    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends 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

    - If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network

    - Restore from backup. See:

    iOS: How to back up

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

    - 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.
