My iphone 4s won't connect to wifi but other people's do

I have a new iphone 4S and it won't connect to the wi fi at our home. Other people in my family have iphones or nexus and they all will connect.
I enter the password and the wireless symbol appears for a second but then it says unable to connect.
I have no trouble connecting to other wifis in other locations.
Thanks in advance, it is getting very frustrating.!!!

Just had this same problem I went to the apple store today and they told me my wifi card was out and then gave me a new phone but I backed it up and it's not working again so they said one of my apps might have a virus that is interfering with my wifi so it's back to apple again tomorrow They said they will give me another new phone but I will have to set it up as new and will probably lose everything except the contacts that I have backed up so if I were you I would back up your pics and everything else in iCloud

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

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping 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

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.

Macbook Pro won't connect to wifi but other computers are working perfectly

Hi,
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that connects to WiFi no problem anywhere else - except for my parent's house (who I am currently visiting). There are 2 other PCs in the house that connect to the WiFi without a problem, as does my iPhone. When I try to connect, the Network Setup Assistant keeps saying "Connection Timeout" and then when I go into "Assist Me" the error comes up as "The password you entered is invalid." I know that the password is correct, but I can't get passed this step...tried restarting computer and router but no luck.
Help!!

Click the Advanced button in the Network preference pane, then the TCP/IP tab. Type something (anything, as long as it's unique) in the DHCP Client ID text box. Click OK, then Apply. Reopen the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP lease.

My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi, it won't even let me turn it on and when it does it just sits there and loads

My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi. It won't light up for me to slid on. And the few times it does light up, it just sits there and loads and loads.

Hi there Ashton1334!
I have a couple of articles here for you that may address your issue. It seems like from your description that this article is going to be the most relevant, and it deals with Wi-Fi settings being greyed out or dim:

IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi unless very close to router!

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my home wifi. My other family members have access to the wifi, it's just my iPhone that won't connect. It only connects when I am very close to my router. My iOS is 7.0.6 . The weird part is that I can connect to other wifi's, just not my own. I have tried everything, Turning wifi off and back on, Shutting down my iPhone, Hard rebotting my iPhone, Reset network settings, Reset ALL settings, sycning my iPhone, Unplugging my router, Updating my router, Changing security of wifi. Please help i've been dealing with this for weeks, and its very fustrarating.

have you tried updating the drivers on your modem?

IPhone 5 setting shows connected to wifi but screen only shows 4g

Any ideas? Settings shows connected to wifi but phone keeps showing 4g by cell signal strength instead of wifi icon

That's really strange - probably not the answer you want to hear but it might be worth calling Apple Technical Support:

Let us know what you find out and good luck.

IPhone 3G won't connect to wifi, it's been connected before but now it won't work, the iTouch connects with no problem, it's just the phone. I've tried resetting it, updating it, and everything and still no luck.

I have a iPhone 3G that is running 3.1 and about 2 days ago, it was fine, connecting to wifi and everything. But now, it won't even find any networks? I've tried going to public places (I.E. McDonald's) and other places that have free wifi, and it can't detect the wifi, Why won't my phone find my home wifi now? I've tried resetting the network settings, I've reset the entire phone, i've done about everything all the other posts talked about. Anyone else got an idea?

I have, yes. I've been shutting it down by holding the sleep/wake key and the home button, aswell. Then I go in and reset network settings and I just get back to it not finding any wifi around. It has the little searching sign, but it just keeps going with nothing showing up.

HT4628 Macbook won't connect to wifi, but will connect to mobile iphone, any solutions?

Long story short, I downladed an illegal file on my computer, and my internet provider cut me off. They made me connect an ethernet cable to the modem to go online and sign a I will not ever do again ordeal. Ever since then though, my computer will not connect with its wifi. My mobile iphone would connect easily and internet is fine. Just with my Macbook it won't connect. I brought the laptop to work and it would connect with other wifi networks easily, just not the one at home. any solutions?

Ever since then though, my computer will not connect with its wifi.
Is its your ISP wifi? If so, have you tried others (hot spots)?

Brand New iPhone 6 won't connect to wifi.

So i just got my iphone 6 today and i just got home and it won't connect to my wifi..I have tried turning off wifi networking and rebooting, and I've checked my password multiple times and it keeps saying "Incorrect password for (Wifi Name)"

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for 15-30 seconds. If it still says "incorrect password" then the password is incorrect.

IPhone 4S won't connect to wifi E2500

When I try to connect new iPhone 4S, it goes to the page for all the info (IP address, etc.) instead of just asking for the password input. I've tried disconnecting router and restarting, plugging iPhone into iMac laptop, etc. (PC is hardwired into server and PC laptop, iMac laptop and former iPhone 3 all connected to wifi w/o difficulty.) Went to site of purchase (12/2011) of Lynksys E2500. They suggested might need to download a driver.
Any suggestions on how to locate and install updates to driver for E2500 to allow connection to iPhone 4S?

First of all try connecting the iPhone 4s once again in the following way. Here is the link for the same: http://cydiajb.com/forum/connect-iphone-4-to-wireless-router/.
The Cisco Connect software has the capability to update the router or hotspot’s software and firmware automatically. Here is the link for updating the router’s software and firmware using Cisco Connect:

Iphone 3g won't connect to wifi. Please help!

I have had an iphone 3g for a couple of years now. For the last month it has been unable to connect to any wifi. I have tried everything from restoring it to updating my software. Nothing has worked. The only times I have been able to connect to wifi is when I have accidently dropped my phone. I was able to stay connected for a couple of hours. When I try to connect to wifi it says "unable to join the network (name of network)". Can someone please help me!

I assume you have rebooted the phone, as that is a basic step.
Go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. This may or may not fix it.

IPhone 4s won't connect to Wifi or my Macbook Air

I have an iPhone 4s (iOS 7.1 software, phone says it is up-to-date) and it is not recognized by my Macbook Air (OS X version 10.9.2, computer says it is also up-to-date). I switched computers in January, from a Macbook Pro to a Macbook Air, but did not transfer any iTunes information onto the Macbook Air from the Pro. I've avoided connecting my phone to iTunes on the Air because I would lose my music on my phone (which I have backed up on the Pro). I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, figured it was worth mentioning. My iPhone also stopped connecting to Wifi (it is greyed out), causing me to use a lot of data. How do I fix these two issues?

at this very moment, all of apple's servers are a little over loaded, so i wouldn't be surorised if you have trouble baking up to iclou right now. with that being said, go a head and try restting your network settings under Settings > General >Reset > Reset Network Settings

MacBook won't connect to wifi but iPhones will?

Help! My MacBook will not connect to wifi at home. All other devices do, but none of the MacBooks. Weird, right? I've tried every fix I could find in these forums and nothing works. Diagnostic test says network is working fine...

i sometimes run to these issues when i have my nieces and nephews visiting me and a lot of devices trying to connect to the same router - some will connect and others won't.
I solved my issue by getting into my router's settings and changing the channel - under the wireless section.
I also changed all my macbooks dns settings to the image below.
give that one a go and see if that helps you out.
