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 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

  • 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?

  • Cant Connect to Home wifi

    I did a restore a few days ago and ever since it hassnt let me connect to my Home wifi and I cant find a way to reeneter the pw for it and I have tried everything they suggested on the site is there something else i can to get it working again?

    Before restoring the iPod, try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Also power off and then back on your router.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • HT204409 Cannot connect to home wifi with iPhone 4s.

    IMy iphone does not see my home wifi.  Nothing has changed, even after IOS 6.  My Ipad and iMAC see and connect just fine.  I reset everything on the modem and computers and again everything connects except the 4S.  I have verified and or reset all settings including no security.  It sees all the other netowrks in the area too.  Any suggestion.
    BKV

    If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
    No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
