Won't connect to home wifi?

why won't this **** thing connect to my home network? It was working previously and now won't connect. wifi is operational with other devices. ***???

Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If that doesn't work, cycle power on your network router.
If neither of those work (unlikely), try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home keys together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet. Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem. We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that. We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus. He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

Forgetting the Network didn't work. It's dong the same thing.
So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
It's only my iPod that won't connect.
Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

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:

- 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.

Tried everything - ipad2 still won't connect to home wifi

Situation
- home network wireless router is a linksys wrt54g - no login
- other laptops connect fine
- ipod touch connects fine
- new ipad2 works fine on home wifi until I upgrade to ios5.0.1
- now see three bars in the upper left next to the word ipad, with a spinning circle to the right of that when I open Safari (just hangs trying to open any site)
- new ipad2 works fine on other wifi (office, airplane, public hotspots) both before and after upgrade
- set to DHCP with a local IP address of 192.168.1.102, subnet of 255.255.255.0, router of 192.168.1.1,
What have I tried?
- turning wi-fi off and on w/in the ipad2 wifi networks screen
- hard reset of the ipad2 (home / power until apple logo, then release)
- network settings reset
- forget this network
- power cycling the router and cable modem
- manually deleting the ipad2 from the dhcp clients table via the router admin gui
- switching on and off airplane mode
- adding and deleting a client id from the network screen (by default it is blank)
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

So - after spending an hour on the phone/hold with apple with no solutions - I did a reset of the router - leaving the default SSID of 'linksys' - and it now works.

Ipod touch won't connect to home wifi?

the wifi was working fine until yesterday and now the connection won't even show up even though it works fine on my laptop. i've tried turning the ipod off and on, i've tried resetting the router, i've tried resetting the network settings on the ipod, still nothing. i can't do the thing where you hold down the power button and the home button because the power button is broke and the home button is almost broken as well. please help!!!

I have the same problem. I tried restart, restore software (even though it is brand new!), reset network settings, restarted modem + router. All my other non-Apple wifi connection are perfectly fine. Just the same message: "UNABLE TO JOIN THE NETWORK".

Just upgraded to ISO8 and now my iphone 4s won't connect to home wifi - keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when it's not - help please.......

Please help me - I've just upgraded my Iphone 4s to ISO8 and now I can't connect to wifi - was at my friends yesterday - always use his wifi and even though the password was correct, it wouldn't accept it. Came home and had the same problem. I can't use my data plan as it wouldn't be enough so now it's chewing through it.........The only thing I did different was upgrade......... I'm not computer savy so please leave me step by step instruction on how to fix if you can. I've tried rebooting etc and turning everything off - no luck.......

Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Then select Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your password when it requests it
After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
Good luck!

Lenovo g50-30 won't connect to home wifi.

Hello everybody, I just signed up to find a solution.
I got a lenovo g50-30 with windows 8.1 about three weeks ago, and I've had a wireless problem ever since. The laptop will connect to my wireless router (Thomson tg582n) but then it shows the limited connection alert. I can navigate for about 5 minutes but right after im unable to do so, while the rest of smart phones and tablets can connect to it. This issue began about five weeks ago with and old macbook I had, but it doesn't seem to have a fix. In college I'm able to connect to the wireless networks without trouble and Ethernet works fine as well. I've tried everything, restarting and restoring the router, changing channels and security encryptions, established the same IP address, I disabled, restored and enabled windows firewall, released and renewed IP, flushed DNS. Disabled and enabled WiFi adapter, uninstalled the drivers and installed them back again. I've seriously done everything I've found without success, so I come to you in desperation. It would mean the world if you could help. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP (mind the sarcasm)
Anyway guys, I found a pretty good solution that ended my connectivity problems. Just go to your wiifi configuration and properties and choose to stablish a custom DNS server, then type 8.8.8.8 as main server and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary one (These are Google's DNS free servers) And all of your problems will go away. If anything, feel free to ask.

IPhone 6 won't connect to home WiFi - Password Incorrect!

So, I got my brand new iPhone 6 yesterday.. Everything seems to work fine, except for internet connection..
Every time I attempt to connect, it rejects me, and tells me that the password is incorrect.
I also, can't really reach the the network by walking only 10 meters away.. I really have to stand right next to the router to get a chance.
I've tried reseting my phone completely, and it still doesn't work.
I can easily connect at school, that why I really can't decide if it's a hardware issue, or if it's my home network.
I just don't get it... Because we're a lot of users at home, we got tons of devices connected to the specific network. And its working impeccable.
So my question is.... Does this have something to do with iOS 8 and it's wellknown bugs, or do I have to get my iPhone replaced?

I just tried this and it worked, hopefully it works for you too, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out and nothing worked, I tried rebooting both my phone and the router, turning the airplane mode, etc etc I even took the password requirement off my router and still it would say "unable to join network"
All along it was my router and not my phone.
The routers have a list of allowed devices, called MAC filtering addresses, I had to manually add my phone's address and that fixed the "incorrect password issue"
I went to General > About > Wi-Fi address (copy that long number/letters thing) then log into your router and access the MAC filtering allowed devices list and enter that address in there and save it, that indicates to your router that your phone is allowed to access the network.
As soon as my husband added that address I tried entering the network password on my phone and finally it connected
Good luck!

If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

My iPhone 4 won't connect to our WiFi at home, but will at other WiFi spots. However, my parent's iPhones work and connect just fine at home using WiFi. I have called and talked to several people and no one seems to be able to help me.

The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
If that doesn't work then
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
If that doesn't work
Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
I hope one of these will help.

IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...

We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.

IPod touch (4th gen) won't connect to my wifi after being lost

I lost my iPod touch (4th gen) yesterday so "locked" it using iCloud. The nice folks at the vet office found it and I retrieved it today. Noticed it wasn't actually locked, could listen to podcasts and open apps right away, and it syncs fine when I connect it to my computer. But it won't rejoin my home wifi, doesn't even ask for password, just says unable to join. Network is fine, or I wouldn't be able to leave this question! Thanks for any help...

Powerbook G4 Airport Won't connect to my Wifi

I have a Powerbook G4 that won't connect ot my wifi.
My home network consists of a CIsco Vallet router broadcasting in Mixed B/G/N mode.
SSID is broadcasting
Channel is Auto
Channel Width is Auto
WPA/WPA2 Personal Encryption
The Powerbook will detect the wifi network, prompt for the password attempt to connect then it tells me "Connection timed out"
Any ideas?

I don't know if you tried it but sometimes restarting router might help. Does your laptop connect to anyother wireless ? You should try other places.
Try checking software updates , make sure you have the latest Airport update.
Some routers might not work properly with older Macs. For example , I have a 2011 router , g3 and g4 machines can't connect to it .
Good luck
