After a week of trying all the various suggestions provided by members of
this list, I am down to two choices, there may be some funny blocking
feature of my router (Verizon fios provided) or take my iPhone to the
nearest Apple store and have them look at it. Thanks to all for the help.

question

   I don't know why you are having trouble with your network.  Unless
someone is familiar with this situation and can offer advice, I'd suggest
having your iPhone forget the network and then trying to reconnect from
scratch again.  It can't hurt, at least.
