Hello Crystal, Not certain if somebody has already helped you on this or not. If you are trying to change over to a different encryption on a Wi-Fi.
Several things have to happen. First, if you are simply just want to start over with an existing connection you have with a Wi-Fi. You just need to go to the Settings -> Wi-Fi. Now find the connections you want to change. Find the More Info for it. Double tap on this. You will find the Forget This Network button. Go ahead and double tap on this. Now you can re-connect to this Wi-Fi again in providing the credentials for that Wi-Fi. Understand that the iPhone is smart enough to know if you are going to a WEP or to a WPA encryption. So once the credentials are entered. You are done. It will set up based on the encryption on for that Wi-Fi. On the actual Wi-Fi router itself. This is where if one wants to change the type of encryption. There are no protection, WEP, WPA, WPA-2, and so and so on. Once you tell the router what encryption you want. Reboot it. Go back to your iPhone and do the steps I have mentioned above. It will then automatically know what encryption the Wi-Fi router has set for it. Lastly, there is a section for the more advanced users. If you go to the Wi-Fi page it. Find the Other button. Double tap on this will lead you to a page where you can manually enter a network name plus the encryption type. You must correctly enter the exact same information that was given to you by the router or by a person with that knowledge. It will then prompt for credentials if needed.

I need to change the security setting for my wi fi connection. I would like to change it from WEP to WPA. I have checked the iPhone settings for my wi fi connection, but don't see any place to just make that change. Will I need to delete my current network on the iPhone and start over?
