Iphone 4S will not connect to Wifi at any locations. Verizon told me it was a bug that come with the last iOS update. Help?

My daughter iPhone 4S cannot connect to Wifi at home or in public. I went to Verizon and they told me it was a bug from the last iOS update. Can someone validate this? Are there work arounds outside of upgrading the phone?

Hi DBraschler,
If you are having issues connecting to WiFi networks from your daughter's iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if the WiFi settings on the iPhone are completely greyed out or unresponsive, then this article may be more useful:

Hi jazznola9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several steps you can take when troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity on an iPhone and it sounds like you have already done a few of them already. In your situation I would recommend reading over and working through the steps listed in the attached article.

New iPhone 5 will not connect to WiFi

I finally upgraded to a iPhone 5 from my old 3G and I cannot get it to connect ot my home WiFi. It can see the WiFi and I have WEP encription on the network using a Netgear WGT624v3 wireless router and 128bit encryption and when I enter the password, the iPhone gives me an "incorrect Password" warning. I have tried several times to enter it and even texted it to the phone and copied and pasted it to avoid any typos to no avail. I have powered down the router, removed the encryption, tried another encryption key, rebooted the iPhone but cannot get it to connect.
This is a router with a 802.11 g and b protocol working on channel 11 and I have not had issue with our iPad 2, my wife's iPhone 3GS, my old iPhone 3G or our Macbook Pro. I also tried to enter the network manually and it just does not want to accept the password whether it needs one or not. What am I not doing correctly? I say that there were some issues when people upgraded from an earlier operating system to the current one but this is a new phone as of yesterday??

OK, I'm in and here is the fix for any of you that have a Netgear router of the WGT624v3 variety:
Open the router interface by opening a browser window and in the address bar enter http://192.168.1.1
Log in to the router -- User name = admin and Password = password (unless you have set it up differently)
On the left hand sidebar near the bottom Web Support and Knowledge Base
Near the center of the screen click on Get More Downloads then be sure the model number carried over, you may need to readjust that back to the WGT624v3 because it does matter.
Under Firmware/Software at the bottom of the list WGT624v3 Firmware Version 2.0.21_1.0.1 (North America)
(this is a 3 version downgrade in the firmware but it works)
Click the Download button in the pop-up then Continue without registration
The zip file will download and you will need to extract the file wgt624v3_2_0_21_1_0_1_na.chk file to a place you can find it later.
Go back into the router interface http://192.168.1.1 and log in as before if necessary
Under Mantenance click on Router Upgrade and then Locate and Select the Upgrade File from your Hard Drive: and then select the file in the folder you placed it. and then click on the Update button.
The router will take a few minutes to load and cycle but the iPhone will connect with any of the security protocols you are using in you other network devices,
I then made sure the modem did not ask me to check for updates so I don't screw it up again-- Yes, this is a downgrade of 3-4 versions and you would think newer is better but there is something about the new OSi that is not compatable, don't know if this is an Apple problem or a Netgear problem.
If you have a D-Link router, God help you but I'll bet there is a similar fix. Newer is not always better,

I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

Iphone 4 will not connect to wifi

iphone 4 has not been connecting to wifi, I have restarted and have all updates? Was charged extra for last months overage. No explanantion

Okay, why is it not connecting? Any errors?
Are the Wi-Fi networks detected?
No offense, but no one cares if you were charged for overages or not, nothing that we can do about that.

Helllpp! My iphone 4s will not connect to wifi!

Ever since I downloaded ios 7 my wifi has not been working. At first i was quite annoyed but just used 3G instead. But 3G is costing too much so want to sort my wifi out now. I have tried almost everything that all these websites have been saying to do like reseting the iphone, going into airplane mode even heating it up with a hairdryer and cooling it in the freezer afterwards and the wifi is still not connecting! Has anyone got any other suggestions for me to do?

If you tried all the suggestions in this article iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim and setting it up as new device did not help either, you'll have to get it looked at by Apple.

Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

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 4 will not connect to my wifi

My iphone 4 will not connect to my wifi during set up after cleaning it out and erasing all info for a fresh start

Hi Friend,
Can your iPad sends iMessages, Facetime calls or something through the internet?
If yes, try to reset your network settings, double check the Restrictions settings, check the Safari settings...
If not, you have some problem with iinternet connection. Look at airplane mode is off, if your iPad recognizes WiFi connection or not, check the Restrictions settings, if other device also faces the same problem with internet connection
If still not working:
1. Go to the Settings App.
2. Tap on Wi-Fi
3. Your chosen network will be ticked. Tap on its white arrow over a blue circle button to its right
4. Tap on DNS
5. Replace the current information with 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
6. Try visiting a website with Safari to see if this works.
Hope something here helps

My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.
