Your iPhone or iPad won't connect to Wi-Fi. Try these steps.

Do these steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Check Wi-Fi is on

   Open Settings and tap Wi-Fi. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on.

2. 2

   Step 2: Tap your network

   Tap the name of your home Wi-Fi. When it's connected, you'll see a blue checkmark next to it.

3. 3

   Step 3: Check Airplane Mode

   Go back to Settings and make sure Airplane Mode is off.

4. 4

   Step 4: Check another device

   Try the internet on another phone, tablet or computer at home. If nothing works, the problem is the internet, not your iPhone or iPad.

5. 5

   Step 5: Restart the router and modem

   Unplug the internet box (the router, and the modem if you have a separate one). Plug it back in and give it a few minutes to start up.

   Call your internet company to ask if there's an outage in your area.

Last resort: reset network settings

1. 1

   Step 1: Know what this erases

   This erases all saved Wi-Fi passwords on the device. Have your Wi-Fi password ready. It's often on a sticker on the router.

   Step 2: Reset

   Open Settings, tap General, then Transfer or Reset iPhone (or iPad). Tap Reset, then Reset Network Settings.
