Try the troubleshooting suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if that does not help, a user has found that it helps to:
Go to Settings and turn Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Go to Settings and turn Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb OFF
If that does not help, backup your content and go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and then restore from the backup.
If that still does not help, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the technicians.

OKAY i was super scared and put the phone in the freezer the wifi worked for like 1 minute then kicks me out again.
I found a website the shows a step by step on how to fix it. I am not sure if I want to try it myself or take it to a repair shop
but the freezer definitely works as a temporary solution

neuralstatic..this method of yours worked for me, even after it was posted 2 years ago...thanks for sharing!
my situation:
wifi would not turn on, bluetooth was fine.
reboots and reset network did not help
BUT this helped
- turning airplane mode and do not disturb on
- powering off device for 2 minutes
- powering on and disabling modes.
wifi went from "off" to "not connected" and worked fine from then on.
I too was experiencing a similar issue with my son's iPhone 4S after he used up all of his data which has never happened before. We then realised that the wifi was greyed out and the Bluetooth wouldn't work. I tried a myriad of different things I found on the web including a hard reset, resetting my network settings and finally using iTunes to restore as a new phone. None of these worked so I then tried the freezer trick which also didn't work so my final resort was to try using the heat approach. Not having a hairdryer to hand (I was at work) I did manage to locate a heat gun which I fired into the headphone socket on the top. Within a minute, I noticed on the screen that the Bluetooth was live so I turned off the heat gun and reset my network settings. Hey presto, wifi was working again. I think that due to the headphone socket being on top it easily allows rain etc to get inside especially when being held up to your ear when making calls.
The exact thing happened to me too last night
You can try turn on WiFi by Siri (Say: "Siri turn on my Wifi") and Immediately turn off iphone wait couple seconds and turn on your phone.
On my Iphone 4S it works.
Hi Ralph, this just happened with my sons 4S. Tried the overheating; no luck. Thankfully your method did work.
So after all this years still usefull. Thanks!
