IPhone has no wifi option, only WLAN

Under Setting in my iphone 4 (in China), I have no wifi option, only WLAN.  And the WLAN is not picking up any of the wifi networks that my husbands wifi picks up fine.  His phone has an option for wifi instead of WLAN.  Software update says I'm up to date, have tried restarting it a number of times.  What should I do?

Did you setup the iPhone or a store/carrier, etc?
Do you have very much material or content added to the iPhone?
If you have not added much if anything, and are comfortable resetting up the iPhone, an option is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings so the iPhone is back to factory, pristine condition and then set it all up again.  Unless there is something strange with this iPhone or the iOS on it, that should revert to the Apple iOS build.
But first, have you tried going to that sequence and selecting Reset Network Settings instead of the full erase?

  • My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my  computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

    Be aware that, if these don't work, you may have a hardware problem with your iPhone.

    I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet.

    Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

  • My iPhone 4S's wifi option has turned grey. Refuses to work. Suggestions on how to fix this?

    My iPhone 4S is just over a year old, recently I haven't been able to grab a wifi connection, then the situation escalated where now I am unable to even switch the wifi on. The entire option has greyed out. Really appreciate suggestions, on how to fix this.

    Considering only a small number of users out of the millions of iPhones sold have the issue, I would say Apple does a pretty darn good job at quality control.
    Like with any product, there will always be some devices that suffer a hardware failure.

  • My iPhone 3 (4.3.3) has no Wifi option at all under settings.

    My boss just gave me his old iPhone 3 with the software updated to 4.3.3
    I can't find an option to access local wifi anywhere on the phone.
    Under settings the first 3 options are:
    Airplane Mode
    Location Services
    Carrier
    then it goes on to sounds, brightness, wallpaper, etc.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for any help!

    Where did your boss originally obtain this 3GS? The original 3GS's sold in China(16GB & 32GB) do not have a WiFi setting.

  • IPhone 3GS has no Wifi option

    Instead of the usual Wifi menu in the settings menu, it is replaced by Personal Hotspot which is also greyed out. It is on 5.0.1. It can connect to 3G perfectly fine however.

    I'd recommend a restore and update in that case, backup the device, and then select to restore and update which will erase all the content and software from the device (why we always backup first) and then install the latest software version.
    If even that doesn't fix it; Take it too Apple

  • My Iphone has "NO WIFI"

    When I go to my phone setting, I cannot even turn on or off my phone's Wifi. The WiFi tab is in gray. Should I return my phone? Can it be fixed??

    Au Sai,
    I would recomend contacting your local Apple Retail store's Genius Bar, or contacting AppleCare to arrange service for your iPhone.
    Hope this helps,

  • My replacement iPhone has NO WIFI

    My old iPhone's touchscreen randomly died (stopped responding to touch in the bottom 1/3rd of the screen) and was dutifully replaced by Apple, for which I am grateful.
    They replaced the phone with a new one and it works OK except for the fact that I have absolutely no WiFi. I was able to use my old phone at the office and at home, and I would always get WiFi pop up messages whenever a new network came in range.
    Now I have no indication that the phone even supports WiFi. Never detects any network, and if I go to the settings page, the WiFi setting is grayed out saying "No Wi-Fi".
    Any suggestions as to what the problem may be? I want to avoid brining the phone back into the store again.
    FYI: As soon as I got the phone I ran the 1.01 upgrade and did a full restore from the backup of my old phone.

    Ok. So I did a restore from a computer at work, and after that Wi-Fi was working. When I brought it to my home laptop, I couldn't sync - which was expected, different iTunes instances, etc.
    So I restored again using my home computer, which is always a pain as I have zero ATT reception at home. So I walk outside to activate after the restore. After a long walk to the one area with AT&T coverage in my small home town of Manhattan, NY I huddle around with the 75 other iPhone owners vying for reception in the known-good-reception radius of 12ft... Eventually, iPhone is activated. Immediately, iPhone hangs. I reset by holding down both buttons.
    iPhone comes back on an NO WIFI.

  • My Iphone has no privacy option in Safari (iOS7)

    I bought the phone through Virgin Mobile and I'm not sure if they blocked the privacy option or if it was a faulty update to iOS7 or what. Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks for the reply, but I've already got that switched on. Tried switching off too.
