Wifi connection issue

My iPhone has recently had problems connecting to the internet through wifi. It shows a strong signal but I usually get a server not responding message. No other devices in the house have this issue. I have tried powering off my phone and forgetting the network but this hasn't fixed the problem. Any ideas?
