    Linksys router not working with Iphone
    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 can't surf the Net and could not even open my Email with my Iphone. An error message will show that it can't find server. How will I configure my router to be able to surf the web with my Iphone. With other wireless provider through 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.
