My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network.
My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network. Any other I join (eg:starbucks) internet says connection error. Even though the phone says it's connected.
Since I have upgraded the the latest iOS in my iPhone 4S , this problem started and eventually the white button for Wi-fi stopped working. The one day before switching off the phone , I took out the SIM and reset the Networking and didn't switch on. Then I wrapped the phone with tissue paper and kept it in the deep refrigerator for 25 to 30 minutes and after cleaning frosty layer, I turned on the phone.... Somehow the Wi-fi button started working and the Wi-fi network too. Then only I inserted the SIM . Magic..!! My phone is still working fine . But I have to do this process once or twice a month every time Wi-fi stops working. Good luck my friend....hope you get benefitted !!

My iPhone 5 will only connect and keep connected if I am about 5feet away from my router. It also will not pick up other wifi sources and will drop Bluetooth. What can I do to solve this problem?
Are there any other wireless devices that might cause interference?
Also are there any nearby Wi-Fi networks that might have the same name as yours? It amazing how many Linksys Wi-Fi networks are out there. -
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.
Hello krosebear,

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network.
My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network, and it doesn't take me to the password as it used to do. Comcast is my internet provider.
If you can see your home WiFi network inside Settings>WiFi, then press the blue arrow to the right of it, and on the next sreen press "Forget this network".
Now go back so that you see your network again, then press on it and you should be prompted for the password. -
Recently purchased iPad Mini. Downloaded iOS 6.0.1. Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router. Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo). Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected. I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6. Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.

HT4972 The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks
The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks that I have used in the past. I noticed this after I updated to version 6. I have tried to reset network settings ;turn off and on wi-fi; reset home network and it's still not working. Is there a fix for this problem?
Try resetting your network settings. Go to General\Reset\Reset Netork Settings. Sometimes this will fix things. If not, what type of router do you have, what network are you running (B, G, N, etc.).,
Good luck! -
We are a two iPhone family, both on the same service provider. My wires iPhone is unable to connect to the home network where as mine is! In the settings her phone has no details for the IP address etc where as mine does! I cannot even enter the details manually.
I have done resets on off and nothing? HELP!What is that and how. I have 3 airports all configured identically and connected to one router via ethernet!
A power cycle is powering down for ~ 1 minute and powering back up. -
My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx
Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx -

It's possible your wi-fi router needs to be reset, or the firmware needs to be updated.

Today my ipad will not connect to my home network
new ipad air, set it up fine and used it with my home network 2 days ago. Charged it last night and now will niot let me connect to my home network. I did reboot
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Airport on my Macbook will no longer connect to my internet network at home. I was on campus using my university's network today and now Airport only wants to connect to it and will not change back to my home network. It has something to do with the 802.1X, and I don't know enough about networks to know what that does. Is there someway I can just reset my entire airport settings to where it would be like the first time I used my Macbook and configured it to my home network?

Did you Shut Down the Mac and then power it back up? Can you connect to your home network now if you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen?
If your home network name does not appear, click Join Other Network, then click Show Networks.
Click the name of the network that you want to join and enter the password if required

Phone will not connect to wireless. It's been giving me no service this week too. The apple store is 45 minutes away and I really don't want to go. Do I need to go there?
Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

Iphone 4GS will not connect to my home wifi?

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