Disconnect from wifi and reconnect?

Tried that.
Forgot the network and rejoined.
Reset my router.

So I am out of ideas already.

Gonna let my phone die (power button doesn't work) and hope its fixed when it turns back on.

Does your phone say it has an IP address on your wifi connection?

That'd be the problem. A 169.x.x.x IP in this situation means your phone didn't get an IP address from the router, and it won't be able to communicate with anything on your local network. Try disconnecting from wifi, forgetting the network, and then reconnect to it and re-enter the wifi password.

Yeah.

I forgot the network and turned off wifi (which I had already tried). Then I let my phone die.

When it turned back on I turned on wifi and re-entered the password and now it is working.
