Still can't connect to WiFi on iOS 6 iPhone 4S?

I have read all the workarounds for convincing iPhone 4S updated to iOS 6 to connect to my wireless network and it still will not connect. I've used it in other places with no issues (networks with no security) but I can't connect to my home wireless network (Airport Extreme). My other devices connect fine and there were no issues before upgrading but I have tried restarting the Airport anyway and changing the security settings and still nothing. Half the time when I go into WiFi settings on the phone, the network doesn't even show up in the list. Whenever it does, I try to connect and either get "Cannot connect to network," or I am asked for the password and I enter it and I get the same error message. I've tried resetting my network settings and doing a soft reset of the phone but nothing seems to help. I also tried removing security on the wireless network completely and it still can't find the network or connect to it.
Has anyone found a workaround for this short of reseting/restoring the phone or a problem with the Airport Extreme that might be causing the issue?

Update: I tried restoring the Airport Extreme to factory settings and used a new network name. It connects at first, but then loses the connection after a minute or two and the network disappears from the list...infuriating.

  • Still can't connect to WiFi since iO6 upgrade on my iphone 4s

    Still can't connect to WiFi since yesterday's iO6 upgrade on my iPhone 4s.  Plus battery life is horrible!!

    If you are having the issue where it takes you to a login page, goto Settings > WiFi and tap on the blue button to the right of your network name. There'll probably be an option to auto-join and you'll want to toggle that. If it's off, turn it on then back off. If it's on, toggle it off. If prompted to login again, just hit Cancel in the upper-right. Now goto Safari app and you should be prompted to connect to your network at which time it should work. It did for me at least and a friend of mine.

  • With new OS6 I can't connect to wifi network with my iPhone

    Ever since I upgraded to the new iOS6, my phone will no longer connect to my wifi networks. It only works on 3G. Tried to reset networks and various other things to no avail. Not happy ...

    Thank in advance

  • STILL can't connect to wifi

    My Itouch still won't connect to my network. My Xbox live and Macbook are running just fine off of the router (Yes, I turned it off and on), and obviously know my password. The Itouch recognizes my network, but says it's unable to join. I've restored my settings, and not sure what else to do. I'm going crazy not being able to download any apps or use this thing. Please help

    My iPod touch does connect to other wifi hotspot, but it still will not join at my home it saying wrong password. Should I go thru att who I purchase my new modem and see if they could walk me through and reset my password?

  • IPhone 4s can't connect to wifi after iOs 8.1.1

    So yesterday I updated my iPhone 4s to iOs 8.1.1 and now it seems like it doesn't connect to wifi anymore. It shows the wifi-icon on the system tray, and when I go into settings/Wifi/*Network* it shows all the correct data. I already tested it on 3 different networks, and all the same problem. I just drains my cellular instead :/
    I already tried hard reset and network settings reset

    I have iphone 4s with upgrad to 8.1.1, coudn't connect to App Store. Each time I put password in utilities screen it would disappear.
    I don't know which part worked but I cleared the safari history and cookies and enable location and it worked.

  • Just download 6.0.2 on my iPad mini. I can't connect to wifi so does my iPhone 4s.

    How do I fix the wifi problem on 6.0.2 on iPad mini and iPhone 4s?

    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

  • I still can't connect to wifi on my iMac 10.9.4!

    I Honestly don't even know what to do know. I haven't been able to connect for a while. After I got the 10.9.4 update it would work for maybe a couple hours but know it just won't work and I don't know what else to do because I have tried everything that people say will "fix" this issues. I'm on an late 2011 iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4. Please someone give me an answer!

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Can't connect to wifi on iOS 6 iPad.

    When I try to connect my "new iPad" to my home Wifi, it connects for a second, disconnects, and a login screen from safari appears. Please help!

    from Demo which worked for some users:
    Try this.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Can't connect to wifi hotspots

    After I updated my OX I can no longer connect to wifi hot spots.
    I contacted apple support and they told me to put "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" and "preferences.plist" from the library folder to my desktop and restart my computer.
    I did nothing. I still can't connect to wifi. When I click net network preferences, under wifi,there is a yellow circle, not green.
    Can someone tell me what the problem is? I can't work in libraries and cafes anymore!
    (Macbook Air - OS X 10.9.4)

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    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 4s and can't connect to wifi,wifi is grayed out and says "No wifi".FREEZER TRICK WORKS!

    I have iPhone 4s wchick cannot connect on wifi,wifi is grayes out and says"No wifi",i restart my phone,i reboot it and finally i restore it the problem remains,i put it on a freezer for more than 5 minutes and works for 1-2 minutes,but when outside temperature returns on the phone still can't connect on Wifi!what to do?
    Anyone having the same problem?My iPhone 4s its not 6 months old!

    Try restoring your phone usng DFU mode. Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.

    my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

    When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
    Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?
