iPhone

Tap Settings.
Tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the (i) icon next to the Wi-Fi network you want your iPhone to forget. You will also see the blue check icon on the left.
And tap Forget This Network. A popup will appear saying “Forget Wi-Fi Network “MyNetwork”? Your device and other devices using iCloud keychain will no longer join this Wi-Fi network”. Tap the red Forget button.
Then reconnect again. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the name of the network and enter the password to connect.

2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz

Most routers support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. But not all AirPrint printers may support both frequencies. The main difference is that while 2.4 GHz offers internet to a larger area, 5 GHz provides faster internet speeds to a smaller area. Most printers can only connect to the 2.4 GHz wireless band. Your printer will not see or connect to the router 5 GHz band.

Stick your wireless printer on 2.4 GHz. Some routers provide different network names (SSIDs) for each frequency. If this is the case, connect your printer to the 2.4 GHz band.
