iphone 14 pro won't connect to my 2.4ghz wifi network

One thing that I didn't see in your list (great troubleshooting, btw), is to reset your phone's network settings. To do so, tap on Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Setting

Note: This resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, trust settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before. You just need to re-connect to your Wi-Fi using your wireless credentials (SSID & wireless security password).

I had the same thing happen to my home network after a power failure that killed my router. I replaced my whole system with the Festa tp-link and WAM!!! can no longer connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi. What I figured out was that there is this advanced option set of converting multicast to unicast. When I turned these all off then my iPhone 16, MacBook Pros are now able to connect. I hope this helps.

I ended up making a new 2.4ghz network via a guest connection and that allowed me to connect to that instead of the 2.4 of my primary

Here’s a possible solution. It usually works for me with devices on a 2.4ghz network. I found this out as one of my devices recommended it during troubleshooting.

1. Go into iPhone settings
2. Tap on “Wi-Fi”
3. 2.4ghz network should be selected.
4. Tap on the “i” icon next to your 2.4ghz network.
5. Make sure “Private Wi-Fi Address” is off.
6. Recheck connectivity with the 2.4ghz device
7. Complete steps 1-3 again to ensure this setting is on “fixed” or “rotating”.

Go to your online router settings.

Disable the relevant network, Save Settings.

Wait one minute.

Enable the relevant network and Save Settings.

I’ve been trying the network reset for over 4 months. Eventually it fails. I even replaced

my Wi-Fi system with a different brand and still have the same issue. Does anyone have a solution for this?

The network reset will not delete your phone's data, just its network settings. Regardless, if you make it a habit to make periodic backups of your phone, you can be a little less hesitant ... and this should definitely be performed any time BEFORE updating/upgrading iOS and installing new apps.

I have exactly the same issue, it started a couple of days ago. And very suddenly. It wasn't an issue before. My other phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) still connects with no issues. The iOS is the same. I've reset my network settings, that didn't make any difference. Is there any other suggestions?

Same with me. I just replaced a Netgear N150 router installed a Linksys EA6350 router. When I use it's default 2.4 or 5ghz wifi, it's fine. But if I CUSTOMIZE the wifi ssid/key, then I get no internet via 2.4, but I DO get internet via 5ghz!

Same issue tried all options suggested below no luck

would be great if you can suggest a solution

it started only after resent upgrades in ios

this happens to me for my Mac and IPhone

even my friend Mac also not able to connect

please help

This happened to me a few days ago. My garage door opener just fell off the 2.4 GHz network and couldn’t reconnect. Then I discovered my iPhone 13 Pro couldn’t connect to the 2.4 GHz network either. I made no changes to my network to cause the problem. I’m still using an ancient AirPort Extreme base station router. I was able to get the garage door opener back online by creating a guest network as a previous poster suggested. So the problem isn’t actually fixed just worked around. Just for fun I just tried my MacBook Pro M1 Pro, and it can’t connect to the original 2.4 GHz network nor the new guest network. The MacBook is running macOS 15.0, and the iPhone is on iOS 18.0. The problems began before I upgraded either device to these new operating systems, however.

Im having the exact same issue and have hit a wall

Still doesn’t work for me. Network settings reset didn’t make my iPhone 12 Pro connect to a 2.4ghz network :(

Does anyone know about a different option?
