Iphone 5s connected to Wifi but still circle is processing next to it

Hi. My HTC M8 is working fine using home WiFi but Iphone 5s doesn't.
Sometimes it has got to log in to router back again, so i restart router and it helps but other times which is more common it's showing connection to WiFi but it also showing circle icon processing next to it. Is it just showing that it is using the the internet or does the circle mean something else?

  • My apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari and other websites..can some1 help me out?

    my apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari,itunes and other websites. the ip address is not strtng wid 169 and i have reset the network settings also..can some one help me out

    The 169 IP address mans it did not correctly negotiate with the router:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    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 your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 4s connects to wifi but internet doesn't work. Driving me mental, help!!

    Been having issues with phone for the last few months, it cuts out the internet 2/3 times a night and I have to reboot the wifi. I originally thought it was the wifi (which it possibly still is) and got a new router, but now the phone connects to wifi but the internet won't work at all. I've looked on a few other posts about changing the DNS but it hasn't helped. We have a few other devices in the house which connect to the internet perfectly, so I really don't know what the issue is. Someone please help!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, KK93. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue.  However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

    Also, see the article below to make sure the router setting have been optimized for performance.

  • My iPhone wont connect to wifi but iPad and other devices do

    Can someone help...my iPhone wont connect to wifi yet iPad and other iPhone will connect

    Can someone help...my iPhone wont connect to wifi yet iPad and other iPhone will connect

  • My iPhone 4S shows that I am connected to wifi, but still shows 4G and not the bars for wifi.

    I have been using my iPhone 4S for one year and has been working perfectly fine until now. I connect it to wifi and it shows the blue check, showing I am supposed to be connected, but at the top, where the 4G network shows, it stays at 4G and does not show the bars for the wifi. It only connects to the one home network I have. When I am connected to the home wifi, it kicks me off the wifi everytime I put my phone on standby--> lock it after I am done using it. It also kicks me off my home wifi occasionally, when I am in the middle of using it, and have to recconect it. If I go to a store, for example, JcPenny, I try to connect it to the wifi there and it shows the blue check, and like I said, the 4G network does not change to the wifi bars. Please try to help me!

    You are detecting the wifi, but not connected to it.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Iphone 5s connect to wifi but not 3g any help

    My iPhone 5s cannot connect to the internet via 3g or 4g. But when I go on to wifi I am able to connect to the internet ok. Any help please. thanks

    Have you contacted your cell/mobile provider? Since you can connect via WiFi, the next place to look is your carrier's network.

  • My iPhone 5 connects to wifi but shows one bar on the wifi signal meter but my iPad2 and Macbook Air both show full wifi bars when all three are side by side next to my apple router. Do I have an antenna problem with my iPhone 5?

    It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router.  Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time.  Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings. 

    Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
    If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
    If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
    Try the following, it may help:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

  • My iPhone is connected to WiFi but i dont have WiFi in my house? please help

    I just bought my iPhone 4 yesterday and it connected to a WiFi connection but its not mine nor did I buy a WiFi adapter. Why is my iPhone telling me I have a WiFi Connection even though its not mine. If I use this so called WiFi connection will it count toward my GB's Plan. For the record i never signed up for WiFi with my provider. Its giving me Cisco13701 as a wiFi connection but its not mine? Why is my IPhone doin this? Please get back to me ASAP. Thanx.

    It's perfectly fine to use others Wi-Fi connections if they're open, hacking into a connection though is not. Your iPhone connected into a open Wi-Fi conneciton which is perfectly free to use, Though using it could be considered rude and theres always the chance that the owner of the Wi-Fi connection can track your cookies etc and see what you were on.(That can also allow them to login to your private accounts such as email or social networking sites) I would reccomend only using Wi-Fi connections that belong to you or that you trust.

  • My iphone is connecting to wifi but then disconnecting from it and not allowing me to do anything

    Hi blaze469,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is getting disconnected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. 
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • IPhone shows connection with wifi, but I do not have the ability to do anything that requires internet

    When I first unlock my iPhone, it says I have connection to internet. But when I do something that requires internet, it either does not load, or it gives me a connection error message. I just got this phone yesterday from my mom and she barley used it. I have tried factory resetting it but it wont let me.

  • My iphone connect to wifi, but it wont use it. How do i fix it?

    My IPhone 4 connects to wifi, but it does not use it, it refers back to 3G.

    Probably because there is no internet connection on the Wifi, because it will default to 3G if it can't get a connection.
