Q: iPhone 3G Wifi will not connect

I read a few forums and suggestions to try and make my old iphone connect to my wifi but nothing is working. I have the iOS 4.2.1 - i've tried to reset it several times but it still will not connect or even show my network. I've tried to type in my network and settings and still nada...do I need to revert back to an old iOS? if so how do I do that?

iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2, Wifi connection

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on². If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware². For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

Best of luck,
