Wi-Fi Problem

Just recently, my phone has been having some trouble with Wi-Fi. It connects to my home router, but it just doesn't actually connect. It doesn't load anything from any app or website.

I know it can't be the router because my computer and other Wi-Fi connected devices in the house still work... but I just don't understand how my phone can't connect.

I've tried restarting the router, forgetting the connection and trying to connect again, a combination of both, a bunch of other things, all the way down to just powering off my phone out of frustration and turning it back on praying that it just magically works once, but obviously to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Out of curiosity is the phone rooted? If you've changed ROMs/kernels recently this can cause WiFi connectivity issues if you didn't do a clean install. And definitely check your advanced settings in the WiFi menu.

Do you have wifi turned on in settings?

Yes

Nah it's not rooted. Just stock with the Ice Cream sandwich update

I had a fairly old wireless router when I got my SGS II, and I had problems with the router when I tried to download apps with the phone. The router worked fine with laptops. I replaced the router with a new one and the problems went away.

Maybe the router has MAC filtering security setup to only allow registered MAC ids to connect?
