ios7 can't connect to wifi ad-hoc network

hi

me too i have same thing on my iphone 4 ios 7

pls any one help for that

thank you

I've been having the same problem. I had created an ad-hoc network on my work iMac so that I could use my iPad 2 as a second monitor via Air Display, but since installing iOS 7 on the iPad I haven't been able to make a connection. The iPad keeps saying that my password for the ad-hoc network is incorrect, even if I set the network up without one.

I have the same problem with iOS 7 and 7.02 on both iPhone 4S and iPad 3, moreover connecting through the cellular data is becoming also very annoying. Everything was working flawlessly with iOS 6.

I tried everything I can think of deleting network, soft/hard restart and restoring nothing worked. On the other hand my notebook connects to the same wifi easily, so it's not the wifi problem it's the iOS 7.

Apple please help

Same problem here. In WiFi settings, the ad hoc network shows up in "Devices." In ios 6 it appeard in "Choose a network." When I click on the network name to select it, a warning pops up saying: "NetworkName is Not Connected to the Internet. Are you sure you want to use this network?" and it gives me the options of Cancel, and Join Anyways.

My Macbook Pro can join the network, but the network shows up in Devices as well oddly. Hopefully joining ad hoc networks will keep working when Mavericks comes out!!!

For what it's worth, I contacted the support team at Avatron (the developer of Air Display) and asked whether they had any workarounds. Here's what they came up with:

Thanks for contacting us at Avatron support about the issues that you've been seeing when connecting via an ad hoc network. I was unaware of this problem but after doing some testing this morning it seems to happen with one of our iOS 7 iPad 2s as well.

While this definitely seems like something that Apple needs to address, I was able to get Air Display working over the ad-hoc network if I disabled internet sharing from the Mac System Preferences > Sharing pane. Obviously the drawback of this is that the iPad will no longer be connected to the internet when you are using Air Display in this manner.

Please let me know if this is able to serve as a temporary workaround while Apple investigates the problem.

Clearly this is not a full fix as I can't access the internet when connected to my ad-hoc network, but at least I got Air Display running.

Their reply also suggests that this isn't a blanket issue covering all devices running iOS7, as only "one of [their] iOS 7 iPad 2s" was having the same problem.

+1 on this. Drivimg me mad!!!

Having the same type of issue.....ad hoc network for iPad to print to wireless printer (no home network). Worked flawlessly in iOS 6, but since upgrade, I can connect, I can web to the printer, will system will not 'find' any airprinters. I've reset the network on the iPad, reset the configuration on the printer, upgraded to 7.0.3....still no luck. If there isn't a fix, is there a way to go back to 6?

I'm not sure that they did address it in that build. I looked at the release notes and could not find anything relating to this issue, unless I am missing something?

What is interesting in all this is that it does seem to depend on what application you are using.

e.g.

I connect using Lemur and can make an ad hoc connection without any issues at all. All I do is create the network, connect the ipad to it and start lemur - everything works perfectly.

However if I wanted to connect an ad hoc connection to the Arturia iMini - fails immediately. Same with apps such as Touchable.

Has anyone here tried rebooting both the computer and/or phone?

I certainly have many times over many days.

BTW, the Avatron semi-workaround that I posted last month stopped working. 😟

Re-booting isn't the issue here, I'm afraid.

I am sure that this linked to the IOS7 upgrade as it worked fine before, then didn't after.

Personally, I shut down every day and have re-built the iPad since the issue first manifested itself to no avail.

I can also create one using my iPhone which indicates that it's iPad specific as well

"Hello IT.....have you tried turning it off and on again". Yep done that. As Disgraceland states, that's not the issue....was working fine for over a year without any hiccup before the iOS 7 upgrade.....still have an iPhone on 6 and that works, so was assuming just a 7 issue, not iPad specific....
