This is a typical error when your iPhone is unable to connect to Wi-Fi network. If you are those unlucky ones who received this error message “Unable to Join Network Failure (error -3)”, you can try the following steps.

  1. Verify that the network name and security setting are correct. SSID and WEP settings are the keys to access a Wi-Fi network. Incorrect entries would get denied, and you would eventually receive the “Unable to Join Network Failure (error -3)” error message.
  2. Verify that the setting on the Wi-Fi access point or router is properly configured. Things to check should include the followings:
    • MAC address filtering - is it on or off?
    • Security settings on the router - it should match the iPod touch security setting such as WEP password or WPA2…etc.
    • Disabling (QoS) quality of service if QoS is turned on.
  3. If these steps fail to resolve “Unable to Join Network Failure (error -3)”, re-enter the network name (SSID) and security setting password on the iPhone. To accomplish this, from Home screen, tab Settings > Wi-Fi > Other (under Choose a Network), then type the correct information.

The above steps should fix “Unable to Join Network Failure (error -3)” on the iPhone. If it still doesn’t work, we should consider T-Mobile’s G1. :)  Good luck!
