S5 Wifi Issues?

My S5 won't connect to my home wifi but has no problem connecting to my work's wifi, I have tried resetting both with no luck, why won't it obtain the IP address at home/how can I fix it? It had been working since I got the phone in February, but this weekend aka after I installed the new update I have had trouble connect it to my wifi.

Check the configuration on your home wireless, specifically the channel number I have heard the S5 having issues with higher channel numbers, but you should verify what other neighbouring wifi's are setup for channel-wise and try to find one that is not overlapping the strongest.  Stick with only 1-6-11 channels and use the following app to see what channels are most available. When you run it you will see all the available wifi signals and what channels.
