IPhone Won't Connect to Secured Wifi

I recently got a new iPhone 4 and I am unable to connect to my secured WiFi network with it. I can connect to it just fine with my laptop, old droid phone, iPod touch. I can also connect to it if I remove the security but not if the security is on. I've looked all over online, tried everything I've read, even took it into the Apple store where they completely reset the phone, all to no avail. I also brought the phone into a Verizon store, and they were able to connect to a secured wifi hotspot in the store, so I'm going to assume its a problem with my router.
ISP: Comcast Perfromance Cable
Modem: Comcast Motorola SB5120 Cable Modem
Router: Belkin N600 D8 Wireless N+ Router (Model: F9K1102v1); firmware up to date as of today.
I went to this website, plugged in all those settings and still nothing. I simply get "Unable to connect to <Network>". The one setting that I wasn't able to match to those had to do with DHCP. By going to my cable modem's config, I can tell that the DHCP client on it is turned on. The problem is, I cannot change the modem's settings readily through that page (192.168.100.1) and when I turn off the DHCP on my router my laptop has problems maintaining a connection.
Here's some screenshots of the settings, perhaps you guys have better insight/advice/etc. I've been trying to use the 2.4ghz connection for the iPod, I don't use it for anything else so I couldn't care less what the settings are... I just want it to be secured. I use the 5.0ghz connection for my laptop and such.
Here's the Channel and SSID settings... renamed the networks for the purpose of this.
Security Settings
WPS Settings (Honestly, no idea what this does).
Lastly, LAN settings:
If it's a problem with the phone itself, I still am with the 14 day return policy.

I guess I'm stumped other than to say that it can definitely create problems if you are trying to run DHCP on your wireless router if it already enabled on your Comcast cable modem.  You only want one device managing DHCP on your network, normally the one that is the furthest "upstream"; in this case that would be your Comcast router.  I would try disabling DHCP on your router just as an experiment, then power-cycle your Comcast router, followed by your Belkin router, followed by your phone, then see if it connects successfully.  If it does, and when you restart your other devices they connect successfully, I would try to figure out how to solve the problem of the laptop not maintaining a connection.  Perhaps it needs an driver update?

  • MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

    As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet.  Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem.  We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
    We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
    We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that.  We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
    The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus.  He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thank you!!!

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

  • HT4623 I just updated to IOS7.0.2 and my iphone won't connect to my wifi.  When I select Wi-Fi in Settings it won't take me to the next step to choose my network.  It it goes further it just sticks on the connecting phase.  Any suggestions?

    Unable to connect to my Wi-Fi after upgrading to IOS 7.0.2.  Any suggestions?  Settings just freezes when I try to select Wi-Fi.

    Try a Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    And/or...
    Close All Open Apps...  Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi network

    iPhone won't connect to a wifi network - just get a message saying it won't connect to the network (it doesn't give me a message that I've got the password wrong). Other devices do join the network OK
    What should I do to try t resolve it?

    Hi,
    I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday and I'm having the same problem, my laptop, my old HTC Legend and my work macbook all connect to my wifi no problems.  My iPhone won't.
    I've read through everything I can find on here, and on Sky help and have tried:
    Resetting router
    Resetting network settings on iphone
    Using MAC address access control on the router
    Changing channels on the router
    Switching everything off and on
    Someone suggested doing 'forget network' on the iphone, but I can't find this option
    Turning off 3G and mobile data and trying to connect
    Checking password is correct (it is)
    Kind of at a loss now as to what I can do, I've emailed Sky and waiting for their advice, but should I take it back to the shop to exchange it?  Everything else I have connects just fine, no problem.
    It just says "unable to join network"
    Anyone help?
    Thanks

  • My phone (4s) won't connect to any wifi since the ios7.0.2 upgrade

    Since updating to 7.0.2 my iphone won't connect to any wifi network. I've done all the steps in help from forgetting the network to a full software reset and setting the phone up as a new device. Vodafone assured me that the next upgrade would correct the problem, it hasn't! They are now refusing to honour the warranty because the phone is now beyond its warranty ( due to waiting for the upgrade ).
    I've Been assured by the tech guys at the local apple store that the problem is not hardware because the phone can see the networks.
    Anyone know if apple have any plans to fix the wifi problem any if so when ?

    Yes I've already restored the phone, once unconnected and again via iTunes, both times I set it up as a new phone and didn't restore the data or settings, I also deleted the iCloud account first so it couldn't backup from the cloud. The fault was exactly the same each time.
    As far as the warranty I'm sick of arguing with Vodafone, the phone was in warranty when I reported the fault so you would think that they would honor the warranty, however I'm told by Vodafone that when I asked for a repair the warranty had expired.
    Apple tell you all about European consumer law which provides additional protection, when you look into this it is advisory only and has no enforcement powers ( I've checked this with the ecl website).
    Basically I'm stuck between two multinational companies that appear not to give a s*** about their customers!

  • Wifi on Ipad and Iphone won't connect

    I have an iphone 4s and an ipad mini, both updated to iOS 7 and they both will not connect to wifi. They will connect when I am at home or at Starbucks etc., but not while I am at school. My phone did connect at school last year, but has not been able to connect this year. They will both say that I am connected, but when I go to use the internet it says I am not, even though it shows I am. The tech guys at my school have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas?

    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-netwhttp://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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi

    My iphone won't connect to my home wifi. It say's connected but when i try and go online it say's unable to connect. I've tried forgetting the network, turning wifi off and on. The ip address is ok and my laptop connects ok.
    Has anyone got any ideas about how i can fix it?

    I am having the same issues as GirlyGirl.  Every other day or so my iPhone 3GS won't connect to wifi.  Before I was showing the wifi signal as if it were attached but I couldn't surf Safari.  Now even though under the wifi settings it shows I'm connected, I don't get the wifi fan showing I'm connected.  I've done the following:
    Renewed lease
    Forgotten network
    Reset Network Settings
    Reboot my iPhone
    Two days ago when I rebooted the router and Reset Network Settings it started working correctly.
    I've been working with my internet provider, they tell me my firmware on my 2wire is up to date & the issue is definitely with my iPhone.
    Security Settings:  WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES)
    My iPhone is attaching to the 169.x IP Address and the Subnet is 255.255.0.0. The router, DNS and Search Domains are blank.
    Also to note, I changed the name of my device through the gateway router so I could identify it more easily.  As of today it had defaulted back to the old name which is the ip address. Even if I don't change anything it isn't keeping those settings.
    Other than restarting my router and taking everything down for 15 minutes each time, what else can I try?

    If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

    The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
    If that doesn't work then
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
    If that doesn't work
    Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
    Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    I hope one of these will help.

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to 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 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then 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., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
