IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi unless very close to router!

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my home wifi. My other family members have access to the wifi, it's just my iPhone that won't connect. It only connects when I am very close to my router. My iOS is 7.0.6 . The weird part is that I can connect to other wifi's, just not my own. I have tried everything, Turning wifi off and back on, Shutting down my iPhone, Hard rebotting my iPhone, Reset network settings, Reset ALL settings, sycning my iPhone, Unplugging my router, Updating my router, Changing security of wifi. Please help i've been dealing with this for weeks, and its very fustrarating.

have you tried updating the drivers on your modem?

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi

    My iphone won't connect to my home wifi. It say's connected but when i try and go online it say's unable to connect. I've tried forgetting the network, turning wifi off and on. The ip address is ok and my laptop connects ok.
    Has anyone got any ideas about how i can fix it?

    I am having the same issues as GirlyGirl.  Every other day or so my iPhone 3GS won't connect to wifi.  Before I was showing the wifi signal as if it were attached but I couldn't surf Safari.  Now even though under the wifi settings it shows I'm connected, I don't get the wifi fan showing I'm connected.  I've done the following:
    Renewed lease
    Forgotten network
    Reset Network Settings
    Reboot my iPhone
    Two days ago when I rebooted the router and Reset Network Settings it started working correctly.
    I've been working with my internet provider, they tell me my firmware on my 2wire is up to date & the issue is definitely with my iPhone.
    Security Settings:  WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES)
    My iPhone is attaching to the 169.x IP Address and the Subnet is 255.255.0.0. The router, DNS and Search Domains are blank.
    Also to note, I changed the name of my device through the gateway router so I could identify it more easily.  As of today it had defaulted back to the old name which is the ip address. Even if I don't change anything it isn't keeping those settings.
    Other than restarting my router and taking everything down for 15 minutes each time, what else can I try? 

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi network

    iPhone won't connect to a wifi network - just get a message saying it won't connect to the network (it doesn't give me a message that I've got the password wrong). Other devices do join the network OK
    What should I do to try t resolve it?

    Hi,
    I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday and I'm having the same problem, my laptop, my old HTC Legend and my work macbook all connect to my wifi no problems.  My iPhone won't.
    I've read through everything I can find on here, and on Sky help and have tried:
    Resetting router
    Resetting network settings on iphone
    Using MAC address access control on the router
    Changing channels on the router
    Switching everything off and on
    Someone suggested doing 'forget network' on the iphone, but I can't find this option
    Turning off 3G and mobile data and trying to connect
    Checking password is correct (it is)
    Kind of at a loss now as to what I can do, I've emailed Sky and waiting for their advice, but should I take it back to the shop to exchange it?  Everything else I have connects just fine, no problem.
    It just says "unable to join network"
    Anyone help?
    Thanks

  • 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

  • I phone 5 will not connect to wi-Fi unless very close to router. It has I. The past. All other devices connect effortlessly

    Hello.  My I phone 5 will no longer connect to my home wi-Fi unless very close to the router. No problems in the past. All other devices find & select wi Fi no problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

    What you described sounds like a part of the iPod antenna system which looks like a gold ribbon.  I don't recommend that you try to effect any repairs yourself.  You would be best off taking it to Apple where you may be able to exchange it for an alike model. The price is 99USD for all 4th gen models, except the 64gb which will cost 199USD.

  • IPhone won't connect to wifi at all!! Please help.

    I have an iPhone 4 and I don't use it as a phone any more but I do use it for downloading songs and stuff of wifi, kinda like an iPod touch but I dropped it in water(not the first time I have done this) and as usual it will come back alive after drying but this time the wifi says no wifi and it is colored light gray.everything els is normal about the phone except I can't get Internet via wifi. Can someone tell me if there is another way to access the Internet with this device or how to fix the wifi? Oh and one more thing, when I go to general and press about I see that the wifi address says N/A so I don't know if I can just get a new address or what.

    "followed all directions"
    so you followed ALL the steps described in these articles?

  • My iPod touch won't connect to WiFi unless it is plugged into the wall.

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch. It was working fine but all of a sudden I can't stay connected to the WiFi unless it is plugged in. Anyone else ever experience this? All my other devices work fine on WiFi, so I assume it must be a problem with my iPod.

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipad and iPhone won't connect to wifi

    I just purchased (today) an ipad 3 and iphone 4S.  Neither will connect to my apple time capsule, but my mac and ipad 2 connect fine.  I've tried turning both new devices off and unplugging and restarting the time capsule, but no luck.  have tired "forgetting" the network on both devices and then re-entering the password, no luck.  Help!!!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • MB doesn't connect to Airport unless very close to the router as of this wk

    My MacBook only connects to AirPort when I am in the same room as the router. It only started doing this two days ago. I am using a BT Home Hub.
    My dad also has a MacBook, the same model, and it picks up the Internet wherever he is in the house. My mac also did the same up until the weekend.
    I suspect that this is the AirPort card - where is this located in the MacBook, can I take it out and check it is connected properly? Or is this only a feature of older portables?
    If anybody has any suggestions on how I can fix this I would really appreciate it.
    I am also still covered by Apple's Limited Warranty..

    If there was no such problem with your previous iPhone and no change after restoring your new iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, there is probably a hardware problem with your new iPhone. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • Wifi on Ipad and Iphone won't connect

    I have an iphone 4s and an ipad mini, both updated to iOS 7 and they both will not connect to wifi. They will connect when I am at home or at Starbucks etc., but not while I am at school. My phone did connect at school last year, but has not been able to connect this year. They will both say that I am connected, but when I go to use the internet it says I am not, even though it shows I am. The tech guys at my school have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas?

    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-netwhttp://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.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.
