HT4993 Cannot connect to home wifi

I have the iphone 4S and I'm really getting tired of not being able to connect to my home wifi. My husband has the Samsung Galaxy S3 and has no problems whatsoever. I bought this phone for that specific reason amongst others but this is getting ridiulous. I'm about to take it to the Apple store and tell them they can have it back. Anyone else going through this???

There are a few posters with that problem, Angie...this can be either an incompatibility with the router or a problem with the iPhone or iDevice. Start with the Troubleshooting iOS WiFi article, see if that helps. If you are having issues with the WiFi block on the iPhone being greyed out, see this article.
Are you having problems only with the home WiFi or all WiFi?
You might also try a reboot of the iPhone by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

After ios 5 update cannot connect to home wifi

it worked just before i installed ios 5 and now I cannot connect to my wifi. iphone still connects

Same for me.
I have to reset my comcast modem to get the iphone to submit the password.
Otherwise i just get a message "unable to connect to HOMExxxx"
After I reset the modem then I get the password request.
Password should be retained in the iPhone.
Got the iPhone connected on Sunday night and then Monday morning had to go through the whole routine again.
Comcast password is many characters so this is problematic.

Cannot connect to home wifi?

why can't i connect to my home wifi, everyone else in the house can ?

Probably because the DHCP daemon in the router has quit. Try rebooting the router by turning it off for about 15 seconds.

HT204409 Cannot connect to home wifi with iPhone 4s.

IMy iphone does not see my home wifi. Nothing has changed, even after IOS 6. My Ipad and iMAC see and connect just fine. I reset everything on the modem and computers and again everything connects except the 4S. I have verified and or reset all settings including no security. It sees all the other netowrks in the area too. Any suggestion.

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

HT6065 Cannot connect to home wifi automatically despite upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update

My MacBook Pro is unable to connect to my home wifi although there were no problems in the past. I realized that the problem was intermittent and then it became permanent. Each time I have to manually connect to my home wifi. This is despite having upgraded to the latest OS version Maverick v 0.9.1.

See if anything here helps - no guarantees, but sometimes any one of the suggestions has been known to work:
WiFi Problems:
Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion and possibly Mavericks:

Why my use iPhone cannot connect to home wifi in China?

I have just visited China, city of nanjing. Was staying at friends house, home has a wifi router connected to China Telecom modem. No matter how i tried, i just could not connect to the internet.Anybody got solutions to it?Tried using a iphone 4 and 4s.

not sure its still of any use, but I found I have to reset the china telecom modem (not the router) so that when it starts, the devices are already there and accepted for internet connection. I have that problem and need to reset my modem every day when I get home

Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi. Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago. Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi. This iphone belongs to son who is autistic. I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated. Have reset router but no change.

Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem. Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. Specifically the "forget this network" step. I would also consider resetting the wifi network password. Sometimes that will allow a connection.

I have 2 ipod touch 3rd gen. Cannot connect to my wifi. One will connect with neighbor's unsecure network..neither connect with my secured network

I have 2 ipod touch 3rd generation. Cannot connect to my wifi. One will connect on and off to my neighbor's unsecure wifi but neither will connect to my secured wifi. All my wireless computers connect plus my Ipad connects. They did connect at one time but haven't used them for anything but audio books which connect through Itunes on my computer. It shows my secured network name. When I originally connected them it was another rather with other security but since then I have bought new equipment. My Ipad and my printers just automatically connect. I have put in the Ip information plus but still no luck.

HT4623 I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6

I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6. I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6. I updated while connected to iTunes. I can no longer connect to the wifi that I had previously used at that location. However, I can connect to all of the other wifi areas I had previously connected to ie. home, coffee shop, etc.
I have tried turning off cellular data.. Other than not being able to connect to my office wifi it appears that iOS 6 is working properly..
Thank you in advance for your assistance

I have the same problem too and I have not been able to "fix" it. It is very frustrating! My other electronics connected to my wifi: pc, ipad, iphone 3G,and TV they all working fine. I went to the Apple store and they say this problem is ralated to my network provider, then when I went to AT&T they say it is Apples problem. Who do you believe?
