No problem

When you plug in your phone and open iTunes, there's a "Restore" button on the summary page.

Yes (your contacts would be lost), unless you were smart and sync'd before the disaster happened. Then you will be fully restored to whenever you syn'c last.
If you never sync'd after all that hard work, I'm not even sure I can feel sorry for you. Who can own an iPhone and NOT sync?

Another suggestion if the first does not work. I had a problem just like this and I tried everything. Reset, restore, turning off the phones wi-fi, turning on airplane mode and turning back off. Turning off the phones wifi and using edge worked but it did not solve my wi-fi issue. Since none of that worked, I finally just reset my homes wi-fi. After the shut down and restart of my homes wi-fi I was up and running again. I was starting to sweat it, thinking I had a phone problem!

Is the wifi connection yours, or are you piggy backing on somebody elses network? Sometimes you can connect to a wifi router, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can use the connection to access web pages. Have you tried the wifi connection with another device - a laptop for example?

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
James Joyce (1882 - 1941)

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams (1957 - ), 'The Dilbert Principle'

There are a lot more from where this came.
