My phone doesn't connect to my WiFi anymore?

Before anyone says i never turned on wifi - i did. Also it has NOTHING to do with my router, as I am using it right now. On my S3, which ever network i connect to, including my neighbors it says 'Authenticating.....' then 'Disabled'?!

How do i fix this? I don't mind putting it back to factory settings,

but not now, if anyone can help, -twould be a pleasure.

I tried putting my password for my broadband [BTHomeHub2] and although it was correct, [I used static as well] it said Disabled... grr

    Did you enable "power saving" mode ? Sometimes that turns off my data randomly, I'm not sure how it could affect the wi-fi. Also, maybe you have an option on your router that specifies which devices are allowed to connect to it? Have you tried resetting the router? I use my s3 as a portable hotspot and I enabled the "only allowed devices" and sometimes the internet doesn't work right away either so I restart my phone. I know it's not exactly the same thing, but those are the only things I can think of.

  • Ring your network provider and ask them what's wrong.
