No longer connects to home wi-fi

During the last 7 to 10 days my razr upgraded to version 4.0.4 (ICS). Sense it did this, I can no longer connect to my Wi-Fi at home.
Specifics: it would say it was connected, but when I opened a browser or went to fb or my email I would be notified that my data is turned off (it was on), or that the browser was having connectivity issues, or that my app had timed out. I have gone through all the different setting configurations on my router, nothing I changed had any effect, other than knocking my daughters phone off the wi-fi, so I changed it all back as it was before. I tried "forgetting" the wi-fi and then re-adding it, did not work.
I took my phone to a verizon store. the first thing they said was "it picks up our wi-fi, soo..." As you can imagine, after a week or so of trying all these different things, I was not in the mood to hear it was not really an issue. I went through everything I have tried with them. I asked them if they knew what frequency their wifi was set at, etc.. They reset my phone to factory settings and sent me on my way. I was hopeful.
I came home. There was a slight difference. Now, instead of saying its connected but not actually being connected, it cycles through " Turning on Wi-Fi" "Obtaining IP address" "saved" "Turning on Wi-Fi" "Obtaining IP address", etc. occasionally it will say "avoided poor connection". when it is on "saved" if I look at the connection strength, it is "excellent". Before the ICS upgrade, I had no issues with Wi-Fi connection, and the xbox and my daughters connections are fine. Nothing has changed except the ICS update.
I went back to the verizon store, they looked at it for a min and said "it connects to our wi-fi".... End result is that they are getting me a replacement phone, which has to be shipped to me from Motorola, and should be here in a week. But the phone will also have to upgrade to the ICS version. And it might not work either.
My router is a Cisco Linksys e2000. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I have reset the router, phone has been reset, wifi connection has been forgotten and reentered many many times. I have tried switching my router from 2.5ghz to 5 ghz (daughter lost her connection then) I have gone through "mixed" "G & B Only" "B only" "G Only" "N Only". I have tried switching channel widths, and the channel itself is set to auto.. I do not know what else to try. My phone has an IP address, though it looks odd compared to other IP address's I have seen, and it has a mac address as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there! I certainly hope the replacement device works properly with your home Wi-Fi Network. I have not seen this as a common concern and am confident this is resolved for you. If you need further assistace, please let me know!

Apple TV no longer connects to Home Sharing

Hello,
Frustrated and working on this issue for month - Apple TV no longer connects with Home Sharing! I have uninstalled all apple firmware and reinstalled from scratch ITunes, I have checked and unchecked Home Sharing and entered password dozens of times! I have reset all four apple TVs and I have unchecked/disabled IPV6 and it still does not work. all four Apple TVs have worked for years and somewhere along the way they just stopped.
I am running Windows 7 and the only thing that has changed in the path is the Time Warmer Arris router. Apple TV still connects to WiFi and Netflicks.
Please help,

It sounds like you have already tried a few things, but you may still find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Phone will no longer connect to home wifi.

My phone just sits there loading on the the Belkin router option that is my home wifi. I've tried resetting my phone and syncing to itunes and nothing seems to work. I've also tried forgetting the network, then reentering the wifi code; this also doesn't work. I have a limited data plan so I need this wifi to keep from going over that 2 GB limit as the overdraft fees will wreck me.

I recently got a new blackberry curve 8520 and it connected to my home wifi when I bought it, but since I inserted my new orange sim I can no longer connect to any wifi, including home network. The phone will not connect to wifi with or without a sim.
I have made a search for a fix on google and tried different things, but nothing worked.
I can only choose hotspot browser as my default browser, I have no other option available.
I am on an orange 12 month canary plan.
Please help me connect to wifi!
I forget which Orange UK plan I'm on, but it works fine so
Does you plan include Data?
Which carrier's SIm were you using before? Have they turned off your service yet?
Have Orange enabled your BIS (data plan needed)
If you do not have a data plan, why not? (not meant to offend - but need to know to assist)

Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

Our home wifi appears to be working fine. Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble. However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect. It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect. We reset our wireless hub but that did not help. I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice. I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones. This has got to be an issue with the new software.

Apple tv is no longer connected to Home Sharing

I have home sharing running on my Windows 7 PC with two Apple TV's. One of them is on version 4.4.3 the other is on verison 4.4.4. The apple TV with the latest version is no longer seeing my Home Share, yet the apple TV with the older software is. I have rebooted the network, logged out of home sharing, turned it back on and even reset the apple TV with no success.
Does anyone know if I missed anything? Internet test works fine, it is connected to the network, but it cannot see the movies I have in my library.

I have just developed the same problem. Everything on my Apple TV works just fine except it will no longer load my library from my computer. I can play movied from my computer, ipad or iphone onto my ATV, but it will no longer pull them from my computer. Everything worked until latest itunes update. I have started itunes match, but everything worked after that as well.

IPhone 5 will no longer connect to home wifi

My iPhone 5 has been connecting to my home wifi without any troubles, however all of a sudden, for the last couple of days it will no longer connect. When I go to Settings, it shows my the name of my home network next to Wifi as though it's connected, however if I go into the Wifi settings, instead of a tick next to my home network, it has the little pinwheel that shows it's trying to connect to it. The wifi triangle never appears at the top of the screen and the wifi never fully connects.
My wifi is working normally when I connect to other connections outside of my home.
I have reset Network Connections, re-entered my home wifi password, but I still have the same result.
The only thing I can think of is that there are now more phones in the house using our wifi connection so maybe I have somehow been kicked off?
Please Help!

Hi Brenden,
Thanks for your reply. I had already tried the steps in that article and I don't know how, but a few hours after I reset my network connections & re-entered the wifi password, the wifi began working again.
Now some of the other members in the household can no longer connect so it appears I have bumped them off!
Oh well at least mine is working again!
Thank you for taking the time to answer my query.

IPod no longer connects to home Wi-Fi at distance

Got home yesterday to find that my iPod only connects to my WiFi when I'm right in front of the hub (BT). I can no longer get WiFi on my iPod anywhere in the house (where I always had 2 bars of signal), but all other devices (tablet, phone, xbox, laptop) work fine. I have reset my router and my iPod, neither made a difference - I can still only get connection in one room. Help!

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

Can no longer connect to home Wi Fi

My wife and I both have i phones. There was a time when we frist got our phones we could connect automatically to our Netgear router. Enjoyed face time etc. Recently we discovered that our phones see the Wi Fi but wont connect. Our home laptops have no issue connecting and our phones will connect to other WiFi networks. I have tried resetting the phones, resetting the Netgear router etc. Still no connection. Can some one assist with this one?

We have two phones and the tablet connected to our home wifi, we have Time Warner. I don't think that is much. It is working better now. I thought that the train being overloaded might be the reason why I couldn't connect. I had asked the conductor if there was an issue with it and he checked and said no. He was connected, as were others around me. Most were using their smart phones. Since I had never had a problem connecting before, I didn't think I'd have an issue on this trip. BUT, there were a lot more people on board. My scheduled train was cancelled, so there were more passengers, and cars, than the usual on board! It was annoying because I had to reschedule, AND be without a wifi connection! I can only hope that the next time I take the train, that I can connect to their wifi.....and that my scheduled train won't be cancelled!!!!

IPhone 5 no longer connecting to home wifi after adding new iPhone 5s

I just bought my husband a new iPhone 5s and successfully connected it to our home wifi; however, now my iPhone 5 won't connect. All other home devices will connect without an issue. I've tried Reseting the Network Setting on my iPhone and that does not work. It first gives me a message that states it is "unable" to connect to the network, then when I try again, it says the password is incorrect (and it is not). I'ver tried turning my router off and on again as well. Is there a way to just set an IP address maybe?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects to home network but connects to others

I recently moved my router into another room and when I did, I messed it up big time. I fixed it and now the internet does work, BUT my iphone will not connect wirelessly to it. The network shows up on the phone, asks for a passcode and I input the pass and it it's right. It doesn't say it's wrong but it doesn't connect. This is making me mad because I can't be using my carrier's network, 200 MB can go quick when you download music or websites all the time. I'm almost over now, and I can't use my phone while home for internet until our next billing cycle.
SUM UP: Phone won't connect to wireless router anymore.

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

Time Capsule no longer connects to home wireless network.

Last night the Time Capsule we have been using for wireless internet and TM backup stopped connecting to internet. It will still back up from this network. It is connected to a FIOS router. The status light is off, which is supposed to mean it is unplugged. It is plugged in and connected to the FIOS router, this light is green.
If we switch to using the FIOS router for internet access, we get internet access but no backups. Our Canon printer used to work connected wirelessly, but now does not on either network.
Shelly

Good news that the Time Capsule has not had a major power failure.
But, I'm not clear on whether the Time Capsule is working OK now on your network.....and the amber light is blinking......or......whether the Time Capsule is not working on your network and the amber light is blinking.
The genius should have told you that you can use AirPort Utility on your Mac and it will tell you "why" the amber light is blinking.
What operating system are you using on your Mac? If you are not sure, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

Following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions?

Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

Can connect at the Apple Store, but no longer at my home

Hi,
After I "reset" my network settings on my ipT, I can no longer connect to my home network. I had an appt with the Genius Bar today and the ipT connected fine to the Apple network. They told me to reset my router at home. I came home and did that...turned it off, waited, and turned it back on. My laptop connects, and the ipT sees the home network, but I get no bars.
I'm including aquoted section from part of an Apple Support article, below. My problem meets the first 2 out of 3 criteria. I don't get numbers for IP Address, Subnet, etc, but my ipT DOES show a Wifi address under point 3 below:
"Symptoms
iPhone or iPod touch appear to be connected to a Wi-Fi network but cannot use Wi-Fi for checking email, surfing the Internet, or other data transactions.
AND
On the device, when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi and then tap next to the network, no values or entries for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear.
AND
The device shows no Wi-Fi address (Tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address).
This can happen if, during the initial setup of the iPhone or iPod touch, no Wi-Fi address was registered. So while the device can attach to different Wi-Fi networks, it will not be able to retrieve an IP address because the Wi-Fi router doesn't see a Wi-Fi address from the device."
Thanks for any help. I don't know what else to try. I'd sure love to have my surfing back!

I'm answering my own post, in case it helps other people with the same problem. I'm almost embarrassed to admit what the solution is, but if it helps, hey!
After resetting, my ipT asked for the password for my home network. In error, I typed in my EMAIL password, not my ROUTER's password. Duh. Once I got the right password entered, everything's fine.
So, hope this helps someone else.

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 issues. i have reset network settings

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?

Ipad no longer connects to wifi at home

My iPad (first generation) no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
I don't have the possibility to "forget this network" in the options from the menu.
The only thing I can do is re-typing the router password, which I know is correct, but still does not work...
Please help me!
Thanks you in advance!
Gabriele

If resetting the router does nothing, reset the iPad. Hold down Home and Sleep buttons together until the Apple logo is displayed, then let go. Again, no data or settings are lost.
