For about 7 days now I've not been able to connect to my home wifi on my android phone.

My PC is connecting ok via wifi & my tablet is connecting ok via wifi. However my phone does connect to another saved wifi on my list (at my parents house). therefore, I'm confused whether the phone is at fault of my wifi...but I'm urging on the side of the phone being at fault??

When I try to connect to my wifi on my mobile, after inputting the password & pressing connect, it states...."connecting...connected...saved...wifi connection failure". But it will not connect. This has only been happening for about a week, & I don't know how to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated.........

This is one of those situations where 'turn it off and turn it on again' sometimes works.

Turn off your phone. Remove the power to your router (rather just turning it off, as that often only invokes a standby mode). Wait a minute or two. Turn both back on again and, after waiting a minute or two for all the lights on your router to stabilise, try connecting again.

I certainly can't guarantee that will work but it's amazing how often it does!

If it doesn't work, remove the connection from the list of saved ones on your phone and then try connecting again from the beginning.
Check it has the correct password for your home WiFi.
The router recycle is a good idea; sometimes one wireless connection gets given the same ID as another so there is a clash. Starting from scratch resets them all.
