Cannot use turn on wifi button. it is greyed. I have tried general->reset->network settings but it does not change situ. Other devices are connected to home wifi network. Only this iphone8 is not. Have rebooted both wifi once and this iphone many times. Help!
iPhone 8 Plus
Very briefly was able to turn on WiFi with repeated reset network settings and reboots. But got blocked for a time on passwd. Went back to problem later with the passwd and again could not turn on WiFi. This is feeling like a hw issue. All other devices are connected.

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Greyed-Out WiFi:
Perform the following....
A. Restarting the iPhone:
If any changes were made (i.e. Installed Apps), then Settings (i.e Wf-Fi), may have become manipulated technically. So, try restarting the iPhone:
B. Disable Cellular:
Try disabling Cellular, and using Wi-Fi instead, seeing if that makes all the difference.
C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:
D. Reset All Network Settings to Default:
Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc)
As a Last Resort:
E. Restore form a Backup:
Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.
Other devices are connected to home wifi network.
