My iPhone 5c won't connect to my home internet?
My iPhone 5c connects to other Wi-Fi but not my home Wi-Fi. I know my home Wi-Fi works because all my other devices are working on it. I tried connecting and it keeps saying incorrect password or failed to connect. I know the password i entered is correct though. How do I fix the problem?
Typically this happens when a device (your iPhone) and the Wi-Fi network (your router) have an incompatibility. My experiences with this issue suggest it happens in 2% to 5% of router/device combinations. Symptoms include not detecting a particular network, not being able to connect to certain networks, or a slow or intermittent connection. Sometimes the connection will be slow, but fast enough for the user not to realise that the problem exists.
With a regular computer, the solution can be a different driver for the wireless adapter or even a different adapter such as a USB device. Unfortunately this does not help you.
The only answer I know of for your phone is to get a Wireless Access Point and connect it to your router by Ethernet. You can use this as a second Wi-Fi network (on a different channel and with a different network name - SSID) or you can disable the Wi-Fi in the router and use the access point as your only Wi-Fi network.
It might be worth asking Apple if they have an alternative driver, but I doubt whether one is available.
Too bad we don't know which Wi-Fi router. Try adding a leading $ to the password. Example: If the network password is "passW0rd", then on the iPhone, enter "$passWord".
We also assume that the current Wi-Fi router does not require the device's MAC address to be entered into the Wi-Fi router's Wi-Fi access list.
This was a common issue a few years ago on older Wi-Fi routers

- Why won't my iphone connect to my home Wi-Fi? I have an iphone 4 and whenever i try to connect it to my home Wi-Fi it says 'unable to join network'. On my parents' iphone the Wi-Fi works fine.

- Why won't my iPhone 4s connect to my home Wi-Fi? - 1 I didn't get the new ios update or whatever, but recently it hasn't been able to connect to my homes Wi-Fi. I've never had this problem before and my houses Wi-Fi doesn't have a password. It doesn't even seem to acknowledge that the Wi-Fi is there, and my iPad doesn't have this problem.
- 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…
