    Wife's iphone can still connect to the home network. This AM, my iphone suddenly cant find any network. Other than the wifi on/off in settings, could my son have accidentally touched something?

    I dont believe the iphone has been dropped within the last month, and wifi was working just fine yesterday. Bluetooth still works.

    Any thoughts?

    Disconnect all of your connections from your modem, router & CPU. Even power.

    Reconnect them & try again.

    Somtimes depending on how my connections are running a device will still pick up the router but won't have network access.

    It's not exactly what your describing but it's worth a shot.

    Or you can also try resetting the router (like turn it off and on again). Sorry if you already tried doing this. Im just suggesting just in case :)

    QFT. It did not occur to me that one small feature would randomly stop working and be fixed by a reboot, but that is exactly what happened.
