It has happened before and now it seems to be happening again. Maybe on some occasions, iPhone refuses to connect to a Wi-Fi network in particular or one of them. And while this is usually due to an error in the network itself caused by the router, the cause can also be in iOS itself.
What to do in these situations? If we check that the WiFi works perfectly on other devices, we can try some things to see if the iPhone connects well. Let’s see these little tricks in order of importance.
How to Reconnect iPhone to WiFi Network in Multiple Ways
First, the simplest thing: the WiFi network not working on the iPhone, it resorts to turn on airplane mode and hold it for a few seconds. Then turn it off for the phone to reconnect to the network. It is possible (even probable) that it now works correctly.
The second thing you can do is, from the “Wi-Fi” panel that you can find in the iOS settings, choose to forget the connection settings for this network to force the iPhone to recognize the network again. You can do this by clicking on the letter ‘i’ next to the WiFi network and choose the option “Bypass this network”
If that doesn’t work, you can directly try restart iphone. Keep in mind that when you restart the mobile, it will surely ask you to enter the SIM card PIN code and the lock code.
And as a last option you have heavy artillery: Reset network settings from the iPhone. You can do this from Settings, in the General section > ‘Reset’ > ‘Reset network settings’:
In this case, the iPhone will forget all the passwords of the Wi-Fi networks it has connected to and generate the factory settings. It can be tedious to re-enter all those passwords, but sometimes it’s the only thing that might work if there’s some kind of error in those settings.
If at this point the WiFi still does not work, it is better to check the quality of this network again because it’s more likely that the router is the culprit not the iPhone itself. Perhaps, although it’s rarer, the router has some sort of blockage preventing the iPhone from connecting properly. Or the most typical thing to happen: a coverage problem.
