IPhone 4 does not see my home WiFi network anymore.

All of a sudden, a few days ago, my wife's iPhone 4 (initially with iOS 6.0.1, now with iOS 6.1) does not see anymore my home WiFi network (created by a Time Capsule), to which it connected automatically.
This has worked flawlessly for years but now the home network (nothing has been changed to its configuration) does not appear in the list of networks seen by the iPhone 4 (mine, iPhone 5 - iOS 6.1 - has no problem at all) and when trying a manual connection I get an error message saying that the network was not found. When I tested, I was a feet away from the Time Capsule.
I have turned the iPhone off and on again twice, to no avail. Just to try something, I created a new WiFi network from my iMac and it was immediately seen by the iPhone 4.
I don't see what could explain these symptoms and what would be the cure.
Help welcome
Thanks

No luck. It changed nothing to iPhone behaviour.
Thanks anyway.

    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?

    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 does not "see" network

    friend visiting my daughter.  her new iphone does not locate my daughter's wifi.  my daughter is connected to it with mer macbook.  the phone "sees" other networks in the areas.  why not this one?
    PS  had her shut down phone and then turn it back on.  no effect. 
    had her enter the network name in "Other," but it still could not locate it.

    it is not hidden.
    N (airport extreme base station)
    other devices, including my iphone, have connected to this network recently.  as noted, my daughter's macbook "sees" and is connected to the network.
    the network is up and available.
    the iphone can detect other networks in the vicinity, also detected by the macbook, but not the one located 20 feet away. 
    has to be something regarding that iphone, right?
    device has been restarted.

  • Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

    Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

    Fixing this is a two step process:
    1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
    ... check [√] Ask to join new networks
    "Known networks will be joined automatically.
    If no known networks are available, you will
    be asked before joining a new network."
    2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
    System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
    Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

  • Why can't I see my home WiFi network?

    I have had my iPod touch for almost two years and have had no trouble with it - until today.  I am presently not connected to the internet through my home WiFi network and can't find my network in Settings/Wi-Fi.  I can see other secure (and non-secure) networks, but not mine.  I am presently sitting right beside my AirPort Extreme and am connected to it with my laptop.  So the Wi-Fi station is working.  My iPod has the same settings it has always had (Wi-Fi is on and Ask to Join Networks is off).  How can it see other networks by not my own?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Is it this problem?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • 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.

  • IPad connects to free WiFi Hotspots, but NOT on my home WiFi network

    First, let me say that I have my iMac and a PC laptop working on my home WiFi network with no problems. My iPad connected to my home WiFi network for several months until about a week ago or so, somewhere around the time that I updated my iPad to OS 4.3.3.
    In the General settings section I have reset the NETWORK setting several times to no avail. I changed my network SSID twice, and changed my WAP2 password 3 times. My iMac and PC laptop worked like a charm for each change. But, like I said, my iPad has no issues connecting to free WiFi hotspots like at coffee shops, but "cannot join my Clearwire WiFi network" at home.
    My guess is that I have an OS issue, but if anybody knows anything better, please let me know.
    Thank you.

    I think the OS issue is with the password because free WiFi hotspots don't require passwords. So, all of my RF circuits are fine. My password is correct because when I changed it in the Clearwire WiMax modem\router, I was able to connect with the new password on my iMac and PC laptop with no problems.
    I have a 3 month old Clearwire 4G modem\router. My iPad worked great from the day I installed it. It stopped working around the time that I updated my iPad OS to 4.3.3.
    I am hoping that there is an OS fix because I had Clearwire on the phone for over an hour and we re-booted the modem\router several times and reset it to its default values. Again, I have no problems connecting with my iMac or PC laptop. They work like a charm, just like my iPad used to.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see Sony camcorder in iMovie anymore. It still works on MacBook, so nothing wrong with camera or connections.

    After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see my Sony camcorder anymore. I tried the new iMovie as well as the old version 9.0.9, which is still in Applications. I checked the camcorder and connections in iMovie on my MacBook (not upgraded) and that still functions properly, so the problem does not seem to be in iMovie, old or new, or in camcorder and connection.
    Anybody with the same problem or a solution?
    Thanks mbkom

  • Does not automatically connect to wireless network anymore

    Mac Book does not automatically connect to know networks any longer.

    Hi sashton,
    When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
    Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
    If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
    Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
    Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

    My wi-fi is not working. When I was IOS 6 it was inactive then I updated to IOS 6.0.1 then is active but cannot locate the wi-fi networks, not even at home.
