IPhone 5 no longer connecting to home wifi after adding new iPhone 5s

I just bought my husband a new iPhone 5s and successfully connected it to our home wifi; however, now my iPhone 5 won't connect.  All other home devices will connect without an issue. I've tried Reseting the Network Setting on my iPhone and that does not work.  It first gives me a message that states it is "unable" to connect to the network, then when I try again, it says the password is incorrect (and it is not).  I'ver tried turning my router off and on again as well.  Is there a way to just set an IP address maybe?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

    new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

    Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

  • Iphone 4s cannot auto connect to home wifi after updating to ios 6.1.2

    My iphone 4s will not auto connect to my home wifi after updating to IOS 6.1.2.  I can manually connect to my phone to wifi but it will get disconnect if I'mnot using the phone. Any way to reslove?

    Once the phone goes into sleep mode, it is supposed to auto disconnect from wifi to save battery. Are you saying that once you wake the phone up it will not auto connect at that time?
    Suggest you try and forget the network, then go in and try the reset network settings again and then try to rediscover the network and connect again. Have you tried to do a reset of the phone, but holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • Iphone 4s - cant connect to home wifi

    For months my iPhone 4s, now running iOS 6, has been having trouble connecting to wifi. It didn't bother me too much until now, when I can no longer connect to the wifi at home. I reset my network settings, but still no luck. I know the password by heart and have checked it, the password isn't the problem. It will either say "incorrect password" or "unable to connect". On my macbook, ipad, kindle, as well as another iphone in the house, there are no problems connecting to the wifi. We have fios but because of the recent storm and just regaining our internet a few days ago, I'd prefer not to mess around with the router. It is so frustrating to me that I cannot connect to wifi in my own house all of a sudden. I don't want to update to iOS 6.0.1 until I have resolved this (not to mention you need wifi to update anyway). I have seen a lot of other people complain about this iOS 6 wifi glitch, but mine started before I updated. Previously, it would not allow me to connect to most outside networks, home worked fine. Please, if you know of a solution to this problem, let me know before I go over my data plan!

    Try followings. It may help you.
    First check wifi router setting in pass key type, do the following WPA Personal, and set encription to TKIP and choose your fev SSID with your fev password. Save the setting switch off your router wait for 15 sec switch it on back. This should solve your problem. If you have linksys then 192.168.1.1 is the ip address to enter basic setup.
    Good luck.

  • Iphone 5 not connecting to home wifi

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 not connecting to my home wifi. This is a recent (just today) issue, it has been connecting with no problem for over 2 years and remembering the password.
    Today
    It sees my SSID, if I click on it I get asked for the password - I enter the password (checked with my router settings and correct), and I get the message:
    "Incorrect Password for "SSID" (name changed)
    What I have done:
    1. I have rebooted the phone (failed to fix)
    2. I have reset my Network settings on the phone (failed to fix & mashed all my email settings)
    3. I have backed up my phone to iTunes (BUT NOT RESTORED IT - YET)
    4. I have rebooted my (netgear DGN1000 router) (failed to fix).
    5. I have reset my router to factory settings, and whilst set with factory resets, tried to connect my phone (phone failed to recognise the default password)
    6. I have reset my SSID and password to my preferences.
    7. I reset my wireless encryption to "disable", and get message on the phone "Unable to join the network "SSID" (the lock icon disappeared off my phone)
    8. I reset the encryption, the lock icon re-appeared, and I get message "Incorrect password..."
    9. Other items: ipad air, Kindle Fire HD, iPhone 4 - all connect to the wifi with no problems, did before and still do now.
    10 Been to the O2 store (O2 are my provider), and the phone connected to their In Store wifi with no issues (they say no fault on phone)
    11. I have rung Virgin media (my landline & internet provider) and they have checked my router settings (they are OK) and advise me they can't help with the phone as it's "..an unsupported device.."
    Stuck now! &

    zolala:
    Virgin media is my internet provider, and I have rung them too; They talked me through the router settings, but the iPhone is "unsupported".
    My router settings are correct.
    Can you explain "...are you using Apple Airport Extreme for hm network?..." please?
    raymond73:
    I have an "old Dlink GSL624" and I dug this out, but can't find the factory code for the passphrase (I had to reset to factory default)
    If nothing else works, I'll get onto Virgin media and threaten to move isp unless they send me a new router. I have been with them for - well the days of dial up - well over 10 years probably.
    I am currently restoring the iPhone to its factory default. I will set up as a new phone to test, and IF it works, I'll then restore to backup - If it stops working after this, I'll have to copy all my contacts somehow, and then start from scratch again.
    Any idea how I can copy just my contacts somewhere I can restore them from easily?
    Thanks

  • Phone will no longer connect to home wifi.

    My phone just sits there loading on the the Belkin router option that is my home wifi. I've tried resetting my phone and syncing to itunes and nothing seems to work. I've also tried forgetting the network, then reentering the wifi code; this also doesn't work. I have a limited data plan so I need this wifi to keep from going over that 2 GB limit as the overdraft fees will wreck me.

    I forget which Orange UK plan I'm on, but it works fine so
    Does you plan include Data?
    Which carrier's SIm were you using before? Have they turned off your service yet?
    Have Orange enabled your BIS (data plan needed)

  • IPhone does not connect to home Wifi

    I have a wifi working but on my iphone or any other device other than a computer does not connect to home wifi. What should I do?

    Hi leilaboxergirl,
    So, when you go to Settings>WiFi, what do you see?
    Is WiFi = On?
    Under Choose a Network, is anything showing for you to select?
    Is the Ask to Join Networks button on?

  • Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

    Our home wifi appears to be working fine.  Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble.  However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect.  It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect.  We reset our wireless hub but that did not help.  I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice.  I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

    Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones.  This has got to be an issue with the new software. 

  • IPhone 5 will no longer connect to home wifi

    My iPhone 5 has been connecting to my home wifi without any troubles, however all of a sudden, for the last couple of days it will no longer connect. When I go to Settings, it shows my the name of my home network next to Wifi as though it's connected, however if I go into the Wifi settings, instead of a tick next to my home network, it has the little pinwheel that shows it's trying to connect to it. The wifi triangle never appears at the top of the screen and the wifi never fully connects.
    My wifi is working normally when I connect to other connections outside of my home.
    I have reset Network Connections, re-entered my home wifi password, but I still have the same result.
    The only thing I can think of is that there are now more phones in the house using our wifi connection so maybe I have somehow been kicked off?
    Please Help!

    Hi Brenden,
    Thanks for your reply. I had already tried the steps in that article and I don't know how, but a few hours after I reset my network connections & re-entered the wifi password, the wifi began working again.
    Now some of the other members in the household can no longer connect so it appears I have bumped them off!
    Oh well at least mine is working again!
    Thank you for taking the time to answer my query.

  • IPhone 5s stopped connecting to home wifi. Circle just spins in settings. Already tried to reset network settings. Other apple devices are connecting just fine.

    I reset network settings. All other apple devices in home connect as intended. Circle in settings just keeps spinning next to connection but won't connect.

    I have the same problem. I connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi (airport express) and to a MiFi Jetpack at work everyday. After about 2 days the phone will no longer connect. I just get a spinning circle next to the wifi name. The same thing will happen at home and at work at the same time. I'll reset my network settings on my phone then I can connect to both wifi spots. After another couple of days the process repeats. Obviously it is not the airport express or Jetpack since it only affects my iphone and not anyone elses and the reset on the phone fixes it.

  • MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

    As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet.  Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem.  We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
    We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
    We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that.  We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
    The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus.  He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thank you!!!

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

  • Iphone 5 wont connect to home wifi- Any ideas?

    Hi- I just got a new iphone5 but it won't connect to my home wifi- keeps saying 'unable to connect to SKYXX'. I have tried restoring network settings but still no joy. Wifi on iPad and laptop working fine. Any ideas?

    Well first off make 100% sure you are using the right password   If you're completely sure then you may have an issue with the wi-fi antenna on your phone being damaged or something like that and you should take it in to an authorized apple retailer and see if they can do anything about it
