Hello,
My iphone 4s does not connect to my wireless network which runs on netgear wgr614 v7. It did until two weeks ago. On my phone it will not accept the password and I have not been able to connect at all. On my phone it shows the network is locked. If I unlock it will it work?
 
Yes. But then your network will be open for anyone to connect to. What type of encryption are you using? I recommend using WPA2 if available, if not then WPA.
 


options are
none

wpa-psk (TKIP)
wpa2-psk (AES)
wpa-psk (TKIP) + wpa2-psk(AES)
