Refer to the Following:


I. Updating an iPhone:

Use a Computer:

Have a computer handy? If so, use a computer to do so. Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip


II. Troubleshooting WiFi:

Try The Following in the Order Provided...


A. Restarting the iPhone:

If any changes were made (i.e. Installed Apps), then Settings (i.e Wf-Fi), may have become manipulated technically. So, try restarting the iPhone:

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Shut Down
  4. Slide: Your Finger to the Right

Try disabling Cellular, and using Wi-Fi instead, seeing if that makes all the difference. Cellular always overrules Wi-Fi.

  2. Select: General
  3. Scroll to: the Very Bottom
  4. Select: Shut Down

  8. Try this Once More


D. Reset All Network Settings to Default:

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Network Settings.
  5. Enter: [Your Passcode]


As a Last Resort:

E. Restore form a Backup:

Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.
