"unable to join the network..." and it's my router!
My router is working fine for my iMac; and it was for my iPad as well until 2 days ago. Now I can't get a wi-fi connection...suggestions?
I have had this same problem and tried all the suggestions here and everywhere else I could find. So just a minute ago, I walked into the room my router is in, stood next to it with the ipad and IT CONNECTED! I didn't do anything different. I have had this ipad about 9 months and have come to realize that it is very tempermental about it's proximity to the router, although in the past I was usually able to connect from anywhere in the house but two rooms away from the router the signal would be weak. Go figure.

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. -
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.

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.

AE green light but still Unable to join the network - G5 and iPad 1st Gen
I gave my old 1st gen AE to my parents as they got an iPad and needed Wi-Fi. The AE is plugged directly into their ADSL box (Livebox - Orange in France if it makes any difference) and it worked from when they plugged it in a few weeks ago until now for some reason.
It still lights up with a continuous green light and both their G5 iMac and iPad finds the network (Apple Network Bbf09-whatever) but won't allow them to sign on. There is no password (never has been) as they live out in the country side so no leaching. They can individually sign on (one at the time only) wirelessly from the Orange ADSL modem which is no good.
Tried to unplug everything: ADSL Modem and AE left unplugged for a couple of minutes and reinserted. Still the light is solid green, shows up on the list of networks but won't connect. Keeps saying "Unable to join the Network"?
Anyone having any ideas?UPDATE: It turned out to be the ISP. The signal quality that came in was not very good for some reason and caused problems with the WiFi through the AX.

when i try to connect my new ipad to my home wifi i get a message saying unable to join the network BTHub and my only option is to dismiss
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

i have my wifi in my home with secure connection when i get connected to it ,it asks me the password and when i entered it, it shows that unable to join the network why is this happening...........
You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
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.

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.

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.
