My iPhone 4s connects to wifi networks, but internet own't work with password protected networks

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S.  I have been having issues with my wifi.  It works for several months, but one day for no reason I have been able to determine, the wifi stopped working.  It has been many weeks since it has worked.  I have tried several networks (home, work, relative's houses, etc...)
After visiting the Apple Genius Bar, I was told it was probably a software issue the wifi worked fine in the apple store on a unprotected network which showed that the wifi was able to function. It was recommended that I backup and then to a full reset to factory settings.
I did the backup and reset.  It has had no effect on my ability to use internet to secured networks.
I also updated the iOS to the most recent update ( 6.0.1) to see if that would help, but it didn't.
To summarize:
-iPhone connects to wifi networks
-Unable to use internet (or other data functions) while connected to a password protected wifi...but able to do so on unprotected networks.
-Already tried resetting network settings.
-Already tried resetting to factory settings.
-Already tried updating iOS.
Thanks

Might be a wifi router issue.  Try power cycling the router and/or updating it's firmware.  You might also try temporarily removing any security features until you get it sorted out.  If still an issue, it might be wifi on the iPhone itself... there have been many reports of wifi problems with iOS6.  Have you restored as new, i.e. without your backup?  You could also Google for ways to downgrade back to iOS5.
Regarding the Chipotle issue, go for the bowl instead of the burrito.

  • [SOLVED]wlan0 connects to wireless network, but internet does not work

    I have a Compaq Presario A900 laptop just installed Arch on it, went through the wireless Wiki and also checked this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65467 (similar issue but I don't use any proxy). It has Broadcom card, 4311 Rev 02. I tried both the b43-firmware and broadcom-wl AUR packages and b43 works with my card.
    I have tried with the shell to connect but "iwlist wlan0 scan" always returns no results. (Yes, I did try ifconfig eth0 down first as well before bringing wlan0 up). So I have tried wicd and it worked to connect me to my wireless network which uses WPA, and signal shows ~80% strength, however ping google.ca, nothing works as far as connected to the net.
    Any output I should show I will if I have forgotten, thanks very much for your help!

  • I have been unable make a FaceTime call with a 3G connection.  I get s message " You are not connected to wifi.". Does FaceTime only work with wifi?  It happened two different times, when calling a Mac laptop and an iPod which had wifi connections.

    I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection.  I get a message saying " You do are not
    connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?

    "I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection"
    Correct.
    "I get a message saying " You do are not connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?"
    Yes.

  • Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

    Hi,
    I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though.  Toggling the wifi setting clears
    the issue temporarily but it occurs again.  Running iOS 8.3 now.  This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well. 
    I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
    My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.  It is configured with all bands with the same name.
    All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
    My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands. 
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on?  This seems to solve a lot of problems.

  • 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.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

    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.

    Despite the connection indication you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Iphone not connecting to wi-fi but my ipad does

    iphone not connecting to wi-fi but my ipad does.same wi-fi but the iphone doesnt want to connect now for some reason

    Can your iPad connect to other Wi-Fi networks? If so, is it possible that you may have configured your AirPort to restrict access to the iPad by including the iPad's MAC address in the AirPort's Timed Access Control settings?
