What on earth is going on with my WiFi?
Yesterday, in an effort to conserve as much battery power as possible, I turned screen brightness down to zero and shut off WiFi for a couple hours. When I got home, I put WiFi back on. Three or four bars are showing. My WiFi is listed. However, everything I am doing is resulting in loading or network in progress or the request timed out. I have tried cycling it off and on again; nothing. Tried rebooting. Nothing. The WiFi connection is fine on my MacBook. Any ideas?

Re: What on earth is going on with my WiFi?
Hi Christine, How did you disable Wi-Fi? How did you enable it once again? Asking in the event you may have used a method different than mine as the way I have been doing it has caused me no headaches.

RE: What on earth is going on with my WiFi?
Hello Christine, Assuming that you are disabling and enabling the WiFi on your iOS device correctly, I suspect that your WiFi router is not assigning your iPhone/iPod a local IP address. This is not extremely unusual in my experience especially if one does not reboot the router from time-to-time. Try doing the following: 1. Power off all of your WiFi enabled devices that are connected to your WiFi router. 2. Power off the WiFi router. Leave the router powered down for at least 1 minute to avoid accidental parameter reset. 3. Power on the WiFi router. Wait at least 3 to 4 minutes to allow the router to reconnect to the Internet. (As I have no idea which router you have, the numbers I'm giving you are just rough estimates.) 4. Now power on your WiFi enabled devices. Hopefully, they will be good to go.

Re: What on earth is going on with my WiFi?
Hi Christine, I suggest you first attempt a less drastic approach to solving this issue as your router might request information of you which you don't readily have such as a password or Wi-Fi related parameters. If you have this information ready to go, then you may be just fine in completing the process described below. Joseph - Original Message - From: M.
