My iPhone can't get along with my wireless router!

[foxidrive]

My iPhone is upset with my new wireless cable modem...

It will not acquire an IP address to the wireless router using DHCP, although it tries valiantly! It worked fine on the old wireless modem so this is odd.
I've tried nuking the network settings, tested it with no passwords/encryption, reset the phone, toggled the wireless services, nada works.

It's quite happy if I set a static IP address, and that's how it'll have to work I think... there are reports of iPhones etc having issues with various wireless routers.

Did you try it with someone else's phone?

I have nobody else's phone to try.

But the wireless via DHCP is working fine on the smart TV.

So probably the problem is in the phone.

 

[foxidrive]

Yes, an incompatibility of some kind with the wireless router maybe.

I know someone who's going to Clayton tomorrow with an iPhone, can easily check its compatibility with your router...

Will he be on his own? I'm not feeling up to many people - 3 hours sleep the last two nights, and I'm probably going to crash until midday tomorrow (after I take my 1am and 9am tablets).

Throat and top of stomach is burning atm so not sure about sleep tonight either really.

On the plus side, the 5pm Tablet was vanquished! Coated it in nutella to stop it sticking to my esophagus and then down in a mouthful of banana! Bliss!

That 9am tablet went down 5 hours and heaps of fluid later.

Erm, I think this was from a different thread. The problem is likely to be just my iPhone and software install, rather than a generic every-iphone problem.

Will he be on his own?

His wife going to shopping in the shopping centre so he will be alone.

I'd love to catch up misi but let's postpone it again - I feel a bit lot crappy so I may be a very miserable host.

But you gave me an idea and I just checked two old iPads and they both connect to the router just fine, so it does look like it's my phone.

let's postpone it

No problemas, Foxi!

[foxidrive]

Get well soon M8.

Thanks. I'm feeling better yesterday and today.

 

[Guess]

Hope you feel OK today too ( which is after your today which was yesterday which makes my today your tomorrow )

 

[foxidrive]

which makes my today your tomorrow

Hmmm, I think I need a TARDIS!

I'm doing pretty well thanks Guess - mostly I haven't had heartburn for a few days.

This is funny - check out the dictionary of side effects this one has... not to read them all, just see how many there are.

I have a metallic taste in my mouth which is upleasant, but not fatal, and a slightly sore mouth - it's these bloody tablets, nine more days.

Just checked my Meds.

Clone??? But...but...
Same weight?

 

[foxidrive]

Shhh! The clone can be genetically modified, like wheat.

 

[TeeEm]

Sounds like a whole lot of chaff to me.

For years now, Every time Mrs Guess asks me if I want anything from the shops, My standard answer is always " A new body please ". One day she might get me one.
