Try following this article: Troubleshooting wifi connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
If that doesn't work, you have the option to back up and restore to factory settings, then testing the connection. But before doing that troubleshoot your router.
Contact your service provider and shown them this article for recommended settings. >> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199?viewlocale=en_US
Hope this helps.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem is still not resolved, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Verizon does not provide hardware support, taking the device to them would be a waste of time.

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 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?

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

Why will my iphone 4s not connect with my computer

Why is my iPhone 4s not connecting to my apple airport?

My iPhone 4s is not connecting to my AirPort Extreme. It keeps saying "An unexpected error has occurred. Try again." I have tried resetting the airport and no help at all. My macbook can connect with no issues, so I am confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - This worked for me - go to settings - choose Wi-Fi - press the arrow next to the network that you want to connect - choose "Forget This Network" - choose "Forget" - then press Settings and turn off the iPhone - turn it back on and wait it for it to reboot - then go to settings - choose Wi-Fi - press the Name of the network - enter the password and press "Join" - you should now be connected - let me know how you make out.

Why is my iphone 4 not connecting to wifi

So I have had my Iphone 4 for two years and it has been great. Last week i bought a new computer and when we hooked it up my phone started acting up to the wifi and says unable to join. I dont know if the new compter has anything to do with it or not. My fiances iphone 5 still connects. i call my phone company and they reset our internet and i can then join on but then it kicks me right back off. I just want it fixed!! lol

Sounds too coincidental to have both phones go bad at once on the same day.
It could still be your router, even if you have reset it.
Have you tried connecting to another WIFI network, like a public WIFI or neighbor's?

IPhone will not connect to home wifi network

My iPhone 4s will not connect to my home wireless router. I have 2 other iPhones and an iPad which are connected fine. Help!!

Ilindafrommilford,
You might want to re-post your question in the iPhone subforum. By accident, you ended up in the iPhone forum.
Good luck finding your router!

Iphone will not connect to wi-fi now that I have hooked up my Time Capsule

I finally got my Time Capsule hoohed up and working and now my iphone and both my ipods will not connect to the wi-fi network. I had airport express before I got the Time Capsule and the wi-fi worked fine with my iphone and both ipods. How can I fix this. Can I use my old airport express and the Time Capsule? How?

The TC should work..
You need to lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz band.
To do that log into the TC.. (airport utility, manual setup, airport, wireless page)
Change wireless name to short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
In advanced change the 5ghz name to different one.. but same rules. eg TC5ghz.. (name for 2.4ghz can be TC24ghz)
Lock wireless to a/n - b/g
Lock the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. (5ghz also but less of an issue, the iphone and ipods use 2.4ghz).
Select one of the 3, non overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11
Start with 6, if that fails, try 11 and lastly 6.
Set security to either WPA or better WPA2 Personal. Passkey should be same rules as above.. but 8-12 characters, non-dictionary.
You can plug the airport express into the TC, but IMHO better getting the TC working.

IPhone will not connect to my wifi.

I cannot get my phone to connect to my own wifi connection. Had this phone since November with no problems, now all of a sudden it will not connect.
Try to reset, but it still will not connect. I am using the correct password. Any suggestions?

Hello Iterry, Wifi is definitley an important feature! You mentioned you tried a Reset which means you're defintiely on the right path! Elector provideda great link for troubleshooting the iPhone, as well! Let's try a few additional steps to make sure we get your Wifi connected. While there are many reset options for your iPhone 5C, we do recommend starting with a "Reset of Network Settings" to help in resolving Wifi connection concerns. Here is a link with the steps: http://vz.to/Qt1HVR. Also, have you been able to test the phone with multiple available Wifi Networks? Keep us posted - we're here to help.
