iPhone Wi-Fi issues...

[Coby.]

Woke up this morning to my iPhone refusing to connect the home hub that's it's been connected to for months, iPad is using it fine as are 2 other laptops in the house but it just keeps saying "Unable to join the network"

I've tried forgetting it and re-entering the password with no luck.

Any ideas?

Reboot the router, sometimes they decide to not let devices connect.

Ok I'll give it a restart and see... Was fine at 04:30 but woke up and it's not playing ball.

My routers have always done it over the years. They can be fine for months and then decide to play up for a few days.

Sometimes providers update router firmware over the line too. So it could be that.

Seems to have sorted it for now...cheers

Belkin?

No was just a BT Home Hub.... Hit restart and all is well

I get this all the time on my Virgin Media. PITA!

Most likely a DHCP server issue. Try using a static IP for the devices which can't connect.

I'm a technology r****d..... How would I do this as it keeps locking out my iPhone, iPad and now he laptop randomly throughout the day.

I have no idea if it'll solve your problem, but it will certainly rule out the DHCP server in your router. Worked for me when I had similar issues some time ago.

Cheers.... HOWEVER, Where do I find all the codes he entered from? Honestly I'm a complete spack with tech

 

[Munson]

He kinda does explain it all. For your router IP, write down what's already in the field for the DCHP mode. For the iPhone's IP, just use the same number as he did.

Oh ok.... Ta!
