Iphone 5 cannot locate wifi after restore

I just tried to restore my new iPhoe 5 from the backup of my old phone and now the nes iPhone 5 cannot locate my wifi system even though it was locating it fine just before I did the restore.

Once after a restore I noticed WiFi was off.  So please excuse the obvious nature of these questions, but maybe they will help:
Is Settings > WiFi set to "On"?
Is Settings > Airplane Mode set to "Off"?

  • Cannot find wifi after restoring

    After restoring my ipad, it cannot scan for wireless networks.  What should I try?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Iphone 4 cannot discover wifi after upgrading to 4.3.5

    I have 2 Iphones after upgrading one of them to 4.3.5 thedevice cannot discover any wifi networks while the other iphone v.4.3.2 can??canyou please help i tried restoring and resetting network setting even changingmy router settings but nothing is Working ??

    That's because you are sharing an Apple ID, and iMessage is tied to Apple ID. There are two solutions: You can select different addresses for the two phones by going to Settings/Messages and tapping on Send & Receive. Or, the better solution is to sign out of iMessage on his phone (Settings/Messages), then create and sign in with a new Apple ID just for iMessage. This will not affect your sharing your Apple ID for apps, music and videos.

  • I restore my US version  iphone 5s  by connecting itunes after restore it shows hello and select country, and activation, but it does not activating why? is it work in china ?

    i restore my US version  iphone 5s  by connecting itunes after restore it shows hello and select country, and activation, but it does not activating why? is it work in china ?

    If the iPhone is locked to a US carrier, you cannot use the SIM card of another carrier on it to either activate it or use the iPhone.
    If you want to use your iPhone with China unicom, you need to get it unlocked by your US carrier.  Contact them to see what their unlocking policy is and if you qualify.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Microwaved iPhone 4, cannot detect WiFi.

    I have microwaved my iPhone 4 for 3 seconds (hearing rumors about it charging your phone) and it turns out now it cannot detect WiFi what's so ever.

    Seriously? You bought into that crap?
    Guess you'll be buying a new phone.
    Don't believe everything on the Internet...

  • After restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works, after restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works

    What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
    What EXACTLY is your problem?
    "does not works" is just a bit vague.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync after restore

    Iphone 4 will not sync via itunes via USB cable after restore.  Rebooted PC and iphone.  Latest version of itunes and iOS.  Device appears on left hand window, but the main window only shows the Apple logo, and empty white box, and a small LOCK symbol.  Other iphone and ipad still sync properly, but restored iphone will not.  Please help.

    I had the EXACT same thing and I have appeared to fix it thanks to Amand99:
    1) Make Sure you are running latest Itunes.
    2) Plug usb cord into computer with itunes on. DO NOT PLUG INTO PHONE.
    3) Do a hard shut down of your phone, where you hold the home and lock button and don't let go until the phone completely dies.
    4) Hold down home button for three seconds. DO NOT LET GO. While continuing to hold, plug chord into phone, connecting it to computer.  DO NOT LET GO. Hold for an additional five seconds.
    5) A window should appear in itunes saying that a phone is connected which needs a system restore. 
    6) Itunes should allow you to restore and update. 
    7) Now this was key for me because this might have been my mistake which originally caused this issue.  After the restore, Itunes shows the iPhone grey with a spinning wheel (like bofore).  I looked at the iPhone and it looked like it wanted me to go through the setup options. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE.  Be Patient, iTunes will eventually recognize the phone and finally ask if you want to restore it.  Choose "restore from backup", and let iTunes do it's stuff.
    My iPhone is back, Baby!  <phew>
