How do I get my iPhone to recognize my new Linksys router.

I have a new Linksys router in my winter home and cannot get my iPhone 5 to recognize it as a wifi connection. Even if I try to choose it on the network settings I get a message indicating that I have entered an incorrect password. I also have a Linksys router in my permanent home and have no problem getting a wifi connection there.

Passwords are case sensitive, so the problem is possibly just that you have capitals in the password and these are not specifies when entering the password into the iPhone

Can't use home wifi on iphone

How many wired and wireless computers or devices do you have?
How many are conencted to the wireless network?
How many are actually able to access Internet through wireless connection?
If your wireelss network is secured then make sure that you have the correct wireless network key.
If nothing is working then I think you should try to reset and reconfigure Linksys router.
Create a new wireless network and then try to connect to the new wireless network

Iphone doesn't recognize router

Check the wireless settings of your router. Make sure that Wireless SSID broadcast is enabled on your router.
If other wireless devices are able to see the network and only Iphone is not able to see the network then it might be the issue with the Iphone.
You can try changing the wireless channel on your router. You need to open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 and change the settings.

You are looking for a Wireless Security key, this is not the Linksys password for the admin portion, look on the bottom it maybe there if not changed. Else goto the router home page and check it there something like 192.168.0.1. or 192.168.1.1 etc etc
