[QUOTE="Reavie818, post: 1481222, member: 287597"] Sorry for rezzing, but this thread is one of the top results when googling about iPhones and an inability to access a network they used to be able to use. I'm using a Belkin.2b8 router. My router is set up with my iPhone, printer, PC, and a netbook. Only iPhone has a problem with the router, but I was able to fix the issue and connect. While I didn't prove it, I assumed that my PC and iPhone were trying to share the same addresses so the phone was getting kicked out of the router. To fix this: 1) Unplug all ethernet wires from router (In my case, it was just my PC) 2) Unplug router from power source for 15 seconds.. Make sure the network DOES NOT show up in the wifi settings of iPhone before you power it back on. 3) Power on the router 4) Connect iPhone to network 5) Reconnect all ethernet wires, and additional WIFI devices. Moral of the story is to allow the iPhone to be the only connection to the router, THEN add everything else. After about two weeks following this fix, the same issue arose so this is only a patch; I'm assuming something is wrong with the iPhone wifi software but the method above worked flawlessly two times for me. EDIT: I guess it would be important to mention that my router does not have a password or any security. [/QUOTE]
