Hi SheikNaabie,


Firstly, try updating the phone and see if the update fix it. If this does not work maybe restoring the iPhone to factory setting may fix it. Make sure to back up any important information. Lastly, the issue could be a hardware malfunction that may not be fixed. It's possible to go to your local Apple store and see if they can fix it, or replace it.


Hope this helps and you can get your Wifi working!

Hey SheikNaabie,


Sounds like you might need to backup and attempt a Restore and Set Up As New Device.


IF after doing that the device is STILL unable to connect go to selfsolve.apple.com, type in your serial number (settings> general >about) and see if your warranty is still good. If not you can try to take it to an apple store or call in to set up a repair because the wifi antenna might be gone.
