Hi, I just bought a Linksys WRT54G wireless-G broadband router. It works fine with my desktop and laptop wirelessly not until i use it with my Iphone. The Iphone can detect the router and can even join it after typing the password. But much to my dismay I cant surf the Net and could not even open my Email with my Iphone. An error message will show that it cant find server. how will i configure my router to be able to surf the web with my Iphone. With other wireless provider thru WI_FI zones in the malls , my Iphone works perfectly . I can browse the web and check emails but not when i use my Linksys Router. Please help me. thanks

I followed all of the instructions online about rebooting my router, rebooting my phone and nothing worked. Finally, I discovered the reset option under General Settings.

From the Home Screen, I clicked on "Settings". From there, I scrolled down to "General" and clicked on it. From there, I scrolled to the bottom, clicked "Reset", then "Reset Network Settings". After accepting the warning that I was doing something dangerous and clicking the giant red button, the iPhone started buzzing and shaking and generally throwing a fit. After it was done getting reset, I simply went back into Settings -> Wifi, saw my network, connected and it worked!

So, if you're *still* having trouble with the iPhone v1.0.2 Wifi, reset your network settings. That did the trick for me.

If your iPhone is having trouble connecting to the Internet using your home or office Wi-Fi wireless router, the solution may be to change the iPhone’s DNS settings.

[*][[*]Go to Settings. [*]Select Wi-Fi. [*]Chose a network. [*]Select the blue arrow next to the network you are connected to. [*]Select DNS. [*]Change the DNS Address to 4.2.2.2

How on earth did you know that? I worked for hours trying to get my iPhone 3G to work with our open WiFi at my office and this is the first and only solution that worked!

I have a linksys WAG54G V.3 router. I've tried all the solutions above to no avail - any other ideas?

I had the same problem. Have been using iPhone no problems and then another linksys system appeared on my wi fi list. I think this interfered with it.
The suggestion above by Anurag fixed it.
