Why can't my iPhone 5 connect to private wi-fi?

Hi,

I am currently an Ipod Touch 4th generation owner. I may be able to help with your Iphone issue.

Try:

-resetting your router

-resetting your network settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL NETWORK SETTINGS

Hope I helped!

Thanks

If you are aware of the problem that everyone is having, why did you start a separate thread? There is a thread with every offered or thought of solution under the sun in this forum. It has about 232 pages of the same complaints/solutions. btw, 6.1 is now out.

what do you mean "thread"?

Hi,

You were just having problems connecting to your friend's wifi correct? Is your friend the administrator of his network? I'm wondering if the network has some MAC or other filters set up. If so, even though you had the password correct, you would not connect.

Just got my new iPhone 5...so excited, as this is my third iPhone. When it didn't connect to the wifi at work, I didn't worry, cause I thought it would just need a reboot. But it wont' connect at home either. Not only that, but there must be 10 available networks that I can view on my iMac and my phone can 't see any of them, let alone my personal wifi!! This is a big disapointment. I have updated the phone (first thing that I did when I got it) and nothing....

OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"

-No security

-WEP

-Reset network,

-Complete reset and reload on the phone

-ETC ETC ETC

Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.

Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.

My Iphon 5 32GB had the same wifi problem . if i be far for more than 4 or maximum 5 Meter from the router i cannot get any connection .

what shall i do ??

the i phon 4s is too much better from this bad i phon 5 .

thanks FIXED

Was having wifi connection issues with my iPhone 5 dropping in and out all the time. Did everything that was recommended - no better. Had phone replaced. Same issues. iPhone4 and iPad were fine. Took the plastic cover off my phone and all issues have gone away. Connection is perfect. Same plastic cover on iphone4 no problem! Tested iphone5 cover on friends phone and he started having problem!!! 3 months of problems and it was the dam white diamonds cover!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the problems as Papgirl after following numerous threads on how to cure problem with no success.

I have just found the cover to be my problem, only difference mine was a blue diamonds cover, switched it to the leather type cover and my problems with wifi have gone. Let that be a lesson, don,t bling up the phone!

You ROCK! I'm on my fourth iPhone (now the iPhone5) and have never had this problem until this one. I was at a loss and your suggestion was so simple but I would never have known where to begin - thanks so much!
