Have you ever tried to join a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone or iPad and received an error message saying the device could not join? Perhaps, and even more annoying, is when you hang with no sign of Internet connection when the recording progress indicator or falsely show a successful connection. This can happen regardless of whether your signal is strong or weak.

There are several steps you can take to fix these problems and join the Wi-Fi network of your choice. However, keep in mind that these fixes are not guaranteed for every situation as sometimes the problem can be related to the network itself and thus beyond your control.
Renewal of rental contract
The first and possibly easiest step you can take to resolve Wi-Fi connectivity issues is to simply renew your Wi-Fi lease. Basically, this will send a request to restart the connection with the IP address you lease on the network. This doesn’t always work to fix the problem, but it may work depending on your circumstances. It’s a harmless hit to take.
Just go to Setting and then Wi-Fi on your iPhone. Locate the Wi-Fi network your iPhone says you’re technically connected to and press the blue button Information icon on the right. At the bottom, tap Renewal of rental contract and tap it again when prompted.
Nothing will happen, but try opening Safari to see if you can open a web page now. Hopefully this has successfully fixed your problem, but if not, keep reading.
‘Forget’ the Network
Sometimes it’s helpful to just refresh your iPhone’s connection to a Wi-Fi network. This can be done in Setting. Then choose WIFI category and tap the blue Information next to the connected network. At the top, tap Forget this system.
Note: When you “forget” a locked network, your iPhone discards the saved password, so make sure you know it if you want to reconnect in the future.
This step is optional but recommended as it can increase your chances of success. After you “forget” the network, go back to the Wi-Fi panel and turn off Wi-Fi completely for about 10 seconds. Then turn it back on. This is an extra step you can take to make sure you’re starting on a clean media.
Finally, find the same Wi-Fi network and select it to try connecting again. Enter the password if prompted.
Reset your settings
If neither of the above fails, you can always try resetting your iPhone’s network settings. This will restore the network settings to the device’s factory defaults. All saved Wi-Fi passwords will be lost, so be careful.
To reset network settings, go to Setting app and press overview. Scroll all the way down to tap Reinstall. Finally, touch Reset Network Settings. Once prompted, verify that this is indeed what you want to do.
Wait a few seconds for your iPhone, then navigate back to the Wi-Fi connections panel in Setting and try connecting to your Wi-Fi network.
Important: Remember that if the three solutions above don’t fix your Wi-Fi problem, it’s probably out of control. If you notice that you can’t connect to a Wi-Fi network on various devices, it could be an issue with the network and/or router. On the other hand, if you notice your iPhone is having trouble connecting to multiple networks, you may have a deeper software or even hardware problem that needs repair.
