Hey guys I just got a black 16 gig iphone and when I get home and try to join my WiFi connection the phone says "Unable to join Network 'Blah Blah'" Can someone give some suggestions on what to do for this. I will try and reset my router, but I wanna see if there are any other suggestions.
Got a tip for us?

no, i dont have passwords on itAre you using WPK-PSK for the authentication? It's case sensitive - took me a while to work that out first time around
Yes I did and the WiFi worked fine on it and it is currently allowing me to make this post.
No I don't have one and have never needed to press a button on my router to connect to my wireless network
when i set mine up yesterday, it didnt find my network for a while. Although it seemed to find every network around the area. But the second time i tried it, it found and logged on no problem.
Having the same problem here. I have an old iphone and upgraded to 2.0 and my ability to connect to my wifi has been very sporadic.
Last night I was able to get it to connect by manually typing in my wifi information/password via "other network." However, this morning, not even that will work. I constantly get the "Unable to Join Network *****" error message.
I can't imagine it can be anything other than the 2.0 upgrade because I never had this problem before.

Yeah, I just got the new iPhone 3G yesterday and I'm having a similar problem. I've setup the WiFi access to connect to my WPA Linksys wireless router at home. It will connect and then sporadically lose it's connection even though I'm within a few feet of it.
Linksys
I also had problems with my linksys router and iphone 3g up until about 2 minutes ago. I updated the router's firmware and then enabled wpa and wpa2 under security settings and the phone is finally working on my home network!
Hope that helps.

I'm still having the same problem. I didn't need to update the firmware as it already had the latest version. WPA/WPA2 is definitely enabled.
When you guys setup your WiFi connection, are you specifying WPA or WPA2 on your iPhone?
My SSID isn't set to broadcast, but that shouldn't matter.

I'm having the same trouble here at home. There are 2 new 3G iphones here. One logs in maybe 1 try in 3 and the other logs in maybe 1 try in 20.
At home I use WPA. A laptop and a desktop computer upstairs connect to my wifi with no problem.
There doesn't seem to be any problem using the iphones with unencrypted wifi in the mall.
Yesterday I went into Apple and they set up a WPA wifi for me and both iphones logged in just fine.
Any ideas for trouble shooting will be appreciated.

I'm also having the same problem, my 3g iPhone connects fine, but my brother's 2g iPhone wouldn't connect to wifi after 2.0 update. Also if I call Apple would I get a coffin to send the iPhone in or would I have to bring it to a retail store to get it fixed? The closest store is about 1-1/2hr away
Weird. I think it definitely has something to do with updating the router. If you have an archaic Linksys you may have to update....I have a brand new Linksys 802.11n UltraRange Plus blah blah router and it works just fine with BOTH my original iPhone and my iPhone 3G...
