My new iPhone 5S only had it for four days. At first, connected to my home network no problem. But now, I just get the message "Unable to join network" Nothing to do with passwords or anything. Please advise.

My iPhone 5S is acting up- not allowing me to join my home wifi network.  Tried all resets, reboots, etc. and even some suggestions from online.   No dice.  Please advise.   It's a brand new phone.

before you do a hard reset, go into wifi and "forget" this network, make sure you put your key in correctly and try again

Did you change your wifi password? Are you able to connect another device using the same password key?
