Connecting iPhone to wifi

[Reschke]

Getback I have a solution for you...get an Atrix2 instead. I haven't had any problems with wifi since going to either the Atrix (my sons phone) or my Atrix2.

plenty of solutions here, despite not knowing what the problem is ...


getback do you have any other wifi devices using your router at the moment?

No, wish I did so I could test it.

can you see your wifi network name listed on the phone? and does it have a padlock symbol next to it?

And is wifi + suggest networks enabled in iPhone settings? And is the wifi discoverable i.e. not hidden?

Yes and yes!

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Yes and yes!

Did you reset your wifi password in the router menu? And verify the same password when iPhone asks for it?

^ good! the next step is to change your wifi password on the router, then enter the new password on your phone

I used the pw from the router. So should I change that and the SSID?

[RTHolmes]

the router itself has a pw so you can access its settings via the webpage.

the wifi will have a separate pw, this is what you want to change. then try to join with your phone using the new wifi pw.

Where do I find the Wifi password?

I changed the system security to disable and was able to get wifi. However that is WEP-open. That can't be good.

what model router is it exactly?

edit: and do you have the manual?

edit2: just seen a 2wire manual, the default wifi password is an 8-digit number in brackets on the bottom of the router (eg. [12345678]), enter it without the brackets

That doesn't work. I've tried that before. I changed the PW but that didn't work. Only thing that works is the WEP-Open which is bad security.

I am no specialist in Apple products, but after reading the 2wire manual I found an interesting thing on page 9. It tells how to configure the wireless in Apple AirPort and the trick is to enter "$" followed by the ten digit encryption key. Could that be an Apple standard, including iPhones? Just a wild guess, but doesn't hurt trying.

I'll give that a shot.
