My Samsung Galaxy S III can't detect the wifi at my apartment. I know the router works because both my laptop and my sister's laptop connect, as does her IPhone. I have never had an issue connecting to/finding wifi with my phone. Even now my phone finds and connects to other wifi (in restaurants, stores, etc). I've tried turning the router on and off and resetting it, but neither has worked. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated! :)

If the router is set to not broadcast the router ID then the S3 won't see it and you will have to manually connect to it.

Hi thanks for responding! Do you still think it is not set to broadcast if I can see the Network on my computer and my sister can see it on her phone?

Is your wifi turned off on the phone. If it is set to 4G
it may not pick up wifi.

If you have possibility manage of the router you have to change radio channel or region value. Please also give us information about model of the router.

I have the same problem. Laptops, desktops, phones and TV all connecting perfectly. Only my (2 month old!) Samsung Galaxy Pro Tab is unable to find the WiFi. Tried resetting router but no change. Worst of all, the Galaxy used to work perfectly! Think it stopped working when we added a satellite TV box to the network by using the WPS button on the router. Help, please??!?

I don't have too much info regarding my router since it is all in Italian.. It is a TeleTu model.. Does that help at all? Also, we have someone new who has a Samsung and at first couldn't find the wifi, but now she can.. She it is just my phone that can never see the wifi here

Maybe S3 can't get the router DHCP ip,you can try to set static IP.
