My ipad 2 from verizon will not join my wifi network!

I just got a new iPad 2 and it won't connect to my home wifi network. My husband just got a iPhone and we got his connected with no trouble,but mine keeps saying unable to join network. I have a pc connected and have no problem. My daughter was not able to get her Mac connected when she was here last either. Any ideas? I really don't want to pay for Internet at home through Verizon!

One other easy thing to try is to just restart your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. Then hold the sleep button until the Apple log appears to power up. Then try again. And another obvious thing that you don't want to overlook is make sure you entered the correct password for your network.
Rather than just keep posting back and forth here are any number of things that you can try in these two support articles. Go through them and if you still can't connect then post back and maybe someone can offer help.

TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. 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-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

When i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

when i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

BobTheFisherman, thank you
I'm grateful that you helped me with understanding it. Now I get it.
Dah•veed, with all due respect,
What I asked about is the same thing ahmedsamiul707 asked about. I just wanted to know something more about the same thing. When you read the forum, you can see many threads which are exactly the same. Why add another thread if you have the same question? Only wanted an explanation. Was that so hard?
So to make it clear - as BobTheFisherman provided - all iPads are unlocked.

IPhone 4s will not join Netgear wireless network at home

Since my upgrade to iPhone 4s & OS 5 my phone will not connect to wireless network @ home via a Netgear router: asks for password & then tells me it's an incorrect password. My iMac, iPad & MacBook are all able to join this network, as is my husband's iPhone (one generation older). In addition, my new phone will connect to wireless at work. Any help would be so welcomed!!

since you join with iphone 4s? you mean upgrade to iOS 6?

Z10 will not retain sved WIFI networks on reboot

I own 2 Z10's. Upon battery completely draining and rechraging OR simply rebooting the charged devices one will retain all saved wifi networks and will reconnect to any saved wifi network automatically. The other consistentantly turns off Wifi, erases all saved wifi networks. Upon reboot i notice that #teulsdirect keeps appearing as the only saved wifi network then it disappears after a minute or two. Both phones are updated to 10.2.1.2977
why is this happening? is there a fix?

Before #TelusDirect disappears tap and turn it OFF to see if it helps.
If your issue persists call Telus and ask them to reset your SIM settings.

IPad 2, iPhone4 will not connect to wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. I can't figure out why?

Hi, I cannot get my iPad 2, iPhone4 (nor husbands HTC One) to connect to my wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. On the other devices I just get an error message saying that Safari cannot connect to the internet. This has been going on for a few days so I've tried all the fixes I can find on the web (restarting modem/router, forgetting netork settings, etc), but nothing seems to work. I've done all the latest updates on my devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hello Csmo2013,
Since multiple devices from different manufacturers are having the same issue, I think it would be a good idea to test the mobile devices on a different network to see if they work. That way you can isolate the issue to being with the router/modem or not. I see you have already restarted the router/modem, and forgot the network settings on the devices, but allow me to offer this article for assistance.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
This section in particular:
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you are using a public or commercial network that requires a login or subscription, see this article for more information.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap >.
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, see this article.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Cheers,
Sterling

Macbook Pro 10.6+ will not connect to wifi network

Having a strange issue with one particular Macbook Pro not being able to connect to the internal wifi. There are 5 machines, mix of Windows and OS X, none have this issue. We have a wireless network coming from a SonicWall router with wireless capability. This particular Macbook will not connect to the wifi. Just an "!" symbol around the wifi. It has no issues connecting to any other wifi in the area, even to a second on within the same floor.
What are steps to troubleshoot? I am an advanced Windows user and would check ipconfigs, flushdns, among plethora of other things. I am not so sure about what to do in OS X (10.6 or 10.7, not sure).
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I can assure you it is not the router. I am pretty good with Windows and Networking, particularly these model routers. This is an issue on the laptop. I feel as if it keeps remembering old credentials to this wifi network (when user kept typing the wrong password). Once I changed the WiFi password, it no longer even asks me to update the WiFi password when attempting to connect. I have to manually try to connect to it by inputting SSID and password and still does not accept.

IPhone 4S IOS 6.1.3 does not join my wifi network at home

My iPads and Windows 7 systems do connect to our network. It does nothing when you choose the network under Settings->WiFi or I get the "Failed to join XXXX" message. . I'm using a ZTE ZXV100 modem/router with its latest firmware. I have reboot everything and reset network settings, too. Security is WPA2/TKPI.

Sorry indeed I was not very clear.
My problem was :
Had "unable to join network" for both iphone 4 & iPhone 3GS since their 1st upgrade to ios6
My router is indeed an Apple Time Capsule so what I did in detail was :
In Airport Utility go to the Wireless tab.
Change the radio mode to 802.11a/n-802.11b/g.
Change the radio Channel Selection to "manual".
Set the 5GHz to automatic and the 2.4GHz to 11.
I do not know precisely how you can reproduce that on your ZTE router but for me the trick was ON MY ROUTER CONIFG to force the 2.4Ghz channel to a "manual" fixed value instead of having Channel selection set to "automatic" .
All the other reset on the phone &/or the router in whatever order, all the restore & all iOS upgrades since iOS 6 had FAILED but THIS, worked in a snap for both phones after monthes of false hopes & struggle !!....
Can only hope you'll be as lucky with that than I was myself today.

My iphone 4 will not show any wifi networks

my phone will not show any wi-fi networks i'm not sure whats wrong, i tried restoring multiple times nothing changed.. im not sure what to do.

I have this Exact same issue, I bought it from a friend though, and it will not show any networks to choose while I am at home and my computer and other phones are connecting perfectly to my wifi. I have tried to reset the network settings, I just restored the whole phone when I transferred my info to it. If anyone knows of anything else please advise.

IPod Touch will not connect to WiFi network

Hi,
I am getting errors connecting to WiFi networks with my iPod Touch. This had affected a Touch I got a couple months ago. Initially, the WiFi worked perfectly on my WEP network and several others. Then, one day, I couldn't get any WiFi. After standard troubleshooting steps (forget network & re-enter, reset network settings, restart, restore iPod, etc.), it still wouldn't work. I returned the iPod and bought another. At first it also worked perfectly on any WiFi network I joined.
But now I'm affected by the same issue. This time, I went to the router settings and saw that the router (a Linksys) had assigned the iPod Touch an IP address. Yet, in the settings pane on th iPod Touch, the iPod had no IP address. I just ahead and reset all network settings, forget the network, reset the update and still nothing. And this was recently after updating to 1.1.2 firmware.
Given that this has now happened to iPod Touches, I'm concerned that it may be an issue that is affecting others. Any suggestions? The error I get in Safari is "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server."

same problem!it connects to the linksys(not always,but miracles happen),and it can't load any page. it's really anoyingi. actually remember that the first day i bought it could've connect to linksys,but then my dad just helped me to acces our network and i didn'try to use it. but when i was in neighbourhood and wanted to open safari, it found me a link sys,but couldn't load anything. like nothing,even thou the signal was pretty strong...and i tried to do something like this in different places and buildings,the only place where i could actually connect is home with my network,that's it!
i don't want to return my ipod,but it really drives me to it..=/
is there anything that i can do?
tnks.

Ipad2 will not connect to wifi network - bt homehu...

I already have connected a MACBook AIR and an MSIWIND network to my home network as well as a wireless printer. But have not managed to connect my new ipad 2 today. So back to the Appleshop I will go tomorrow ..will keep you posted...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you try to connect your iPad2 FOR THE FIRST TIME to your wireless network (Setting>WiFi) . . you are asked for the "PASSWORD" Now . . when you ordered your BT hub and set it up, you needed a PASSWORD sent to you over the phone by BT. So, naturally you assume that your iPad is waiting for this PASSWORD. Oooooooh noooooo it isn't! It wants you to enter the Wireless Key - found on the Hub Settings pull-out tab that came with your hub.

WET6`0N - Will Not Detect My WIFI Network (EA4500) in Survey After Firmware Upgrade

Own 3 units.Model: WET610N2 units in old firmware: ver 1.0.0.31 unit with latest firmware: ver 1.0.0.6 After upgraded 1 unit to the latest firmware, ver 1.0.0.6, it will only show One (1) 2.4 MHz network of a neighbor. The other 2 units is running without problem wiht ver 1.0.0.3 . Since the upgrade, I have tried, more then once, Reboot, Factory Default, Power Recycle, 30 second Power Recycle, WPS connection, etc. to no result.Chat with Linksys help desk but was told basically the following: "Warranty Period is over", "Previous version of Firmware is no longer available", ""I am sure I can get it to work but will cost a service charge". Anyone has any suggestion would be wonderful. Basically I am trying to revert it back to the old firmware, ver 1.0.0.3. Where can I get a copy? Another option will be backup/copy the firmware from the other unit that I have, but is they a way to make a copy?Any idea will be helpful.
