Iphone doesn't support 802.11 N wireless network. check if your router is set at 802.11n. dumb as it sounds, but iphone can only support 802.11g

Try unplugging your modem and plugging it back in then restart your phone.

Hi


Make sure you know the password if your wifi is secured.Second check the wireless mac filter on the routers page maybe mac filter is set to enable thats why you cant connect your iphone to your wifi

On a Belkin N1 Wireless Router, you add the mac address of the iphone to your list of allowed mac addresses. Simple. You can find the mac address of the iphone under general settings. Worked for me

I had the same issue and this fixed it:

I found a solution from a friend: You disable the password and let the iphone connect to the router. Then you put the password back and now it will accept the password.

I tried what Tiskilwa suggested and it still doesn't work for me. When I have password activiated I can't connect using my iphone. It tells me password incorrect even though I'm putting in the exact password. When I disable the password I then can get access though.

Ok I figured it out

If you keep getting "incorrect password" using your Iphone when trying to connect to a Linksys (WRT54G) Router.

Try typing in the WEP "key 1" numbers (not the actual password or passphrase)

They are located in the "wireless security" settings.

1. Go to 192.168.1.1

2. Enter "admin" for both username and password (actual one NOT "key 1" numbers)

3. Go to Wireless/Wireless Security and they should be right there.

4. If Default Transmit Key "1" is marked use "key 1" numbers, if "2" is marked use "key 2" numbers, etc.

Loboblast's advice worked!

For WRT120N Linksys users, you should grab the network security key stored in the text document on your desktop after configuration and use that as your password for connecting to your home network.

Thanks!
