Why is my iphone 4 unable to connect to my wireless network?

When I try to join my wireless network it say ' unable to join network' . I had no problem connecting with my laptop.

Try rebooting the router. Just unplug the power for a few seconds and reconnect. It does no harm.

    I have done resets on off and nothing? HELP!

    What is that and how. I have 3 airports all configured identically and connected to one router via ethernet!
    A power cycle is powering down for ~ 1 minute and powering back up.

  • I'm unable to connect to my wireless network

    I am unable to connect to my wireless network on my iphone 4.  It worked previously. My husband has no problem with his iphone connecting.

    Same here. Upgraded 2 separate iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now both get an error that say "incorrect password" when trying to connect. iPad 1 upgraded to iOS5 and all 3 macs connect fine using same password. (Router is Apple Airport base station running 7.5.2)

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to home wireless network

    After updating to iOS 7 my iPhone 5 has been unable to connect to the wireless network in my home.  It will recognize it, ask me to input password, and then it will say it cannot connect.  I have shut the iPhone 5 on/off, turned on/off the wireless, turned on/off the bluetooth, and attempted to install the latest iOS update (but cannot because it won't let me unless I am connected to wifi).
    I am having this problem with my MacBook Pro as well.

    There is something wrong with your wireless router or network - especially if you have no problem connecting your iPhone and MPB with any other wi-fi network besides your own.
    Have you tried resetting your wireless router and network in conjunction with the modem, and/or have you checked the manufacturer's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that has not been installed?
    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network - WEP, or WPA2?

  • Macbook air is unable to connect on hidden wireless network

    Dear users and support,
    I have just bought my macbook air with lion os already installed, but I am unable to connect to hidden wireless network. Is there any trick to fix it? even though I am typing the name and password it's unable to login.
    Please advice.
    tks,

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Reset the System Management Controller.

  • I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

  • Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

    I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
    I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
    The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
    Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
    Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

    I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

  • Unable to connect laptop to wireless network

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my wireless network, but my iPad does so I know it must be a problem with my computer rather than the network. Any suggestions?
    I'm not sure if there is some obscure setting that I need to change.

    Give us more information, please.
    Is your wireless network supplied by your ISP, your landlord, your own router, or something else?
    What can you tell us about the settings on your wireless network? (Not the passwords.)
    Did this ever work, or is this the first time you have tried to connect the MBP to this wireless network?
    What model/year MBP is this? It has to be somewhat old if it is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as per your profile.

  • Why is the iPhone so BAD at connecting back to mobile networks?

    Reading various threads it would seem that Apple gave up sometime ago making a device that actually works well at mobile connectivity. Their antennae technology must be as out of date as their map data or as poorly tested.
    Quite often I come out of the tube or a lift and have "no service". This I accept but it seems to take a lifetime for the phone to realise a signal is available. It could be down to mobile mast registration so is really a network issue but a 4 year old bog standard Nokia phone seems to cope ok getting a signal at places an iPhone can only dream of and shows the fact that it has a signal in a heart beat.
    A fix I have found is to make a call. If no signal is available then rightly this will not work but if the iPhone is just being as intelligent as a household brick this seems to do the trick triggering mobile mast registration or the phone to wake up and hey presto i have 3 bars of connectivity increasing to 5 as i get more into the open. However, this does not seem to work just by triggering a data request, you just get the "no Internet" available warning.
    So either calls register the device quicker which would make some sense as they can use GSM or the device always tries to make a call triggering a search but if no service is recorded never tries to search so it can send data.
    Regardless of which, why is the phone so BAD at detecting and registering with networks after all this is the raison d'être of a mobile device.
    Do we ever think the Apple will stop for a moment adding meaningly upgrades and examine this boring but fundamental requirement?

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to WPA2 wireless network

    I just got a new iPhone 5 from AT&T and it will not connect to my AT&T home wireless network. I keep getting "unable to join network "SSIDNAME".  It has connected before but briefly before dropping the connection.  When it does connect, the access is extremely slow. I see a thread on this issue and hope there is a fix soon.

    I've rebooted the AT&T supplied wireless router which helped with the connectivity issue but when I do get connected, the Safari browsing is painlessly slow and I can't seem to get the full bandwidth potential as I did with my old iPhone.  I'm returning my iPhone 5 to AT&T soon if this doesn't get resolved soon.

  • Unable to connect to new wireless network in Mountain Lion with Photosmart C4780

    I have a Photosmart C4780 and have just upgraded my imac to Mountain Lion. HP are not providing new drivers for my printer as they say it will work with Mountain Lion. I have downloaded software updates. However, I have just changed my wireless network as I have a new broadband provider but am unable to connect to it. My problem is that the set up assistant software provided which I used originally to set up does not work with Mountain Lion.
    Any ideas please?

    I have solved my problem, I've bought an Epson. It works perfectly. If HP can treat their customers with such disinterest and contempt I don't want to give them my money. 

  • IPhone 4 suddenly stopped connecting with home wireless network

    Upon getting a new wifi router, initially my iPhone 4 connected. Last night I lost wifi conneciton on it and cannot get it back. Updated to IOS 7.1 to see if it would help. Nothing. Have reset network setings, gone into airplane mode and attempted hard restart. Have also reset modem. The phone worked on another wireless network and all other devices in our house are working fine. Does anyone have any insights/ had this problem before? House network is Bell Fibe.
    The phone can see the wirless network but when we go to connect it infinetly spins.
    Thanks!!

  • Macbook (10.4.11) unable to connect to one wireless network

    We have one student who is unable to connect to our student wireless network. He's using a Macbook (black) with 10.4.11 and all updates. He's got a stock Airport card. We have an Airport Extreme broadcasting the network. Other students are able to connect without any problem. He's able to connect to our teacher's network without any problem.
    When we try to connect his airport to the student network, it reports "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'Riverstone Students'." No further information is provided. I've tried removing it from his preferred networks, removing the key from the keychain, and reconnecting, but no change.
    Any suggestions gratefully received!

    Just found out a little info about my work network. We are using a SMC Network 8014 W-G broadband modem and a Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point, and the security is WEP. I have tried to login to the device webpage to check/adjust settings but nobody here knows the password and "admin" doesn't work. I really don't want to do a hard reset and take the chance of screwing up the network for everybody in the office (apparently it was quite complicated to set up when they first installed it, I wasn't around then). Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks

  • Unable to connect to Office Wireless Network (802.1x) after Windows Update

    Hi, my notebooks are on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. We have only recently started Windows Updates.
    We are on a Wireless network 802.1x.
    In the past, we are able to do the following steps :
    1. Open the "connections are available" window by clicking on the wireless icon (signal bars with yellow sun)
    2. Right click on the desired network and choose properties
    3. Change settings (eg. MEAP or use local Windows credentials etc)
    4. Click connect to connect
    Now, from the "connections are available" window, when we right click on the desired Network, only "connect" is shown.
    In this case, I cannot connect to the network as the settings are wrong, if I cannot connect to the network how do I change the settings ?
    Please kindly advise

    Hi,
    I agree with britishdhez.
    In addition, I would like to confirm which update caused this issue. Is it a driver update? I suggest installing driver update from the manufacturer's website.
    You can also reinstall the wireless driver:
    a. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
    b. Expand "Network adaptor".
    c. Right click on your network card and then click Uninstall
    d. Remove the driver software at the same time.
    After that, restart the computer and reinstall the network card driver.
    Meanwhile, you may run the Network troubleshooter to see if it can help diagnose and solve your problem:
    Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-sg/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
    Also, please remove the wireless network profile for a test. 
    Delete a profile
    At the command prompt ( Win+ R-->CMD ), type:
    netsh wlan delete profile name="ProfileName"
    For you reference: Netsh Commands for Wireless Local Area Network (wlan)

  • CISCO WIP310 unable to connect to any wireless network

    Hi all,
    I just purchased a brand new WIP310 phone. I followed User Guide instructions on how to join the phone to a wireless network but I always get a "failure connecting to the router" message. I do have a CISCO 1841 with HWIC-AP-G-E card and I created an open SSID for the phone. The SSID is actually not broadcasted, but I get the same failure message from the phone even when the SSID is broadcasted. The SSID is completely open, no security at all. I tried switching the Dot11Radio Interface to any possible radio channel, from 1 to 13. Again same result. The phone is running firmware 5.0.8 and when I try to upgrade it, I get a success message from the gui, but rebooting the phone always shows the same old firmware. Any idea? I even tried several Access Point with the same bad result. Thanks

    Hi Marco,
    actually it took me quite a long time to understand what the problem was. I found that on my CISCO AP i had to put "payload-encapsulation dot1h" on the radio interface to get the WIP310 communicate with the AP.
    By the way It seems to me that the phone is a little buggy from the wireless point of view. Sometimes i have to try several times before getting the phone connected to the AP. Once the phone gets connected it's pretty stable, but getting it connected it's a nightmare :-)
    Try with the above ption if you have a Cisco AP. Also try different channels on the AP...it might help
    Hope this will help you
    regards
    Nicola
