iPhone 13 Connected to Wi-Fi But No Internet? Here’s How to Fix It

Is your iPhone 13 showing full Wi-Fi bars but nothing loads? You’re not alone. This issue can stem from anything — a random software glitch, network outage, or even a corrupted Wi-Fi profile. The good news? In most cases, it’s easily fixable.

Here’s a complete guide to troubleshoot and fix the no internet connection issue over Wi-Fi on your iPhone 13 running iOS 15.


Before You Begin

Make sure to check:

  • You’re running the latest iOS version
  • Date and time are set correctly (preferably set to automatic)

Also, test your internet with another device — like a laptop or tablet — to figure out whether the issue is with your iPhone or the network itself.


1. Toggle Wi-Fi Off and On

A quick Wi-Fi refresh can clear temporary glitches.

  • Go to Settings > Wi-Fi
  • Turn off the switch, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on
  • Reconnect to your network and test the connection

2. Try the Airplane Mode Trick

This method restarts all wireless radios on your iPhone at once.

  • Go to Settings > Airplane Mode
  • Turn it ON, wait 10–15 seconds
  • Turn it OFF again
  • Reconnect to Wi-Fi and check your internet

3. Reboot Your Modem/Router

Your network gear might be the culprit — especially if other devices are also affected.

  • Unplug the router or modem from power
  • Wait 60 seconds
  • Plug it back in and let it fully restart
  • Reconnect your iPhone and test the internet

4. Restart Your iPhone (Soft Reset)

System hiccups can block network access.

  • Press and hold the Side button + Volume button
  • Slide to power off
  • Wait a few seconds, then turn your iPhone back on

You can also do this by going to Settings > General > Shut Down


5. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi

Your saved Wi-Fi profile could be corrupted.

  • Go to Settings > Wi-Fi
  • Tap the (i) icon next to your network
  • Tap Forget This Network
  • Reconnect and re-enter your Wi-Fi password

6. Reset Network Settings

This clears all saved Wi-Fi networks, VPNs, and cellular settings — but leaves your personal data intact.

  • Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
  • Tap Reset > Reset Network Settings
  • Enter your passcode and confirm

After rebooting, reconnect to your Wi-Fi and test again.


7. Reset All Settings

If a deeper system config issue is to blame:

  • Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
  • Tap Reset > Reset All Settings
  • Enter your passcode and confirm

This won’t delete your data, but it will reset preferences, permissions, and Wi-Fi.


8. Perform a Factory Reset (If Nothing Else Works)

Only do this as a last resort — and back up your iPhone first.

  • Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
  • Tap Erase All Content and Settings
  • Follow the prompts to complete the reset

After that, set up your iPhone as new or restore from a backup.


Bonus Fixes

  • Disable VPN: Go to Settings > VPN, and toggle it Off
  • Update Your Router’s Firmware: Log in via your router’s IP (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)
  • Contact Your ISP: They may be experiencing outages or routing issues
  • Call Apple Support: If you suspect the iOS update caused it
