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 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 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. -
Since yesterday my Iphone 4 does no longer connect to the Wifi. It recognises it, but doesn't connect. It is not the rooter, have checked that. Have restored iphone to factory settings and it still doesn't recognise the wifi connection.
Any suggestions? Is there a solution?ThanksAll Wifi networks. It recognises the name of the networks, then thinks and thinks and doesn't lauch the wifi mode.

My iphone 4s is not connecting to home wifi!
My iphone 4s doesn't show my home wifi in the settings, yet my laptop and an old ipod touch of mine are both connected to the home wifi.
This happens in my room, and for my iphone to recognize my home wifi, I have to leave my room and move closer to the router. I had recently gotten a new, stronger home router and my room is the farthest room away from the router, so at first I thought that was the reason. But it just does not make sense that my laptop is connected with the signal strength listed as "fair" and an older ipod touch(which has IOS 3.1.3) is also connected to my wifi, yet all three devices are right next to each other.
I've tried turning the wifi on and off in the settings, I've turned off my phone so many times, and I've also resetted my phone and using icloud to back it up. Nothing is working, and I've been wanting to reset my phone completely and restarting it as a new phone, but I thought I should ask for an option on what I should do.
please help!Same thing, but my wifi button is greyed out!
After reinstalling to factory settings for some strange reason, still having ios 6.
And still no wifi! -
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 recently got a new blackberry curve 8520 and it connected to my home wifi when I bought it, but since I inserted my new orange sim I can no longer connect to any wifi, including home network. The phone will not connect to wifi with or without a sim.
I have made a search for a fix on google and tried different things, but nothing worked.
I can only choose hotspot browser as my default browser, I have no other option available.
I am on an orange 12 month canary plan.
Please help me connect to wifi!
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)
If you do not have a data plan, why not? (not meant to offend - but need to know to assist)

My IPhone and iPad stopped connecting to home wifi. Other devices still connect.
My Iphone and IPad just stopped connecting to home Wifi; other divices still work including my IMac
Try resetting your wireless router and modem.
Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait 5 minutes followed by reconnecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before reconnecting the wireless router to the power source. -
I have had my ipad for about one year. Recently it started dropping the wifi. I would have to go to settings and choose my network. Then it would not connect at all. I went online looking for solutions. I tried everything. Nothing helped. I also have an iphone4S that I just got about 2 months ago. It has now also lost connection to my wifi. I need help. Thanks, Lorie
Power cycle the Wi-Fi router/access point.

Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset. Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password. No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi. Only the iPod and an iPhone 4. My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network. This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone. Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do. Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it. And both are operating on the latest iOS update. I just updated it. Still doesn't work. How crazy.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before? no
Try the following to rule out a software problem: (Not clear what you did)
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

IPhone 6 won't connect to home WiFi - Password Incorrect!
So, I got my brand new iPhone 6 yesterday.. Everything seems to work fine, except for internet connection..
Every time I attempt to connect, it rejects me, and tells me that the password is incorrect.
I also, can't really reach the the network by walking only 10 meters away.. I really have to stand right next to the router to get a chance.
I've tried reseting my phone completely, and it still doesn't work.
I can easily connect at school, that why I really can't decide if it's a hardware issue, or if it's my home network.
I just don't get it... Because we're a lot of users at home, we got tons of devices connected to the specific network. And its working impeccable.
So my question is.... Does this have something to do with iOS 8 and it's wellknown bugs, or do I have to get my iPhone replaced?I just tried this and it worked, hopefully it works for you too, I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out and nothing worked, I tried rebooting both my phone and the router, turning the airplane mode, etc etc I even took the password requirement off my router and still it would say "unable to join network"
All along it was my router and not my phone.
The routers have a list of allowed devices, called MAC filtering addresses, I had to manually add my phone's address and that fixed the "incorrect password issue"
I went to General > About > Wi-Fi address (copy that long number/letters thing) then log into your router and access the MAC filtering allowed devices list and enter that address in there and save it, that indicates to your router that your phone is allowed to access the network.
As soon as my husband added that address I tried entering the network password on my phone and finally it connected
Good luck! -
My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement. If not you're stuffed. It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone. You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there. It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!! That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!! -
IPhone 4S suddenly stopped connecting to home WiFi
Hey all,
So I've had my iPhone for probably about 4 months, and up until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, WiFi was working fine on it. Then, one day, I left home and came back a few hours later, and I couldn't connect to the home network. I can still see the network, and it comes up with the signal strength and everything seems normal, but then I go to connect and a message pops up saying "Unable to join network [Home]".
There're 9 other devices on our router, which are an iPhone 4, an iPhone 3GS, an iPod touch, an Apple TV, a windows laptop, an iMac, a MacBook, an ipad, and a PS3.
Thanks for any help in advance.Oh and I forgot to mention, I can access other WiFi networks.

New iphone 4s will not connect to home wifi. Says password is incorrect, but it is not.
Please help new iphone 4s from verizon will not connect to my home wifi. I was able to connect to my sister's home wifi without any issues tonight, but now at my home and says password is incorrect. The password is correct. I have an ipod touch gen 2 that connects with no problems.
make sure your home wireless network is not "hidden." Settings -> Wi-Fi -> select your home network, it it's hidden, select "other" and manually type in the network name, password, and select security type.

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?
