The iPad will automatically rejoin the linksys open network every time, the iPhone does not automatically join. I always have to select it manually.
    I have tried several remedies...  I have selected "forget this network", and then rejoined it.  I have reset my network settings. I have turned the "ask to join networks switch "on and off". And I have done a hard reset on the phone. All to no avail. Any suggestions???

    So , I figured out the problem. Somewhere along the lines, I told iPhone to "forget" an unsecurednetwork also named "linksys". Well,  just so happens that the open network at my office that the iPhone wouldn't automatically join was also named "linksys". unfortunately, my iPhone was doing EXACTLY what I told it to do 2 years ago when it kept trying to connect to some other open network also named "linksys".
    What I find funny, is that even with a network settings reset on iPhone, it still remembered to "forget" the "linksys" network. But, I found a workaround by going to settings>wifi>other> then typing "linksys" in the network name without a password. Now it "remembers" linksys networks.

  • IPhone 5s won't automatic connect to cellular network after the wifi connection lost.

  • Iphone won't automatically re-connect to wi-fi; have to re-enter password each time

    I just "upgraded" my wi-fi router to a Netgear WNDR3400.  Everything seems to be set up fine, and I'm able to connect with our various iphones, ipads, and AppleTV.  But our iphones won't automatically re-connect to the network after the connection is lost, and we have to re-enter the password when we re-connect.
    Kind of stumped here.

    These didn't work, but oddly enough what worked was choosing "other" network, typing the name of my network in (even though it already showed up in the list of networks), indicating WEP encryption, and typing the password in. 
    Disconnected a few times and was able to automatically connect.
    Kind of odd if you ask me.

    I updated yesterday to ios 5.1 and now I am unable to join my home network. I have reset network connections, restarted, entered correct name and passwords and get the message "unable to join ____".  i didn't have this problem until the update. Any other suggestions?

    Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in).  Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

  • My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network

    My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network, I have to put in my password for the router every time I turn on the printer from the printer keyboard.  Is there anyway that the printer will automatically connect to my network?

    Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc). 
    When you turn off your printer, are you totally removing power from it (like shutting off a power strip)?

  • UNIX to Automatically Join an Open Network

    I am looking for a UNIX command or a preferences file that will let me change a preference to many computers.
    What I want to change is in Network Preferences, Airport, click the Options button and next to
    "If no recent networks are found:"
    I want to change this from "Ask before joining an open network" to Automatically join an open network".
    Thanks

    Hi James,
       I don't use Airport so I can't give you explicit advice. However, info about is often posted here so let me take a shot to get things rolling. A nice utility that Apple provides to make changes to an Airport network interface is
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/\
    Versions/A/Resources/airport
    According to the help printout of that utility, the preference file for it is:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/\
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Note that I've broken both paths into two lines to that the rendering of this thread doesn't get messed up.

  • Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

    Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

    I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G.  It will access other wifi signals.  My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook.  This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
    Help!  I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

  • TS1398 Unable to get my iphone 5 to connect to my home network

    Unable to get my iphone 5 to connect to my home network, there is no "Forget Network" option on the phone and I have many other Apple devices connected successfully so I know the network works and the password.  Can anyone help?

    Are you using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 for your network security?  If you are using WEP, I am not sure that it is still supported.  I know that some people have had issues not being able to connect to some networks until they changed the security to be more secure.  SOme of them even just changed their initial WPA key to be more complex and that resolved it for them.

  • ITouch mail won't work on my home network, works everywhere else.

    My 2nd generation itouch's email won't work on my home network. I get a message that says something like "Unable to connect to Pop3 server." It works on other people's home networks, public networks, etc. Just not mine. I'm guessing my router / modem has a setting somewhere that is the problem. Verizon won't help me because it's a device problem, not an internet problem (their opinion). I have read all of the posts on the forum about this mail issue, but since it works everywhere else, I don't think it's an itouch issue. It's a Verizon Westell modem. thanks for any help.

    I have had the same problem and just solved it. My home wireless is with ATT and they told me they have been receiving a lot of problems with users suddenly unable to gain access to wi-fi in their home. When we checked my wireless home connection the I.P address on my ITouch was incorrect. The prior IP address was not correct and 'somehow' got corrupted...no one knows how that happened. My cust service rep was excellent and walked me through renaming my wireless hardware as well as changing my channel - and it worked. we changed the name of my wireless modem/router, then changed the channel...to a different number than it was. You are correct in that the problem is with home service. my rep actually took me to an ip address ---numbers not a www address where we made the changes- I hope this helped. If I can be of assistance please let me know.
