Hello geordiebell,
It sounds like your phone is not connecting to your Wi-Fi network. You can use the troubleshooting from the following article to help get that issue resolved:

Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.

Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.

Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

    dont start on civility cause i wasnt having a go at you, i just dont appreciate having a new problem with my phone after every update.
    so sorry if i offended you, also as you my see in my last post i have already restarted my router and disconnected it a number of times and it still does not work - so for civilities sake i dont appreciate being accused of not knowing something that i have not admitted too

  • TS1398 My Iphone 5 wont connect to my home wifi but other devices will. What do I do?

    I went away for a weekend and when I came home my iphone would not connect to my home wifi. I have tried everything I could think of. Reset the phone, the network settings, the router everything that I could possibly think of. Other devices will connect to the wifi but just not the phone.

    Remove all power from the router for about 15 seconds. If that doesn't fix it check if you have MAC filtering enabled on the router. If you do the iPhone needs to be added to the Allowed list.

  • Iphone 5 wont connect to wifi

    hi everyone,
    I'm really getting frustrated with my iPhone 5. I can no longer connect to wifi in both of my homes. I type in the passwords that i KNOW are correct but i keep getting a message that says "incorrect password". I have reset the network settings and I did a restore on itunes and still it won't connect. I was at the Apple store today getting my iPhone battery replaced and told them about this issue. The guy then was able to connect me in the store so i felt pretty stupid. However, my phone wont connect to my home wifi or my residence wifi that are over an hour and a half apart.  I have also unplugged my router and replugged it back in. Everyone else in my house can connect their phones no problem, and my macbook also connects fine too. Any suggestions would be helpful, this is getting really annoying.

    What kind of security is on the WiFi router? If it is WPA2 / AES, you are among quite a few people having this problem.
    I read in another post that you can set your client id to 'test' and it works. Someone else suggested setting a static ip for the phone on the router (NOT ON THE PHONE) via MAC address.
    Apple is aware of the WiFi issue and they are working on resolving the issue.
    If you cannot get the wireless to work at all, you can go to the Apple Store and have the device replaced.

  • Please help! My iphone 3g wont connect to wifi after password change.

    Hello Guru's,
    I have the iPhone 3g and just love it. I am able to connect yo my wifi connection at home. However, recently, I had changed my wifi security password. After that, My iphone 3g does not connect. It used to automatically connect. I selected the "Forget this network" option, then reset the phone and started it again. But, it detects my wifi, asks me to enter password which i do(the new one) , it shows checked meaning connected. But nothing works, safari, apps store, just says not connected, please check your network. MY laptop works fine. IS there something I need to do! It works fine in other wifi spots.
    Please help!
    thanks

    Hello applefan,
    Check my post in this thread for information on troubleshooting your WiFi connection:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1914161
    Also, see this article:

    Special characters other than letters and numbers in your password can cause issues connecting as well.
    Hope that helps,

  • HT5569 iphone 5 wont connect to wifi

    i've tried resetting the wifi. resetting the network. AND resetting the phone itself. are their any solutions to this problem?

    Have you tried a complete reset/restore iOS 7?
    Back up your iPhone to iCloud and/or iTunes.
    Open iTunes and make sure you have the latest version (11.1).
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    On the Summary screen, click Restore next to (Check for Updates). This will reset your phone to factory settings and reinstall iOS 7.
    After iOS 7 has been reinstalled, you can restore your back up from iCloud or iTunes.

    The fastest way to deal with your iPhone saying "unable to connect to network" is knowing the name of you network (SSID) and password. Go to settings>network>other and put in the name and password.

    hi, my iphone is not connecting to wifi. there is no problem with the connection of wifi. i tried so much but the connection is not stable. some times it connect and sometimes not connecting at all. if connected also its disconnecting again.pls help

    At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
    More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
    You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it?  Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?
