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

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...

    We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
    my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.

  • Iphone not connecting to home wifi

    Since I have upgraded to os6 for my iphone it takes forever to find and connect to my home wifi.  It just took me about 40 mins. At first the phone doesn't even see the network, it doesnt see any networks in the area so I cant select it and check the settings on it. Then out of the blue it just connects. It's not a router problem because it happens all the time now regardless of whether i reboot it or not and my laptop is connected and I can connect with other devices ipod touch and laptop. Help please??

    I am watching for the same solution, Hours of talk to an Apple Representative. There is also a back up problem and Bluetooth pairing problem with mine. It all started on December 5th. There is suppose to be an update to IOS 6 soon to fix these problems.
    Best wishes and let ne know if you will.

  • New ipod touch 4th gen wont connect to home wifi livebox?

    Hi I bought a new ipod touch yesterday 4th generation iOS5, I haven't been able to connect it to my home wifi at all.

Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried resetting network settings/restarting it/restoring it etc etc but nothing works.

  • 8520 wont connect to home wifi

    Please help.
    I cant get my daughters 8520 to connect to our home wifi.
    I have searched and found my wifi,saved it and it says connected.
    But when i click on the browser button it says unable to connect or sometimes just a blank white screen.
    I have followed the setup advice but no joy.

    I had the same issue with my own 8520. Is your daughter on a contract that includes data? When i upgraded my contract to get a data allowance an upgrade came down on my phone that allowed wifi access. 

  • My iphone 5 is not connecting to my home wifi any ideas?

    iphone connects to wifi at office but not at home, tried resetting phone and router but to no effect, all suggestions appreciated

    It's strange that your iphone connects to wifi at office but not at home. I experienced this wifi problem twice. The first time was when i upgraded to ios 6 and the second was when I replaced my iphone 5. At any rate, try this:
    1. Turn airplane mode on (this is important).
    2. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    You will need to type in your wifi password. Hope this works for you!

  • Why my use iPhone cannot connect to home wifi in China?

    I have just visited China, city of nanjing. Was staying at friends house, home has a wifi router connected to China Telecom modem. No matter how i tried, i just could not connect to the internet.Anybody got solutions to it?Tried using a iphone 4 and 4s.

    not sure its still of any use, but I found I have to reset the china telecom modem (not the router) so that when it starts, the devices are already there and accepted for internet connection. I have that problem and need to reset my modem every day when I get home

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    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
    - 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.

  • 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?
