Hi jazznola9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several steps you can take when troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity on an iPhone and it sounds like you have already done a few of them already. In your situation I would recommend reading over and working through the steps listed in the attached article.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Have a great day,

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

Press and hold down the top corner power button and the round home button until you see the Apple then LET GO OF EVERYTHING!!

iPhone 4 Modem Firmware : 3.0.04
iPhone 4S Modem Firmware : 2.0.10
Wifi is working on my iPhone 4, NOT on 4S -
Why is my new 4S I got yesterday using a 2.0.10 firmware, isn't that old?! Isn't the newest 4.0+?
I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

Iphone 4 will not connect to wifi

iphone 4 has not been connecting to wifi, I have restarted and have all updates? Was charged extra for last months overage. No explanantion

Okay, why is it not connecting? Any errors?
Are the Wi-Fi networks detected?
No offense, but no one cares if you were charged for overages or not, nothing that we can do about that.

Helllpp! My iphone 4s will not connect to wifi!

Ever since I downloaded ios 7 my wifi has not been working. At first i was quite annoyed but just used 3G instead. But 3G is costing too much so want to sort my wifi out now. I have tried almost everything that all these websites have been saying to do like reseting the iphone, going into airplane mode even heating it up with a hairdryer and cooling it in the freezer afterwards and the wifi is still not connecting! Has anyone got any other suggestions for me to do?

If you tried all the suggestions in this article iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim and setting it up as new device did not help either, you'll have to get it looked at by Apple.

Iphone 4 will not connect to wifi, no networks are showing up

My phone will not show any available wifi networks, I have tried reseting it and restoring it, still nothing-yes wifi is on in settings and I do have home wifi that Ihave never had an issue before. Please help

power off your router and then your phone, wait a minute then power up your router wait for the signal to show and then power up your phone. See ifthat helps.

Iphone 4S will not connect to Wifi at any locations. Verizon told me it was a bug that come with the last iOS update. Help?

My daughter iPhone 4S cannot connect to Wifi at home or in public. I went to Verizon and they told me it was a bug from the last iOS update. Can someone validate this? Are there work arounds outside of upgrading the phone?

Hi DBraschler,
If you are having issues connecting to WiFi networks from your daughter's iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if the WiFi settings on the iPhone are completely greyed out or unresponsive, then this article may be more useful:

My iPhone 4 will not turn on. What can I do?

My iPhone 4 has a black screen and will not display anything it is fully charged and is plugged into my computer. What can I do?

Keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

New iPhone 5 will not connect to WiFi

I finally upgraded to a iPhone 5 from my old 3G and I cannot get it to connect ot my home WiFi. It can see the WiFi and I have WEP encription on the network using a Netgear WGT624v3 wireless router and 128bit encryption and when I enter the password, the iPhone gives me an "incorrect Password" warning. I have tried several times to enter it and even texted it to the phone and copied and pasted it to avoid any typos to no avail. I have powered down the router, removed the encryption, tried another encryption key, rebooted the iPhone but cannot get it to connect.
This is a router with a 802.11 g and b protocol working on channel 11 and I have not had issue with our iPad 2, my wife's iPhone 3GS, my old iPhone 3G or our Macbook Pro. I also tried to enter the network manually and it just does not want to accept the password whether it needs one or not. What am I not doing correctly? I say that there were some issues when people upgraded from an earlier operating system to the current one but this is a new phone as of yesterday??

OK, I'm in and here is the fix for any of you that have a Netgear router of the WGT624v3 variety:
Open the router interface by opening a browser window and in the address bar enter http://192.168.1.1
Log in to the router -- User name = admin and Password = password (unless you have set it up differently)
On the left hand sidebar near the bottom Web Support and Knowledge Base
Near the center of the screen click on Get More Downloads then be sure the model number carried over, you may need to readjust that back to the WGT624v3 because it does matter.
Under Firmware/Software at the bottom of the list WGT624v3 Firmware Version 2.0.21_1.0.1 (North America)
(this is a 3 version downgrade in the firmware but it works)
Click the Download button in the pop-up then Continue without registration
The zip file will download and you will need to extract the file wgt624v3_2_0_21_1_0_1_na.chk file to a place you can find it later.
Go back into the router interface http://192.168.1.1 and log in as before if necessary
Under Mantenance click on Router Upgrade and then Locate and Select the Upgrade File from your Hard Drive: and then select the file in the folder you placed it. and then click on the Update button.
The router will take a few minutes to load and cycle but the iPhone will connect with any of the security protocols you are using in you other network devices,
I then made sure the modem did not ask me to check for updates so I don't screw it up again-- Yes, this is a downgrade of 3-4 versions and you would think newer is better but there is something about the new OSi that is not compatable, don't know if this is an Apple problem or a Netgear problem.
If you have a D-Link router, God help you but I'll bet there is a similar fix. Newer is not always better,

If you have tried all of that then you need to take it to an Apple Store to get it repaired.

Hello there, LTD1111.
It seems you've done some great troubleshooting so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps you may want to review, and it also provides some additional recommendations if the issue persists:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
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.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

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.
