TS1398 my iphone 5 will not automatically connect to known wifi
i just got the new iphone five. i connected to my home wifi with no problem. when i leave and come back the phone will not automatically connect to the wifi. i have no problem's with my wife's iphone or the ipad. i went to sprint store they were no help. any suggestions?
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.

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.

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. -
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?

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. -

Not automatically connecting to known Wifi networks anymore.
A few days ago my Macbook prompted me to update, i didn't check to see what the update was, but regardless since then my macbook refuses to automatically connect to known networks when i login/wakefromsleep etc. This is not just at home, even at my University it's having trouble connecting to the secure network there (which it used to connect to with no issue) and I'm being forced to use the open network with a VPN app. Is anyone else suffering a painfull airport? Any suggestions? Any way to undo the latest update if that is infact the cause?
Thanks.

Message was edited by: johnazI have had wireless problems intermittently for a year, and seriously for 6 weeks. Apple denied the issue and was no help in spite of many tens of thousands of people on their own discussions complaining. I found a post suggesting a couple of things which fixed the problem. I don't know if both are necessary, but the first by itself does not solve the problem.
Lock the channel of your router to channel 1, apparently Apple and 802.11n don't play well together on higher channels. When this becomes a standard this will be resolved I hope.
Open your network preferences, select 'airport' and advanced. Delete unused networks. Select your network.
Open TCP/IP and write down all the settings, configure iPv4 manually. Enter the settings manually. Turn off IpV6.
Open DNS and write down your DNS server. Delete it and re-enter it manually.
This has worked on 2 macbooks and an iMac for the last 3 weeks with no network drops.

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. -
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.

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. -
iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!
The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option. -
