cant connect to wifi at home??

I was wondering if anybody can help me with this problem...I've been using wifi at my house without any problems until about 3 days ago...I don't get a wifi symbol at the top anymore. When I go wifi settings, it tells me that I am connected to my home wifi, but no symbol at the top (only 3G is showing up). I tested it out at local Starbucks, and was able to connect without any problems. I've turned my modem off/on and tried resetting network settings on my phone, but it is still not working. Can somebody please tell me what I can do to get wifi at home? Thanks!

iphone 4

When phone tells you are connected, but no symbol on top, it means the wifi authentication was successful and your device authenticate with the network, but the device cannot navigate to the internet. It may be wrong DNS settings, or your wifi router not able to access internet, too.

Have you tried to access your home wifi with other devices, as example a notebook?

Like others here i am using 4.x OS, my phone does not even see my wireless network but my laptop and webbook both see and conect fine. Phone used to see and connect to network, not sure when it stopped seeing it. Does anyone know if there is a way to force the phone to see network? Thanks in advance for any help.
