Unable to connect to unsecured wifi

My iPhone was unable to connect to my workplace unsecured wifi. The IP address, as well as the other details are as follows:
IP Adress : 10.182.203.17
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.192
Default Gateway : 10.182.203.1
Preferred DNS Server : 161.142.201.17
Alternate DNS Server : 161.142.2.17
I faced no problem in connecting to the network using my laptop or other mobile devices. Please advise for the correct setting as this is the only mean of communication on my workplace. Thank you.

Is your employer doing MAC address filtering? A completely unsecured wireless network in a place of business just seems stupid. MAC address filtering would only allow specific network adapters to connect (for example, those in company owned/approved devices) and would not be apparent to anyone attempting to connect casually.

If so, you'll have to ask them to add the MAC address for your phone to the permitted devices list.

Do a RESET on your iPhone and see if that helps, and if not...

Go into general settings and reset your network settings and try again and see if that fixes it.

None of the advice given worked. But the problem resolved as we've reset our wifi so it can have an automatic configuration. Tq for the advice, nevertheless..
