Why won't my personal Wi-Fi work on my iphone?

I just purchased a router and set up my own Wi-Fi with a password and everything and it works fine on my computer. Now I'm trying to use it on my phone as well and every time I sign into my name it says my password is wrong. I've done it over and over and I know my password is correct because that's how I logged onto it on my computer. What else can the problem be? And What can I do to fix it?

Make sure you are using the Wi-Fi password/passphrase. You will setup the router and access the router through an IP where you enter a username and password (usually setup as "admin" initially). Then there are actual Wi-Fi setting to setup a wireless network. These settings will set your encryption type among other things - wpa2-psk for instance and whether or not the Sysid is broadcasted.

Just make sure you are using the right password and your router is setup to accept Wi-Fi connections. Also insure you are not using a MAC filter, because if you are you will need to add your iPhone's MAC address to the MAC filter table.

If all else fails, get something else that can connect thorugh Wi-Fi (a friends phone or laptop) and see if that works. Then you can determine if it's your phone or if it's the router.

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why don't American parents teach their kids the values of hard work and personal responsibility anymore? Instead it's "Here's a cookie, now shut up" or "Oh honey you don't have to participate in any activities if you don't want to, we'll just put you on Prozac and let you watch Netflix all day, oh and here's a new iPhone."
  • Why do I get so personal on the internet? Seriously, I be myself more on the internet than I do in person. I talk about personal issues that I wouldn't to tell my closet friend or my family. I'm so afraid to talk about personal issues with friends and family but online, I'm an open book. Why is this? Don't worry, I don't tell my actual name, address or anything like that before anything.
