My iphone won't detect Wi-Fi anymore?

All of a sudden my iphone won't pick up Wi-Fi! I dropped it, and it seems that around that time it stopped working, is that the answer? I've tried to reset network settings, turning on airplane mode, etc. But nothing will work. I really don't want to restore it, that is a huge pain. So any suggestions on how I can fix this preferably without restoring?

Try entering the name of the network manually… That might do the trick

It sounds as if the Wi-Fi antenna part of your phone broke. It could have just been a coincidence it broke when you dropped it, but usually they just stop working on their own. Take it to ATT and see what they can do. Restoring might work, you can back up your data on iTUNES so it's not that big of a pain.

  • Why won't any computer detect my iphone 5? Hi! I have an iphone 5 and i've always had my phone unlocked until now. My brother put a pin on the phone as a prank and now we don't remember what it is. I can unlock it if i connect it to itunes but no computer detects the phone. I tried different cables and multiple computers. What's weird is that if the iphone is off and i connect it to a pc it turns on. What can i do?
  • Why won't my iTunes won't detect my iPad 2 or iPhone 4S? My iTunes version is 10.6 and it won't detect my iPad 2 or iPhone 4S in the devices tab. My computer recognizes it as an iPad and an iPhone but it won't show up in iTunes. I have uninstalled everything related to iTunes and Apple and re-installed iTunes and that did not help at all. I need some help. Thanks! I forgot to add. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Lilpuppy: i updated to iTunes 10.7 and it still will not recognize my devices
  • Redsn0w can't detect iPhone? Trying to jailbreak my iPhone 4 (ios 6.0.1) and redsn0w just can't detect my phone what so ever. I've tried it in DFU mode (iTunes detected that it was in recovery mode but still nothing from redsn0w) and not in DFU mode and it still won't pick anything up. It's redsn0w 0.9.15b3, any advice please? D
  • My iPhone won't detect home Wi-Fi? My iphone only detects my home Wi-Fi when its right next to the router! If i move 5m away or into another room, BAM. Goes back to 3G. This is really annoying. I have tried to forget the network and reset all network settings. They don't solve the problem. Any suggestions or information would help greatly.
