I tried to join an open wireless network in a cafe using my 3GS, and I got the message 'Unable to join network' and the SSID of the network. At the time I just though it was a problem with the cafe's network and didn't think about it again.
Today we replaced my wife's iPhone 4S with a new one, (The old iPhone, although recently purchased, had battery issues and could not hold a charge). We returned home and the new iPhone cannot connect to our WiFi network. We would select the network, and the system would not even ask for a password, but immediately responded with "Unable to join network "[name of network]". The new iPhone was able to connect to the WiFi in the Apple Store.
Per the Troubleshooting FAQ on this, I reset the network settings. We now are taken to the Password screen (which was unavailable to us before the reset), yet the the system seemingly does not take it, since we also get the "Unable to join network "[name of network]" message. Our MacBooks and another iPhone can successfully join the network and access the Internet.
I have an AirPort Extreme running the latest software. I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, my girlfriend's iPhone 4. The only devices that will connect to the network are our MacBook Pros and iPads, (1 and 2). I have reset the airport to default settings, I've restored my iPhone, I've even disabled the password. I am still unable to join my open airport extreme wifi network.
We have 2 iMacs, an iPad, iPhone, and other wifi devices such as a Nook. I have AirPort Express and the green light is on, it is connected to the Linksys router that is connected to my cable modem (RCN). I have attempted a few times to reset the wireless and the airport express so that our wifi devices will work, but after about a week or two, it just stops working. I get timeout errors, and my iPhone and iPad just says "Unable to join the network"; the iMac just keeps asking me to enter a WPA password, I'm entering the correct password, because it worked for a couple of weeks. At this point I have both iMacs hooked up via ethernet.I was wondering if I need a new router, should use the AirPort (purchased in 2006) and Linksys at the same time? The cable modem only has one (1) port for ethernet cable.
I updated yesterday to ios 5.1 and now I am unable to join my home network. I have reset network connections, restarted, entered correct name and passwords and get the message "unable to join ____". i didn't have this problem until the update.
We have two iPhones at home that, all of a sudden, cannot connect to the home wifi network. I rebooted the cable modem and was then able to see and connect to the network with both iPhones and an iPad, but, a few minutes later, was unable to join the network. I have an iMac and a Thinkpad laptop that both connect fine and stay connected. I've tried rebooting the iPhones and forgetting the network, but the problem keeps coming back. I called Comcast to suggest they "change the channel" on their wireless gateway, but they couldn't do it.
My Iphone 5 gives me "Unable to join the network" for my home wifi.. i can connect to any other wifi except my own even after i took off the password from my router
I cannot connect my 5c to my wifi. The device selects the correct network but it is unable to join. My iPad connects without difficulty but not my phone.
I have an AirPort extreme and two AirPort expresses. I have never had any issues. Now, my iPhone 4 and 4s will not connect to wifi. However, my PC and iPad will connect without any issue. I have tried resetting the network, routers, and cable modem. I have also tried resetting the iPhone network settings as indicated in the discussions. I've looked at the airport Utility and and only strange item I notice is that the AirPort Express is broadcasting on the 5GHZ channel, which I understand the iPhones only work at 4GHZ. I'm out of options.
I have an iPhone 3g iOS 4.2.1 with baseband 6.15.00.
If i try to connect to any network, every time i try i get this error: "Unable to join network: "network name"".
I have tried all versions of iOS all firmwares for my router and nothing good. So it find the WiFi networks, but when i try to connect i get the error. I have tried different routers but nothing.
provide the ability to create a trigger based upon the presence of a secure network SSID (i.e. not one you are connected connected to )? I need to trigger an action when a secure network, for which I do not have the password, is detected.
If I unmask my WiFi network, I can connect to it with my Droid Razr.
If I turn off broadcasting, I know its still there - I have laptops and an iPhone that still find it an can connect to it. But my new RAZR doesn't seem to know how to locate/connect to it .
What settings do I need to change to get this to work.
I prefer to hide my wireless SSID but when I do this my android devices don't see the network. Even if I am already connected with my Xoom then switch to hidden SSID mode the Xoom disconnects. Same for my HTC Thunderbolt. My network is shown in the list of remembered networks as out of range. When in hidden mode. This does not affect my laptops.
They stay connected if I switch to hidden mode and they have a setting to connect to hidden networks that have previously been configured. I cannot find a setting for hidden network support on either android device. Hiding the SSID is not a new concept. Is this not supported in the android network stack? I have a strong random PW on my wifi so I am not terribly worried about it but I would be nice to have the option.
My 5C will not connect to my wi-fi network (home). My wife has the same type of phone and hers' works fine. Had the same problem when I has an iPhone 4. iCloud
I have a new iPhone 4 and i am having difficulty joining my wifi at home, at work it connects straight away but at home it won't recognize the airport connection and states could not access cellular data network. I have tried all the usual resetting network connections etc?
i changed my modem router yesterday, did all the settings. all my devises can join my wi-fi but my iphone 5s cant. it recognizes the network, tries to join it, but cant join it.
Turned my iphone on and off two times, Turned my router on and off several times, reset my network setting on the iphone, changed the channel on the router twice, pressed "forget this network" and tried to connect manually.
I have just bought an Atrix 4g european version. A great phone, but is there a bug in the operating system ? (2.3.4 was preinstalled) When I try to connect to my home network via wifi and the router is not broadcasting the SSID, the phone cannot connect. When I change the router so the SSID is being broadcast, the phone can connect and has an "excellent" connection. My other mobile phone (HTC diamond 2) and laptop can both connect to the router when it is not broadcasting the SSID, so the router is okay.
about a week ago, my iphone4s stopped picking up 3g networks. i have called the carrier, i was told coverage is fine in the area. my wi-fi works, calls are fine, everything works except the 3g.

I have my home network set to "disable SSID Broadcast" which make my network name invisible when a device including my phone scans for wi-fi's; when I enable SSID Broadcast my phone can see the network name and it can connect to it when I input the network password...no problem so far, works perfectly! but when I disable again the SSID Broadcast then the phone gets disconnected. I try to connect to the network with SSID Broadcast disabled (the phone shows a wi-fi location with no name but stored which I assume it's mine) I type the SSID name and password but it won't connect again until the SSID Broadcast is enabled.
For security purposes I like to keep the SSID Broadcast disabled but then I can't connect my phone to the network. I have 2 desktops, 1 laptop, a Xbox and a Wii all connected wirelessly; I don't know why is not working with my phone.
