Try resetting your network. Settings>general>reset>reset network settings

Thanks. Wish it was that simple. Tried that and reset the modem.

Do you know that the router is actually working? Do you have a laptop or something else that you can try?

Does it even recognize your WIFI? If so than it might be a password problem due to the reset you did. Try opening your network.

Yes it's working. Have a home office setup.

I hate to admit I dont even have it password protected. It does recognize it but the phone says " unable to join the network NETGEAR" so what am I missing. I will say that I did do a reset on my iphone and cant help wondering if something went wrong then.

Same here... I was connecting fine one day and suddenly I get that "unable to join network" MSG ... I can connect fine if i am right next to the router but if I move even 5 feet away I looses connection... It's the phone not the router because I was able to connect to the router using a different 4s that belongs to my friend.... I even tried to restore my phone back to original wo using backups and that didn't fix the problem ... Please help.
