Unable to connect to wifi.. "incorrect password"
So I'm sitting here at the car dealer getting some service done and they have a sign indicating free wifi Internet service.
Nice. So I try to log on with the iPad...15 times. I think maybe I'm typing the password in wrong or they changed it so I try on the iPhone. Works the first time. I am still unable to connect...it says incorrect password.
Is this the wifi problem wveryones been talking about or am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Thanks
(typing this on the iPhone which right now looks downright TINY!!!
Here's my issue... Incorrect password.onlyfix I found is a network reset...
So here's my issue... I have both a 32GB wifi, and a 64GB 3G Ipad. They both behave the same when it comes to network connections..
Here's what I have @ home... Dlink 685 router. Set up as WPA2 .. 2.4hz also set up for g&n mixed...
So here's a typical day... I use my Ipad at Starbucks..No problem with the att network. I then go to my office get onto the DIR-655 Dlink router.. WPA2 same specs as my home for settings... No issues there.... Of coarse there is the signal getting weaker but it always seems to come back. Then I get home..... I am prompted to Re-enter the password to the network and it spins for a minute then re-prompts me for the password...
Then I do a " Settings - General - Network reset" and when it reboots I enter the home network password and it connects and I am operational again...
This is a daily thing with both Ipads so I know it is a software issue. It's just a pain in the butt to re-enter all the passwords everyday, everywhere I go...
Any suggestions for a different way around the issue without a hard reset?
Also I have tried WAP, and WEP and experienced the same thing.. I have also tried N only and switched the channel from 1 to 11 all with the same results. I have also used a Linksys WRT150N and experienced the same issue with a forced network reset...
Help if you can.. Also will a daily network reset damage anything or corrupt the OS?

I am unable to connect to wifi on my Iphone 5
I have rest my phone and everything and I am still unable to connect to wifi. I entered my passcode at my apartment and it didn't work and now I am at my university and I have entered my secure passcode and it is still not working. Can you please help me with this?
I was experiencing the same problem. Tried numerous fixes. What finally worked was I went into Settings>General>About; recorded my Wi-Fi Address, and manually entered it into my router as an recognized/allowed device. Selected by network, entered the password on the iPhone, and Bingo! I was in!!
Good Luck -

I haven't been able to connect to my wifi since this morning. I have tried turning off the wifi and turning it back on.

I have checked with others in my office, who are on the same network and have the same iphone and they all seem to be able to connect to wifi.
But have you tried turning your ROUTER off and on? -

IPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi
iPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi - signal good, iPad connects fine but iPhone comes up with error message "Unable to join the network". I've tried reboot. Any ideas?
ThanksI called Apple and explained the problem. After I explained the wifi connection problems, they said it was a hardware issue and sent me to my local Apple store and exchanged mine for a new iPhone. I backed it up prior to getting the new phone and it was easily restored.

Unable to connect to wifi Linksys
Purchased IPAD 2 four days ago and I have been on the phone with customer service and read several forums and I am still unable to connect to WiFi even though I have two Laptops and a wireless printer which all work fine. I have done all resets, changed my security to WPA from WEP after speaking to customer support at Apple but still unable to connect. I have a Linksys router WRT54GS and would replace it if I knew this would help but I am not seeing anything to say this will work. Any suggestions?

Unable to connect to WiFi temp fix
IM in IT with a major 500 company and what I've done to be able to connect to my wifi at home was to go into the router setting and change the wifi channel from auto to 1-11 and that worked for me. When I was connect to my wifi at home I was getting unable to connect to wifi. I noticed this after upgrading to iOS6. It looks like IOS6 has issues with the Channel functions on the router it's connecting to. Although you are able to connect I noticed that the signal will sway from 3 to 2 bars and this has nothing to do with your router but how the iPhone searches and connects to WiFi locations. The only fix for that would be for apple to fix its iOS.
Try this -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

TS1398 after updating the OS unable to connect to WIFI
after updating the OS to 5.1.1.1 I'm unable to connect to Wifi, while the Wifi is working perfectly for my Iphone

Additional things to try.
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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

TS1398 ipod touch 5.1.1 unable to connect to wifi
unable to connect to wifi with a ipod touch 5.1.1////the wifi remains gray
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

IPad 3 Wifi "incorrect password," no connectivity
I bought two new iPad 3s. Both worked fine yesterday. Suddenly, one of them won't connect to wifi and says incorrect password (DEFINITELY correct). I also notice that suddenly I cannot connect to Safari or anything else with the use of my AT&T wireless account. Settings/Cellular Data/View Account, and it just spins the wheel, no connection. I tried Reset Network Settings. I restarted the ipad. I restarted the router. Has anybody figured this out?
