    The first thing you should try is to reboot your router by powering it off, wait 20-30 seconds, then power it back up. This is especially true if those devices that don't connect now, connected fine in the past.

    Hi lopez101, welcome to 7F! :)

    strollin, offers a good suggestion.

    It could also be, your devices may have lost their Security Key's (case sensitive) which the reboot may fix.

    If not you will have to go into your wi-fi router settings and find it. Then enter it, into the appropriate setting on your devices.
    Our wi-fi router has a 16 character alphanumeric key.

    I would offer more insight, but we will need to know what devices, and router you are working with.

    Is it all three or just the iphone?

    Have you tried checking the security settings for your three devices to see if they have an entry for the security key?

    If you want further help you will have to provide the make and model of those three, plus the make and model of the router you are using.
    That will allow me, and or other members to know exactly what devices you are using and the steps needed to help you find and apply the key to your three devices.
