My iphone 4s has trouble connecting to my home WIFI.

Unless im standing in my study i am unable to join my wifi network from anywhere in the house. Once i step out, i lose connection and im "unable to join wifi network". I can see my network pop up in wifi menu of the settings but when clicked i almost immediately get a message saying "unable to join wifi network".
I have had all the iphones up to the 4s and none have had this issue. Im using a netgear CVG824G modem and its cable. Currently there are laptops working fine off the wifi as well as an ipad 3.
I have tried everything i have found, reset network settings more than once, tried an airplane mode glitch i herd, i tried typing my wifi in rather then tapping it and my wifi is definitely turned on. I am open to any type of help so please if you have any idea let me know!
I highly appreciate you taking time to read this and if possible help!!
Thanks!!!

What you're looking at right now may very well be that your WiFi chip is broke; either that, or you have a pretty unexplainable technical issue. Take it to an Apple Store if you can. Ask them if there is an issue with 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 iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

Has anyone had trouble connecting to their home wifi

I can't connect to my home wifi. When I type in the password I receive a "cannot connect...." message. Everything else is working so it's not a router issue.

I had this problem. I restarted my router, unplug, wait about 2 minutes and plug it back in. Wait a few minutes until router stablizes and gets latest IP data from your internet provider.
Go into Wifi, forget your network.,
Select your network and sign in if you need to use a password. (You do use a password on your network don't you?)
Tap the blue arrow on your network in Wifi on the phone and set the proxy to Auto, not Off or Manual, unless you have a proxy setting you have set up on your network.
This worked for me.

TS1398 My iPhone 4 won't connect to my home WiFi, but all my other devices are connecting to it just fine. Please help!

Hey everyone, I have been having this problem for about a day or two now. I have an iPhone 4, and have iOS 7.1.2. Basically, my iPhone will connect to my home WiFi sometimes, but it randomly loses connection and won't connect for hours upon hours. I have tried turning it on and off multiple times as well as resetting the network settings. I know that it is not my network's problem because a member of my family has an iPhone 5S, and it works fine with the WiFi, along with all of my other devices. This issue is getting very annoying as I don't like to use my cellular data at home since it is limited. Please help me!!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
What happens when it fail to connect?
----- 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 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.

Iphone 5 has trouble connecting to wi-fi unless signal is very strong

It has been this way for a couple of years. No problem with the home router, but when we travel anywhere, both my wife's and my iphone 5 has often failed to find and connect to wifi (such as hotels, etc.) This last time though, we were with a group, and there were people with iphone 5', 4S, 6. and a few Galaxies. EVERYBODY could connect except us. I don't think 'Resetting the Network' is the answer, because there's no problem connecting to the networks we have identified (so why erase THEM?). Any ideas as to how we might improve signal acquisition? Thanks for any help you can give me.

2 phones doing same? Hmm. Full backup on iTunes then restore as new. Try other WiFi again. May be time for new equipment if that doesn't help

My ipad mini has stopped connecting to my home wifi. Have just got an iphone today and that connects OK and the house laptop still connects. Any suggestions to gt the ipad connected again

Have had an ipad mini for 6 months and it has been connecting perfectly to the home wifi but it has just stopped connecting this evening and all other devices seem to be OK.
Just got a new iphone today and wonder if that has had an effect but that is connecting OK as is my laptop.
Any help would be appreciated

Problem was fixed by rebooting the ipadmini using on/off switch on the side of the ipad
Got the advice from a related previous discussion

HT4623 iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wifi.

My iPhone 4 connects without issue, however my wife's new iPhone 5 just searches and cannot locate the wifi to connect to.

Make sure you update the iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.1 which just came out yesterday. It addresses problemsn with WiFi connections, especially if you are using encrypted WPA2 networks.
Also, check if your router manufacturer has a firmware update, especially if you have an older router that hasn't been updated in a long while.
Good luck, and report back.

Iphone 4GS will not connect to my home wifi?

Recently had SKY Broadband put in ... Iphone sees the network - I put in the password but then it says it cannot connect?

You're talking about connecting to your home router? If so, try rebooting the router by unplugging it for 30 seconds.

Why my iphone has poor connection with my home wifi when other smart phones ,don't?

I´ve tried everything!! I also had an experienced technitian to reset my router. Every single tip, was tried out, but I still having the same problem. I only get wifi conjnection when I am very close to the router. Also, If I leave the house, when I am back , the phone is not abble to find the wifi. One of my friends has a galaxy smartphone and it works just fine. I am very desapointed !

My wife's iPhone 5 is have the same kinda issue with her wifi. After update to iOS 7.0.2, all of a sudden, the wifi just *****! It drops out at home and is unable to locate any networ when in fact there are 6 in my neighborhood including the three of my own. Not only wouldn't it connect for very long while at my parents house, it was unable to locate the network. I've tried everything to no avail. After I do a restore, I'm going to give Apple a call tomorrow to see what they say....

My iPhone 4 has no connection in my home. I think it's because something is fried. Do you have anyway of fixing it!

I don't really know how to dissemble a iPhone.

No connection to what?
Asking for help without providing specifics is really just a waste of everyones time.
Also, the iPhone is not user servicable.

My iphone 5 is not connecting to my home wifi any ideas?

iphone connects to wifi at office but not at home, tried resetting phone and router but to no effect, all suggestions appreciated

It's strange that your iphone connects to wifi at office but not at home. I experienced this wifi problem twice. The first time was when i upgraded to ios 6 and the second was when I replaced my iphone 5. At any rate, try this:
1. Turn airplane mode on (this is important).
2. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
You will need to type in your wifi password. Hope this works for you!
