Hi! I have recently switched over to T-Mobile. Some older Apple devices will not join the Wi-Fi. I went through, added a new network of 2.4 and it still keeps saying unable to join. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

If you have the older round gateway, go to 2.4 and change the radio frequency to n/g.  Worked for me.  If you have the newer square gateway, your older network adapters won’t get wifi.  I had to buy a USB network adapter.  I wasn’t happy about it.

Sometimes you also have to lower the transmission mode or encryption to an older standard.
