Re: Iphone 6 won't connect to wifi .. Says incorrect password which is not true. Ideas???

FIXED!!!! I have been struggling with this for MONTHS!!! Nothing has worked.. Reset Network Settings - NO, Reboot Router - NO, Update to latest IOS - NO, Reboot iPhone - NO, Forget This Network - NO, Stand on one foot - NO. Here is the fix you have been waiting for: Log into your wifi router and disable WMM Power Save. I have been able to recreate the problem again and again. Turn WMM Power Save on and same old iPhone wifi problems. Disable it and viola'. it's been a long road but it's good to finally be at the end of it.

This also seems to have fixed my issue - at least temporarily.
More info
ASUS RT-AC66R running with both 5 and 2.4 antennas on - WEP2 password with lots of characters.
My phones (5s and 6) both worked fine until 8.1.1 update, then failed completely to connect to most networks for a couple of weeks.  After 8.3 update, they would connect to most networks, but still had issues with my home network, even after a reboot and wiping all network settings.
disabling WMM (which rebooted router, as well) on 5ghz fixed the issue for BOTH 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands (which doesn't make any sense)
on the ASUS, located in wireless > professional > Enable WMM APSD
Good luck

  • My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi, it won't even let me turn it on and when it does it just sits there and loads

    My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi. It won't light up for me to slid on. And the few times it does light up, it just sits there and loads and loads.

    Hi there Ashton1334!
    I have a couple of articles here for you that may address your issue. It seems like from your description that this article is going to be the most relevant, and it deals with Wi-Fi settings being greyed out or dim:

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi unless very close to router!

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my home wifi. My other family members have access to the wifi, it's just my iPhone that won't connect. It only connects when I am very close to my router. My iOS is 7.0.6 . The weird part is that I can connect to other wifi's, just not my own. I have tried everything, Turning wifi off and back on, Shutting down my iPhone, Hard rebotting my iPhone, Reset network settings, Reset ALL settings, sycning my iPhone, Unplugging my router, Updating my router, Changing security of wifi. Please help i've been dealing with this for weeks, and its very fustrarating.

    have you tried updating the drivers on your modem?

  • Brand New iPhone 6 won't connect to wifi.

    So i just got my iphone 6 today and i just got home and it won't connect to my wifi..I have tried turning off wifi networking and rebooting, and I've checked my password multiple times and it keeps saying "Incorrect password for (Wifi Name)"

    Reboot your router by removing all power from it for 15-30 seconds. If it still says "incorrect password" then the password is incorrect.

  • My iphone 5s won't connect to wifi, i've reset the network setting multiple times and it's still now working.

    When I got back from vacation my iPhone stopped to connecting to my home Wi-Fi, also it won't connect to any other Wi-Fi. It will not notify me when I have available networks to connect to. I've reset the network setting countless times and still nothing is working. 

    Try restoring your phone, first from a backup & then as a new phone.
    If you still have issues after restoring as new, the phone has a hardware issue and needs to be replaced. You'll have to bring it to an Apple store to be evaluated.

  • Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

    My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas.  It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode.  I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen.  I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note: Data will be lost

  • IPhone 3G won't connect to wifi, it's been connected before but now it won't work, the iTouch connects with no problem, it's just the phone. I've tried resetting it, updating it, and everything and still no luck.

    I have a iPhone 3G that is running 3.1 and about 2 days ago, it was fine, connecting to wifi and everything. But now, it won't even find any networks? I've tried going to public places (I.E. McDonald's) and other places that have free wifi, and it can't detect the wifi, Why won't my phone find my home wifi now? I've tried resetting the network settings, I've reset the entire phone, i've done about everything all the other posts talked about. Anyone else got an idea?

    I have, yes. I've been shutting it down by holding the sleep/wake key and the home button, aswell. Then I go in and reset network settings and I just get back to it not finding any wifi around. It has the little searching sign, but it just keeps going with nothing showing up.

  • My iphone 4s won't connect to wifi but other people's do

    I have a new iphone 4S and it won't connect to the wi fi at our home.  Other people in my family have iphones or nexus and they all will connect.
    I enter the password and the wireless symbol appears for a second but then it says unable to connect.
    I have no trouble connecting to other wifis in other locations.
    Thanks in advance, it is getting very frustrating.!!!

    Just had this same problem I went to the apple store today and they told me my wifi card was out and then gave me a new phone but I backed it up and it's not working again so they said one of my apps might have a virus that is interfering with my wifi so it's back to apple again tomorrow They said they will give me another new phone but I will have to set it up as new and will probably lose everything except the contacts that I have backed up so if I were you I would back up your pics and everything else in iCloud

  • IPhone 4S won't connect to wifi E2500

    When I try to connect new iPhone 4S, it goes to the page for all the info (IP address, etc.) instead of just asking for the password input. I've tried disconnecting router and restarting, plugging iPhone into iMac laptop, etc. (PC is hardwired into server and PC laptop, iMac laptop and former iPhone 3 all connected to wifi w/o difficulty.) Went to site of purchase (12/2011) of Lynksys E2500. They suggested might need to download a driver.
    Any suggestions on how to locate and install updates to driver for E2500 to allow connection to iPhone 4S?

    First of all try connecting the iPhone 4s once again in the following way. Here is the link for the same: http://cydiajb.com/forum/connect-iphone-4-to-wireless-router/.
    The Cisco Connect software has the capability to update the router or hotspot’s software and firmware automatically. Here is the link for updating the router’s software and firmware using Cisco Connect:

  • IPhone 5S won't connect to wifi after downloading iOS 7.0.1

    I bought the iPhone 5S this morning and restored from the previous backup of iOS 7. Everything went fine after it almost immediately asks you to log into a wifi network, I typed in the password. As one would naturally expect, I had no issues. Then I downloaded and install the new 7.0.1 iOS. Went through the setup and when the prompt to log into the same network popped up, I typed in the same password but this time I get an "Incorrect Password" for my network. I'm literally copy/pasting it and typing it in slowly but no success.
    VERY annoying considering I JUST bought this product...

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 update.  Same issue.  I had no issues previously with iOS 6.  So far I've only NOT been able to connect to my home router.....until about 10 minutes ago.   I selected my SSID and chose the option to FORGET the network, restarted my router by unplugging the power supply, let sit for 30 seconds, then re powered it.  Went into my iPhone settings, turned wifi OFF, then turned Bluetooth OFF.  Turned wifi back ON and kept Bluetooth OFF (though there should be no direct correlation) and the router SSID appeared, so I tried my KEY again (WPA2 encryption) and it finally connected.  I would also recommend turning all wifi sync services off just in case, they aren't doing any good without wifi anyway. I really hope this helps. I'm going to update my iPad mini today and see if the same issue comes up and apply the same steps mentioned.  Good luck, even if this doesn't help, I'm sure someone (if not Apple) will help resolve the issue.

  • Iphone 3g won't connect to wifi. Please help!

    I have had an iphone 3g for a couple of years now. For the last month it has been unable to connect to any wifi. I have tried everything from restoring it to updating my software. Nothing has worked. The only times I have been able to connect to wifi is when I have accidently dropped my phone. I was able to stay connected for a couple of hours. When I try to connect to wifi it says "unable to join the network (name of network)". Can someone please help me!

    I assume you have rebooted the phone, as that is a basic step.
    Go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. This may or may not fix it.

  • IPhone 4s won't connect to Wifi or my Macbook Air

    I have an iPhone 4s (iOS 7.1 software, phone says it is up-to-date) and it is not recognized by my Macbook Air (OS X version 10.9.2, computer says it is also up-to-date). I switched computers in January, from a Macbook Pro to a Macbook Air, but did not transfer any iTunes information onto the Macbook Air from the Pro. I've avoided connecting my phone to iTunes on the Air because I would lose my music on my phone (which I have backed up on the Pro). I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, figured it was worth mentioning. My iPhone also stopped connecting to Wifi (it is greyed out), causing me to use a lot of data. How do I fix these two issues?

    at this very moment, all of apple's servers are a little over loaded, so i wouldn't be surorised if you have trouble baking up to iclou right now. with that being said, go a head and try restting your network settings under Settings > General >Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • IPhone 6 Won't Connect to Wifi

    I just got the iPhone 6 this morning, and I can't get it to connect a wifi network.  It does not give me any error messages, it just has the spinning wheel.  However, I was able to connect one wifi network, so I am fairly certain it isn't the hardware on the phone.  But, I have tried it on about 5 other networks at my work and I can't get anything.  I have tried some troubleshooting: Turn airplane mode on for 30 seconds and then off, reboot the phone, reboot the router(s), reset network settings.  None of these have helped.  Any advice would be appreciated!

    My wi-fi signal drops off at least 3 times per night and my router is in the same room as me. I have a Netgear R7000 and i've tested my iPhone 6+ running IOS 8.0.2. I've connected it to both my 5Ghz and 2Ghz networks and they continually drop off. bang went my data allowance when i was using the phone without realising.
    We need this sorted - and i have plenty of available ip addresses on my network so this is not the problem. Apple (when i was in the store) changed the network settings in the location services but this lasted one day. Ive continually tried resetting the network settings and re-added them when i'm in range of my known wi-fi networks both at work and home.
    Come on Apple this is delaying me from working. (Purchased a Mac Air on Monday and this hasn't dropped off my network once, nor has my wife's 5c and neither has my old 5s....
    help someone...anyone?, is Apple listening?

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi. Already reset network settings and reset the whole phone.

    iPhone 5, updated to most recent iOS. Will not connect to wifi at any location, home, work, mall. I have tried resetting the network connections, restarted the phone, even backed it up and completely reset the whole thing. I have to be sitting on top of the router to even get connected, and even then it will disconnect constantly. I used to be able to get full connection even on the other side of the house. Started out of no where, can't even find the network at home to try to connect to. It's not a problem with the routers because no one else is having a problem. It's driving me crazy.
