IPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi

iPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi - signal good, iPad connects fine but iPhone comes up with error message "Unable to join the network". I've tried reboot. Any ideas?
Thanks

I called Apple and explained the problem. After I explained the wifi connection problems, they said it was a hardware issue and sent me to my local Apple store and exchanged mine for a new iPhone. I backed it up prior to getting the new phone and it was easily restored.

I am unable to connect to wifi on my Iphone 5

I have rest my phone and everything and I am still unable to connect to wifi. I entered my passcode at my apartment and it didn't work and now I am at my university and I have entered my secure passcode and it is still not working. Can you please help me with this?

I was experiencing the same problem. Tried numerous fixes. What finally worked was I went into Settings>General>About; recorded my Wi-Fi Address, and manually entered it into my router as an recognized/allowed device. Selected by network, entered the password on the iPhone, and Bingo! I was in!!
Good Luck

Unable to connect to WiFi temp fix

IM in IT with a major 500 company and what I've done to be able to connect to my wifi at home was to go into the router setting and change the wifi channel from auto to 1-11 and that worked for me. When I was connect to my wifi at home I was getting unable to connect to wifi. I noticed this after upgrading to iOS6. It looks like IOS6 has issues with the Channel functions on the router it's connecting to. Although you are able to connect I noticed that the signal will sway from 3 to 2 bars and this has nothing to do with your router but how the iPhone searches and connects to WiFi locations. The only fix for that would be for apple to fix its iOS.

Try this -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

Unable to connect to wifi when out on the road

Unable to connect to wifi on iphone 4 when out on the road

No problem connecting to your personal wi-fi network at home?
Are all wi-fi networks you are trying to connect with on the road open public wi-fi hotspots?

Iphone can't connect to wifi

Hi, i'm using an iPhone4 (4.3.1) and it was everything fine till yesterday.
This morning I woke up and i saw that the iPhone was working only in 3G so I tried to connect to the wifi network (I've got an airport extreme) manually but it said "unable to connect to wifi network XXX" altough I can see the networks in the wifi menu pannel.
So I turn off the iPhone in order to restart it, or smth else, but it was all the same... Then I have removed the wpa/wpa2 password from the network but the problem already exist.
I tried to create a new wifi network from my macbook pro, but the iPhone can't connect to it... I hope that it's not an hardware problem, and it'll be strange since i can see the networks around me but i can't connect to them: i think that if it would be an hardware problem, i couldn't see them.
Could you help me, please?!? I don't know what could I do now... The last chance is to contact the applecare..............
Thank you
Gian

Two things.
1. unplug power to router. Unplug power to modem. Let sit for 10 seconds. Plug in power to modem. Wait for modem to finish it's boot process and wait for all the lights to stop flashing. Plug in power to router and wait for it to connect. Shutdown iPhone and turn back on and try to reconnect to the internet.
2. On the iPhone go to "Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings" and then restart the phone and then try connecting to the Wi-Fi hotspot again.

TS1398 ipod touch 5.1.1 unable to connect to wifi

unable to connect to wifi with a ipod touch 5.1.1////the wifi remains gray

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I have checked with others in my office, who are on the same network and have the same iphone and they all seem to be able to connect to wifi.
But have you tried turning your ROUTER off and on?

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.

IPhone can't connect to wifi at home

periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house. We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem. Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones. Do I have a bad router?

From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct! I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
I hope you can help

Well are you absolutely certain you know your password. This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up.
If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password. Theres other errrors for that. Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password
