I have a Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Generation) suppling my WiFI for my home.

I have tried the following:

Reboot my iPhone (turn it off and on)
Reset Network Settings on iPhone
Setting security to nothing on Time Capsule
Setting Radio mode to: 802.11a/n - 802.11/b/g
Setting "Use wide channels"
My iPhone 3GS won't connect either
My iPad won't connect using 2.5 GHz setting (connects fine on 5 GHz)
I got and AirPort Express to extand my network but the iPhone won't connect to it either

Short of calling Apple I am out of ideas.

Anyone have any?

Thanks 😟

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Ok,

So the only thing I could get to work was...

Add an Airport Express and have it create it's own network. I can only get WEP security to work with the iPhone4.

I changed my DHCP scope on my main router to leave room for a static IP for the new Express.

In summery what I now have is:

Time Capsule running 802.11n 2.4 and 5 Ghz (Static IP)

AppleTV

MacBook Pro

iPad (Gen 1)

AirPort Express running 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatable) 2.4 Ghz (Static IP)

iPhone4

I will see if my iPhone 3GS connects when it gets home tonught.

I did try to extend my network with the AirPort Express but it would only support the 5 Ghz network.

Thanks you for the quick reply randers4 but I have been reading the forums most of the day and tried all kinds of things aready.
