iPhone wont connect to Time Capsule-WiFi

Hi.

I have an Time Capsula working as the router. The Macs, PCs, Printer and iPads connects fine. It is the iPhone the wont connect. It has been like this for a while, but I thought it was going to fix itself.

It is not the iPhone that is the problem. It is like this for all the iPhones that comes into the house.

Any ideas?

The password type is WPA2 Personal.

The following pictures are of the setup. It's in norwegian, but it's just to give you an idea.

I have posted this question on the iPhone forum aswell, but randers4 (he was very helpful) told me it might work here.

For whatever reason.. the iphone does not handle the automatic wireless settings.

Change the Radio mode to a/n - b/g manual..

Change the 2.4ghz channel from automatic to manual.

Lock it at 1, 6, 11 or 13 (12, 13 should be fine in Europe, but sometimes clients have issues.. since all the drivers tend to be US software based). But if it works you can test it.

Those are the only 3 channels that do not overlap so it is pointless to use the inbetween ones.

That usually solves the problem.

If not, also change the wireless name, to short pure alphanumeric no spaces.

TC name should also follow that.
