Problem Connecting iPad or iPhone to Wifi (Linksys E1000)

I recently moved from my parent's house to a condo and I am having trouble connecting my iPad or iPhone to my WiFi. I have not problem with my main desktop (connected to the router via ethernet), but my iPad and iPhone fails to connect to the network. I don't have a problem finding the network (FunnyWillow) but when I try to log in, it says "Failed to join "FunnyWillow" - "Unable to join the network "FunnyWillow" ". How do I resolve this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alright, my current firmware version is (v1.0.01 build 7Apr 15, 2010). I tried to update it by downloading version 2.1, but when IZArc opened, there was nothing in the .bin to extract. I checked my status afterwards on (http://192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp) and it still says I am using the v.1.0.01... version.
I reset the router, and network and tried to update the firmware and the samething happened with the update. I tried to connect my iPhone/pad and the same error message appeared. I have a good feeling that getting that firmware update would solve it, I guess U don't know how to go about it.

ITunes crashes when connecting iPad or iPhone

iTunes crashes when i connect iPad or iPhone. Running OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date iTunes version?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

How do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?, how do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?

ive just moved out and have just been connected to talk talk broadband today. Both my ipad mini and iphone are saying they are connected to wifi but only my iphone will connect to online services where my ipad mini won't. But if i disconnect my iphone from wifi then my ipad will work online and then when trying to connect my iphone back to wifi that won't work with online services. is this because they are both using the same apple account? though when i was living at home my mum had sky router and i was able to connect both devices with no problem. is there anyway of connecting both devices so they work online at the same time??

There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.

Having problems connecting iPad 2 to iPhone hotspot.

As the title suggests, my iPad will not connect to my iPhone hotspot. I keep receiving an "Unable to connect" error. The link symbol is showing up when I search for available networks, but no connection happens. I have tried to forget the network and re-add it, same error. I don't know enough to go fiddling further with settings. I have read about changing the settings when using a modem router but unsure if the fixes there are relevant when using iPhone as a hotspot. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The hotspot works through Bluetooth. Switch the personal hotspot on in your iphone first You will then need to enable Bluetooth on your iPad and disconnect your wifi. You should then see your iPhone in the Bluetooth connections on the ipad and can pair with it from there.
Took me ages to work this out for myself. I only have a wifi iPad too.
Good luck again!

IPad and iPhone Intermittent WiFi with Cisco

I have around 35 iPhones and iPads that are at best intermittent with our internal wireless network. I have been working with Cisco for two days and they are unable to resolve the issue. The WiFi works perfectly with our notebooks so it is definetly narrowed down to the Apple hardware needing a special configuration other than the ones we have tried.
I am currently using a Cisco WLC2106 controller with 1142N access points. The dhcp is working. I can forget the network or turn off the WiFi and back on and get an assigned address. At first it took several minutes to populate but Cisco helped me resolve that first problem. The iPhones and iPads will get the private IP but will not allow it to go out on the Internet. I get a good association (WiFi indicator in top-left is full strength.) At times one iPad will connect and another will stop working. For example: yesterday I had my iPad, laptop, and iPhone while I was working with Cisco. All three were connected to the WiFi network with seperate IP's. The laptop never stopped working. My iPhone worked for a few minutes and then I left the office with my phone for about 20 miinutes. When I returned the iPad worked but my iPhone did not, even after making sure the iPhone reconnected and gave it more than 10 minutes and a reboot. I have configured 1 iPad1, 2 iPad2's, and four iPhone 4's. They are all intermittent and I have yet to figure out any formula for why one might work while the others stop. I have done resets on them, statically assigned ip's, and changed DNS settings. Again, the laptop never missed a beat while the iPads just come and go. The way I have been testing is through using a website in Safari on the iPad or iPhone to check the external IP to make sure it is our ISP and not using ATT 3G. I also check the App Store which also fails on WiFi. The WiFi works fine at home with my linksys router. I have tried changing the WiFi encryption from WPA2 to WEP and even disabled the security for testing. Even with no encryption the same result prevails. Maybe one out of five tries to connect works and it alternates between devices. If I didn't know any better I would think it was an IP conflict or a maximum connection limit somewhere.
Here is the general config:
Cisco based wireless using no encryption. I will eventaully need to go WPA2 but for troubleshooting I have tried it as open. I am not broadcasting SSID. I CAN connect to WiFi network and receive IP, Gateway, DNS, and Domain Name consistently. I CANNOT access the Internet consistently. This is a business network with Cisco Catalyst Switches, Routers, and Firewalls. Again, the laptops that connect using WiFi are working as intended,
Does Apple have publicly accessible engineers for these situations? I have left the case open with Cisco in order to provide as much information as possible to Apple.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Internally I am not blocking any traffic. I have over 100 other Windows devices, cameras and printers on this single subnet. I'm not using any other Apple hardware at this time so I'm not sure what the Bonjour will do for me that TCP/IP can't do. I am also not using Bonjour at either of the homes I have done other testing on.
One more tidbit. One of our goals is to use FaceTime between the iPads. I have successfully connected a few times between the devices but it's almost every time I connect two iPads to FaceTime they will not connect again. Without changing anything else on the WiFi or the Firewall I can come back the next day, reset the iPads, obtain Internet access and the FaceTime will work. Thanks gyrhead!

Ipad and Iphone no wifi?

Got my wife an ipad2 for christmas. Hooked eveverything up. It worked for about an hour, now neither the ipad or our iphones work on the house wifi. Computer still works fine, just not apple products

Benjamin-
First check to be sure the iPad and iPhones are connected to the correct WiFi instead of a neighbor's WiFi that happens to have the same name. There are a LOT of WiFi base stations named Linksys!
Try unplugging your WiFi for a few seconds. If that doesn't help, reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. If that solves the problem, reset each of the iPhone's network.

Menu overlay on JW player - problem on iPad and iPhone

Hello,
I have a Wordpress site, which has a drop down menu function, that folds out on top of a JW player plugin. I started out encoding FLV video files, but recently changed to MP4, because I want the content to be accessible from iPad and iPhone. Problem is now, that the menu folds out correctly and is visible, but the menu buttons that are located on top of the video stream in MP4 cannot be activated! If I use a FLV video file, then everything works fine. In the future all videofiles will be MP4, so I have a problem with users not being able to navigate...
Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank,
Christian.

Football Widow-
Try resetting the iPad's and iPhone's network. I think the iPhone works the same as the iPad. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect each to WiFi.
The IP address of each device, including your Husband's iPad, should be the same except for the last group of digits. For example, my WiFi router's IP address is 10.0.1.1. My computer's IP address is 10.0.1.3. My iPad's IP address is 10.0.1.10. If any of your devices do not follow this pattern, they may be self-assigning their IP address, and not actually be connected to your WiFi system.

Problems Connecting iPod Touch 32GB to WiFi

Hi,
I have just purchased an iPod Touch 32GB and am having problems connecting to a server. I am using a Netgear DG834 router to connect to Orange. Netgear is now showing as checked on the Wi-Fi Networks page on the iPod with strong signal strength but I keep cannoy getting the message "could not connect to server" whenever I try any of the applications. Needless to say, the internet connections on my laptop and desktop are working perfectly. Thanks. Grant

Have you tried resetting your router? sometimes this is all you need to do to get the IPT to work properly. If you are using any type of security such as WEP or WPA2 then you are going to need to enter your password. Try a reset and then go to your wifi settings in the IPT and select your router and then click on the little blue arrow and check under DHCP and make sure you have an IP along with a router Ip and DNS entries. If you don't have a router IP or DNS entries try and renew the lease.
If you can't get it to work then reset the router again but this time try it without any security and do the same procedure as above. If that still doesn't work then the only other thing I can suggest is to look on Netgears website and see if there is a firmware upgrade for your router and to give that a try.

Connecting a second iPhone to wifi network

I currently have two iPhones in the house. One 16gb for myself and another 8gb for my wife. When I was setting my wifi connection it took a number of attempts and I finally got it to work, which it is doing very nicely.
Now when I come to try and connect the second iPhone to the wifi network, it won't accept it. I am using exactly the same details as the first iPhone uses to connect successfully.
Please can you tell me if there is anything I need to check or configure - my wife is all for throwing the phone in the bin.
:o(

weestoater,
Try forgetting the Wi-Fi network on the iPhone that will not join the network. Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>) to the right of the network name, then Forget This Network. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If the iPhone still cannot join the Wi-Fi network, we may need to look at the router settings. Make sure the router is set to distribute enough IP addresses. Also Make sure the iPhone MAC address is added to the filter list, if MAC address filtering is enabled(as SisterBlue said). The iPhone MAC address is listed under Settings> General> About, the Wi-Fi address.

Can i use the internet on the iPhone in this case (PC(connected Ethernet) ----Bluetooth --- iPhone(no wifi, no network, bluetooth only))

iPhone (no 3g, no wifi, enable bluetooth)
PC (connected ethernet, enable bluetooth )
PC (connected Ethernet) <----- Bluetooth <------ iPhone : is possible ?

Because you cannot. The iPhone will not allow you to connect to an internet source via Bluetooth. It does not support that profile. If your PC will support Bluetooth, will it support creating its own wi-fi network? Can you transmit/receive wi-fi from the PC? If you can do that, you can connect to that wi-fi network with your phone.
Sorry, just read you did not have wi-fi on the phone. Why not?
