IPods can't connect to WiFi at home - password correct

Hi, for some reason - no idea why -  the WiFi went out at my place, couldn't connect laptops or iPods. I called out the service engineer. He gave me a new modem, and during the process, we changed the network name and password. My laptops now both connect to the new network no problem, however my iPods don't.
The iPods detect the new network name and the password entered is definitely correct - it works on my laptops, mobile phone etc - but I just get a "failed ot connect to network" message. If I type in a deliberately incorrect password on my iPod, I get a "wrong password" message, so it's defo not a password issue.
Have tried powering of the modem & router for an extended period of time - no change to the situation.
I have also tried hard resets on both iPods, resetting network preferences on the iPods - both times no dice.
It's one iPod 4th Gen, one iPod 3rd gen both using the latest version of iOS.
iPods both connect to networks at cafés, work etc with no problems whatsoever. Any idea how I can fix this? Cheers in advance.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try:
- 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

- Restore from backup. See:

    Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

  • IPhone can't connect to wifi at home

    periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house.  We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem.   Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones.  Do I have a bad router?  

    From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

  • Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi put in the correct password but won't accept it, any ideas??

    Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi, i get as far as the password put in the correct password but it won't accept it, any ideas?? Thanks

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • Can't connect to wifi at home on MacBook Pro or iPhone 4S

    I recently moved and got set up with a new (cable) internet provider. Since that time, I have been unable to connect to wireless on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone 4S. I can connect via ethernet. I can connect via other people's wireless (coffee shops, library, etc.). Sometimes, I get a "connection timeout error occurred" message. Other times, it looks like wifi is connected, but when I try to visit a URL on a browser, the blue bar moves about a centimeter across the address bar and stops. Email doesn't work, etc. The technician who set up my internet tried for nearly three hours to figure out why it wasn't working and concluded it must be a problem with my computer. It seems odd that I would only have problems at home, but I'm not an expert. Hoping someone here is, and can help. I work from home so this is rather frustrating (especially since connecting via ethernet means sitting in the living room instead of my office and tempting the dog to trip on the cord). Thanks for reading!

    What is the make & model of the new wireless router that you ISP has provided you? Are you able to administer it if needed?
    For the MacBook Pro, try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Can't connect to wifi at home

  • My iphone 4, can't connect to wifi at home... new version of IOS was updated version 6.1.3

    i was trying to connect my wifi connections at home but unfortunately i cant connect. i've tried to reboot my router, my phone itself but same thing. i've search on internet how to resolve this by following those instructions but nothing happens. please help!!!
    "Try going to settings, wifi, click on the arrow to the right of your wifi network name, click forget this network, Turn off wifi,  go back out of settings, reset your phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. Then go back into wifi turn it on and resign back into your wifi with your password if it has one."

    This is nothing special:
    turn off wifi in your phone, disconnect modem and router from power, wait 10 seconds, connect the modem and wait till it is fully started, then connect the router to power and wait a few seconds till it has started, then set wifi on in your phone.

  • Can't connect to WiFi-nets with password

    I am not quite sure that this is the right place to post this question, but feel free to move it to where it belongs, any moderator:)
    I have encountered a problem I didn't have earlier with my iBook trying to connect to WiFi-nets - it seems impossible to connect with passwords - only the net I have at home with Airport Express works, password included.
    As soon as I find a net which doesn't require passwords, it all works.
    I experienced this for the first time in February when I visited the newspaper I am working for, which is all Macintosh. They gave me the password to be able to log in to their wireless net, but I just received a message which reads something like An error occurred when attempting to log on to xxx net. Retry? OK. (Translated from Norwegian)
    On the same trip, I could log on to public nets where you come to an opening page where you fill in username and pass, but when I visited my mother's where my brother has put up a wireless router, neither my mother's new iMac nor my iBook could connect and we received the same message and had to use Ethernet cables.
    It seems to have gotten worse, since I the other day tried to connect to a public network here where I live and with which I have had no problems earlier, but now I receive that same error message.
    I suspect that it may be caused by some minor bug in the latest update to Tiger, since another problem with Bluetooth, which went unresolved here, disappeared with that update. But instead, I have gotten this. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong and there is a solution out there:)
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iSight
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight

    Nothing but perfect.
    As for the log in page not appearing, I read in another topic here that sometimes it might help to try Firefox or IE instead of Safari as they might have coded it that way or something to that effect, but the problem is that Airport doesn't even connect to the net as it did earlier. The only thing which happens is that message.
    In another forum, someone discovered that if the card is not firmly placed into the contacts, problems may occur, but since I have had no problems earlier and haven't touched the card and it was not installed by me, I very much doubt that it is the case here - and it works with open nets without passwords...

  • Can't connect to WiFi at home (DLink Access Point)

    Only had my iPhone for a few days now. I am trying to connect to my wifi network at home but it is just not working. I have a DLink wireless access point and have no problems connecting to it with my laptop. iPhone sees the network allows me to enter site password, but then just switches back to Edge. It doesn't seem that DHCP is setting the correct network settings on the iPhone. Any advice for troubleshooting? I see no errors, nothing to go on.

    wahiggins3,
    First, make sure you have the latest firmware installed for your D-Link. Many routers, and D-Link is not alone in this, don't always provide information via DHCP using the accepted standards for DHCP. Any updates that mention digital devices or gaming consoles usually address that issue.
    Second, what security are you using on the router? Are you using MAC or hardware address filtering?
    Personally when entering my password for the wireless network at my in-laws I had to slow down and remember that the letter that will be typed will pop up if you hold your finger on the screen. If it is incorrect you can slide your finger to the correct one, and then lift it off the screen.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • I can't connect to wifi at home.

    Technically it's "connected", but when I try to load Safari, it won't load up Safari and gives me the notification saying it's not connected. It says it has 3-bar signal. If it helps, when I examined my network setting on my iPod, my network automatically loeaded the IP address and the Subnet Mask, but the Router, DNS, etc. were blank for some reason. I could've swore there were numbers that automatically load there too. Can anyone help me out? Is it a problem with the network? Or is it my old 2nd gen iPod touch that's the problem??
