iPhone 4s won't connect to home WiFi

Thanks - I was getting nowhere with multiple router and phone resets. Tried your suggestion and toggled the 'ask to join' and I was on in half a second. You = awesome.

Thanks, that was perfect. Was up all night trying to get it to work lol. So Happy now. 😁

I just got the iPhone 4S and ran into the exact same problems and could not get it connect. So today I want to warch Netflx, but my blueray won't connect either. I then reset my router with a paper clip and POOF, like magic both are connected. This maybe be a simple fix, it worked for me after trying everything. Good Luck

I too had the same apple log in page pop up straight from my settings menu. My iPhone 4s just randomly lost its connection, my MBP can sill connect fine so Im assuming IOS6 has caused this. I have solved it for now by resetting network settings.

Ok so my boyfriend updated his iOS to iOS6 and immediately lost his connection to wifi. ive tried all of the above suggestions, reseting it, turning it on and off, reseting netword settings, restoring to factory default settings, nothing is working. HELP!!!! i have no idea where to go from here....

I had the same issue both iPhone 4S' my wife's and mine fell off the network tonight. Cured it by rebooting both the bt hub and the apple time machine (acts as my router).

Got my 4s today and had similar issues. I'm using a MAC filter on my router (it's a Netgear WNR350L) so I tried turning it off but it didn't affect my situation. I updated my phone to iOS 6 and like magic it seemed to work, for about an hour then the problem was back, I knew the password was correct and since it was connected at one point I know my MAC filter was configured properly.

What did work was setting up a static IP on my phone. It's wierd though, there is nothing wrong with my DHCP as far as I know, works perfectly fine with all other devices, this is actually the first one ever to encounter this issue (I also got an iMac, MacBook Pro (late 2011 & late 2008), Ipad, Iphone (3gs and 4s) and a lot of other devices).

I have to routers which are connected to each other, the one I was attempting to connect up to have the DHCP turned off, it's my other router which assigns IP addresses.

Still, weird issue but the static IP set up fixed it for me! :-)

Hey SarahRene86 did you guys resolve your issue? Cause I have the exact same problem but I can't even figure it out! Apple isn't helpful with the situation either so I'm at a lose. I always use Static IP on my home router and it worked flawlessly but after updating to ios6 my wifi isn't working at all. I mean it detects and you can see the wifi signal but safari won't load pages up and it's stuck with the loading spinning wheel. If you guys figure whats wrong it would be cool if you can share with me the fix.

Cheers!

I had the same problem been like that for a week. My computer was coneccting just fine as well as my daughters. But my phone and my ipod wouldn't connect I did everything from resetting settings to reduing the entire device. I even unplugged and replugged in my roughter thinking that would help. I had updated to the new ios6 update on both devices. Thats when it all started. i could connect to wifi anywhere but home.

I finally tonight after trying to add my password which I would love to change to something easier. I went to my roughter and hit the reset button. After a few minutes of the roughter rebooting and reentering my password into my devices the are connected...yeah

i had the same problem that all the post in the forums has, my iphone4s is connected to the wifi but it seems not to be recieving any internet connection but it is connected to the wifi, my laptop is connected but has internet, i tried to forget the network on my iphone but it did worst, i cannot able to connect to my wifi, it says wrong password but i enter the correct password -_-

what seems to be the problem, i read all the comments here nothing works for me i tried it all T_T

Please help, by the way my ois is 6.1.1 about 2weeks ago i updated it, this is the first time it hapens,

sorry for bad english.

Hi I've solved the problem awhile back. So what you need to do is you have to choose "OTHER" in the wifi list and manually type in your wifi server name. It's case sensitive so make sure you type in your wifi name correctly...then choose your security (ie. WEP, WPA, etc), input your password and it should detect properly.
Hope this helps. Cheers! 🙂

Thank you! I was working on this and reading all of the blogs and tried everything. When I figured out how to change the channel on the router, it worked. Thanks!

Tried all of above no luck. Reset network settings on Iphone 4s, no luck. Unpluged cisco router for 10 seconds, powered back up and SUCCESS!! I have E3000 3 years old first time this has happened.

K. I also had this problem with my iPhone 4S and solved it by choosing "Other Network" and re-entering the security level as well as my password. Previously I had just tried re-entering my password without checking the security level. It turned out that the iPhone was choosing WEP, when the actual security was WPA2. Hope this helps...

I have tried everything I read about the 4S and not connecting to WiFi. I have found nothing that worked. I would hope Apple would come out with a fix for this.
