Why won't my Droid Razr Maxx connect to the internet?

I have had the Droid Razr Maxx for several years.  Recently (especially since the last update), my Droid Razr Maxx's internet connection is extremely poor and mostly non-functional.  In fact, I normally shut off the WiFi since it rarely works.  It does not function in my home or any other place.  My router is fine and many other devices connect normally to my router (it is not the router).  This seems to be a Droid Razr Maxx problem.  I've removed all connections from the device, but nothing seems to work.  I included the phone information below.  Is there any viable solution to this problem?  I'd appreciate any help.

Android version:  4.1.2

System version: 98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US

Well, I think I may have figured out the problem.  The guest network on my router was apparently interfering with my regular network and not allowing my Droid Razr Maxx to connect.  Once I shut the guest network off, I've been connected to the Internet for 8 straight hours today.  No drops, just a clean connecting all day long and streaming music all day long!

So, for me, the solution to this issue was turning off the guest network on my router.

Thanks, B33.  I did the long press and forgot all networks, power cycled, and also wiped the cache completely.  I still cannot connect.  The WiFi icon is blue, but there is no connection (sometimes there is a brief connection, but then it is lost).

Are there any other suggestions out there?
