Q: phone doesn't connect to home wifi anymore but laptop does.

Earlier today my iphone (4) and laptop were both connected to the home wifi however later today when I came back home my iphone wouldn't connect to our wifi and my iphone couldn't even find it. My laptop was still connected and the actual wifi router was on and working. I've tried the 'turn it off and back on again' trick but that didn't work.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1

Hello, frenchfry1997.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I see your iPhone 4 will no longer connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Sometimes a simple restart of your Wi-Fi router can resolve this issue. However, here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through for this issue.
