Your iPhone won't connect to Wi-Fi? Every time a new version of an operating system is released, new problems appear. These problems are usually related to autonomy, overheating or, what this entry is about, the WiFi connection. Some users have reported that you have Problems connecting to your WiFi network, something that can be quite annoying and even have a negative impact on our data plan. In this article we will show you several possible solutions to one of the most common iPhone problems.
What we want is for you to find a solution to typical WiFi problems on the iPhone or iPad. whatWhat to do if it does not detect WiFi networks or is disconnected? Do you have poor signal? Look at the following solutions that we propose because they will solve the problems you have with the Internet connection of your iPhone using wireless networks.
restart your devices
The first thing we will try is to disconnect and reconnect the WiFi from our iPhone, iPod or iPad. It is what we have closest at hand (from the Control Center) and it is the most comfortable and fastest. If this doesn't fix it, we will restart our device. The next thing we'll try is restart our router.
Forget WiFi network
Something that can work is forget our WiFi network. To do this we will go to Settings / WiFi, we will touch on the "i" next to our WiFi network and we will touch on "Forget this network". Once forgotten, we reconnect manually to see if the problem is solved.
Reset Network Settings
If the above does not solve the problem, we will go to Settings / General / Reset / and touch Reset network settings. This will cause the network settings to be reset, so we will have to re-enter all the passwords for the WiFi networks and, probably, reconfigure the APN of our operator.
Enable/Disable Wi-Fi Assistant
Since iOS 9 our iPhone, iPod or iPad can connect to the mobile network if the WiFi does not provide us with a good connection. It is also possible that this option is causing us a failure, so we will try to activate/deactivate it to make sure that it is not the root of our problems. To activate/deactivate the WiFi assistant we will go to Settings/Mobile data and activate/deactivate WiFi Assistance.
Disable location services for WiFi Network Connection
If the problem persists, we still have one thing left to try. To deactivate the location services For Wi-Fi network connections we will go to Settings/Privacy/Location/System Services and deactivate Wi-Fi network connection.
Clean restore using iTunes
And, as always, if none of the above has worked, we'll do a clean restore with iTunes to rule out software issues.
Is your iPhone still not connecting to WiFi? We hope that with these tricks you will no longer have any problems when connecting to a wireless network from your iPhone or iPad.
I am with beta 2 of iOS 9.1 and all the problems I had with the wifi in iOS 9.0 and iOS 9.0.1 have disappeared
hello how can i download the beta version ios 9.1? update to 9.0.1 and it does not allow me to activate or connect to wifi
None worked for me
My problem is that I connect to a network and when I move away from the modem it disconnects
I know this is not here, but the twitter and facebook applications are very slow on iOS 9. I slide up or down and the applications jump. It is exasperating that with an iPhone 6 these lags are experienced
yes, I'm still fatal iOS 9.0.1 with iphone 6 super slow too lag
It tells me to disconnect from the internet and I cannot update iOS 9.3 and it cannot with anything
I was slow with the Wi-Fi connection on my iPhone but today from one moment to the next it did not want to connect anymore, I already tried everything described on the page, I was restarting the break even with the internet company but nothing worked, I restored the iPhone to factory, start from zero h either, what can I do?
Thank you
AFTER UPDATING TO IOS 9.2 IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO ACTIVATE OR CONNECT TO WIFI .. it shows me the icon with a black circle when scrolling from bottom to top .. Help
The same happens to me, I tried everything and it's still the same
I took my mobile to have it checked at ishop (it is an authorized distributor of apple in mexico) they did tests and they told me that the wifi was working correctly that it was possibly an update problem that would restore it (which they told me in apple too and out of fear not I have done it I thought that with the update it was going to improve so it was worse on occasions it does and sometimes it takes time to connect to the Wi-Fi network that is to say when I get to a site that I have the network already on the mobile this also happens to my best friend) I suppose it is the update that has not yet corrected the error Adam is the option to restore it, you have a backup before you can do it in icloud and deactivate search for iphone before doing the restoration from iTunes and without backup leave it as new. Try it for a day like that and you check it, you can download your contacts from the copy of icloud because if you restore it from itunes you can pass the error (it was what a main support advisor told me e de apple) you have to try and if not always this technical service
The same thing happens to me as well and according to what they say is a problem with the antenna, and they also say that the system is not valid because there are these problems, Apple should do the same as it did with the 4s and offer us a change of equipment.
This is happening to me now .. And the iPhone restarts every so often, how did you solve it?
It happened to me exactly the same after updating to 9.2 my iPhone 6 is in dark gray the wifi icon,
I am activated but I do not see a Wi-Fi signal, none does not detect them
HELLO JAVI HEAR IF YOU COULD FIX THAT PROBLEM AND HOW DID YOU DO IT?
I also have that problem on my iphone 4s, from one moment to another I stopped grabbing the wifi, I still had the option to activate / deactivate it, the only problem was that no network was detected, either from my house or from any other side, but after resetting the network settings, the problem got worse (you could say) in the control center the wi-fi icon was replaced by a gray circle, preventing me from activating it, I have even in the configuration options it prevents me do it, blocking the entire screen, with a grayish color as a sign that it is not possible to interact in that part.
The truth is that I no longer wanted to try any of the other methods so as not to be wasting my time, now I only have to go to a technician to check the matter and verify that it is not a problem with the software, but with the hardware.
The same thing happened to me and I solved it in a strange way ... I removed the sim, I restarted it without sim and it already let me access the wi-fi settings and connect normally
Thanks Dzzy ami tmb it worked for me.
Thank you very much I tried many things but this was the only thing that worked for me
Hi MAX, the same thing happens to me with an iPhone 6, I don't know what to do anymore. Did you find any solution?
since the last update on my iphone the wi-fi connection is a catastrophe… I have to be less than 3m from the router to receive a signal !!!! If I move away more than 5m I lose it !!!!
The same thing happens to me Alicia, if you find a solution please let me know.
Thank you very much in advance and greetings
The same thing happens to me, they have told me that the antenna may be damaged. If you found a solution, please share it, you are desperate.
I have an iPhone 6 and I don't have the campar tif internet icon !! How do I make it appear? Funny
Guille and others the same thing happens to me when I move away from the router, the signal is lost, so I opted to change the antenna, I acquired a new antenna (iphone 5), I replaced the technical service and the phone remains the same, it loses signal when moving away from the router…. friends, the problem is not an antenna, the problem is in the wifi chip of the main board :(, it is solved by applying controlled heat (reflow) on the chip in question without abusing and thus achieving connectivity without it being lost again … Good luck to everyone
I have a 6 plus with IOS 9.2 and the connection with wifi does not work well, other cell phones with Android on the same network fly and I like a slow car !!! I have already tried everything and it remains the same, also when all the other calus detect the Wi-Fi network, mine does not, I have to try several times to achieve it. I'm re hot !!! But for example, if I have a good 3G or LTE signal, my cell phone flies much faster than with Wi-Fi !!! please help !!
I also have the same problem, super boring because in my house the signal from the operator is very low, and by obligation I have to connect to the Wi-Fi, but since the update to iOS 9 ... I am literally disappointed with the iPhone, instead of improving ! They go down with such absurd problems I hope a solution is found soon, I am buying an android It is very exasperating to have to stick to the modem for an IPHONE 6 plus to connect well
have you already solved it?
Hello, I have the same problem, my wifi did not serve me more than a meter away from the router, and with the last update it has been worse, I literally have to be next to it to be able to get a signal, I wanted to know if you could solve it, or if someone knows how to do it, this problem makes me desperate.
I updated with the ios 9.3.1 and now it connects to the wifi but does not navigate: is someone the same thing?
I have problems with my iPhone 6s Plus, the wi-fi appears, it asks me for the password, if I enter it, it says incorrect password, verified the other computers, the password is fine and connects normal and that happens with all wi-fi networks, the wrong password appears I don't know how to solve it I've done everything but it doesn't work
Friend happened to me precisely today! It asked me to update my iPhone update and my wifi fails sometimes, I mean, the signal is full but it does not send and does not receive data more than sometimes.
Hello good! I have a 6GB iPhone 64S Plus, I bought it yesterday and I have the same problem: wrong password. Did you find a solution?
I have exactly the same problem since upgrading to IOS 9.2. The horrible cell phone overheats and the bad wifi, I thought my cell phone was damaged, now there are android that measure up to iOS and at a much more comfortable price. I had always chosen iPhone for its quality and durability, but apparently these phones are more expensive every day and provide less quality and comfort to the customer. They became just a brand and nothing more.
to me it connects and disconnects sometimes from wifi (ios 9.2.1) it is already less ios than with ios 9.2
I have to be very close to the router to access a network! This problem consumes all the megabytes of my plan! I already tried everything they say and nothing.
hello someone help me update the iOS 9.2.1. and the wi fi icon is gray it does not turn on.
hello ginnette sorry .. could you solve your problem with the wifi icon in gray or is it still the same ... I have an iphone 4s with ios 9.2.1 and I have the same problem
hello I have the same problem with the recent update of iOS 9.2.1, the truth is that Apple does not have a mother now is to wait until February 5 for the next update
I have the same problem and I can't find a way to solve it
Ahh that bad I until days ago I began to see the weak Wi-Fi connection and I have to be
Nearby so that the connection is not lost I have version 9.2 and I thought that my wifi had been damaged or something but when reading all the messages I see many problems just like mine
I have the iphone 6. It does not connect the wifi. And I always get a text message with the following. REG-RESP? V = 3; r = 1911692942; n = + 51942899868; s = 0256B2AC6EFFFFFFFF18D7C755DC4666E840B3E908770F9F631481CFC9
I already did all the steps but nothing. Any suggestion?
Having tried the previous options and without an effective solution, I tell you that in my case the only thing that worked was deactivating the low power mode! If any works for you, try this!
It happens to me that it connects but does not navigate. I tried going to the network, I give Forget this Network, then I connect again, I pass the Proxy to Automatic mode and I say Renew Lease. The only thing is that every time you disconnect from the network or lose the signal due to distance, you have to do the same.

THIS DOES WORK, THIS IS THE SOLUTION !! I'M SO HAPPY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION, IT FIXES ME. GUYS HAGANLOOO OMG
Corriendito I'm going right now to change the wifi microchip to a mobile of hundreds of leuros with a Russian tutorial and disassembling another previous iPhone, how I did not think about it before.
SOLVED
I had the problem that my IPHONE 6 with my own home WIFI that has 3 MB speed, it was too slow, I could not even enter YOUTUBE, using 3G data it was different, my iPhone became an airplane but the cost is high .
What I did was go to configure my Laplink ROUTER and change the channel that was set to automatic for 1, and that's it, my iPhone now flies with my WIFI.
I clarify that I did not do the test with other WIFI only with mine.
Excellent. iphone 6+, 9,2.1. it worked for me to activate wifi assistant. Thanks a lot
When I connect to any Wi-Fi network (even sharing Wi-Fi from another phone), it throws me an error of incorrect password, this happens to me in all Wi-Fi networks that I try to connect.
If you could help me, I would appreciate it, since it causes me many problems and I am spending a lot of data.
The same thing happens to me, you already solved it
Update to the 9.2.1 version and the sim car does not read me and the wifi does not appear so that it appears I put the modem next to it and I have wifii I put the password and it tells me invalid being correct.
update my iPhone 6 with ios 9.2.1 for error 53, and now I cannot access the wifi networks since the icon appears in a very faint gray color and it is not possible to activate it, could you help me
Hello Friends, I was the same as you and after hours of looking for a solution I went to modern and changed the name of my wifi and password and guess it worked magically, it is the router that sometimes goes out of configuration and this happens, hopefully this will help you DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE THE CHANGES!! Greetings from Chile
Reset Network Settings worked for me. Thank you for posting this solution to this problem.
Hello friends, I have an Iphone 4s and I have the same problem with wifi. does not connect, the icon is grayed out and I have tried all the above options and it has not worked for me. The only thing that I found to be visualizing it in a youtube tutorial was applying heat to the iphone with a hairdryer and activating the block with temperature. Once it crashes, wait for it to restart and restart again. Restarted for the second time, wifi is activated and can be accessed without problems. This solution is for a while and when the Wi-Fi icon turns gray again, you have to repeat the procedure. I understand that this problem is software and apple has not given any solution yet. I hope it works for you and I also hope that apple fixes this problem.
Hello, I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 9.3 final having the beta, it gives me an error that tells me to disconnect from the internet, I did all your steps and it tells me the same thing, I need your help please.

Hello everyone, I have the problem of deactivating the wifi icon, my computer is a 4s IOS 9.2.1, I tried the solutions in the post and nothing, the only thing I need to do is update the computer but I read in others post that it is not recommended to update since being 4s will lose some functions. Hope they share a solution if someone finds it. Greetings!
After the update that I did, I can no longer activate the wi fi, I have already updated the iOS to the latest version and nothing that is solved now I cannot connect with the wifi only with the data that I do when the data is finished as I can fix
PLEASE HELP every time I connect to a network and put the correct password, it launches me that the password is incorrect, do you have any solution ??? help me please 🙁
I have an iPhone 6 and it does not want to work the wifi, it is Gray, I took it to the iizone store in my country, Dominican Republic, after a month and a half, they tell me that they have no solution, that the iPhone had no answer to this case, the cell phone is not under warranty; but I was willing to pay for the arrangement.
I would like the address to communicate to the iPhone.
I have an IPHONE 6 iOS 9.3.2 and the Wifi signals do not appear unless it is next to the router. I have already tried all the settings suggested above but it remains the same.
Does anyone know what happens?
Is it a technical or version problem?
And what should be done
Hello Mauritius, the same thing happens to you, it worked well for me and a week ago the wiffi does not connect me unless I put myself right next to the router, my boyfriend has another iPhone 6 with the same ios 9.3.2 He no longer happens to him and he finds like 10 wifis and I can't find any, if they find a solution or something, let me know, will it be from ios or will it be a problem with the wifi antenna?
Hello, I have a 5s, the wifi works very well with iOS 9.3.2 but the Bluetooth does not find any device to connect and goes into a loop
I have 6 iPhone, two 6s plus, one 6s, one6, one 5s and 5c when updating all but the 5c, the wifi fails, it does not connect or is turned off, I have changed two Apple iPhones for two new terminals, and exactly the same thing happens , I have reported apple, but I have no answer, so guys, this iphone is starting to be a poop, this has disappointed me …….
hello jose how good and been looking for a solution to my problem since I have an iphone 6 plus.,.,., the problem arose when I updated to ios 9.3.2. It connects me to Wi-Fi but I can't update apps or download anything, I get an impossible message to download the app. Now all my apps do not work for me.,.,. I uploaded to ios 9.3.3 in case it was solved and nothing the problem persists. I tried everything they say in the most channel and nothing ..,. I restored it and nothing.,. simply if I use a vpn the problem disappears..without the return.,.,. what apple failures.,.,., greetings,.,.
When reading all the comments in this post, it is clear that there are several options for failure of the wifi: Configuration settings, iOS version problems and Hardware problems with the wi fi antenna.
You have to try everything to discover what is the fault that your Equipment has
Good friends, if many of us have this fault, I have an iPhone 5 and it does not recognize many Wi-Fi signals. I have little signal. I would like you to help me with some suggestion or solution. Please, I need Wi-Fi. I cannot be next to the router all day. Thank you. HELP !! D:
I really tried everything, it connects to the Wi-Fi network but it does not navigate, I restored the phone as factory, I restored the network settings, and still it does not navigate ... Really a very bad experience sincerely, it is my second iphone, the previous one was the 5S and also from one day to the next I stop connecting to the wifi .. at least this one that I have the 6S connects but does not navigate .. I hate that I have apple.
My wife updated her iPhone and she has the problems mentioned here, I didn't do it, just that I spend it every day declining the little sign where she asks me to update but it is better to do that than suffer the problems.
IMPORTANT: I have been trying to see the root cause of these problems, and do you know what worked at least in my case? Reset the modem, turn it off and turn it on or disconnect the cables ... Two days ago I tried this at peak times and the truth is that it worked wonderfully, previously I connected wifi but did not navigate. I understand that there are wifi frequencies that, as we well know, work in hertz or hertz, (GHz is the normal frequency of a wifi network) but what happens, there are frequencies of 5 and 2.5GHz, which being the first 5GHz they are available for distances shorter and does not support as many devices. Consider the connections you have and try resetting the modem. Greetings and I hope to help you in whatever way.
Ah! I forgot, this is by way of trial and error, as the days go by I will continue to test the operation, for the moment it works like this. I hope that is the problem, maybe the iphone supports frequencies that I still do not understand, but the idea is.
Super good advice. The option to Disable WiFi Assistant worked for me. Thanks a lot!! No more anger at my iPad
I have iPhone 6, I change the chip and the wifi stops working 🙁 I already restored from iTunes and it remains the same, someone who can help me? I am now on IOS version 9.3.5. This problem has any solution?
Juan I have the same problem!
It happened to me that the wifi appears in gray after updating an iPhone 10s Plus to iOS 6, has it happened to someone else? Do you know the solution?
Hi Edgar, I had to change the screen a week ago, after two days I updated to ios 10 and after 3 days of being working well the wifi does not connect, when the signal is connected it is very weak regardless of how close it is of the router and I have tried all the possible solutions of this post, nor restoring it from the factory. It keeps failing me, I am about to take it to see if it is the antenna that has been damaged when changing the screen but I think this is an IOS error. If I get a solution I write, greetings.
Palma exactly the same thing happens to me I have an iPhone 6, they changed the screen and now the remote wifi does not grab me I must be glued to the router or no more than a meter and a half away if someone found a solution to the problem I appreciate your comment.
Wave!! I had the same problem a couple of months ago, it was to update the device and the wifi failed, I took it to Apple to fix it and they gave me a new one, it is under warranty! And that mine above had a broken screen and they didn't make me pay anything! Good luck and regards
Hello Good morning my sister has the problem in iPhone 6 that both wifi fails, as well as gps and mobile data.
I have no place to carry out that iTunes backup, the IOS version I have is 10.3.2, and it seems to me that it brings problems of origin with the Wi-Fi, could it be that it cannot be solved? Slds.!
APPLE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH SOLUTIONS. IN MY HOUSE, WE ARE TWO WITH THAT ANNOYING PROBLEM OF THE WIFI CONNECTION, AND, AS WE ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT, AS AUTOMATORS, IS REMOVED, MAKING YOU RESTORE THE PHONE, LOSING TIME, KNOWING THAT IT IS NOT THE SOLUTION.
I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE APPLE IN MY LIFE, AS FANGORIA SINGS ...
These phones are very expensive and are disposable, they do not last and what you can do online is limited
but there are people so stupid and ignorant that they buy them because they feel cool or of a lot of money, what assholes
I have used one, it is crap, I stay with ANDROID !!!!
Nothing has worked for me, it seems to me the worst thing that can happen to a mobile phone today. : /
THANKS FOR THE HELP.
I SOLVED MY IPHONE SE PROBLEM
GREETINGS
