New modem, now my iPhone 4 can't join wifi network

Can anyone help? My Verizon modem died, and I received the new modem today from Verizon. I plugged it in, and was able to get my laptop to connect to wifi with no problem, but my iPhone 4 will not connect. I select the network, enter the password, and it says "Unable to join the network." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, and turned off the modem, unplugged it (power cord and phone line), plugged it back in and turned it back on, and still no luck. Any ideas?

Hello emilyah9!
Let's get that device connected to your Wifi signal! You have already done what I would have suggested first, which is reset the router. You've also already powered the device off and on. Please reset the network settings on your device to see if that gets this resolved. Here is the link: http://vz.to/100ziru
Lastly, please try turning off the Wifi on your iPhone 4, then turn it back on and try to connect.
Keep me posted, thanks!

All of the sudden can't join wifi networks

All of the sudden this morning I can't join any wifi networks, it always gives me the "Unable to Join the network "network name" error message.
I tried a soft reset, then did a complete Iphone restore with no luck.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Jeff

Hi again,
Mine's fixed. Here's what I did:
- In Mail go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced Behaviors
- At the bottom of those options, under "Trash" uncheck the box for "Move deleted messages to the trash mailbox" (I have multiple accounts and did this for each one, whether it was an active account or not.)
- Close Preferences and check mail. Delete a few items you couldn't delete before.
- Under the Trash mailbox icon on the left, I deleted the Trash mailbox called "On My Mac" because it was the one generating the error.
- Go back to preferences and re-check that box you just unchecked for "Move deleted messages"
Fixed. I'm sure all these steps weren't necessary, but wanted to share it just as I did it. Hope this helps.

I can't join WiFi network with passwrod less than 8 characters

I have a WiFi ONLY iPad but now I can't seem to connect with any WiFi networks which has passwords less than 8 characters...:(

the password has nothing to do with apple
you are suppose to be enter the password that was set-up for your wifi router
once you enter the correct password on your ipad to connect to wifi
it wont ask you to enter the password again

Iphone 5s stopped joining wifi networks

Suddenly, my iphone 5s (I've had it more than six months) stopped recognizing my home wifi network. Can't even get on as a guest. How do I fix this?

I have a 5 and have had similar issues on and off for the past 6 months. I have AT&T and have spotty reception at my office and connect to my company's Verizon Mi-fi WLAN to ensure that I receive texts while at work. However, sometimes when I leave the office and come back later in the day I can no longer connect to it, even though the device says it's connected under Settings. The same thing then happens for all other saved networks and I have to Reset Network Settings everytime this happens (almost each work day). This is HUGELY annoying. I have an appt at the Genius Bar on Saturday to see if they can diagnose it (I'm guessing it'll be a waste of time since I'll be able to connect to their wi-fi perfectly). It has someimthing to do with crappy AT&T reception and/or logging onto Verizon's mi-fi that I believe is the issue but if anyone experienced similar issues please let me know!!

Can't join wifi network

My iPhone5 does not make a connection to my MiFi network, the little dial just spins around — my wife's phone connects readily.

Hi Lawrence,
I am still not able to join the wifi network.
I receive an error saying that the username or password are wrong, although I have user the same credentials to join the same wifi network on my mac and it works perfectly.
Resetting the network settings did not help....

HT201699 CAN'T DETECT WIFI NETWORK

my iphone can't detect wifi network....

That must be frustrating.
Well, be sure to write back with any technical support issues you have.

IPhone can't join network (WPA-PSK)

I have a D-Link DI-524 router and it had always been set to WEP until I bought my Macbook Pro recently. Everything worked fine with WEP - my iphone, playstation 3, old laptop. But my macbook couldn't work with WEP, so I changed my router security setting to "WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2"(shown as an option on the router setup page). Now my macbook and playstation 3 both work with the new setting, but not the iphone....it can detect the network but when I type in the correct password it says can't join the network. I've tried resetting the iphone network, rebooting it, still not working.
I never got to the bottom of why my macbook can't work with WEP, but as long as it works with WPA that's fine so that I can at least use the web. I'm alright with having to use 3G on my iphone too, but it'll be very inconvenient if I have to download certain apps that require a wifi connection.

Try the steps in the article below:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Another easy way to isolate the cause of the issue is by trying to connect those devices to another wifi network.

One laptop died. I have a new laptop now. How can I get my Ipod song list on the new laptop without downloading each c.d.?

My iphone can use only one network

Hi, my iphone can use only Orange network. I live in mauritius and i just bought my iphone from Mauritius telecome Orange. Now when i insert another network on it, it says please insert simcard. I cant use other network on this. Is it possible to unlock it, and how?
Some people told me to jailbreak it :O i dont wana do this!
Please help me out.. i really love using iphone

If Orange won't unlock your iPhone, and I'm sorry to say that according to Apple's information they do not offer unlocking (though call them to confirm) your only recourse would be to sell the iPhone and purchase a new one in the country to which you move, should you do so.
Regards.

I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, join greys out. It has a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.

I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, "join" turns grey. There's a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it. Can you help me??

The way you "unlock" it is by typing in the correct password. The lock indicates a private network that requires a password. Are you sure you have the correct password? Is this your own home network?
Why don't you reboot your iPad and try to log in again. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will shut off. Turn back on by pressing the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if the iPad will accept your password.
If that doesn't work, you could try tapping the blue arrow next to the network name and then tap Forget This Network. Restart your iPad as described above. Then go back to settings, tap WiFi, select the network and enter the password again and see if it works.

Hi there! We just got an ipod touch 8G. We have wireless internet, but can't join the network with the ipod touch! Very frustrating and we have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions on the support site. Help! The router is a linksys WRT120N.

Hi everyone! WE just got an ipod touch 8G. We do have wireless internet, but can't join the network with the ipod touch. Message comes up.."unable to join the network".....very frustrating! We have tried all trouble-shooting suggestions on the site, but nothing is working. Anyone out there got any ideas for us?? The router is a Linksys WRT120N.
Thanks for any help any one can give!!!

Does the iPod connect to other neworks?
Do other devices connect to the network?
What encryption are you using?
How you tried changing the type of encruption? Changing to no encryption?

Could not join "wifi network name". A connection timeout occurred.

Mac Pro running 10.7.5.
Whenever the computes wakes from sleep or logs in, it no longer automatically connects to my wifi network. When I manually select the network for from the Wi-Fi status in the menu bar, I get the following message: Could not join "wifi network name". A connection timeout occurred.
Even though I get that message the machine joins the network with no other problems. I am led to believe that is is on the Mac Pro as my Macbook and iPad/iPhone join the network with no issues.
I have tried deleting and restoring the preferred network, and remember networks is checked. I have also restored my airport express base station.
Any suggestions?

I can't backup to iCloud over my wifi network but I can over other wifi networks

Several days ago, I noticed that I am no longer able to backup my iPhone 5 over my wifi network. It tries to backup for a while and then says "The last backup was unable to be completed." I figured it was a bug with iOS 6 so didn't really worry about it. Then I was at my girlfriend's house and was able to backup my phone to iCloud over her wifi network. Does anyone know why I can backup on hers but not mine? Also strange that I was able to backup on my network at first and then suddenly stopped being able to. Thanks for your help!

I am having the same issue, mine stoipped working on October 4th. I am running mountain lion and I phone 5. I do not know what the issue is at all. Have a brand new macbook pro retina 15. Not sure what the issue is but I hope someone can help us both.

Turning Off Join WiFi Network

Is there anyway to turn off the join wifi network alerts, that come everytime I want to go on the internet, or I start up my iPhone and to Safari? I never can join any of them, anyway. It's annoying to always get this window, and it's intrusive when you are trying to do something else. Thanks for any help.

Hi bpahi,
Welcome to the Palm forums! The Palm Pre should connect to an Airport access point; however, there are some things you need to check.
First, what version of the Airport do you have? Is it the Apple Airport Extreme? If so, check the settings on the Airport. This access point supports 802.11n which is a mode that the Pre is not compatible with. You need to enable 802.11g for your Pre to connect to it.
Also, I think you mean 802.11x (802.1x is a security system that is commonly used in Enterprise wireless networks and very rarely used in home configurations). The most common versions of home Wi-Fi networks are 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. Of those, only 802.11b and 802.11g are supported by the Pre.

TS1398 just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

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
