Why does not the iPhone connect to Wi-Fi? Diagnosis and problem solving

Many people use a wireless (WiFi) Internet connection, and there are many reasons for this. First, Wi-Fi provides more mobility than wiring with wires, it's obvious. Secondly, in the case of a wireless access point, the user is able to use several devices at the same time, while you can not connect a tablet and a smartphone to a cord in any way.

Connection via WiFi is convenient, but with it there are problems. For example, it happens that the user can not understand why the iPhone does not connect to the Wi-Fi. It would seem that all the data entered correctly (meaning the password), the network chose, and go to the Internet via a smartphone does not work.

On how to act in this situation and where to look for a solution to the problem, read this article.

General order

First, let's describe what scheme should be used to wirelessly connect the phone to the Internet. Perhaps, having studied it, you will understand why the iPhone does not connect to the Wi-Fi in your situation.

Using a WiFi-router, the wireless signal is distributed. Mobile devices, catching it, can access the network without the need to use cords and wires. However, to do this, you must obtain permission to authorize the network (if the latter is protected). Simply put, if the Wi-Fi is closed to enter it from your tablet, phone or any other gadget that you want to connect to the Internet, you need to enter a password (network key). After that, the system will recognize you and give you the opportunity to log in.

Accordingly, three connecting elements in the whole scheme are obvious: the source of the Internet signal (a cord from a special outlet for connecting to the Internet); Router, signal distributor; And, in fact, the phone itself. In some cases, instead of the distributor of the signal, another laptop appears (if such a function is available on it). When it happens that you can not understand why an iPhone does not connect to a Wi-Fi laptop, it could be in one of these links. Our task, in order to solve the problem, is to identify the cause of the problem and eliminate it.

Check the network

The first thing we do is diagnose our WiFi network. To find out if everything is working at the right level, and why the iPhone does not connect to Wi-Fi is very simple. Try to go online with another device. For example, try to connect through a computer. If everything went fine and access to the Internet is, then the problem is in the mobile phone and in the interaction of your iPhone and router.

Check the router

If you can not connect via phone, or through a personal computer (or any other device), then it's either in the absence of the Internet or in the settings of the router. Try to enter the browser from the device connected to this network and go to the settings menu of the modem - 192.168.0.1 (or another address - depends on the manufacturer of the router). The connection status will be indicated there. On it it becomes clear what the cause of the problem may be.

However, we will proceed from the fact that everything is in order with our network, but the matter is, in fact, in the phone (more precisely, in the settings).

Check your phone

To find out why the iPhone does not connect to the home computer's Wi-Fi, first of all go to the settings of wireless networks. Specify, does your machine see your network? If so, try to connect. Most often, WiFi is protected with a password. Find out if you entered it correctly? Perhaps, somewhere there was a mistake - and, obviously, it does not allow to connect to the network.

If the password is the same, but you can not connect, you can go to the network search menu and open the "Other" item. He is responsible for creating new networks with installed data. Here you will need to specify the name and password for the connection. This will allow the device to automatically log on to the network when it appears in the field of view.

The third option is the situation when you see the network, connect, but the Internet is not. Perhaps this is due to some limitations on the provider side - please specify this information.

Reboot, reset settings and repair

There are cases when nothing helps, and why the iPhone does not connect to the Wi-Fi only at home (or only at work), it's hard to say. In the consultation center, Apple argue that in this case you need to try resetting the settings or restarting the phone.

There are also more serious reasons why you can not access the WiFi network. For example, if the phone does not see any network, it means that the module responsible for the Wi-Fi connection may be faulty. This is a serious breakdown and, of course, to eliminate it will need to contact the nearest service center that repairs the iPhone.

Do without Internet access on your mobile phone, of course, you can. But, as practice shows, working through WiFi from your iPhone is faster and more comfortable. In addition, there is no need to pay for a wireless 4G-Internet, thus saving money is obvious. Therefore, if you encounter a problem, solve it and forget it!
