Iphone 4s IOS6 WAP Connectivity Issue : Not Accepting Password Key (Australia, Sydney)
Hi Everyone,
I posted a similiar topic, but lost my thread for it.
I have numerous Iphone 4S's at my work and a few of them were upgraded to IO6. I work in IT so i thought i'd give it a test and couple of staff also upgraded to IOS6.
I have a Netgear WG102
Firmware: 5.03 is the latest
WEP Security
Network Authentication: OPEN
Broadcast SSID: Yes
Data Encryption 64bits WEP
Wireless Client Security Separation Disabled
Operating Mode: Auto - 8020.11g/802.11b
Data Rate Best
Output Power full
Country Australai
IP Address, Subnet, gateway and DNS addreses applied acdordingly
The FEW who have upgraded to IOS 6 are unable to connect to my WAP including myself.
I have tried Backup/Restore Iphone 4s
RESET Network Settings
Selected FORGET this network and attempted to reconnect, still doesnt accept the key
Tried to Manually select the WAP and manually apply the config details as opposed to automatically accepting details when it accepts the key
I have recreated the same ABOVE config profile on the WAP device, just a different key and no success.
i have also taken the Iphone4s of mine to the Australian, CBD, George St Apple store where they wiped the phone. We got the phone back to factory, connected it to "THEIR" WiFi. The answer i got from the Manager at the time was "If it works here, there's no fault with the phone"
I still have the majority of my staff using IOS5 which im not permitting them up upgrade for the above reason
I was suspecting FIRMWARE versions being different upon upgrading to IOS6
I found Modem Firmware: 04.12.02 or higher seemed to have no problems connecting to my WAP, if it was lower then the phones werent connectning.
Im reading on other posts people are suspecting DNS, Wireless Config setup.
I have created a SSID with NONE security to connect and still says Unable to Join the network
Tried WPA-PSK
Tried WPA2-PSK : AES Encryption
Tried WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK with TKIP + AES Encryption
Added MAC Address of my Iphone to be TRUSTED
I enabled Super-G Mode for proprietary support of 820.11g
I can confirm the two Iphone 4S's i have problems with at the moment were "Problem FREE"
At this point the only thing i havent done it downgraded Firmware of the device
