Mango Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have searched far and wide for a solution to this (which many people are having trouble if you google it) but I still can't get the damn wifi to work and I hope someone can help me. I have: iPhone 3Gs IOS 4.1 (Not jailbroken) WPA security Problem: When connecting to my wifi, it prompts for a password, I type it in and immediatly gives me 'Incorrect Password'. However, my iPod touch which has version 3.1.3 works fine. As well as my laptop. What I have tried: Adding static IP address. Reset Network Settings on iphone. Changing router security from WPA to WEP. Reseting router. Adding a $ to the start of the password. Choosing 'Other...' in wi-fi networks screen and typing my SSiD manually and selecting WPA. Hitting it. Hard Reset on the phone. Converting my passphrase to HEX. Still nothing works... Anyone else got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 how much signal is the iphone receiving, i've had cases were the iphone will not connect at all as there is not enough signal to communicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan~ Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Have you made sure that the first character doesn't automatically change to uppercase? I know the username it makes the first case uppercase. I'd like to think the password doesn't go to uppercase for the first letter too :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 The signal strength is 100% and i made sure it is not uppercase. (I even tried to uppercase it on purpose just to test) :p I never had a problem before upgrading to 4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yes. I created a brand new password when i reconfigured both my router and access point from scratch with WPA. (password does not work from my AP nor directly next to the router - both set up correctly with channel 6 and 11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Just to add another thing. I've tried to connect to my workplace wifi which has a proxy + certificicate authentication etc... And it excpets my username and password fine. It connects to it, and i can see the wifi icon on top of my screen. However when i try go to safari and browse something, or go to app store, it basically says that it can't connect. But my workmates have no issues. Its driving me mad now....

Mango Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 All works now. Had to completly restore phone through itunes (without backup just in case there were remnants of any parasites within my settings and contacts etc...) So all working.
