Make sure your device is connected to the internet
Use any web browser to connect to any website. If nothing is loading, use another device on the same network to see if it can connect to any website.
If other devices can access the internet, check your VPN and third-party security software on your device.
If no other devices can access the internet, turn off your Wi-Fi router, then turn it on again to reset it.
If you still can’t connect to your Wi-Fi network, contact your internet provider for more help. If only your first device can’t connect to the internet, get help with Wi-Fi on your iPhone or iPad, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch, Apple TV or Mac.
If you use mobile service to connect to the internet on your iPhone or iPad, make sure you have mobile data turned on for the app you’re using. To do this, open the Settings app, tap Mobile Data, then turn on Mobile Data.
Update your software
Update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, visionOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS or software for your non-Apple device. Then try to connect again.
Check the date and time
Make sure the date and time on your device are set correctly for your time zone. If the date and time are incorrect, update them or turn on the option to set date and time automatically. Get more help with date and time.
On your iPhone, iPad or Apple Vision Pro: open the Settings app. Tap General, then tap Date & Time.
On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click General, then click Date & Time.
On your Apple TV: Open the Settings app. Click General, then click Date and Time.
Try a different network
If you can, try to connect using a different network. If you’re able to connect using a different network, contact your network administrator or internet service provider to report the issue.
If you still can’t connect
If you’ve tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, try again later. A service outage might have recently started.
