Hi chloedaly,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPhone 4 isn't connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've tried many good troubleshooting steps, including resetting the router and iPhone, updating iOS, resetting network settings and checking settings.
If you haven't already, make sure that other devices can connect to your Wi-Fi network. Also, try connecting to Wi-Fi networks in other locations using your iPhone. These steps will help isolate the issue to your iPhone or your Wi-Fi network (or internet service provider), and can be found at this link:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network but you can’t get online, try to use your Wi-Fi network on other devices. If you can’t get online using your other devices, there might be a service outage. Call your cable company or internet provider for help.
Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
If other Apple devices have trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi network, you may want to take a look at the settings using this article as reference:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
If other devices can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and your iPhone cannot connect to other networks, try backing up the data on your iPhone and restoring iOS to factory settings using the steps found here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

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

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!

My iPhone is not connecting to the wifi anymore

My iphone is not connecting to the wifi anymore

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.

My iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days i have tryed resetting network settings sometimes my wifi will turn on other times it will not could u plz help ?

my iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days sometimes the wifi turns on other time no often then not it will not turn on could u help ?

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.

HT201210 Iphone 4s will not update to iOS 7. Says an error occurred. I have to plug my phone into the computer also because it will not connect to home wifi. All other devices will connect to wifi though. I have enough storage to update also.

My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7. I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi. I've tried several different things but nothing is working. I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage. When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it. It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message. Do I need the iphone 5?

I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac. Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error. It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works. I have an apple airport extreme router too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

IPhone 5 WiFi Stopped connecting to Home WiFi

So as of a few months ago, my Iphone 5 stopped connected to many WiFi networks (hotels, Free WiFi etc). I thought this was a network load issue. As of about a week or so ago, it stopped connecting to my Home WiFi.
I have tried EVERYthing. Reset network settings. Reset router. Power cycled both several times. Hard wipe and restore. Static IP. Changed password of network. Changed SSID of network. Changed WiFi version. Changed Channel. Changed security settings of network (WPA/WPA2/WEP). Another iPad running older versions of the OS has no problem connecting to the network and neither does the MAC and a samsung galaxy.
It still does not work on SOME networks. It DOES WORK on enterprise networks and other places.
I went into the genius bar this am - RUDE customer service. Didnt understand the problem. Brought the manager over and he didnt have a solution either. I am hoping someone on the communities has an answer.
Thanks!!!

I'm having the EXACT same problem! My iPhone 5 used to connect easily to our and every other network till about a month ago. Now it rarely connects and if it does, is showing speeds of 0.25/0.25 Mbps. There is another iPhone 5, two 5c's, an old iPad, and several computers at our house and NONE of them have a problem connecting. I read about this problem on another forum, tried all the suggested fixes and nothing helps. Genius bar is the next stop. I'll let you know what they say...

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.

IPod touch 5th gen. and iPhone 4 will not connect to home Wifi. No issues anywhere else, just at home. iPhone 6 had the same problem, but was able to correct with network reset. Tried absolutley everything the boards say and nothing works. Help.

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 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

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!!!!

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!

Iphone not connecting to home wifi

Since I have upgraded to os6 for my iphone it takes forever to find and connect to my home wifi. It just took me about 40 mins. At first the phone doesn't even see the network, it doesnt see any networks in the area so I cant select it and check the settings on it. Then out of the blue it just connects. It's not a router problem because it happens all the time now regardless of whether i reboot it or not and my laptop is connected and I can connect with other devices ipod touch and laptop. Help please??

I am watching for the same solution, Hours of talk to an Apple Representative. There is also a back up problem and Bluetooth pairing problem with mine. It all started on December 5th. There is suppose to be an update to IOS 6 soon to fix these problems.
Best wishes and let ne know if you will.
