Re: Trouble connecting to wifi with 2 different iPhones
For what it's worth, I solved the issue. I reset the network settings with no change. We finally called techn support for the Internet service and solved the connection issue by turning Wifi off and then on again. Then when I put in the password, everything worked perfectly as before.

Trouble connecting to wifi with 2 different iPhones
Greetings. My wife and I are having trouble connecting to my in-law's wifi network. I have an iPhone 5 and she has a 4. We have tried restarting our phones,and I have deleted the network and then rejoined it. I also tried disconnecting the ethernet cable from the router, waiting 30 seconds, and then connecting again with no change. I am fairly certain that the wifi is not working since I have tried updating apps in the App Store, and when I start the updating and then return 10 to 15 minutes later, the apps have not updated. And the app update is about 10 MB in size, so it shouldn't take any time at all if on wifi. Even though the status bars on our phones say that we are connected, I don't think we really are. Anyone have any ideas? Other devices in my in-law's house connect just fine, like the computers and laptops.

Try resetting all network settings by going to settings general reset reset network settings. Do this on one or both devices and see if this helps.
