iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1, former ATT phone though no longer
Go to settings, wifi, click on the arrow to the right of your wifi name, then click forget this network. Then go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings, click. Then turn your router off for a minute, then back on, and after everything boots back up, try to connect to your wifi again.

If the phone is otherwise operational you don't need a SIM card in it. You DO need a SIM card to upgrade the phone or to restore it, but it does not have to be a currently active SIM card.
To attempt to fix your WiFi problem go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings.
And, did you reboot your router as Chris suggested? This should be your first step. When in doubt, reboot, is a good general rule for anything with a computer in it.

Have a look through this, it may provide solution
Just did a reset and all but still will not join the network. Will it work without the old sim card? should I leave it in or take it out?
You can try it both ways.
