My iPhone 4s will not recognize my Airport Extreme network

I just purchased the AirPort Extreme. I have come home and set it up. My iPads connect quickly and easily... but my iPhone 3 and 4s do not even see the network? They did and then it went away? Why?

t connects to wifi and 3g no problem.
If it connects to 3G, it's connected to the phone network. 3G carries both voice and data. Your phone can't show BOTH 3G and No Service at the same time.

Iphone 3g will not connect to airport extreme

I bought airport extreme today and hoping to use it with my iphone 3g. iphone reverts to 3g and will not stay "connected" to wifi. any ideas?

But it is not set up as a DHCP server. It is in bridge mode.
Ah, well, that could be it. Many (not all) ASDL providers only provide a single
IP address.
I was thinking yours offered more than one when you said:
The airport works fine with the MacBook and I have a ext. hard drive and a printer working.
I leaped to the conclusion that the hard drive and printer were connected via cat 5, (which would require that they get an IP as well), but now I see that was probably a wrong assumption.
So with bridge mode, if your ISP only offers one IP, or they only allow "registered mac addresses" you can only get the laptop running. DHCP (and NAT network address translation) will get around the single IP problem.
Registered Mac Addresses means they asked you the mac address of your laptop and that is the only one they will honor. If you don't remember that happening, chances are its not an issue, but if it is, most routers have a "clone Mac Address" option.

HT2497 iPhone 5 will not connect to airport extreme

Brand new iPhone 5 from Verizon, error message " "network cannot be set up by this software. Go to apple.com/support/airport

Are you trying to set up the AirPort Extreme from scratch....or....is is already set up and you are trying to connect the iPhone to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme is producing?
What model of the AirPort Extreme do you have?
If you are not sure, look on the bottom of the device. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in Axxxx.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2

Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2
Posted: Jul 5, 2007 8:22 PM Reply
I just got my Imac to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme but only by using WEP. I had my Windows XP SP2 machines connecting using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. The Imac will not connect using anything other than WEP, and 1 of the XP machines will not connect using WEP.(I have not tried the other XP machines) I had to set the Airport Extreme for an open network in order to let both computers access the shared hard drive and access the internet.
I don't know what the problem might be and would appreciate any suggestions.
MacBookPro, Imac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Fujitsu tablet PC, 2 XP desktops

hehe...on the visuals. I figured it out already, and I have the old airport card. However, I did a chat with Apple support and while we were chatting I found a USB adapter with MAC drivers which will work. It is:
Hawking Technology HWUG1A Wireless-G USB Adapter with Removable Antenna for Macintosh
Manufacturer Part# HWUG1A
That is the only adapter that actually does WPA/WPA2 that I can find that is for a Mac and not just an older USB that only does WEP. It surprises me that Apple does not have a USB product like this. Anyway, for $56 including shipping, I will have it by Monday or Tuesday. Pretty cool.
Thank you so much for your assistance. It is appreciated.

My IPhone 4S does not recognize any wi-fi network. I have turned it off and on a dozen times and tried 6 places which have wi-fi.
I am trying to update to 7.0.2 and cannot because I cannot access a wi-fi.

Give this a whirl and see if this helps.
Forget the network on the device and turn wifi off.
Turn bluetooth off. (Not sure why, but seemed to help with others)
Turn on airplane mode and then off again.
Reconnect to you network and open up a browser to confirm connection.

Iphone will not connect to airport extreme in N only mode?

My iphone was unable to see my airport extreme for local wi-fi. I chnahged my setting from "N compatible only" to "N with g,b compatible and it suddenly showed up. Is this a limitation of the iphone that it will not see 802.11N (only) routers? I could not find any documentation or internet tips on this topic. Thanks!

I have done that several times.
After entering the network ID, selecting WPA and password, the iPhone displays the msg: Unable to connect to network, but my network name (with the padlock) will show up in the list of available connections (after clicking "OK" on the dialog box) although my network is set to not broadcast.
FWIW: I can connect to other unprotected networks.

Powerbook will not startup with airport extreme card installed

I have a 2 year old powerbook using 10.3.9 an djust of late when my airport card is in, The computer just sends me to the open Firmware right after i turn it on.when i type mac-boot it comes up with a broken folder icon. however when i take my card out i dont have a problem. is there a wa i can ues my computer and the airport at the same time? what do you think i should do.

it is a 867 mhz g4 with 256 mb ddr ram. 40 gb hd and
a combo drive. i hope that is helpfull.
This PowerBook requires the original Airport card, you can not use the Airport Extreme card in that PowerBook, any attempt to do so could result in damage to both the card and the PowerBook.
Either change the AE card for an original Airport or use a third party 802.11g card in the cardbus slot.

When I reopen my computer (macbook pro) it connects to my dsl connection and not to my airport extreme network that I created

I purchased yesterday an airport extreme, everything works fine, but the thing is that when I close my laptop (just shutting down the screen) and then reopen it, instead of conecting to the airport extreme network I created, it connects to my DSL connection. Is this normal? Do I have to keep entering my own airport extreme network after I close/shut down my computer? Thank you very much

Hi Bob, I solved it, it had to do with the preferred networks. But thanks anyways!

Iphone will not recognize an Airport Express extending a wireless network

Hi. I asked elsewhere in the support community and someone suggested I also ask here. I have two Airport Expresses, one in my living room that is creating a wireless network, and another in the back of my house, extending a wireless network so it will reach in to the back yard. The one in the living room is the new 2012 model, and the one in back is the pre-2012 model. They both have the latest firmware, and I configured them both using the Airport Utility, and can confirm they are working as configured, to create and extend a wireless network.
My mid-2010 Macbook with Lion shifts between devices effortlessly, switching to the stronger signal when I move between the house and the back yard. I can verify this by selecting Option+Click on the wireless widget in the menu bar and checking the BSSID against the Airport Utility. But the signal from the living room unit still reaches in to the back yard, and as far as I can tell, and the iPhone 4S cannot recognize the existence of the extending unit (outside of the Airport Utility). I know the former is a well-known problem, the iPhone is unique in that it will annoyingly hold on to the existing connection for dear life, even when a stronger one is available. I thought I could work around that by power cycling or disabling/reenabling Wi-Fi when out of range of the living room unit to get around that problem but even that doesn't work.
When I go some place out of range of the living room unit but still within line of sight of the back yard unit, say the neighboring field, the laptop can connect to the back yard unit with about -75 RSSI, but the iPhone does not even see the wireless network. Even after a power cycle at that location. If I approach my back yard from the field while constantly scanning Wi-Fi (switching between the front pane in the Settings app and the Wi-Fi pane), the iPhone does not see my network until it sees the living room unit, at which point it tries to connect, and the Airport Utility shows the iPhone is connected to the living room unit, not the back yard unit. This is in contrast to the Macbook which both sees the extending Airport and happily connects to it when it has better signal than the living room unit.
Any idea why the iPhone cannot see the extending Airport Express but the Macbook can?

Anyone? Has anyone had experience with this problem? I've reset the extending Airport and reapplied the settings and still have the same problem.
