ios9 wifi not fully working

After installing iOS9 I am unable to join my WPA2 Enterprise wifi network. At first it was just saying invalid password, now its saying it cannot even find the network(hidden SSID entered manualy).

Replies

To be a little bit more specific.

iPhone 6 Plus

iOS9 - setup as new device.

Reset of Network Settings had no effect.


Connecting to Visible WPA2 network works. I'm not sure if its just the Visibility of the SSID, or WPA2 Enterprise, or both.

I'm having the same issue with my Enterprise network. It tells me the password is wrong, or that it can't scan networks. Tried resetting network settings, rebooting etc. No luck.


Non-enterprise networks working fine.

Seeing this issue also on Enterprise wifi network.

  • iPhone6
  • fresh install of iOS9 beta.


Was able to connect to network with iOS 8.3.


I am able to see the network, enter username/password, and accept server certificate. But, I get the following notification:

"No Network Connection. The Wi-Fi network you selected is not providing an Internet connection. Change your settings or choose a different network."

Same here. Won't accept password. We are using Aruba.

This is clearly stated as a known issue in the Beta 2 Release Notes...

I have the same issue.


My device is an iPhone 6 16 GB space grey factory unlocked with iOS 9 public beta 2 (developer beta 4).


I can use my Wi-Fi connection at home just fine (personal WPA-2), but my phone will not connect to an enterprise network with WPA-2 encryption. The error I receive is that my username and/or password is incorrect. I know that's a lie; my password as entered works with other sites with the same account (it's a college network).


Resetting network settings does nothing to help my situation. I hope Apple fixes this in the next beta.

I have an issue where the SSID is not broadcast at work and additionally requires a proxy server... But I never even get to the proxy server, or the point where I enter it. At first I thought it was due to the "_" in the SSID name, but I have one on my network at home... the only two differeces are the "hidden network" and the proxy server. It did connect once, out of the blue. but that was short lived and has never done it agan.

I just installed public beta 3 and I have the same issue. I upgraded without doing a clean install, but it wouldn't connect to my work's WPA2 or unlocked network. I tried resetting the network settings, but that didn't fix the problem. On 8.4, wifi worked flawlessly so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Hopefully this can be fixed.

I have been doing some work in a location that uses Aruba and I am running beta 5 and I see it connect to the guest network without encryption and then drop and reconnect at random. Seemed to be fine since I went to the most recent beta. I have no issue with wifi anywhere else but here. Other devices can connect and use it without issue.

Any updates on this with the GMs of iOS9 / El Capitan. The university network "eduroam" isn't working neither in Zurich nor in Jena (Ger).

I updated my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s just last night, and connecting to my home WiFi is not a problem. At work though, where we use WPA2, I cannot connect. It says, as for many others, that the password is incorrect (but it is NOT).


Is this a bug? Will it be fixed? I truly hope so, or else I'm a bit screwed.

I don't believe this is an isolated incident.

I don't wish to repeat everything that everyone else has typed, so I'll briefly list the symptomology:


Updated iPhone 5 to ios 9. installation appears to have been successful, no errors reported.


When attaching to wifi (a pretty new Linksys wireless N router) WITH THE SSID HIDDEN, the device will not attach. WPA2 personal encyption being used, username and password verified, MAC ID filtering is utilized. ALL of these settings have been checked and are correct, and this is the same setup it's been for the last calendar year. Zero issues prior to the installation of ios 9.


Herein are the observed symptoms: When the SSID beacon is active/broadcasting, phone will attach normally. If the phone settings are reset/cleared, info can be placed back into the phone, and the phone will attach normally.


WHEN SSID IS ONCE AGAIN HIDDEN, the phone disconnects from the network, and nothing fixes it. Resetting and manually adding, auto connecting, nothing allows the phone to attach when the SSID beacon isn't broadcasting. If the beacon is turned back on, it's all golden again. This occurs on both my 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks.


This is a problem for those of us who wish to mask/hide the presence of our network, to mitigate brute force hacks to gain access to it. I shouldn't have to turn the beacon on to reattach/make functional a device that's been running on this very same network under ios8 for over a year. I am very confident when I say this is a problem with ios9, and not with any of my hardware. My router, just for clarity, has the latest available firmware installed.


How about a little help here Apple? Your silence on this issue is more than a little disturbing. Can I get a rebate on what I pay for your product?


EDIT: After some more observation, the problem hasn't changed. That said, I also have an iPad mini with ios 9 installed, same network segment, same settings, and it retains connection after SSID is hidden. Iphone 5 still affected as stated above. This points to a flawed installation in the phone perhaps? But, no errors reported during the update, and no other performance issues are observed???

I am having the same issue except the phones (I am testing with 3 different 5s models) also won't connect to wifi with WPA2 Personal. The SSID is not being broadcast. If I broadcast the SSID the phones have no issue connecting with the WPA2 Personal on.

I have also tested with 3 different iPads (wi-fi only models) and they have no issue connecting after iOS 9 Update With the SSID not broadcast and WPA2 personal on.


Could there be a possible issue with the ipv 6 scrambling the MAC address for cellular capable devices?

It seems that on all iOS 8 releases the 5s phones defaulted to ipv 4 networking.


Could be wrong but something changed for the devices with cellular capabilities with the iOS 9 update that doesn't connect to WPA2 security when SSID is not broadcast.


I am sure Apple will investigate this and produce a fix If they already aren't on it.

I partially solved the problem connecring to the network that is not broadcasting the ssid while already connected to another network that is broadcasting the ssid.


I tried everything before that but nothing worked (dns, reset of network config, disable location service and so on).


I hope this can help you hoping for a fix soon.


ipad air 2 cell with ios9 (sadly)

Here is how I resolved my problem wih connnecting to corporate wiFi net and getting incorrect password error message. My iPad Air 2 was failing to connect to our Meru wiFi net after updating to iOS 9. So on my iPhone 6 Plus I turned on Personal Hotspot with an associated password. Next I successfully connected my iPad Air 2 to the new Personal Hotspot SSID with its password. Then on the iPad Air 2 I attempted to connect to one of the SSID's on our coporate wiFi and viola I was able to successfully connect using the password as required.


I do not know why this works yet but I have helped a large number of my collegues here at work with this solution. Come on Apple I know this is a known issue throughout the IOS 9 universe. I am beginning to have to explain to management why the Microsoft Surface tablet is not a viable solution for our mobile users. So getting this issue resolved ASAP is critical.
