How to change WiFi used to set up iPhone

When I bought my new iPhone 11, to set it up, I connected to the store's WiFI and logged in my iCloud. Since the WiFi there was slow and the backup restoration was taking forever, I decided to go home and restore my backup. Now that I'm at home though, my iPhone is still connected to the store WiFi and I can't change it to my home WiFi to continue the restoration. How do I do a factory reset and start from scratch so I can connect to my home WiFi?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

That can prove difficult and is weird, i had the same happening and mine connected to the home wifi without problems


If it’s really stuck i guess that only a forced restart will help :


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
