TS1398 unable to join network error

my ipad 2 has worked great with my wireless router for months. now i keep getting"unable to join network" error. i have reset the iPad and the router with no luck. the router is working fine any ideas?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
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.
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

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).

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.

After updating my 4s to the newest iOS, I am unable to join my wi-fi at home, and a, using way more data on my plan.

Ever since I have upgraded my phone to a 4s, with the new iOS6, and now even with the iOS 6.1 that I updated with this am, I am STILL getting the message "unable to join network" at home. I only have 2 GB of data usage between my partner and I, and that's because we use most of our internet at our home. I have used 65% of my data as of this am. I'm by no means a techie, but I need to figure this out! HELP!
Please and Thank you!

Iphone 5 wifi unable to join network

iphone 5 wifi unable to join network issue
I am an engineer and I have tried every tweek to my airport router and unles you are standing 10ft from the ruter you get the unable to join network messsage.
naturally it work fine at the Apple Store who preformed a full reset on the phone. Other people are having this issue same a me and apple chooses not to acknowledge it, Maybe they will when I contact the consumer journalists at CNN ABC CBS & NBC news they love to here about Apple problems remember the Iphone 4 antenna issues!
APPLE ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!!!
AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND SAY YOU ARE WORKING ON IT.
THINKOF IT THIS WAY
PEOPLE ARE GETTING PHONES EXCHANGED OUT AT APPLE STORES AND THE CARRIERS ONLY TO FIND THAT CHANGING THE PHONE DOES NOTHING REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS COSTING YOU MONEY AND WASTING YOUR STORE PERSONNELS TIME TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE HOME OFFICE CAN FIX!

Dear Engineer...Apple does not read these posts. We are end users just like you

Firmware 2.0.2 Ramifications: "Unable to Join Network"

It seems like ever since I put 2.0.2 on my 3G iPhone WiFi problems have suddenly entered the picture. I'm usually connected to my home WiFi network via a Belkin N1 Vision router. Ever since the 2.0.2 upgrade the WiFi connection gets repeatedly dropped/blocked. What I mean by that is that when I wake my phone up to use it, it doesn't connect to what was previously a working WiFi connection. When I dig into the available WiFi networks list and select my home network I get the "Unable to join network" alert. My only recourse is to restart the router.
This happens multiple times a day and it's bugging the crap out of me. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? More to the point, does anyone have a solution short of continually restarting the router?

Rohan Thompson,
Have you tried resetting network settings on the iPhone yet? To do so, just navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If the issue persists beyond that, I would recommend restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone. More information on that can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Trying to connect to a known internet connection but i keep getting the response "unable to join network"

Trying to connect to a known internet connection but I keep getting the response "Unable to join network" and the internet is connected, please help.

Okay now this description was pretty vague but it could be a few things. First thing to try. Turn wifi off and then one again and try to connect. If this fails read on.
The second step is to select that network in the wifi settings so you get an expanded menu of it. Follow these steps from the home menu on your ipad... SETTINGS>Wi-FI>NETWORK NAME (you have to click the little blue arrow)> FORGET THIS NETWORK. Then turn wifi off and then on. Then try to connect again. If this fails... well read on,
Okay, so now you really know it's most likely not your ipad, so go on down to your wifi router and turn it off, wait ten seconds, turn it on again. WITH YOUR IPAD OFF. Then turn on your ipad on and then try to connect again. If this fails... Then you'll have to do some more complex things. You could try setting up the network again. IF that fails too. Leave some details about your router, brand, year etc... And I'll try to let you know what else it could be.

HT1414 My ipod touch unable to join network.

My ipod touch unable to join network @home w/password, but able to join @other places w/password. I did everything from Apple website, but no luck. Please help. Thanks.

Saying that you : I did everything from Apple website" provides use iwht no information at to what you tried.
- Did you:
--- Reset the iPod, nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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 the router
--- Settings>General_Reset>Reset Network Settings
--- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
--- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
--- Changing the encryption of the router including using no encryption as a test.

Always able to access wi fi except one says unable to join network

Says I am unable to join network doesn't give me the password box just says unable to join network

It may be that the battery is the issue. I am having the same problems - unable to log in to my WIFI at home, which I have never had an issue with until yesterday, when I started getting the "Unable to access XXX network".
I have tried everything including full iphone restore and router factory restore, but nothing. I did note that after having the phone switched off overnight, I was able to access my wireless network for about fifteen minutes then it just dropped the connection and now I am back to no access whatsoever.
Take a read here:
http://www.applesource.com.au/iphone/soa/iPhone-Wi-Fi-failures-caused-by-battery -heat-/0,2000070787,339295984,00.htm
It is one of many internet postings on this issue and would make sense of the posting above mine..
I'm going to try reverting to 2.2.0 - people such as Leo Laporte on Macbreak Weekly have been complaining of battery issues since upgrading to 2.2.1
