Hey Junior,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
This can be caused when media access control (MAC) address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi® network,add the MAC address of the BlackBerry® smartphone to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network.

Hey Junior_2003,
Check the product documentation for the wireless router for information on MAC address filtering to see if this is enabled on the Wi-Fi® network.
Thanks.
