Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Question: New IPad error message "unable to join network" on my home wifi.

    Hi. Bought New IPad and used it on commercial wifi spots like Starbucks, no problem. At home my Linksys sees my wifi network but when I enter password I get "unable to join network" error message. My IPad 2 connects as usual. Same password. No problem.
    I rebooted router and then turned on New IPad. Same result. I re-set network settings to factory. Still get "unable to join network". Tried entering Security Key instead of password. No go.
    Please help. Thanks.

    found answer. Choose "other" network. Put Security Key in box asking for Password.
    For me, entered WPA and Name of exisitng network.

  • Another Iphone topic with unable to join network

    Yes, I have reset the iphone and router
    Yes, I have unsecured the network and was able to join, but once I secured it...I get the unable to join
    Yes, I have updated the firmware and cycled the power on my WRT54GS
    Yes, I have tried lower case letter in the password
    Yes, I have created a static IP and entered the information
    Yes, the security on the WRT54GS is WPA
    Yes, I have check to see if the wireless channel was in 1 or 11
    Anything else??

    Dingle, I currently share your problem; however... I was able to login to networks ONCE. The first time. The phone was new (just got it a few days ago), and I joined the network at work, and one in another office. Happy connects. Successful connects. Never again though. Now I get the 'unable to join network error' consistently when I try to join these very same networks. I have reset my network settings. Turned off 3G capabilities (since it's another thing that I've noticed changed since those few early days of new phone, that is, I noticed 3G receptivity is on all the time now with high bars, although when I first got the phone I got ATT, E, the dot, and 3G... they all took turns). The error remains. I wonder if it's an app that I may have installed. I also just connected the phone to my Mac for the first time, but that was post 'unable to join network' error. webapp?? Could it be a memory issue? I don't even know how to refresh cache (or if one even exists).

  • Ipad unable to join network

    iPad mini, using my network just fine for several weeks now.  Was having a problem with online games loading, so went to wi-fi settings and clicked "Renew Lease".  Now I can no longer connect.  Keeps telling me "unable to join network".  Laptop connects fine.  Turned iPad off, forgot network, nothing works.

    Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

  • I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.

    I've reset my network settings , my wireless router is working fine, my iPhone keeps saying unable to join network.

    Are there other devices that can connect to your Wi-Fi and work just fine?
    You can troubleshoot this using http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 as well. If you need to restore your iPhone at all, use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US and set it up as new to see if this still happens. If it does, you might need a replacement

  • Unable to join network on Iphone5

    sudenly my iPhone 5 gives this message "Unable to Join the network ..." when i try to join my WiFi at home. i tried resetting the router, rest the network settings on my iPhone, but still get same error message.

    This might work for some of you. I'm pretty sure most of these issues are caused by the type of Wireless Security and the Radio mode of the router. I had to rule out a lot of enviromental factors to get my problem fixed—type of case, the walls or how I was holding the phone.
    I had 2 random problems with the WiFi of my iPhone 5 (6.1.3):
    • "Unable to join network ..."
    • If it did connect, it had a very poor ping+up/down speeds (lots of Speedtest.net results)
    My home network setup:
    • 2nd gen Airport Extreme (7.6.3)
    • Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    • Network extended with an Airport Express (7.6.3)
    • Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g Compatible)
    • Radio Channel: Auto
    • Location: AEBS is in the basement and the Express is on 2nd floor.
    • Router Mode: DHCP & NAT with a 365 days for the lease on each IP
    • The Airport Express is setup to "Extend a wireless network"
    I have 2 other iOS 6 devices and 3 other Macs which have no problem connecting to the above setup. The iPhone 5 on the other hand either couldn't connect or when it did, it would have a very poor connection. It always forced me to switch to LTE.
    After many months of putting up with this problem on my phone, I finally gave up and booked an appointment at the Apple store. They wiped the phone and did the usual test with the Apple store WiFi which is freaky fast. The phone had no problems using their open network—both before or after the wipe. I was pretty disapointed after wasting 2 hours of my day.
    I came home hoping the problem had gone away. Nope. "Unable to join ..." ARGHHhh... One of the solutions that people have suggested is to switch to an unsecure WiFi. That's not heppning here. So, I decided to play around with the settings and see what works and this is what FIXED my problem:
    • Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5GHz)
    • Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    That's it. After the reset of both the base station and the Express, my iPhone 5 has been connected for a few hours without any problems. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting a few times and so far so good. I hope this works for some of you.

  • 8gb 4th generation ipod touch is unable to join network

    This started a couple days ago after I unplugged and re-plugged my router. The internet works fine on the computer, and on everyone else's phone in the house, but not on my ipod touch. I've tried resetting the network settings (multiple times), and unplugging my router while waiting 30 seconds or so to plug it back in. I do not think it is a password issue because I've entered my correct password multiple times as well and I only receive the "Unable to join the network ____", even when I input the incorrect password so I could test it, it resulted in me getting the "unable to join network" notification again. I don't know what else I can do to fix this problem and I would really appreciate some help on this issue.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
