When my boss originally had trouble connecting his 4S to our office Wi-Fi I check Apple forums for help and discovered that iPhones are notorious for software and hardware Wi-Fi issues. At that time his phone needed an iOS update, but refused to do that on mobile data. Fortunately he got it to connect to his home Wi-Fi, updated his iOS, and then it was able to connect to our office Wi-Fi. We had the same issue with 3 iPads, they would not connect to our office Wi-Fi until their iOS was updated elsewhere that worked with Apple's broken Wi-Fi.

Fast forward a month or so and suddenly he could not even turn on Wi-Fi on his 4S, it remained OFF and grayed out (hardware issue). He had to get a warranty replacement 4S.

But it could just be that whatever Apple does differently with its Wi-Fi than anyone else is incompatible with your home Wi-Fi router. But I don't know what to check for to find one that is compatible with Apple devices.

Between 2% and 5% of router/device combinations (based on my experiences at home and with friends) are not fully compatible. At one end of the spectrum, the device simply does not detect the network at all. At the other end it can have a very slow connection.

You might have to add a wireless access point (of a different make from your router) to your home network and set up a second Wi-Fi network just for your phone.

  • IPhone 4S Not Connecting to Wi-Fi Network? Starting today my iPhone 4S will not conect to my Wi-Fi. I've owned the phone since its 2011 fall release and have never had a Wi-Fi connection problem. Here are some troubleshooting ideas I have tried (all failed): Turn Power On/Off Reset Network Settings Reset router and modem Forget Network It is not the network's fault since my mac and iPad are successfully connected with no problems. Any more ideas would be great! iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, Black
