My daughter's iPhone5 can connect to my APExpress just fine (it is not connected to the internet, though). It will not connect to my LAN Wi-Fi at all, even when it is right next to the router (802.11g). What's the deal? Do I need to enable multiple protocols on the d-Link router?

We'll see the next time my daughter comes over. I may have to tell it to forget the network and then try to connect again. It kept throwing up the "cannot join network name" dialog.

OK. I got it to connect by resetting its network settings, but I can't get it to complete activation. I'm thinking we should have activated the phone and then restored it from her 3GS backup. I need to get it back to factory default and start over. What's the best method for doing that?

Connect to iTunes (may need to be a physical USB connection) ...
in iTunes, select your iPhone in the sidebar (you may have to select View --> Show Sidebar to open the sidebar if it isn't already showing) -- In the Summary pane there should be a "Restore iPhone" button which should let you either restore from backup or restore to factory settings =)

I restored it to factory settings and reset the phone and that got me back to square 1. I still had to call AT&T to get it activated, though. It's up and running now. I just have to restore from her 3GS backup now, so that she has all of her contacts and photos, etc.
