I am having the same issue also! We have 2 iPhone 4S's and an iPad. They are all unable to connect to our home Wifi, but the laptop is working just fine. This has been a problem for about a week, so I updated my phone to the new update 6.1.3 and I still cannot connect. The Wifi has been turned off and it's greyed out, so I can't even try to reconnect.

Apple have introduced a serious issue in 6.1.3 and all my iOS devices are affected except for one on which I have not accepted the update. Absolutely nothing else has changed in my home. And searching the issue shows many many many people are suddenly hitting this issue with 6.1.3.


Come on apple admit the issue and fix it or let us go back to 6.1.2 which works just fine.


For the helpful people here talking about rebooting and upgrading routers, I'm sorry to say that whilst your suggestions are valid generally for isolated issues, it is utterly UNTRUE for anyone to claim that 6.1.3 is not the culprit.

Hi


I have also faced same kind of problem after upgrading my Iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3 ,


earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was using Security Type WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,


Today I have created "adhoc network" on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept Security Type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,


So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',


How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

I have encountered similar problem - I could connect to my wifi but cant access internet - The problem was due to overlapping of IP address and DNS - Just go to setting option- > wifi connection > select your wifi network > there is ">" infront of wifi network , click on it >, just see whether your IP adrress and DNS is same under DHRCP tab, if yes got to static option - copy your IP address from DHRCP and put your DNS as 8.8.8.8 its a universal DNS , work on all networks - try this your and phone will work fine
