How to forget a Wi-Fi network on iPhone

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the (i) next to the network, then Forget This Network. Join it again and type the password fresh.

How to do it

  1. Open Settings > Wi-Fi.

  2. Tap the i next to the network that is misbehaving.

  3. Tap Forget This Network and confirm.

  4. Join the network again and enter the password.

This does not change the password on the router. If other devices still connect, the password you type should be the one they are using. If nothing connects, the router is the problem, not the phone.
