Hey shearemi92,

Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you are having issues automatically connecting to Wi-Fi with your iPhone 4S. The following troubleshooting assistant may lead to a resolution:

Apple - Support - iPhone - Join a network Assistant

For more in-depth troubleshooting, refer to the following article:

Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi

- Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.

- Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."

- If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.

- If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

Thanks,

Matt M.
