If your router is configure to use WPA, change it to WPA2.

That one's a no-brainer anyway..... not only is WPA2 apparently also vulnerable, it's supposedly miles better than WPA.

If your router is configure to use WPA, change it to WPA2.

Is your router configure to filter out MAC address? i.e. only allows device with the pre-defined MAC addresses to use your wifi.

Are you running WiFi manager app such as Wi-Fi Privacy Police on your phone?

Google NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_ASSOCIATION_REJECTION for more info.

I suggest you do as popping said, i.e. Google it - there's LOTS of info about that problem, including some videos.

Any chance your phone is a recent acquisition, and the router has been configured to allow a certain number of devices to connect, i.e., for instance, the household had 5 devices to connect, so whomever configured the router set it for 5, and then you got a phone and can't connect, because that would be device #6?

There's also a possibility that the router has a security protocol in use that your phone doesn't use, i.e. maybe your phone is old???

Lots of possibilities, and not enough information.....

Have you tried doing a forget network on your phone with the WiFi ssid that you're having issues with?

[Paulad]

I don't know...I will have to check

Ok, but that is not happening for me.

I have restarted the router several times, everything else in my house connects and has wifi but my phone. I have attached a pic of what my phone is saying when it won't connect.

@PauladIf you can't connect to your wifi, have you tried restarting your router/model/phone? Your post is blank, its only the subject.

This really has nothing to do with public mobile, but maybe we can help you. Can you give some more details of what hardware you have, and what is currently on the network (what service provider, what router, other computers, tablets, etc) and their status? What is the exact error you are getting and from where?

You don't get the IP address until you sign in to your wifi
