Iphone Will Not Remember Wifi password

non solved mine since i pressed (forget this network)

Adding the network manually solved this for me. Thanks.

Today i install a new dsl modem and my iphone and ipad won't remember the new password. The work around from Tractorman999 worked in my case. Same issue solve in my daughters iphone 4. Thank you !

I was having the same problem with my ipod touch 4g not remembering my network password. Your solution of manually entering my network name, security, and password worked. thanks.

This should be your first stop for getting your IOS device to remember a network if you are having troubles.

It is quick, easy, does the job and requires no further entering of stuff.

(from PeeDib's 3/9/12 post)

"But I found a workaround by adding the network manually

Not by choosing from the network that shows up in the list.

Within WIFI setting

Choose a Network... > Click Other... > Add your wifi Name manually

(if there is security wpa,wpa2 according to your network, also password)"

Thank You, Thank You PeeDib!!!

This was a real timesaver. Unfortunately I already had about 16 hours and two replacement phones into the process of not solving this with wasted time messing with; router settings, resets of all kinds on the phone, trouble with 2 different IOS versions (5 & 6), and trips to the Fed Ex drop place. The notes app stayed permenantly open with network password handy so I could cut & paste it everytime the phone would go out & back in the network range (without being recognized or remembered), That was loads of fun. The Apple techs I worked with were all very helpful but unfortunatley not armed with this fix. I've shared it with a really nice senior tech who is spreading the word to his Fellow & Damsel techs.

TRY THIS FIRST!

Here it is again (from a macrumors site with slightly different wording:

peace all...

so far, this is working for me... have not tried one of my other locations that I use wi-fi .. like starbucks :-)

Thank you for the wonderful fix, you were right my phone was the first one. Nobody else had this problem.

So, just how do you do that? I see so many post about people doing something to the router, but no details for those that have no experience with routers.

What Device have you got? Have you tried updating?

Thank you thank you thank you! This worked for me!

Thank you AGenius - your suggestion to change the routers SSID did the trick.

The problem with giving detailed instructions on changing the SSID on the router is that there are so many different types available.

Just look in the instructions of your router for details on the SSID, this is the basically the WiFi network name ,

Thank you! This solution works perfectly on my iPhone 5 and I didn't find it in any web page or Apple blog.

I had the same problem after a router full reset. The security setting had changed to WEP rather than WPA2. Changing it back to WPA2 fixed the problem.

I have been frustrated for days with the same issue. To keep it short and simple, the "fix" for me was calling my router supplier. They were able to go in to the router remotely and adjust the settings to allow access to Apple. My router supplier stated that Apple was unique and sometimes the router has to be adjusted to meet Apple's criteria, even when other Apple products are working properly from the same router. I hope this helps others.
