Follow all of the troubleshooting steps.  You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
    For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
    Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

    As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3

    Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
    Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
    Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
    The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
    All of these have worked for someone, but not for most.

  • Wifi wont turn on on iphone

    wifi wont turn on on iphone

    took it to my carrier and the tech guy said that he has seen a couple of cases already after the 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2 updates.  There is no fix on the software side since Apple does not acknowledge the issue at all (they make you think you are the moron and not them).  The carrier's only recommendation to solve the issue is to buy a new phone! w.t.f....thanks Apple. Now I have to buy a new phone to get the WiFi function back???? just called Apple and since I am over the warranty period by 39 days I am s.o.l.  On the bright side, the 6.1.2 did solve my battery drain problem.

  • Iphone5 wifi wont turn on and says its not available?

    This is my third iphone 5 as my 2 other iphones 5 had faults with them and ive just had to pay £200 for this last one as my other one was out of warranty. Now my wifi wont allow me to turn it on and it says its unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi there I had the same problem too this is called grayed out wifi, what you have to do is to get a hair dryer or heater and put it on high heat and place it near your iPhone screen i
    Until you get the temperature warning then power your device down and leave it somewhere cool to cool down for at least 15 minutes then power up your device again and it should connect up to a network.

  • Wifi wont turn on iphone4s

    its not gray or anything it just wont turn on.

    Hi nicolegrave,
    Take a look at this article, just want to provide this to you for any wifi troubleshooting, and you can see the steps for yourself. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    What I would recommend is to try turning your phone on and off. Then try reset (holding the home button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds or until the device reboots) Can you use the control center (swiping up from the very bottom of your phone screen) to tap wifi emblem to turn wifi on and off?
    If this fails, you may be looking at trying reset network settings located in settings<general<reset. Choose reset network settings.
    If this fails, I would recommend a restore through iTunes on your computer, and be sure to set up as new, not restore from a back up, at first to test the wifi issue. If it fixes it, then I would try and restore from your latest back up in iTunes or iCloud.

  • TS1559 my wifi wont turn on, stays grey.Rebooted,restarted, restored.. any suggestions

    My wifi will not turn on, stays grey. Rebooted,restored and restarted. Any suggestions?

    Everything in that article is prior to restoring as new.  If the OP has already restored as new, none of the steps in that article will really matter.  This is a known issue in a small percentage of iPhones. 
    Also, the OP linked to this forum FROM that article you quoted.  However, in the future, if the OP has not tried anything, and hasn't linked from that article, definitely refer them to that article.
