My iphone 4s won't connect to my Wi-Fi? - 1

Every time I go to the Wi-Fi section on my phone, it says it's connected to my Wi-Fi but when I click it, it's doing a circle thing next to the Wi-Fi name like it's trying to connect but can't. I've tried disconnecting my internet box and restarting it but that didn't work. I can use the Wi-Fi on my laptop just fine. I don't know what's going on. Help me, please.

Added (1). It's always worked before, and for some reason within the past few hours, it's started doing this.

Sounds like you have a mac address locked in your internet settings so no one can get into your network unless you log in and put your mac address in.

It sounds like the Wi-Fi router you have may be having some issues. Try unplugging your router and plug it back in. Don't reset it, as i don't think that's the issue, just a simple unplug wait 10 seconds and plug back in. Also try powering off your phone and that should do it.

Wi-Fi on the 4S and other iOS devices can be somewhat troublesome. A co-worker could not get his 4S to connect to our Wi-Fi at work until he was able to connect to his Wi-Fi at home to update his iOS so it was compatible with more types of Wi-Fi. That worked for awhile until he could not even turn Wi-Fi ON (it remained OFF and grayed out). Apparently it was a hardware failure and he had to get a warranty replacement phone.

Similarly our company got a bunch of iPads and they would not work on our office Wi-Fi until they were able to connect to some other Wi-Fi to update their iOS. The iPads refused to update using mobile data.

  • Why won't My sprint iPhone 4 won't connect to 3G? Before you say call them I already have ok. Today I had an upgrade but my aunt used it for her phone since I'm on her plan. It went good but then won't connect to 3G after that we called and they said something went wrong but nothing did so I'm wondering is there anything i could possibly do to fix it or should I call the place that did it? Or should I just call sprint or apple? Please help I have to use my phone a lot in places that don't have Wi-Fi.
  • Why won't my brand new iPhone 5C won't connect to my home Wi-Fi? I just recently bought an iPhone 5C for my mom, along with an HTC One. The 4G LTE seems to work fine on both of them, but my iPhone can't seem to connect to my home internet (the HTC connected perfectly fine). I'm 100% sure I'm inputting the correct password, and it always comes up with the same error: "Unable to join the network '[my Wi-Fi name]'" I've tried turning the phone and router off and on, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick…
  • My Wi-Fi won't connect on my laptop but will connect to my other devices (an iPhone and iPad)? I have a MacBook Air. Sometimes it does connect but other times it just won't. It takes ages connecting and then in the end comes up with the exclamation mark or is just blank. Is this a problem with my laptop? I've tried researching the problem but have found nothing.
