Re: IPhone doesn't connect with wifi automatically - password not recoginized HELP!!!

Had this problem for a couple of days now, and finally cracked it!

Bear with me through explanation, as I'm sure it'll solve your problem. With my router, I have WEP protection. The passkey (i.e. 7A533AA1C7) is generated by me inputting some text (in this case 'nickiscool') and the router converting it to hex or something. I then have four options of codes similar to the above (let's call them 1,2,3 & 4). I select one of these, apply the settings, and thats the passkey set.

Then, I go to my wireless settings on my PC, try to connect to the wifi and input the passkey. Crucially, beneath the passkey entry bit is a 'Key Index', this has to be set to the correct number (1,2,3 or 4) for the connection to work.

For example, I have chosen passkey 2, so I must set my key index is set to 2. Everything works and I'm all happy. That is until I try to find the wifi on my new iphone...

It finds the network, but every time I input the correct passkey, it says it's incorrect. Frustrating! But, what it seems to me is that the iphone's 'Key Index' is permanently set to 1. So, to fix...

- Go into your router settings, generate passkeys and pick option 1.
- Go into your wireless settings, input the new passkey and set 'Key Index' to 1 so your wireless keeps working.
- Attempt to connect with your iphone, use new passkey.
- Bet it works!

Best of luck with it. Tricky and annoying problem, but this seems to have fixed it for me, and I tested it a couple of times to make sure the theory is correct.

Cheers

Following up on my post I came across http://www.jangro.com/a/2007/07/15/is-yo...

I have a similar problem. For me I am using WEP so I turn this on under the iPhone security settings and then enter the password. Unfortunately it always says that the password is incorrect.

My plan is to temporarily disable WEP at home to see if the iPhone will connect with no security enabled. I haven't got around to trying this yet but perhaps it is something you could try also.

This would not be a real solution of course as I wouldn't want my home WIFI to be open but at least it would tell me if it is a moe fundamental issue or not that the password verification.

Also take a look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?...

I don't know if this is a factor or not but might be worth a go if the other solutions don't work

Just make sure the router is not set to wireless n. The iPhone will not work with wireless n only with wireless b/g. Try resetting your router to work with b and g only or with g only.
