Help Won't connect to wifi!

Anyone know why my phone suddenly won't connect to my home wifi? I've tried forgetting and reinputting the password, rebooting, disassembling sdcard and simcard... nothing. I just get this screen showing that the network is saved and secured but it won't turn on. HELP!

update: after resetting my router a couple of times, the problem fixed itself

I had this issue a while back and found it had to do with the security setup of my router

No idea why it just started having problems, when I had not changed anything and had been working fine, but I even went so far as to spend $200 on a new router and had the same issues... but after changing the security setting it all started working again.

Greetings from Amber, finndo! What are the steps to change the security settings? This keeps happening repeatedly every couple of weeks where suddenly all VZ devices in the house refuse to connect to the wifi until I reset the router. The problem never affects non VZ devices.
