There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do.

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do. Mine will connect to other networks. I have rebooted the router and the phone, reset Network Settings, deleted the wifi network and reinstated it. Can anyone please help?

Good day Telbuoy,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5s is not connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've done a good job of isolating this behavior to your iPhone and home Wi-Fi router.
There are a few more steps that I'd suggest trying next:
Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version using the steps in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Make sure your router is using the settings in Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router. (from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network)

IPod 4th Gen will no longer connect to my home wifi, what can I do?

This problem started recently, I would arrive home, take my iPod off airplane mode (and yes, wifi did turn on) but my iPod would just not connect to my home wifi. I went to wifi>choose a network and manually selected my network but when I did, it would say "Unable to joine the network 'network name'". This problem slowly got worse: when I would wake up in the mornings or after not using my iPod for a long period of time, the same issue would occur! Usually it would take at least an hour if i was lucky of consatant retrying before, miraculously, it would connect. That was, up until yesterday though, when it would just simply not connect and display the message. I have tried almost everything I could think of: forgetting the network, restarting the iPod, restarting the modem/router (its an all in one setup), and even resetting the iPod but it just won't work, so now i'm stuck with a wiped iPod that just won't connect. One last thing, all my other wireless devices (iPad, PS3, laptop) work just fine and my iPod can connect to other networks. Please help me as I use my iPod very frequently and can't even restore to iCloud back-up.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
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
- 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My phone will no longer connect with my home wifi network

any advice, all of a sudden I only get 3G service in my home while my laptop, printer, and wifes Kindle still are able to connect to the wifi network. Anyone ever seen this?
I reenter the password to the network and the phones still dont connect.
Thoughts?

Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. If this doesn't solve the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.

My Mac will no longer connect to my home Internet.

This is frustrating.
My MacBook pro laptop, purchased in September, will no longer connect to my home Internet through wi-fi. It was working fine this morning, but now when I attempt to connect, it asks me for my password. I type in the correct password, hit enter, and it does it's business for thirteen seconds before saying connection failed. It was working literally eight hours ago. My brothers much older MacBook is connecting, my iPhone had connected... I cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have a solution or a method for me to fix it?

Open network preferences, forget the network, then try to re connect with it! Otherwise, try turning off the modem, waiting 10seconds and truning back on. This may just help to clear the cache.

TS1398 After updating to ios 6 my iphone 4 would no longer connect to my home wifi. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password. However my wifi at home is password protected. I have the right password. It works on my ipod touc

After updating my iphone 4 with the ios 6 update. My iphone would no longer connect to my home wifi that is password protected. I know that I have the right password entered in. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password and I can connect no problem to it. My ipod touch has no problem connecting to my home wifi. It is a 3rd gen ipod and does not have the ios 6 update on it. Please help!

I'm having the same issues. Started when I upgraded iphone 4S and ipad1 to 5.1.1. Wife's iphone 4g on 4.4.2 has been ok. I've forgot the network on both devices and restored the iphone, none of which changed the issue. I've upgraded to ios 6 on the iphone 4s, problem still persists.
One thing that will help for a time: go to your router and change the wireless control channel. When I first did this I got full connectivity for about 48 hours... and now the problem is back. I'm now changing the wireless control channel every 12 hours, which is a pain but at least keeps me connected. I've tried a few other solutions that are out there and that has been the best one so far.
to do this on a motorola router: type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar.
username: admin and password:motorola if you have not changed the factory defaults.
Click on the word "wireless" and look for the "control channel" field. This may be set to auto or to 1, try changing it to 6 or 11 (preferred) or any other channel.
The control channel can cause static in the wireless system IF there are several networks nearby that are on the default setup.
There is a fair bit of buzz about this issue out there, some other things I've seen:
This is a hardware issue. Go to the store and have your wifi antenna checked, some users reporting that they get free replacement devices.
Check against other wifi networks that require a password (this is next for me). Logon to those networks and surf until your wifi stops. If your wifi connects to the internet but stops responding, then this is a software (or hardware) issue and apple needs to step up. Some are claiming this to be the case.
IF you connect and stay connected/on the internet on another password protected wifi, then the issue is with your router. this is where things get cute.
Comcast may tell you to update your firmware. Motorola may tell you that your cable provider is the only one who can push through firmware updates. Comcast may tell you that you are not in an area that is being updated. It's unclear if they say that to all customers, or just those who have purchased cable modems and aren't renting them from comcast.
Good luck, more to come if I figure out anything else, and please post any solutions you may find.

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

5C will no longer connect to my home network, but all other devices do.

We had a service interuption and lost the wifi network at home for a while. When the network came back my 5C will no longer connect to the network, even though all of the other devices will. It will connect to wifi on other networks. I reset the router first. On my phone I have updated to the latest IOS, shut the phone off, forgotten the network, reset the network settings and reset the phone settings. Still will not connect to the network. It acts like it is trying but never makes it. I do not recieve an error message of any sort. What is the next step?

My iPad no longer connects to my home wifi

I have an iPad 3 with wifi and cellular connectivity. The iPad is always left on and connected to my home wifi. This morning I picked it up and launched safari but it wasn't connected to my wifi. It can locate the the network, but will not connect. I've reset my network settings, removed the network and then added again with the pass code for my wifi but still no joy. I don't think it's a problem with my wifi or router as my iPhone connects without any issues! Any ideas?

Found post on here that like calling the oldest tech support line ever it said switch off your router for 10 minutes and try again. As I was at the end of my tether I thought I'd give it a try.
It worked perfectly, now my iPad 3 reconnects and my iPhone 4S hasn't been affected either. Result!
FYI router is a Netgear and iAd and iPhone are both running IOS 6.0.1

Why can I no longer connect to my home WIFI

Hi All
This is my first post and I know from searching online for the last week or so for a solution that this has been a problem for others before. I have tried all of the proposed solutions I have found including, resetting the network settings, resetting all settings, turning the wifi on and off, manually enterring information used within another phone on the manual element of the wifi setup.
I still cannot connect my phone to my home WIFI despite it being conencted for over a year with no problems, and also having other iphones, laptops and Ipads that can connect.
The phone that wont connect can still pick up other WIFI networks and barely finds my home WIFI.
I would really appreciate some help with this as we rely on the WIFI due to not picking up great 3G in my area.
Thanks in advance.
Mark

I have had the same issue many times with Apple products (Mac, Macbook Pro, IPad) when I have been travelling (hotel, restaurant, coffee shop etc. wifi) or using an "off-site" wifi system. The solutions seems to be to unplug your router from the wall and wait about 10-seconds than plug the unit back in. Works everytime for me.

TS1398 since I downloaded the IEO 7.2 my phone will no longer connect or find available wifi

I downloaded the IOS 7.2 and since doing that my phone will not connect to available WIFI that it used to before the upgrade. I even reset all settings, reentered the wifi network and password and nothing.

I am having the same problem. I have a couple of friends who said that they put their phones in the freezer for an hour to cool them down and after that it worked perfectly ever since. I triend it and my wifi worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped working again so its not 100% sure but its worth a try. good luck.
