Mi iphone5 won't save my home wifi as a known network

I need to know if anyone else is having this same problem. When I choose my wifi network at home I enter my access code and everything works fine, but if I leave and come back I have to re-enter the access code to get back on my wifi network. WHY????

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

Hi shelly92555,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your current situation. If you are saying that you are unable to unlock the original iPhone due to a passcode issue, you may find the following article helpful:

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?

IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
It's only my iPod that won't connect.
Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device 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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Certain podcast won't download in home WiFi

hi,
recently the podcast "NBC Nightly News(video)" (also the audio one) stopped updating and downloading using my home wifi, even when i force it to update it doesn't recognise there are new episodes and when i choose certain episode (after 3.12.14) and try to download it shows Download error. without specifying what is the error), the last epsiode it recognises is from 3.12.14, the problem occurs on my iPad, iPhone and PC, however using different wifi network (such as university wifi) the podcast updates regularly and downloads the episodes.
I own iPhone 4S and iPad 4 both using iOS 8.1.2.
Is there a way to detect what the problem is? i don't have the problem with other podcasts, and i am not sure what to check with my network (assuming it's the problem).
thanks
guy

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of. It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

Tried everything - ipad2 still won't connect to home wifi

Situation
- home network wireless router is a linksys wrt54g - no login
- other laptops connect fine
- ipod touch connects fine
- new ipad2 works fine on home wifi until I upgrade to ios5.0.1
- now see three bars in the upper left next to the word ipad, with a spinning circle to the right of that when I open Safari (just hangs trying to open any site)
- new ipad2 works fine on other wifi (office, airplane, public hotspots) both before and after upgrade
- set to DHCP with a local IP address of 192.168.1.102, subnet of 255.255.255.0, router of 192.168.1.1,
What have I tried?
- turning wi-fi off and on w/in the ipad2 wifi networks screen
- hard reset of the ipad2 (home / power until apple logo, then release)
- network settings reset
- forget this network
- power cycling the router and cable modem
- manually deleting the ipad2 from the dhcp clients table via the router admin gui
- switching on and off airplane mode
- adding and deleting a client id from the network screen (by default it is blank)
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

So - after spending an hour on the phone/hold with apple with no solutions - I did a reset of the router - leaving the default SSID of 'linksys' - and it now works.

I'm trying to set up a new ipad4. It won't access my home wi-fi. The network is ok because this iPad is currently on it. It won't connect to iTunes either. What can I do?

I'm trying to set up a new ipad4. It won't access my home wi-fi. The wi-fi is working because I'm using another iPad to type this. The new one won't connect to my iTunes account either. What can I do now?

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-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

Won't connect to home wifi?

why won't this **** thing connect to my home network? It was working previously and now won't connect. wifi is operational with other devices. ***???

Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If that doesn't work, cycle power on your network router.
If neither of those work (unlikely), try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home keys together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Ipod touch won't connect to home wifi?

the wifi was working fine until yesterday and now the connection won't even show up even though it works fine on my laptop. i've tried turning the ipod off and on, i've tried resetting the router, i've tried resetting the network settings on the ipod, still nothing. i can't do the thing where you hold down the power button and the home button because the power button is broke and the home button is almost broken as well. please help!!!

I have the same problem. I tried restart, restore software (even though it is brand new!), reset network settings, restarted modem + router. All my other non-Apple wifi connection are perfectly fine. Just the same message: "UNABLE TO JOIN THE NETWORK".

Just upgraded to ISO8 and now my iphone 4s won't connect to home wifi - keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when it's not - help please.......

Please help me - I've just upgraded my Iphone 4s to ISO8 and now I can't connect to wifi - was at my friends yesterday - always use his wifi and even though the password was correct, it wouldn't accept it. Came home and had the same problem. I can't use my data plan as it wouldn't be enough so now it's chewing through it.........The only thing I did different was upgrade......... I'm not computer savy so please leave me step by step instruction on how to fix if you can. I've tried rebooting etc and turning everything off - no luck.......

Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Then select Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your password when it requests it
After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
Good luck!

Pictures won't save to home screen.

I just upgraded from an 8310 to an 8320. I moved all my applications and everything over to the new BB with the BB Device Manager. Now I can't save any of my pictures as my home screen. I have tried using different pictures and taking new pictures and can't save any of them. HELP please !

Ditto, try a different theme.
When you say you can't save your pictures a wallpaper, do you mean the choice to make the image your wallpaper is not there, or it is available, and nothing happens?
Details, please.

My iPhone5 won't remember my home wi-fi. Was OK on 4S

Wi-fi memory is fine at other higher speed locations, but not at home. Was OK with 4S before upgrade to IOS6.
I can force the wi-fi each day, but seems very slow. Getting tired of that. Home wi-fi service is slow; speedtest.net shows 179ms ping, 350kbs up, 111kbs down.
Wireless router is Netgear... doesn't do IPv6.
Suggestions welcomed...
Thanks,
Don

Not sure where the best place to put this reply and I can't find the comment I read last night where the guy said that Apple Tech Support told him to change his SSID on his router to something other than the default (mine was... NETGEAR), but F**k Me and bless his little head, that SSID change solved my problem. I have been suffering with horrible speed and inability to remember my home connection for months now since I got my iPhone5 and changing my SSID to a non-default name fixed the problem? Tell me that this doesn't mean that some Apple programmer wrote some kind of routine not to fail, but to impede smooth operation when common default names for router SSID's were encountered? When I came home tonight... boom, my phone remembered my home network... no problem; first time since I've had the phone. Before I looked to see what was going on, I said to myself that the SSID change I made can't have been the answer.... F**k Me!
My next phone is going to be an Android!!!
Really, Peace Out!

IPhone 6 won't connect to home WiFi - Password Incorrect!

So, I got my brand new iPhone 6 yesterday.. Everything seems to work fine, except for internet connection..
Every time I attempt to connect, it rejects me, and tells me that the password is incorrect.
I also, can't really reach the the network by walking only 10 meters away.. I really have to stand right next to the router to get a chance.
I've tried reseting my phone completely, and it still doesn't work.
I can easily connect at school, that why I really can't decide if it's a hardware issue, or if it's my home network.
I just don't get it... Because we're a lot of users at home, we got tons of devices connected to the specific network. And its working impeccable.
So my question is.... Does this have something to do with iOS 8 and it's wellknown bugs, or do I have to get my iPhone replaced?

I just tried this and it worked, hopefully it works for you too, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out and nothing worked, I tried rebooting both my phone and the router, turning the airplane mode, etc etc I even took the password requirement off my router and still it would say "unable to join network"
All along it was my router and not my phone.
The routers have a list of allowed devices, called MAC filtering addresses, I had to manually add my phone's address and that fixed the "incorrect password issue"
I went to General > About > Wi-Fi address (copy that long number/letters thing) then log into your router and access the MAC filtering allowed devices list and enter that address in there and save it, that indicates to your router that your phone is allowed to access the network.
As soon as my husband added that address I tried entering the network password on my phone and finally it connected
Good luck!
