Pls. advise.
I struggled with this problem- the iphone was showing a strong wi-fi signal, but 'Can't connect to server' message.
I have solved this by using Internet Explorer to enter my Netgear Router security settings and disable WEP (put MAC address into IE). The Iphone now logs on to wi-fi no problem.

You can also enter the iphones name and MAC address onto the authorised list and press APPLY. this will put it into the routers list of devices.

Iphone MAC address and details are obtained by going to SETTINGS-GENERAL- ABOUT. The iphone name is a derivative of the MAC address!
