My Iphone 5 will not automatically connect to my wireless network

Each time I want to connect my home wireless, I need to go into settings and manually connect,  rather than automatic connection, which is what happened with my i4s.  How can I change this?

I downloaded and installed the latest software for the iPhone 5 (Version 6.1.3) - the version originally installed was 6.1.2.  Same problem exists - iPhone will not automatically connect to my home WiFi.  Even after I select my network and it connects.  If I turn WiFi off and then back on again, it will not automatically connect.  The iPhone screen states "Known networks will be joined automatically.  If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network."  How do I get the iPhone to work as specified above?  Thanks.

  • TS1398 After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet via the 3G network unless I turn it off and then on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this issue?

    After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet using a mobile 3G network unless I turn my phone off and then back on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this?

    Then I'm at a loss. Mine has switched automatically from the start, favoring Wi-Fi, any of its registered networks, whenever available. Only thing I can think of is trying a Force Restart and see if that clears things up: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and allow it to restart.
    May be similar, when I got the i5 about 16 months ago, the local carrier was starting to roll out 4G service. The phone would regularly lose all carrier connection, voice and data. Haphazardly would reconnect when it felt like it afterwards. Initially did the Off/On dance to speed things up, but discovered that using Airplane Mode would do the same without the lengthier power cycle. After awhile, the carrier 'fessed they were having capacity issues and later the problem went away. So yours too may also be a carrier issue.

  • MacBook Air will not automatically connect to my home network

    Hi.
    My new MBA has an issue. Every single time I open it, it says none of my preferred networks is available. I connect to my home network every day, but it refuses to automatically connect. All other computers at home do (MacMini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac). I select my home network in the WiFi dropdown and it connects just fine. If I close the lid and immediately open it back up, it has already lost the home network connection.
    The home network is first in order in preferred networks. Any ideas why this is happening? It's getting to be a pain...
    Thanks.

    Numerous threads on this issue in the MacBook Air as well as MacBook Pro forums. Unfortunately I've been unable to pinpoint exactly what's the issue, if it is machine specific or OS specific or a particular build of the OS. Mostly because I've been able to replicate the issue across 10.7.1 as well as 10.7.2 on a half dozen different models of machines.

  • PowerBooks will not automatically connect to Airport Express

    Recently purchased iPhone and changed my Airport Express password to something easier to spell on iPhone keyboard. Since then, two PowerBooks I own (early G4 and later G4) will not automatically connect to Airport Express Network. I have to manually go to Airport icon in menu bar and join network. Any advice on this small annoyance is greatly appreciated.

    Went to the Sys Pref and edited the profile of the AE. Now loads fine.

  • Airport Extreme Card (will not automatically connect to home network)

    Running OSX (10.4.7) on a G5 2.0 DualCore. I just had an Airport Extreme Card installed by Apple a week ago. Everything was working fine with WiFi ( I use a Lynksys Router. But oddly now when I cold boot up, the Airport Extreme will not automatically connect to my home network. The little Airport icon on the upper right is always greyed out ( even though clicking on the icon... says that Airport is "On" ). So I now have to manually select my home network everytime I boot up. The first week or so though, I didn't have to do this...it just automtically connected to my home network. I made no changes to the router settings, nor the Network prefs.

    I have been able to get my home network running with simultaneous access to the internet with the MacMini and the PB G4 via a WL router (Netgear WGR614v4 with four ethernet ports).
    This was the process:
    1a) Turned off airport on both computers.
    1b) Turned off both compters and
    1c) disconnected the router from the cable modem.
    a) Disconnected ethernet cable from WL router to Macmini.
    2b) Powered down the router for 10 seconds.
    3a) Keeping both computers unpowered,repowered router and pressed the reset button (behind an unmarked tiny hole in the back of the router) then re-connected it to cable modem. Waited 30 - 40 seconds until internet service lights flickered green.
    3b) Reconnected ethernet cable to MacMini and turned on power for MacMini. No Airport running. With administrator privilege I configured in Syst. Prefs. "Sharing" folder Internet access using "Built in Ethernet" port for computers running "Airport".
    4) Turned Airport network on in MacMini and started browser.
    Result: Internet connection established.
    5a) Powered up PB G4 and then turned Airport on.
    5b) In Syst. Prefs. in "Sharing" folder turned Internet Sharing off. But set "Share your connection from Airport" to computers using: Airport with check-mark. (No Built-in Ethernet and no Built-in FireWire!)
    5c)Started browser. Result: Internet connection established.
    6a) In the Finder window of both computers I clicked on "Go" in toolbar and looked for the name of the other computer, which were listed as alias besides the "Library" and "Servers" aliases. Clicking on the computer alias brought up the 'Networked Globe' and a control button "Connect".
    6b) Clicking on "Connect" brought up the mounted drive of the other computer.
    Result: Wireless network operational.
    PS: I don't dare yet using encryption for the airport network. That's for another day.

  • My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

    My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4).  Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios).  Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
    * I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
    * I have reset the network connections
    * I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
    * I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
    * I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
    * I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
    My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option.  So, what else is there to fix the issue?

    Hi there Huskerscott!
    I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
    Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
    Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
    If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
    If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings 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.
    Which is taken from this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

  • PC will not automatically connect to wireless network on startup...

    Hi all - I have a WRTG54 wirless router with the latest firmware.  Windows XP Home SP2.  I have a mixed network with two wired PCs and one wireless.  The wireless PC will not automatically connect to the network. To connect to the network i have to go to the wireless network properties box and check "let windows automatically configure network"  Once I do this the wirelss PC connects with no problem.  Unfortunatley, whenever i turn the PC off and turn it back on the "let windows automatically configure network" is unchecked and i have to go through the process of checking it again.  I uninstalled the wireless adapter and reinstalled the drivers only and then ran the windows wireless setup wizard but the problem persists.  Any help on this would be much appreciated.!!!! Thanks!!

    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Do not let "Windows automatically configure your network".  Instead do the following:
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.  It should connect automatically.  If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps. 
    Some users have reported improved wireless connections by switching to WPA  ( = WPA with TKIP)  encryption.

  • TS1398 iPad will not automatically connect to home WiFi, I have to do it manually each time.

    My iPad will not automatically connect to my home wifi and I have to manually connect each time. Is there something I can do to correct this?

    Update the firmware in your WiFi router. Look for an update on the manufacturer's support Web page.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router.

  • Will not automatically connect to wifi

    Will not automatically connect to wifi

    Changing your routers security to WEP seems to fix this issue.
    WEP is a less secure protocal then WPA or WPA2.
    You will have to weigh the security concerns vs the convience for your individual situation(s).

  • TS4209 Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

    Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

    If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
    If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2.

  • I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

  • TS3253 My Iphone 4S version 6.1.1 will not automatically connect to my bluetooth in my car.  It is paired and registered with the car bluetooth, but I have to select the device each time the car is started.

    My IPhone 4S with version 6.1.1 will not stay connected to the bluetooth in my 2012 Subaru Outback.  The phone is paired and registered with the bluetooth in the car, but each time the ignition is turned off the phone loses connection with the bluetooth and I have to select the device again.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
