3G iPhone WiFi: Cannot connect problem

I do experience the same kind of problem. I do see my home Router but it does not work. No idea what I can try.

same problem here...

I am experiencing the same problem with 3G iphone. I have tried 10+ time to enter the WEP key and the Iphone will not accept it.
Anyone any ideas?

Is it possible there is some incompatibility with certain routers? To look for patterns, perhaps it would help for everyone to mention which router they are using. My iPhone wi-fi is working, however, I had a similar issue with my Wii not connecting to a particular router a few weeks ago.

i have the same problem with my iPhone 3G and i use an airport for my wlan at home. i am very confused.........

Same problem here. Went back to the Apple Store and of course it had no problem hooking up there. Came back home and tried my old iPhone... worked perfect. Tried to manually enter the DNS, etc, but noticed that I could not put in a space and the DNS is called Bills, LAN. Wondering now if that might have something to do with it. No matter what it is, its a BIG problem and clearly a problem with the new phone or 2.0.

Interesting problem... I have the iPhone 3G and it DOES seem to connect to my home wifi using a Linksys router but once connected I can't seem to surf safari or connect to email? I have even turned off WEP. I have to try a few hot spots to see if it's a Linksys problem or not. Ideas?

Ok, this is really STUPID but I finally got it to work WEP or no WEP after days of trying. All I did (suggested by a guy at the Apple store) was to turn on and off two times "Ask for networks" and snap, I'm on! What can it hurt to try it, worked for me..

That didn't work for me... 😟

But this did from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
In some cases you may need to reset the network settings for your device. To do this, choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Then I turned of all WPA on my router, connected - it got an IP!
So turned WPA back on reconnected and wireless is still working!

Be sure that your network station i set to be compatible with 801.11n, b and g... I wrote a mail to Apple. I have a Time Capsule and when I set it to 802.11n only, I have a lot of problem with the iPhone 3G.

Hope this will help you !

I'm having the same issue with my gnet modem. the phone finds the gnet but wont connect. I read through an Apple tech support article on the subject & tried all suggestions but nothing helped. I connected at work without any probs. Apple only offers one free call to tech support; I hope they put some resources on this one.

I like the idea of trying this but since I am new to all of this I wonder how much of a risk it is. Is there a possiblity of stuffing up my phone if I try this reset option?

Cheers

hello everyone!!! i had the same problem with my iphone 3g, it just wouldn't connect to my wi-fi network!

my problem has now been solved!! all i did was change the HTTP Proxy to automatic or manual for the network!!

you can do this by clicking on the blue arrow next to the networks name.

Hi there,

I have a question about resetting. Is it dangerous to do this and if I do it do I then need to re-enter settings or does this happen automatically?

My problem is this. On a Netgear WAP I'm getting "Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet."

At work I'm using a Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824 with WPA-PSK encryption. The iPhone wifi always connects successfully so I have access up to the WAP. The problem is I can't reach the intenet. I always get an error "Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet." and my apps also fail to reach the internet as well. I'm also not going through a proxy.


I'm able to connect to the WAP so I know the problem is on the back end of the router but I tried the following anyways

Tried all wireless settings n,g,b
Turned encryption off
Verified no mac filtering
Verified seeing iPhone connected and assigned ip address
Verified other wireless connections work and can reach the internet
Disabled Advanced 108Mbps Features

On the iPhone I tried the following
I did a reset on the network settings
Did a renew lease
Tried manual and auto HTTP Proxy options
Tried DHCP as well as setting up a static ip addres
Veried I have DNS entries
Changed DNS entries other other known name servers

At home I have a D-link and everything works great and I use WEP encryption on that.

So my question is. What is it about the iPhone that would make my Netgear block it's access to the internet? As I said before I have checked all settings and verified I'm not blocking any mac addresses and the DNS settings are good as all my other wireless devices work great.

Anybody have any suggestions I haven't already mentioned?
Is anybody having the same problem?
