Mr Mojo Rising Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi all  Purchased a new laptop last week. Connected to the internet no problem ... but, now my iPhone or Kindle wont connect to the Wi-Fi I have tried to re set them both and enter the network security key, but it just says "Unable to Join Network" any ideas?  Thank you in advance.

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted December 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is there any sort of setting on the router that limits the number of IPs allocated/MAC addresses of individual devices? I used to have that set up at my old place, as my flatmates were dumb and couldn't handle the idea of a key (they would either forget it, or think that I was going to use it to lock them out of the system - see? weed paranoia), so I instead restricted access to certain MAC addresses. You could, however, also make it so that only a set number of devices could access, maybe yours is set to limit that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SiMania Posted December 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Have you restarted the router? It sounds like the DHCP service on the router might have stopped working. A restart of the router should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Screen Up Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Sorry to derail this thread but I thought it better than creating a new one as it is kind of to do with iPhones. Â My girlfriend's trying to find the cheapest iPhone 4 8GB (not 4S) (handset only). Â The cheapest we have found is from Three at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mojo Rising Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Managed to get it sorted, I turned the router off for 20 mins or so and now everything is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
