My iphone 5 can't connect to wifi even after entering the right password. The thing is it keeps displaying incorrect password for every different wifi I tried to enter. Reset network settings doesn't work, neither is reset all setting. Anyone has this problem?
I was going crazy, trying to connect to wifi. I backed up the phone, restored it and I still couldn't connect. I was a Sprint customer and had trouble with them for so long, I switched. But when I was trying to wipe the Sprint phone when I got the new AT&T phone... I discovered a trick! You have to put the phone into recovery mode and restore and then add your backup... Here are the instructions. Now the wifi works!
How to perform a recovery-mode restore
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
None of the suggestions works. I believe it has to do something with the type of 802.11 network protocol -- the iPhone somehow stops working with certain type of networks. I need to verify that with known networks. All in all I suspect it is either an iOS problem or even hardware error. As this seems to be a wide-spread issue hardware malfunction would reflect badly on Apple.
Have 5s, only four months old, stopped connecting to wifi. refused to recognize correct wifi password. Husband tried "hard reset" as mentioned above, tried DNS 8.8.8.8 etc., finally tried unplugging router for 30 seconds and phone then recognized wifi password. Hope this lasts. I'm worried. Good luck.
It might seem silly but Take OFF any protective case on your phone. I initially took of the protective plastic on the case and it worked but the signal was low. And to save myself unnecessay hassle I took the whole casing OFF and wifi is working great! Sometimes we tend to ignore the most obvious Problem!
Hi Friends
Remove the phone cases and try to reboot/restart it will work,
As it is know that the iphone 5 and 5s antenna signals are bit weak it is recommended
to use some silicon or wave/signal supporting cases.
if the problem still exists, remove the sim card and start your phone without the sim card,(sitting next to your wireless Modem)
I hope it is helpfull

hi what access control are you referring to? cause i have the same problem
My phone doesn't connect to any wifi either. Just tried to connect to the wifi at work and didn't work. Had some coworkers try and they all had no issues
Hi kimbui I have the same issue with my iphone!😟
Resetting everything on iphone 5 does work. I successfully connect to every wifi
Nice try, but that didn't do the trick on my 1st gen iPad mini. Just forced me to have to re-apply background image, passcode, and all restrictions...and probably more.
I had similar problem with new 5S. WiFi recognized but WPA2 password constantly rejected. Hard restart fixed it for me.
thank you
I have the same problem
I hope that it woks after I removed it
i try this hard restart and unplug power modem for 10s . then i can connect to my wifi normally. hope this help.thz
Hi,
I am using I Phone 5. i am unable turn on WIFI and Bluetooth options in my phone at all. Please help me in this.
I plugged in my phone to my computer using the cable and synced itunes. Then, straightaway, I was able to detect the WIFI signal I wanted!
I had the exact same problem and solved it by turning OFF my WPA2 security and then I was finally able to connect to WIFI. And then I turned the security on again, everything worked fine.
Iphone 5 can't connect to wifi at all
