Unable to join my network
I just got a new iTouch 3rd generation. I'm trying to set it up to my wi-fi. When I try to log on the touch, I get a message that states "unable to join the network". what can I do to get it to join?
Yes. My mistake... My router needed some time to identify the iPod... And I guess I was getting to anxious... It finally identified it, and now it connects. Thanks.

New iPod Unable to join the network after inputting password
Got my iPod this am..
looked too good to touch no pun intended.
I went through the instructions, interrupted with an offer to update_, which I did.
I then saw that the iPod was off line and went to set up the connection.
I do have a Time Capsule but I just use it as an external drive, I use Ethernet connections between it my Netopia router/modem which provides my Wi Fi for another computer.
I have a WPA-PSK security on the Netopia.
My Wi Fi shows up on available networks, I am asked for my password but then I get a message "Unable to join the network"
I must admit that my password is long (and a bit racy) my fingers a bit big, but I know that I have got it right on at least a few occasions.
I have tried entering the details on "Other network" with the same result.
Could my WPA-PSK be a problem?
I would be most grateful for any suggestions.
Various forms of this problem have appeared on this forum, but I think mine is a bit different.
Thank you.Thank you.
Went through that pretty well.
Finally solved it in 2 steps.
1. reset my modem/router to factory settings.
Odd situation, wireless settings, but dependent on ethernet connection.
2. read a post from Hong Kong re strange network settings.
On his advice, into network, changed location from Automatic to one of my choosing.
Bingo! everything came good.
Totally wireless connection. iPod jumped to it. Isn't it great when everything comes together?
I still wonder why it didn't take the signal from the WiFi part of my Modem/Router?
Probably just as well as it sorted my Time Capsule connections out, probably for the first time since I bought one back in early 2008, and its recent replacement when it joined the epidemic of sudden death recently.

I bought a used i-pod touch 4 gen that I'm trying to set up. It isn't lettting me join my home wi-fi network. So I turn it on and I pick language, then country , then my wi-fi network. When I put in my password is says - unable to join the network. I have 4 other Apple products that I have that are working fine. Please help
Badunit you said "Continue setting up without the network. You can skip past it, right?"
It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
- Reset the iOS device.
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.
- Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem. -
When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3 I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home. I have already tried the following:
turn wi-fi off and on again
did a hard restart of my iPad
reset network connections back to factory settings
verified wi-fi is working as my computer accesses internet without issue.
verified that my software is up to date.
Does anyone have more suggestions?Couple of suggestions.
First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices. I work in such a place. You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings. So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions. -
IPhone 5 wi-fi "unable to join the network"
My new iPhone 5 is my first iPhone and I've had it about a week. I'm still in the process of setting it up but cannot connect to my home (secured) wi-fi. I've been reading other Apple forums and Google suggestions and it appears this is a known Apple issue? My phone came with iOS 6 installed so I have no update available. I've turned off my router and shut off my phone, rebooting both but I still get an error message when entering our wi-fi password: "unable to join the network". I've turned off cellular and re-tried wi-fi to no avail. I am NOT impressed with my first Apple product. What a hassle. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try or am I stuck waiting months for an Apple fix?
There are a couple of things that you can try. First, try disabling the security on your wifi network and see if the phone will connect. Check the type of security you are using. Some have reported the iPhone reacts differently to some wifi security. Check to see if there is a firmware update to the router. This is usually the biggest culprit of the bunch. Once routers have been updated and restarted, troubles disappear.

I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect my iPad. Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss. Anyone else have that problem? I've gone thru all my settings and can't seem to find a way to log into my network. Don't get the option to put in my password. It just give me the name of my network and option of dismiss instead of password.

Unable to Join the network ...
I've seen similar posts with the same title but none of these solutions work for me. The problem is that I can not connect to my home Wi-Fi network. Following are the details:
- I have a new iPod Touch with OS 2.2.1
- My wireless router is an Airport Extreme running 7.4.2
- My wireless security is WPA2 Personal
- I have no problem connecting other devices such as Mac laptops and desktops so I know the correct password and the usual settings
- I have also been able to connect my Touch to another wireless network with WPA2 security! This leaves me to believe there must be some incompatible setting on my Airport Extreme.
- I have gone through the various trouble-shooting steps on Apple's support site, to no avail. I have reset both the Touch and the Airport many times
- The Touch can see my network but when I enter the (correct) password I get the error "Unable to Join the Network ..."
Any help would be appreciated! I can certainly take my Touch to my local genius bar, but that won't help if the problem is with my Apple wireless router.If you can see your network, then you are at least not making the same mistake as many AE users - leaving the router broadcasting in N mode only.
Are you using anything like MAC address filtering on your network? Is DHCP on? The easiest thing you can try is a) reset the touch network settings; b) log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other network and re-entering your network name (case sensitive), security, and password (also case sensitive).
Try that and let us know what happens. -
Unable to join Airport Network
I am being baffled by a network problem.
I have 2 Macs, a MBP 17 inch running Snow Leopard and an old Powerbook G4 running 10.4. Both connect to a no security (ie no password wireless) network at home. "Suddenly" the MBP will not join the wireless network (A DSL model D-Link). Error message when running diagnostics of "Unable to join Airport network.....". The G4 works just fine.
Have tried rebooting both devices ie the MBP and the D-Link. The MBP will work fine with a cable attached to the D-Link but not wirelessly!
Also, the MBP can see the Powerbook in the FINDER under "Shared".
Any ideas?
Thanks
BFYeah, thanks Bob, I got my MBP Safari to talk to D-Link via the http://10.1.1.1 address, put in a WEP password. Saved the changes and restarted the router. When I connect via Airport it asks for a password - I type it in then it times out. Then I went to the Powerbook and the Vista machine and they connected fine. I used my iphone and told it the password and it also worked fine.
I prefixed it on my MBP with $ and without $ - all to no avail. I am starting to think maybe the MBP wants a WPA password for some reason. It worked fine until last night! Very strange indeed. Any more ideas?
What gets me is that one moment it works and the next it is dead as a dodo... -
Can anyone help? EDGE is working fine for me, but I want to go a bit faster when I an at Home and connect to my mac's airport. Do I have to have a airport base station to accomplish this? My IPhone is reconizing my mac, but I keep getting "unable to join the network 'myname's iMAC G5'". I am getting a strong signal (from the airport drop-down menu) and I have "use interference robustness" turned on, but still unable to connect. Any advice? Thanks
Allan is right, if your iMac G5 is sharing it's network connection, that is what the iphone is picking up.
If this is the case, on your iMac, try going into your system preferences > sharing and turn off internet sharing.
Then power off your iphone and power cycle your airport. Then turn your iphone back on and check to see if the iphone sees your airport network.
If it does not see your network, the airport might not be broadcasting the network name. This can be set up for security reasons.
Go into settings > wi-fi and choose other. This will allow you to put in the name and password of your network. -
After getting 4G with AT&T I am unable to join my network and get the error message: Unable to join the network "Jude". How do I fix this? Thank yo
Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in). Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

Wi-Fi Low Connectivity - unable to join any network
I have an Ipod touch, which was working beautifully until about 2 days ago. Wi-fi connection was great (3 bars) and there were no problems at all. Almost overnight, my wifi connectivity seems to have disappeared (now 1 bar) and any network that I had previously joined is denying me access, saying unable to join network. These are all networks (around 6 or so) that i had joined and were previously letting me join automatically. Even my home router had disowned my itouch, even though my ibook still works perfectly wirelessly. I've reset all the settings on my pod, and even wiped it once, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. All the passwords i am entering are correct, as i've watched people using them, yet my ipod is still unable to join any network. Any ideas - i think it could be a signalling issue, as other people ipods seem to have much stronger signals, but it's beginning to seriously **** me off...
I think that you will have no problems connecting your iPods at the Apple store. But it is good idea that you can get them checked out.
Back to your home network. AT&T u-verse routers are somewhat problematic but I did dig up this article on connecting a touch to the router:
http://utalk.att.com/utalk/board/message?board.id=HSIA&message.id=9757
From what I can tell, this router only uses WEP encryption and you would log on via the number on the name plate of the router as your password.
The other thing is that ATT has had serious DNS problems across the country. On your touch you would most likely get a message that the "server was not responding" and on your MacBook, web surfing would just put you to sleep. I have a feeling that is what was going on when you came home and neither iPod would work.
There is a fix for the DNS problem - use OpenDNS. -
I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router. When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
