DId you clear the phone's cache in recovery mode? If not, I would give that a try.

I used to do IT connecting wifi networks. 90% of the wifi connection issues are from the wireless router. It's either going bad or just needs to be configured properly. If not configured properly it might have been working fine before then all of sudden you have issues. It might also work fine for other devices but only have issues with one or two devices. I spent a lot of time on the phone with the different router manufacturers because the settings are sometimes different on each individual brand. Routers also have a certain lifespan. At one point you will start to get disconnected constantly or have to reset the router all the time.

I would first check to see if you have a problem connecting to wifi in another location. That way you can determine if it's your phone or your router setup, but I'm betting it's not the phone.
