We definitely don't want your data to run out. Let's get this fixed right away. When you attempt to connect to wifi, do you get an error message? If so, please tell us what does the error state. You also mentioned it will only find the wifi when stiiting next to the router, does it fully connect when sitting next to the wifi?

Thank you for all of the details, missylhale. Let's keep taking steps to ensure your phone works just as well as the others in your home.

Please run a diagnostic on the device at your earliest convenience View Device Health Check - MVD - Apple iPhone | Verizon Wireless Has the phone done exactly the same with other routers? When you attempt to connect the router to the phone, are several other devices connected? Have you attempted to connect only your phone without other devices?

When I get to the manage tab Run Health Check is not an option. First one is Edit Device Nickname

MISSYLHALE, thanks for checking for us. I apologize for the steps not aligning for you. The health check we suggested is important because it points out potential issues with your phone. Lets make sure we are providing you with the correct steps. Are you on the New Verizon Plan or a older one?
