Troubleshooting iPhone WiFi:

Seven Tactics to Try...

A. Restart the Router:

If there is no Wi-Fi signal, then apparently you have no IP address. So, start by restarting the router.

B. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

If connecting is unsuccessful, try clearing out your Temporary Internet Files: History, Cache, and Cookies

Go Here: Clear your Safari Browser History and Set Up Content Blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:

1. Go To: Settings
2. Select: General
3. Scroll to: the Very Bottom
4. Select: Shut Down
5. Slide Finger: to the Right
6. Wait: 30 Seconds
7. Power One: the iPhone
8. Try this Once More

D. Troubleshooting Connectivity:

Wi-Fi: If your iPhone won’t Connect to a Wi-Fi Network - Apple Support

E. Disable, then Enable WiFi:

In Settings, try disabling Bluetooth, and then reenabling Bluetooth, seeing if that makes all the difference.

F. Reset All Network Settings to Default:

Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc)

1. Go To: Settings
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Reset
4. Tap: Reset Network Settings.
5. Enter: [Your Passcode]

As a Last Resort:

G. 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, always know to backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong in the future.

Yes.

Keep Security Software off of your Apple devices, as it just gets in the way. And this is a pure exabmple of how and why. If you are requited to use a VPN (i.e. for work or school), then talk to the Network Administrator for assistance. Elsewise, just keep all VPNs off of your Apple devices. There are plenty of reports on these forums of VPNs getting in the way, and your post is just one of many.
