Iphone doesn't show my network!

A couple things to check:

Is your router a/g compatible (as opposed to just n). If not, your it needs to be set that way or your iPhone won't work with it.

Is your router broadcasting its name? If not, you should still be able to connect by selecting "other..." and entering its name.

Does your laptop CURRENTLY work? I have had incidents where joining a network with my iPhone seems to kick the wireless off, at least for a time. Rebooting the router might help.

Hope that helps you!

What's your D-Link model number? Let's look it up on the web.

I've been having a similar problem with my iPhone. Mine will show that my network exists, it just can't connect to it. I have a D-Link DI-624 router with Verizon Fios internet. It will show my network on my iPhone, with the full airport-style icon, but when I select Safari on my phone it'll automatically switch back to the Edge network. I've used it at an Apple Store using their wireless network, so I know that the wireless card in the phone is good, I just don't know how to make it pick up my network. Could it possibly be an incompatibility between the AT&T phone and the Verizon internet?

I have been having a similar issue. My iPhone shows that I am connected to my network but does not show the wifi symbol and continues to access Edge instead of using the network. My router is a NetGear and my internet access is cable, I have look at the FAQs and the User manual but there is no trouble shooting for wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

previous discussion groups have said that iPhone doesn't always recognize the correct DNS number......you have to find your ISP's DNS number and enter it manually.....I have the same problem on Verizon network and this did not work.....

Sorry - this got lost in my list of posts.

It's not what I thought it might be (that your router was a different type of wireless than your iPhone).

Here's a few things that might help -
How to put in a password HEX key:

and here's a fix someone's been posting a lot on these boards that seems to help people:

You may have an incorrect password. iPhone does not show password errors, it will look like you are connected via wi-fi(fan icon displays) but once you try to surf the web it will switch over to edge.
This fix has worked for a lot of people.
1.) unplug router for AT LEAST 10 minutes
2.) reset network settings on iPhone [go to SETTINGS, then to GENERAL, then to NETWORK... then hit RESET NETWORK SETTINGS]
3.) power down iPhone [hold sleep/wake button 8 secs, then slide slider to off]
4.) turn on router [wait about 5 minutes for it to fully cycle up]
5.) Go to settings - WiFi - choose your network - when the password screen comes up, switch to Hex/ AscII, then enter password [no $] press enter. (note - may be caps sensitive)

Hope one of those helps!
