Wi-Fi not working with Belkin router

gcvt · 07-04-2007, 05:22 PM

When I'm at home using my Airport Express, my wifi works flawlessly.

However, when I'm at my girlfriend's house, it doesn't work at all. She's using a Belkin router and it works fine with her MacBook and my MacBook Pro.

My iPhone says it's connected to her network, gives a full signal on the wifi icon, etc. but when I try to load a webpage, it tries and tries and then says "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.".

Very frustrated! Any ideas?

I can post the details from the wifi menu in Settings if needed.

if you have to set up a password to use the router, be sure to turn OFF the IPHONE option to AUTO-CAPITALIZE

Ah, it works now. Had to get the DNS info here (http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/e...rotocols/1989/) and enter that manually.

I had similar problems but spend 3 hours of quality time with Apple tech support last Sunday solving my problem. First, reset your router by unplugging it for several minutes. Then reboot your router. Reset your network settings on the iphone. You probably need to reset your iphone wifi setting to Wep +Hex not Wep. Then you should be prompted for any encryption number if you have it. It's as simple as that but I had the good folks at Apple scratching their heads. You may need to repeat this process if you move from one hotspot or wireless setting to another. Oh well....

Despite the length of time , the Apple people were great! Best.

I had similar issues with a dlink router but I just upgraded the firmware and it worked like a charm. My wireless router was about 2.5 years old. It's worth looking for new firmware if you're having problems.

My boyfriend figured it out...just need to Login to Belkin web site and allow the Iphone to access...I guess I had some security set up that wouldn't allow the Iphone to access the router. Now all is well. I can get more detailed instruction if anyone needs it. I'm not too techy but I'm sure my boyf can type out the details if I ask, post here if you want them.
