IPhone 5s can't connect to Home-Wifi?

Hello I have a iPhone 5s gold 16GB AT&T and it's not able to connect to my home-wifi.
I got it Dec 24, 2013. It was always able to connect to my old wifi with (WEP, default name, default password, no encryption)
I now have a new Wifi Network which has very high security compared to my old one. My wireless provider is Comcast, Salinas.
My new wireless network info is: (HOME-8752, WPA2-Personal, Encryption Type: AES, 16-character network security key, Federal Information Processing Standards: Disabled). My HP Pavilion g6 laptop and PS3 can connect to the WiFi perfectly fine, while my iPhone 5s cannot. Can someone please help me? I've already called Comcast about my PC WiFi not working and it works now, but my iPhone 5s doesn't work.
Also, a bit of a side-question but if anyone knows should I enable FIPS, what is it? Does that affect my iPhone 5s? Does FIPS make it more secure? From what I've read it's for government affiliates. Not sure though.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

My iphone 4s is not connecting to home wifi!

My iphone 4s doesn't show my home wifi in the settings, yet my laptop and an old ipod touch of mine are both connected to the home wifi.
This happens in my room, and for my iphone to recognize my home wifi, I have to leave my room and move closer to the router. I had recently gotten a new, stronger home router and my room is the farthest room away from the router, so at first I thought that was the reason. But it just does not make sense that my laptop is connected with the signal strength listed as "fair" and an older ipod touch(which has IOS 3.1.3) is also connected to my wifi, yet all three devices are right next to each other.
I've tried turning the wifi on and off in the settings, I've turned off my phone so many times, and I've also resetted my phone and using icloud to back it up. Nothing is working, and I've been wanting to reset my phone completely and restarting it as a new phone, but I thought I should ask for an option on what I should do.
please help!

Same thing, but my wifi button is greyed out!
After reinstalling to factory settings for some strange reason, still having ios 6.
And still no wifi!

My IPhone and iPad stopped connecting to home wifi. Other devices still connect.

My Iphone and IPad just stopped connecting to home Wifi; other divices still work including my IMac

Try resetting your wireless router and modem.
Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait 5 minutes followed by reconnecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before reconnecting the wireless router to the power source.

Iphone 4s cannot auto connect to home wifi after updating to ios 6.1.2

My iphone 4s will not auto connect to my home wifi after updating to IOS 6.1.2. I can manually connect to my phone to wifi but it will get disconnect if I'mnot using the phone. Any way to reslove?

Once the phone goes into sleep mode, it is supposed to auto disconnect from wifi to save battery. Are you saying that once you wake the phone up it will not auto connect at that time?
Suggest you try and forget the network, then go in and try the reset network settings again and then try to rediscover the network and connect again. Have you tried to do a reset of the phone, but holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release?

Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

Our home wifi appears to be working fine. Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble. However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect. It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect. We reset our wireless hub but that did not help. I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice. I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones. This has got to be an issue with the new software.

IPhone 5 no longer connecting to home wifi after adding new iPhone 5s

I just bought my husband a new iPhone 5s and successfully connected it to our home wifi; however, now my iPhone 5 won't connect. All other home devices will connect without an issue. I've tried Reseting the Network Setting on my iPhone and that does not work. It first gives me a message that states it is "unable" to connect to the network, then when I try again, it says the password is incorrect (and it is not). I'ver tried turning my router off and on again as well. Is there a way to just set an IP address maybe?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

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!!!!

MacBook Pro 2010 Can't Connect To Home Wifi

Hey,
My home was setup with a Cisco Linkysys wireless router (about 2 years old) and at the time the iMac that was hardwired to the router and other devices like an iPod/ iPhone and a Nintendo DS etc. would be able to access the home network. I arrive now (to the parents home) and can't seem to gain access to the network. I was able to connect once and use the internet but the next day couldn't connect again. We've confirmed many times the password is correct, reset the linkysys router and tried again but failed. I would see the router and have full or high signal but upon entering I would get either an "Invalid password" or "Connection timedout" error response. I also tried Network Diagnostics and Assistant walk throughs under the Assit Me... button but didn't work. I've also tried choosing the network in Network Preferences under the drop down menu Network Name and entering the password there but to no avail.
Then recently got another wireless router (Airport Extreme, I figured I we could use another one for the home anyway) yesterday, and did the setup and other devices and the hardwired iMac all can connect and use the internet off of it. I am currented hardwired to it via ethernet and all though I am right next to the new Apple router, and have full bars, I can't connect. The most I have gotten was being connected with full bars for a few moments and then the exclamation point coming up in the Airport icon. BTW, for the past 2 days I have been connecting to free wifi at another public place so I'm really not sure what is going on. Both networks (the Linksys created one and now the Apple one) are protected via WPA2 Personal. My notebook is only a year old show that should be fine too, no?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a trouble shooting dead end from my mind's perspective.
Thanks,
Brian

I have the same issue. Was working fine until Saturday when Rogers reset my modem because we lost our internet connection. Our modem is direct connected to our PC and we connec with the Macbook through wifi.
When the modem rebooted we got an IP error and they had to do a renew and release. Since then - no wifi on macbook.
every time we try to join our home network it gives a password wrong error. The password is not wrong. Airport is a solid yellow light. Ethernet is red.
I am not great with macs and I have scoured the net and I cannot figure this out

Just upgraded to ISO8 and now my iphone 4s won't connect to home wifi - keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when it's not - help please.......

Please help me - I've just upgraded my Iphone 4s to ISO8 and now I can't connect to wifi - was at my friends yesterday - always use his wifi and even though the password was correct, it wouldn't accept it. Came home and had the same problem. I can't use my data plan as it wouldn't be enough so now it's chewing through it.........The only thing I did different was upgrade......... I'm not computer savy so please leave me step by step instruction on how to fix if you can. I've tried rebooting etc and turning everything off - no luck.......

Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Then select Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your password when it requests it
After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
Good luck!

I can't connect to home wifi on 8.3!

I have an iPhone 5s, and recently updated to iOS 8.3. Now I'm having trouble with my internet. Before I updated, my wifi would randomly connect and disconnect, but it wasn't that much of a problem. Now, I can't connect at all. Under my networks, My home wifi comes up, but it won't join when I put the password in. I have reset my network settings, and for about 5 minutes, it worked. Now it's back to not working. I hate using up all my data!!!
Another thing, ever since I got this phone, I have never to my LTE connection to come up. I know it should, because the other two cell phones in the house , the LTE works fine. Any suggestions???

Installed IOS7 for IPad~now can't connect to home WiFi, but worked @Library.So IOS7 doesn't like Sky Yahoo

For days I have been unable to use my IPAD except to view what is already there. I downloaded IOS7 and all was ok for about a week but suddenly one morning I woke up to find that my gadget doesn't want to connect WiFi via my home provider. This happens to be Sky Yahoo. So, short of changing providers, I don't know what to do. Only purchased my IPAD 2 in June this year but am already wishing that I had chosen the Samsung Galaxy Note. (it was a close call).The tech guys in the shop have tried to help but as soon as I am out of range of the shop I am back to square one. Called in at my local library today and had no problem connecting to their WiFi.
Can i "uninstall" IOS7 or is there a way round this problem before I go crazy? This is being sent from my laptop, obviously. Any and all help gratefully accepted.....especially if it works.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
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.
Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

IPhone 5 not automatically connecting to home wifi.

I passed on my iPhone 5 to my son, he's still with the same network as me but it is not connecting to the home wifi, whereas I have a strong connection on my iPhone 6 and iPad. He is lucky to get 3G, most of the time it is only GPRS. I have tried reseting the network settings but makes no difference, help please?

Please help new iphone 4s from verizon will not connect to my home wifi. I was able to connect to my sister's home wifi without any issues tonight, but now at my home and says password is incorrect. The password is correct. I have an ipod touch gen 2 that connects with no problems.

make sure your home wireless network is not "hidden." Settings -> Wi-Fi -> select your home network, it it's hidden, select "other" and manually type in the network name, password, and select security type.
