IPhone 4S no longer seeing 5 GHz Wifi signals with iOS 7
iPhone 4S no longer sees 5 GHz wifi band.
With iOS 6 the phone saw and connected to the 5 GHz band.
I just updated to iOS 7 and the band is not even shown.
The 2.4 GHz band was always seen, and now it's the only one.
Restarting did not ameliorate the problem.
Solutions?
Try resetting network settings. General > Reset > Network Settings You will have to put your wifi password back in.

IPhone 4 no longer picks up WiFi signal
Has anyone else experienced this?
My iPhone 4 which is less than 2 years old, no longer picks up WiFi unless it is right beside the router. This means I am having to rely on 3G signal in my own home! No other electronic devices in my home are struggling with this issue. This is still an issue when I am in other places with WiFi, the phone ocassionally recognizes that there is WiFi available but by the time it starts to connect all the WiFi signal has been lost again.
I have tried:
- turning my phone off and on.
- updating my phone
- turning on and off my router
- searching for a solution to this online, but it seems I am alone in this issue.
Help! Please! What should I do?I restored my iPhone and nothing has changed except I have lost several hours of my life trying to make sure everything is backed up and then trying to reset all my apps.
I restarted the iPhone as a new device, still no wifi connection or ability to recognize any wifi networks. -
After 10.7.4 update can no longer see home wifi signal
Ever since I updates my MacBook air my home wifi ( the one I used for the update) no longer shows up on my computer. It shows up on my mac mini and iPad and my MacBook air can connect to other networks. Any ideas?
No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages. -
I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus. I cannot get it to connect to my Airport Extreme V5.6. It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel. Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering and channel on the old airports?
This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

Hi Everyone. My MBP 7,1 didn't have any wifi issues not until 2 weeks ago. The laptop's battery got empty and when I tried to turned it on, the computer just froze. So I tried to reset it. However, I noticed that the wifi or airport can no longer detect any wifi signal. There were instances that it wouldn't turn on when I shut it off but now, it seems okey. I tried the zapping of PRAM and deleting all the things needed as I saw in different threads but it still not working. The ethernet works fine but I still need the wifi. Its been 2 weeks already. I don't have an Apple Store near me coz I am in southern part of Philippines. Can someone shed light on this? Thank you so much.
Hi!! To add more to the issue, the other day, my airport card is nowhere to be found. It now says no airport card installed which is really crazy. I also noticed that my MBP freezes during start up and I had to zap the PRAM so it would open up. Anyone there who experienced the same thing? I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Boosting o2 Wifi signal with Airport Express
Dear all,
I had read that one could boost our o2 Wifi signal with the Airport Express. I don't seem to be able to do it! Can anyone help.
DetskyIt is possible if the wireless network is created by another AirPort Express (AX), an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule. Otherwise it is not possible.

On my iphone 5 , i m facing slow wifi issue. Ios 6.0.2 didnt resloved it.any one please told me ios 6.1 fixed this issue or not b/c i m right now not in a mood to install the ios 6 .
It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem? -
If I were to buy a new iPad 2/iPhone 4s or 4, would it start out with iOS 5?
I've heard some very bad things about 'legacy' devices running iOS 6. Specifically I hear that when the iPad 2, iPhone 4s and 4 are updated to iOS 6, the battery life is reduced and wi-fi connectivity becomes less reliable.
My question is, if I were to buy a brand new iPhone 4s today, would it come pre-installed with iOS 5 or 6? And if it came with iOS 6, would I be able to get an older operating system?All new stock should be running iOS6 out of the box by now,
iOS6 works fine on most iOS devices .
Maps app is not an issue in performance
Over the air updates did have a bug with thermal controls making phones hot and battery life fall.
Restoring and updating via iTunes often corrected this.
The wifi issue have read about but have not seen myself.
Circumstantially it appears to be related to early 802.11n draft routers and actually may be router firmware based. -
hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?
Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

I updated my iPhone 5 yesterday and it replaced ios6.2 with iOS 6.1 has anyone had this problem?
You are confusing your iOSs...

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.
I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

Iphone 3gs extreme weak wifi signal with wrt160N - suggestions?
Linksys wrt160N v3.0.00 build 010 Jan 30, 2009
iphone 3gs firmware v3.1.2
Set up network to include a few laptops with N cards, a PS3 – all ok
When it comes out of sleep mode it connects at full signal strength , then within 15 seconds drops to just the one dot
Under a dLink G router, full signal strength right up to 30 feet outside of the house
Here in condo just purchased the Linksys and standing right next to it i get a practically non existant wifi signal
Go back to parents house with g router , works perfectly.
I thought the N router is set up to be backward compatible and if need be broadcast in G mode for G devices
Is there anything I should be aware of in the settings.
I followed the basic setup - no manual fiddeling with any of the settings.gv wrote:
1. You can check all the settings through the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/
2. As long as your iPhone maintains a connection and does not really slow down it does not matter how many bars the iPhone shows. I think the iPhone has problems calculating the correct signal strength on 802.11n routers. I have seen something similar on a dlink router. My iPhone jumped from 5 to 1 and back. Most of the time it was at 1 bar. Yet, I had perfect connections and normal internet speed. Thus, check internet functions on your iPhone. Unless you loose connections or they get extremely slow I would simply ignore it.
Problem being is that I'm not sure where to check via the web interface as to what mode it's on right out of the box.
The only way, recalling from last night's attempts, is if I go in and select the manual settings option rather than the wifi protected button, which would then allow me to enter manual settings.
Only there, would I know what it would be set at because I would obviously have to set it. I'd rather not go into changing manual settings unless absolutely necessary at this point.
As for the iphone not displaying the signal strength correctly - I'd have to say it is, given the following download speed test results: 27, 95 , 28, 149 kbps (not the most spectacular) compared to say 9388 kbps when the iPhone initially comes out of sleep and connects to the network. The signal drops to the one dot within about 10-15 seconds approximately.
With the old dLink G router, the signal strength registered full and download speed tests supported that, same as outlined above with the weak signal and corresponding d/l results.
