Your iPhone won't connect to the internet – Solutions

Today more than ever, our mobile devices are a fundamental tool for our day-to-day, whether to work, study or simply to stay in touch with our friends and family; we can't live without them. That is why it is so important that we always have a stable internet connection. However, who hasn't suffered a network connectivity problem at some point?

For all these reasons, in this iRepairs article we wanted to compile some solutions for the most common problems that prevent your iPhone from connecting to the internet. Do you want to know more? Keep reading!

What are the most common problems?

Before addressing the solutions, it is important to know some of the most common problems that can prevent your iPhone from connecting to the internet, among which we distinguish two main ones:

• Wi-Fi problems: sometimes, connectivity problems are due to problems with the Wi-Fi network you are trying to connect to. These can include a weak signal, an incorrect password or problems with the router.
• Mobile data problems: if you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network, your iPhone should be able to connect to the internet through your mobile data. However, sometimes problems can arise with the configuration of your mobile data or with your service provider.

How can I fix Wi-Fi problems?

If you are having problems connecting to a Wi-Fi network, you can try the following solutions:

1. Restart the router: sometimes, simply restarting the router can solve connectivity problems.
2. Forget and reconnect the Wi-Fi network: if the problem persists, you can try to forget the Wi-Fi network in your iPhone's settings and then reconnect.
3. Verify the Wi-Fi network settings: it is also possible that there is a problem with the configuration of the Wi-Fi network you are trying to connect to. Verify that you are entering the correct password and that the network is configured correctly.

How can I fix mobile data problems?

If you are having problems connecting through your mobile data, you can try the following solutions:

1. Verify the APN configuration: make sure that the APN configuration on your iPhone is correct. APN stands for «Access Point Name». The APN is a parameter that is used on mobile devices to establish the internet connection through a phone operator's network. Each operator has its own APN, which contains the information needed to connect the device to its network and be able to browse the internet, send text messages or make calls.
2. Restart your iPhone: just like with the router, sometimes simply restarting the iPhone can solve connectivity problems.

And what if none of the above works?

If the previous solutions do not work, you can also try the following options:

• Update your iPhone's software: it is possible that a connectivity problem is due to an error in your iPhone's software. Make sure you have the latest version of the software installed to fix possible errors.
• Restore your iPhone to factory settings: if all else fails, you can try to restore your iPhone to factory settings. This will erase all the data and settings on your iPhone, so you must make sure to make a backup before proceeding. To restore your iPhone to factory settings, follow these steps:

1. Connect the iPhone to iTunes on your computer.
2. Click on the iPhone icon when it appears in iTunes.
3. Select the «Restore iPhone» option.
4. Confirm that you want to restore your iPhone and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Once the restore process has completed, your iPhone will restart and you will have to set it up again as if it were new. If you have made a backup previously, you can restore it to recover your previous data and settings.
