iphone 3gs ( no wifi ) issue

[Soundguy]

ok.. Have wifi at the house. use it often with my tablet. KNOW it's working.

iphone.. last night.. went to check weather.. had an issue getting it to update.. so tried to go online.. it kept using 3g.. went to settings, and network.

the wifi line is greyed out and says 'NO WIFI'

It does not say 'NOT CONNECTED'

I cannot tap ont he button and bring up the wifi setings page.

I turned phone off then on.. no change. turned airplane mode on then off.. still nada..

ideas?

Of all the stupid stuff my iPhone has decided to do, that's a new one to me.

Is your wifi a 2.4 or 5 GHz? If a 5, your tablet might be compatible but your 3GS definitely isn't.

probably 2.4 but don't know for certain.

phone WAS working on it . I did replace my router within the last 2ys.. but the phone always works onthe house wifi.. or has been till last night. ( have had the 3gs for a while obviously due to it's being oldtech now.. )

Cant speak to the Apple, but my wifes Android, did more or less the same thing. I had to go to Customer support with verizon, get an over the air bug fix.. reboot, worked fine before, works fine now.. can't begin to tell you why it puked.. It did it at the Tractor dealership on their WIFI, just stopped working, and I could not get it to work again at any wifi, including mine at home...This was 8 months ago. and it has worked fine every day since.:confused3:

Here is a link to an article from Apple discussing the problem and some possible resolutions. Maybe one of them will fix you up.

could be what this has done.. some kind of software glitch in it's programming and it may need a patch.

i'm gonna go read up on that link posted a mssg down.

I'm no apple nut either..

Sir Soundguy...I tried to duplicate your problem but can't seem to. One thing that comes to mind is do a reset on your phone. Make sure you have a backup on your computer or prior on iCloud.

Just because you can't get wifi signal wouldn't be a reason for the phone to say "no wifi".
