IPhone will not connect to WiFi

My iPhone will not locate my wifi even though all other devices connect to it no problem. It's like the network isn't even there.
This happens every couple of weeks and I have to go to settings -> general -> reset -> reset network settings and then it works again. I guess this is a bug having to do with too many stored networks? Why doesn't apple fix it?
Today the usual solution didn't work and neither a hard reset.
How can I fix this? Thanks.

If no change after resetting network settings, try restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after doing this, more than likely there is a hardware failure. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

    my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

    Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
    Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup.  However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.

    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.

  • My Iphone will not connect to WIFI

    My iphone has worked fine with no problems connecting to the internet through WIFI. Recently my home network would not connect. the network shows up on the wifi search I click connect I type in the Network password and it says incorrect password.
    I checked my router settings and even removed the WEP security and changed the network to none, so even when i try and connect it says...unable to connect to this network. I have also tried to connect to other wifi networks at different locations and they also don't work.
    I have restored my iphone and still no change, I have also restored the network settings and still nothing...
    can anyone help?

    The normal way to approach this on home networks is to
    1) Reboot the router by pulling out the power cord
    2) reset the iPhone's network settings - Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3) When your iPhone restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
    If you removed security on your router, reboot it before you try and connect to it. If you get it working, use WPA2 when you put security back on your network. WEP is highly vulnerable to cracking.

  • WiFi is not working after iOS6 update. iPad and iPhone will not connect to WiFi.

    Step1: Turn off your phone.
    Step2: Unplug the router from supply.and turning off is different. So unplug it.
    Step3: turn on router and phone back.
    Try connecting now; which should work ....

  • TS1398 iPhone will not connect to wifi hotspot even when other iphones at the same loaction does.

    I have been to serveral malls and restaurants that have free wifi.  I can connect using my iPad.  Other around me can connect with there iPhones.  My iPhone4s goes to the login screen, which is blank.  After a couple of minutes, it errors out and says "Hotspot login could not open ....".  What is interesting, is that on the devices that do connect, the login screen is not blank and it says it is trying to connect to 192.168.33.1.  My iPhone states it is trying to connect to iBook.info or appleiphonecell.com.  What the heck is going on? This happened on iOS 6 and now on iOS7.

    Not a personal hotspot problem.  I have never used this feature nor want to.

    I have experienced this over the last few days. You see the problem is that my phone says that it is connected to my wifi and my data network but then i go to the web or get on a app that requires Internet and it says that I have no Internet connection. Please help me you guys, I have went to apple and they told me nothing is wrong and the something happens. I have an iPhone 4 and it is black, Thanks in advanced:)

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

    I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

    My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
    I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
    I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
    what do i do?

    If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

  • I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imac connects to time capsule through wifi but ipad and iphone will not connect

    I just installed the new Airport Time Capsule.  My Imac connects fine through wifi bit my ipad and iphone will not connect to the wifi.  They appear in the wifi settings in the devices but will not connect.  I have reset modem and time capsule and tried forget network and nothing is working.  ANy assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks

    So I called apple support being fairly certain that I wasn't going to be able to fix this over the phone but essentially, it now works flawlessly with my iOS devices. Here is what I did.
    I have a Motorola cable modem surfboard 6421.
    I reset my network settings to dhcp and NAT from the default bridge only mode which the tech said only allows one device to connect at a time. Considering my MBA was already connected to the AE, that would explain why my other iOS devices wouldn't connect. After I changed the settings for the network to DHCP and NAT, the router restarted. I then disconnected the power and coaxial cable from the cable modem and reconnected it and once everything came back up, all devices connected fine. Good throughout and signal. Hope this helps.

    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.
