Unable to join to network.......Help me PLEASE

Hi
I have just bought my husband an new ipod touch 16gb. Its his birthday today and i promised to have it set up for when he gets home from work to play on. IT WILL NOT connect to wireless. I have an ibook and that is connected now without any problems. Would it be the settings or what should i do? I have been on it all day and feel like throwing it out the window.
Can anybody help me please?
MEM xx

I just got my brand new 32gig iPod touch yesterday and it took me 30 minutes to get the **** thing connected to my wireless network. It recognized my network but kept telling me there was an error with my password.
In the end I logged into the router and verified everything. I checked to make sure MAC filtering was off and then checked my encryption settings: WPA Personal encryption.
So then I went back to the iPod touch but instead of choosing my wireless from the list that it recognized, I clicked Other and then manually typed in the wireless name. I also noted that in the Other options I could change the password encryption! So I did, to WPA, and **** if it didn't work the first time.
So try using Other and see if you can get that to work... but know your router settings first!

im on pay as you go.. still trying to set up wifi to my home network.. im putting in the password (sky broadband) and i keep getting the message
Unable to join the network...
driving me crazy now - please help !

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

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.

Are you using an Apple AirPort Base Station? Try restarting it, as well as your laptop.

I have a new iPad 2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router being installed. When I tap my network name (which is with TalkTalk) the message comes up "unable to join the network TalkTalk etc...)

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

How to solve the issue of 'Unable to join the network' on my iPhone 5!?

I used to connect to a wifi network on my iPhone 5 and suddenly i could not connect anymore to this network. My phone kept showing 'Unable to join the network'. I tried 'forget this network' and resetting the network settings but none of these solutions worked. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Are you refering to a home network or some form of public
if home network ensure your router has latest firmware and try rebooting it

HT204409 i'm receiving a message for unable to join the network when entering in the wifi password

the message I'm receiving on the Ipad mini when entering the home network password is: Unable to join the network!!!

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.

IPhone5 always unable to join any network!

I have had an iPhone5 for months but it has barely ever worked on wifi! I have done ALL the suggested actions on here e.g. airplane mode on then off, forget this network, reset network, tried it on various networks (home/work/public), rebooting, etc. All I ever get is unable to join the network "...". Can anyone please help?

What security is being used on the networks you want to join?
Are you enetering the Network Password correctly? This is the most common reason for failed connections.
Have you switched on your own Wi Fi hot spot in settings? If so turn it off.
Your iPhone should be able to join virtually any Wi Fi network.
If you continue to experience issues, make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get them to check it out.

IOS7.0.4 unable to join the network

hi guys,
im sure a lot of you have the same wifi issues with "unable to join the network", so i upgraded to iOS7.4 and hoping it to work. sadly NO.
had anyone found a solution yet?
the issue:
since upgrading to 7.0.3 (later I upgraded to 7.0.4), wifi of iphone 5c had stopped working. tested with multiple ssid from different vendor cisco, linksys, d-link and netgear. tried on networks with open authentication, wep, wpa1/2 PSK, 802.11x and etc.
the troubleshooting i've done:
1. other devices are able to connect to the SSID without a problem. not a wireless router problem.
2. my phone was working at 7.0.1, stoppped working since 7.0.3. not a hardware issue (assume iOS7 does not fail hardware)
3. followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398; and reset settings multiple times and reboot, no luck
4. from cisco wlc debug, i can see AP sent association (authentication passed) message back to iphone, but iphone failed to proceed with assocation and displayed "unable to join the network 'ssid'"
please help.
thanks in advanced
Ben

To yuangkuan,
My method is to introduce change into the setup. Even thought the wifi router works fine for the other devices, this iphone5 can't talk properly with the router. We can tweak either the iphone side or the router side.
1. Don't use auto wifi join. Click on "other network" among the list.
Type in your router's SSID, first set security to NONE (set router side to use no security for the time being too)
2. Enter a fixed IP address on your iphone. On the wifi router, enter your iphone's MAC address, set up an IP, for example if your range is 192.168.0.XXX, give it an address of 192.168.0.100
giving the last octet .100 ought to get it out of the way
On the wifi router, look at the list of attached devices to see if there other attached devices.
Bump off the other devices for the time being, by setting the security to NONE.
Set it to 802.11g if you have to. Set g mode to use only 20MHz.
We want to establish that your iphone5's wifi is working *at all*.
If you can get on your wifi router using minimalistic settings, ie 802.11g, no secuirty, fixed ip address, etc, then we can ratchet up the settings.
If all else fails, then it is possible that your phone's wifi chip's battery maintained parameters are messed up. You'll have to find a way to replicate the "power chord pull" (removal of power completely) from your iphone. This can be accomplished by running the battery to a complete zero% or physically pulling the battery connection connector inside the phone.
My laptop's wifi has been this state several times: my vpn timed out, and my laptop's wifi got into such a confused state that even a reboot or shutdown-power up would not fix it. I had to pull the battery out of the laptop, and sometimes even pull the power plug from the wifi router to get the wifi to work again.
Best regards.

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.
