iOS 7 wifi "unable to join the network"

I have an iPhone 5 that I upgraded to iOS 7 on 9/18/13. My phone and wifi connections worked fine until this morning 9/21.


Now when I have tried connecting to 2 different wifi networks, my phone is giving me the message "unable to join the network." I don't know why this is happening, has anyone else had this issue?


Wifi has worked the past few days since I completed the update to iOS 7. It has shown as connected a few times today, but no data will load when this happens. I am hesitant to restore the entire phone unless I am sure it will fix the issue.


Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

iPhone 5, iOS 7

I didn't have the option to "Forget this network" on my iPad for which I was getting "unable to connect to the network." As of today, there are 765 users having the same issue. :- ( I was able to solve my connection problem when I found another link on this forum and followed the steps: unable to join the network https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5632030

Resetting the iOS by holding the power button and home button simultaneously, restarting modem and router, then resetting network settings in Airplane Mode, finally allowed my iPad to connect to the network. If your "Forget Network" solution doesn't work, perhaps this one will.

Dear,


I had this issue with sevral IOS devices at my company.

I did everything : forget network, switch off/on wifi , reset all network settings.

Issue was caused because on the same Wifi Network , there were several SSID's , some with open security some with WPA2...

when forgetting all the wifi networks off the same phisycal wifi network, rebooting and then adding tat 1 specific network -- saved the issue


Good luck
