IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

    My iPhone 4s will not connect to my home wireless router. I have 2 other iPhones and an iPad which are connected fine. Help!!

    Ilindafrommilford,
    You might want to re-post your question in the iPhone subforum. By accident, you ended up in the iPhone forum.
    Good luck finding your router!

    my iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days sometimes the wifi turns on other time no often then not it will not turn on could u help ?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the problem is still not resolved, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    Verizon does not provide hardware support, taking the device to them would be a waste of time.

  • 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?

  • New iphone 4s will not connect to home wifi.  Says password is incorrect, but it is not.

    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.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. and iPhone 4 will not connect to home Wifi.  No issues anywhere else, just at home.  iPhone 6 had the same problem, but was able to correct with network reset.  Tried absolutley everything the boards say and nothing works.  Help.

    Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset.  Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password.  No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi.  Only the iPod and an iPhone 4.  My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network.  This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone.  Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do.  Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it.  And both are operating on the latest iOS update.  I just updated it.  Still doesn't work.  How crazy.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before? no
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:  (Not clear what you did)          
    - 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
    - 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 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. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

  • 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!!!!

  • HT201210 Iphone 4s will not update to iOS 7.  Says an error occurred.  I have to plug my phone into the computer also because it will not connect to home wifi.  All other devices will connect to wifi though.  I have enough storage to update also.

    My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7.  I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi.  I've tried several different things but nothing is working.  I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage.  When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it.  It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message.  Do I need the iphone 5?

    I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac.  Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error.  It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works.  I have an apple airport extreme router too.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Iphone 5 not connecting to home wifi

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 not connecting to my home wifi. This is a recent (just today) issue, it has been connecting with no problem for over 2 years and remembering the password.
    Today
    It sees my SSID, if I click on it I get asked for the password - I enter the password (checked with my router settings and correct), and I get the message:
    "Incorrect Password for "SSID" (name changed)
    What I have done:
    1. I have rebooted the phone (failed to fix)
    2. I have reset my Network settings on the phone (failed to fix & mashed all my email settings)
    3. I have backed up my phone to iTunes (BUT NOT RESTORED IT - YET)
    4. I have rebooted my (netgear DGN1000 router) (failed to fix).
    5. I have reset my router to factory settings, and whilst set with factory resets, tried to connect my phone (phone failed to recognise the default password)
    6. I have reset my SSID and password to my preferences.
    7. I reset my wireless encryption to "disable", and get message on the phone "Unable to join the network "SSID" (the lock icon disappeared off my phone)
    8. I reset the encryption, the lock icon re-appeared, and I get message "Incorrect password..."
    9. Other items: ipad air, Kindle Fire HD, iPhone 4 - all connect to the wifi with no problems, did before and still do now.
    10 Been to the O2 store (O2 are my provider), and the phone connected to their In Store wifi with no issues (they say no fault on phone)
    11. I have rung Virgin media (my landline & internet provider) and they have checked my router settings (they are OK) and advise me they can't help with the phone as it's "..an unsupported device.."
    Stuck now! &

    zolala:
    Virgin media is my internet provider, and I have rung them too; They talked me through the router settings, but the iPhone is "unsupported".
    My router settings are correct.
    Can you explain "...are you using Apple Airport Extreme for hm network?..." please?
    raymond73:
    I have an "old Dlink GSL624" and I dug this out, but can't find the factory code for the passphrase (I had to reset to factory default)
    If nothing else works, I'll get onto Virgin media and threaten to move isp unless they send me a new router. I have been with them for - well the days of dial up - well over 10 years probably.
    I am currently restoring the iPhone to its factory default. I will set up as a new phone to test, and IF it works, I'll then restore to backup - If it stops working after this, I'll have to copy all my contacts somehow, and then start from scratch again.
    Any idea how I can copy just my contacts somewhere I can restore them from easily?
    Thanks

    Are you using MAC address filtering on your router/modem?

  • IPhone will not connect to my wifi.

    I cannot get my phone to connect to my own wifi connection.  Had this phone since November with no problems, now all of a sudden it will not connect.
    Try to reset, but it still will not connect.  I am using the correct password.  Any suggestions?

        Hello Iterry, Wifi is definitley an important feature! You mentioned you tried a Reset which means you're defintiely on the right path!  Elector provideda great link for troubleshooting the iPhone, as well! Let's try a few additional steps to make sure we get your Wifi connected.  While there are many reset options for your iPhone 5C, we do recommend starting with a "Reset of Network Settings" to help in resolving Wifi connection concerns. Here is a link with the steps: http://vz.to/Qt1HVR. Also, have you been able to test the phone with multiple available  Wifi Networks? Keep us posted - we're here to help.

  • IPod touch 2nd generation will not connect to home wifi

    My ipod touch 2nd generation will not connect to the internet. I am using a BT modem and this is a new problem. Until recently, I had no problem with this connection and it will connect to BT Fon and BTOpenworld. I just cannot get it to connect at home any more. I also use a macbook pro and this is connected to the bt modem.

    You should post this in the iPod Touch forum.  This is the iPod Shuffle forum.

  • Brand new iPod touch will not connect to home wifi

    Monday I got a brand new iPod 4 to replace my previous one, as the home button had failed unexpectedly. The new iPod is working fine, running the latest iOS but when I try to connect our secure home wifi, it won't accept the password. We have reset the password and I've reset network settings. I'm so frustrated, because everything else connects to the wifi BUT my iPod will not take our correct password. What can I do? Should I take it back to Apple? I'm already annoyed by having to get a new iPod. The last one connected just fine but now this one won't.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - 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

  • Ipod touch 5g will not connect to home wifi

    Hello there! I have this problem where my ipod touch wil not let me connect to my home wifi. When I try to join, a message will pop up saying "incorrect password". I know for sure that the password is 100% right. My ipod touch had no problems connecting to the internet a few months ago, but lately many of the apps that required internet would not load even with 3 bars of signal. Therefore, this is when I decided to rest the network settings. Biggest mistake. Now it won't even let me connect to the internet. I have tried everything. Holding the home button and power button together until apple logo pops up. Updating the software to ios 6.1.3, physically turning my ipod on and off, even the modem and reseting the network settings on ipod.
    Will restoring my ipod back to factory settings work?
    Thank you! It will be appreciated.
