Hey, Via here with AppGeeker. Today we'll show you some fixes when your
iPhone won't connect to a Wi-Fi network. Whether your iPhone won't connect to Wi-Fi
at all but other devices can, or your iPhone doesn't keep connecting to
Wi-Fi, it drops quickly once connected, we'll explain
what causes these Wi-Fi connection problems on iPhone and how to get them around.
Okay, first, commonly, the corrupted Wi-Fi could prevent you from connecting the Wi-Fi
network. So, your first step to fix iPhone not connecting
to a Wi-Fi network is to turn off Wi-Fi for a few seconds and then turn back on.
Next, if you've enabled Airplane mode, the Wi-Fi will stop working at times or become
slow. In this case, just turn it off, then connect
your iPhone to the Wi-Fi again and see if it works.
Also, your device that can't connect to Wi-Fi might be due to the activated Bluetooth.
Toggle it off if it's on.
If you're near the router, your iPhone Wi-Fi is on
and you've entered the correct password to join the Wi-Fi but you still cannot connect
to the wireless network, your device software may get crashed.
To fix this issue, restart your iPhone. Turn off your device as you usually do.
Drag the slider to power off the phone. Wait a few seconds, hold down the Side button
to turn it back on.
If your device still can't connect to the Wi-Fi,
but other devices of your family members or your friends can do the connection,
the operating system may go wrong and it's time to update the software.
As it's hard to do the update when there's no Wi-Fi connection on your phone,
you can rely on iOS System Recovery program to do that.
Aside from the Wi-Fi connectivity issues, it can also wipe away other potential software
errors that causes your iPhone not working well
like being stuck at black screen, getting frozen, not turning on and so on.
To use the tool, go to appgeeker.com. Under the Products menu, choose iOS System Recovery.
Then, download the tool on your PC or Mac and install it.
Now, launch the software. From the bottom left of the main screen, select
More tools. In the next screen, click iOS System Recovery
panel. Here, click the Start button to go on.
Plug your iPhone into computer.
Once it successfully detects your iPhone, highlight Standard Mode and click Confirm
button. Now, you're asked to download an iOS firmware
package. Just select the latest iOS version and press
the Next button to trigger the download process. When the download is complete, click the Fix
Now button. Your device will update. Once it's finished,
your iPhone will restart. See if the Wi-Fi is working now.
If your iPhone can't connect to Wi-Fi at your home,
but it's able to connect to the wireless networks in other places
like your company, Starbucks, or coffee shop, try restarting the router and modem.
This is easy. All you need to just unplug the cable from the modem and router.
Wait a minute. Then, plug the cable back to turn them on and try to connect to Wi-Fi.
If your iPhone can connect to the networks and get online, the modem or router just temporarily
gets corrupted.
If your device still will not connect to the Wi-Fi or it even won't enable you to join
the network, your next step is to forget the Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings app and tap WLAN. Tap the information icon next to the network
that your device can't get Internet access from.
Choose Forget This Network and tap Forget to confirm.
Once you've done forgotten the network connection, it'll go back to the wireless network interface.
Now, scroll down to find the Wi-Fi, enter the password and see if it's connected to
the network this time.
If your device can connect to Wi-Fi but won't stay connected or it's not connecting to the
network at all, it's possible that the Internet settings are
misconfigured. To sort it out, you'll need to reset the network settings.
Take notes that this step will not only reset the Wi-Fi networks to remove the errors that
prevent your iPhone from connecting to Wi-Fi, but also reset the cellular settings, the
saved Bluetooth devices, VPN and APN settings and more.
To do that, head to Settings, General, scroll all the way down to tap Reset, tap Reset Network
Settings. Enter your lock screen passcode and when asked,
tap Reset Network Settings again. After it restores all the network settings
back to their factory defaults, connect to the network and see if it can fix the Wi-Fi
issues.
If your iPhone won't connect to any Wi-Fi networks, you'll need to factory reset the
device. This will delete everything including the
not working Wi-Fi networks from your device, so be sure to make a backup first.
Tap Settings, General, scroll down to the bottom and choose Reset.
In this time, you'll need to tap Erase All Content and Settings to bring your device
back to its original status.
If all fail to fix the Wi-Fi connection problem, go to Apple Store to get your iPhone examined
and also contact the router's manufacturer for help.
Okay, that's pretty much it for how to fix an iPhone that won't connect to Wi-Fi.
