My iPhone is not connecting to my Airport Extreme

My iPhone and my families iPhones can no longer connect to the wifi. It was working fine. My iPad, Apple TV and Laptops all work fine.

Hi - This worked for me - go to settings - choose Wi-Fi - press the arrow next to the network that you want to connect - choose "Forget This Network" - choose "Forget" - then press Settings and turn off the iPhone - turn it back on and wait it for it to reboot - then go to settings - choose Wi-Fi - press the Name of the network - enter the password and press "Join" - you should now be connected - let me know how you make out.

My iphone will not connect to the airport network since I added a security password. The ipad connected immediately. Is there a setting on the phone that I need to change?

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

What is your Wireless Security setting on the network? Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings. I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

IPhone not connecting to my Airport Extreme (password invalid)

I've been trying to get my iPhone to connect to my Airport Extreme since I got the phone, it finds my network but fails to connect when I enter the password.
I have tried changing the network password several times but nothing seems to help, The airport security is set to 40-bit wep with a password 5 digits long using only numbers.
I have been able to connect to several public Wi-Fi with or without passwords so that makes me think my problem is either the type of security I'm using or some sort of limitation regarding the length of the password.
Thanks in advance.

there was a post earlier where someone had talked to apple about it and they were told engineering is working on it. it isn't just your router, it is happening on all of them, linksys, etc. some have found workarounds, others have to wait for engineering.

My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please refer to the information already posted above:
If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.

IPhone no longer connects to my AirPort Extreme wifi

So I looked around...
I waited for ios6 for a potential fix on this...
I still can't connect to my home Wifi from my iphone4
Set up:
AIrport extreme as main router
Extended with an airport express
What have I tried...
Well starting with the easiest
Restored the phone from factory
Reset network
Forget network, start again
Airplane mode
Extreme settings
Turned off security, still nothing
Changed the channels from automatic to manual
Turned on 5ghz
From wap 2 personnel to other
Turned off the express
Tried various combinations of network type, n, g etc...
I am out of ideas....
It the house we have a Mac Pro, a pc, 2 iPads, and an iPhone 4S. All are good
Just that iPhone 4. Started 3 weeks ago
ARGH!!!!!!!!!

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

Help! iMac would not Connect/Find with Airport Extreme

Strange issue. I used to connect my Airport extreme with iMac, until recently iMac could not join with aiport. Instead my iMac connected to my neighbor's network. I'm using Time Warner cable.
However, my MBP and my Dell laptop could connect to my airport. Any ideas what could interfere with my iMac? I already called the Tech support and even went to the Apple store, they all said is the iMac since the iMac was able to connect with all the airports at the store. The tech support suggested me to move my airport to a room with less interference. Is that right? the iMac or the airport should I move?
We spent 2 hours, resetting back to factory setting and still iMac could not join Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions or advices are appreciated.

Thank you for your e-mail, Duane. Yes, the airport express (hooked up to my stereo in the dining room) does receive iTunes from my G5 in the office. The light is a blinking yellow, but it still receives the signal.
Last night, I was able to get an internet signal on my eMac (with airport extreme card installed) from the VersaLink router that my G5 uses in the office!
I figured out that the eMac and G5 were obviously not communicating with each other, and went to the Airport icon on the top of both screens to make sure that the Location Names were correct. I discovered that I needed to change the G5 from the Airport Express Location (stereo)to the name of the eMac location (Master Bedroom). Then I got the network connection. I suppose to play iTunes to my stereo, I will have to change the location, again, right?
Another comment: I was rather amazed that, after at least an hour and a half phone conversation with three different technicians, no one came close to this solution. And I'm paying for technical help (two years left on a three year contract)! Evidently, it is not common knowledge that a wireless router and an airport extreme card with mini-antenna can communicate? I came close to buying an Airport Extreme Base Station because I thought that I might need it!!!
So, I'm thinking I'm in the right ballpark but would welcome any more comments.
Thanks for listening.

Horrible Iphone wi-fi connection to my airport extreme and express... ugh!

Hello everyone..
SO. Over the weekend I upgraded my home network to an Airport Extreme (which is in my den) and added an Airport Express in my living room, which is about 20 feet away, line of site, no obstructions.
I used the utility to configure the network, didn't do anything creative, just setup a WPA password, added the airport express and extended the network. Everything works beautifully! My MacBook Pro shows full signal strength through my entire condo.
The only hang-up is with my iphone 3g!!! I can connect to my network and iTunes but I have to be within three feet of my Airport Extreme, if I walk 10 feet away i loose signal completely. Even in the living room, standing next to my airport express it doesn't pick up the signal and my MBP does.
The only reason why I went and bought all this new wireless equipment was so I could use the free remote app on my iphone to control and play iTunes through the airport express.
ANY suggestions? Voodoo or spells I can cast? This is really frustrating me... I'm close to returned everything and going back to my Linksys router (which my iphone connected to with no problems)
Justin

thanks... I have reset everything in my condo that can be reset, including the microwave.
It's a little more bizarre, if I unplug either the airport extreme, or the express it will work fine and I can connect and stay connected with my Iphone. I only have issues once I create an extended WDS using the airport express

Toshiba pc will not connect to new airport extreme

Can not get toshiba pc windows 7 to connect to airport extreme, iPad and MacBook pro will connect
Any rhoughts

I have a solution that has worked for me. As I could numerous post on this subject but little in a solution I spoke with Apple Tech Support.
On your Apple machine open the Airport Utility found in Applications/Utilities.
Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on Base Station.
Toggle down to Manual Set Up.
When open select Airport and click on Wireless.
Go to Channel, which in my case had defaulted to Automatic and instead change it to say 1.
Click on Update.
Fingers crossed, go back to your PC and select the little Network icon at the bottom of the screen and your Apple network should now be showing and click Connect. You should now have internet access on your PC.
I'll duplicate this as a new post for those not following this thread.

My laptops will not connect to my airport extreme

My airport extreme keeps dropping my iPhone and laptops. Help

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. Is your AEBS the only wireless router used in your current network configuration? Is it an 802.11n (squarish) or 802.11g (dome-shaped) model? Do you live in an area with a high concentration of other Wi-Fi operating nearby ... like in a dorm or apartment complex? Do any of the devices that are experiencing these drop-offs have this problem with other Wi-Fi networks? Do you have a portable phone that operates on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band?

My ipad will not connect to my airport extreme

the error reads " The Airport extreme named "apple network 249c87" cannot be set up by this software. go to apple.com/support/airpot"

Please look on the bottom of your AirPort Extreme for the model number and post back with that information.

Why is my iPhone 4s not connecting to my apple airport?

My iPhone 4s is not connecting to my AirPort Extreme. It keeps saying "An unexpected error has occurred. Try again." I have tried resetting the airport and no help at all. My macbook can connect with no issues, so I am confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

My Iphone will not connect anymore to my AirPort Extreme

My AirPort Extreme seems to working fine on our laptops and was working on our mobile devices, but for some reason NOW our mobile devices does not pick up our AirPort Extreme?

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!
