not the first device? the modem, but the HH3 via wifi, I thought it was the HH3 broadcasting the wifi signal and what you connect to?
upped the youtube playing videos to 35, also on wifi, not a single problem, 1 hr, hope I don't get a call tomorrow lol about high usage, all in the name of science!
with the ipad and iphone, normal usage, not seen a single drop in wifi connection, seems to be when the device is being heavily used, with playtube, it converts and downloads the youtube video to play offline on the device
playing seems to be fine, just when downloading when it has a problem -
Anyone having wifi issues on the 3gs after updating to 6.1.3?
Recently got rid of an iphone 4 that was having wifi issues after updating to 6.1.3 but wanted to know if any 3gs users are having issues with wif after installing the same update? Currently on 4.3.3
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -
Hi all,
I have been having awful Wifi issues with my Note 3, and I've been reading similar reports elsewhere on the web. My bed is less than ten feet from my Wifi router, and yet I regularly get the "connection is unstable" notification and it drops.
I am just a few days outside of the 14 day return period. Is there any way I can swap to a phone with more reliable connectivity?
Thanks!We appreciate the additional details relating to your device Pfhortune! The next best step would be to complete a hard reset on the device to restore the settings back to the manufacturer recommended functionality. Please keep us posted once this is completed, thanks!

Hello everybody.
I just bought an E5 and I'm having some trouble connecting to my wifi router. The cellphone connects to my router, and after checking for internet connection, it goes to a blank screen (I think it's supposed to be a webpage) and it doesn't load anything.
Sometime it gaves me an error about "server couldn't respond". At first he wasn't even seeing my router, but then I restarted it and it started to see. Now he connects but won't work. Do you guys know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Solved. It just started working out of nothing.

Having wifi issues, can't connecti
Ok here's the issue that I've been having for some time now. We have multiple devices connected into our router: iPhones, macs, Xbox, directv, blu ray etc, All the others devices can connect to our netgear no problem but my phone. I have to turn off the router and back on again to connect. I have tried to reset my network sethings and that hasnt worked as well as I have also tried to forget and rejoin the network. At this point I'll try just about anything to get this to work. Any feedback and ideas would be greatly appreciated
Who was this technical support store? If you want to buy a new phone you'll have to pay full price for it or a subsidized price with a service contract.

Hook up iMac and iPad then trust computer
Computer accept iPad
Download Camera Roll pics to iMac
Complete iPad Auto download to iMac in iTunes
Sign on to iTunes
Log on to Wi-Fi

I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 and Im having wifi issues
WHen Im connected to wifi I cannot send or recieve email from any of my email accounts and I cannot connect with KIK messenger. everything else works fine though. ANyone have any thoughts on this ?
You cannot. It is a security feature and there is no workaround.
Restore the iPhone using iTunes and then use your backup to
put your data back on the iPhone. -

WiFi issues with iPhone 4S & ios 6 update
Okay here is my issue...
I've been reading alot of issues that people have with connecting to WiFi with their new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or other devices but I have no trouble connecting to WiFi at all. My problem is that WiFi wont 'work'. The WiFi I'm hooked up to at home doesn't let me do basically anything that requires internet.
I can get on the Facebook app fine and my newsfeed loads but I can't see Facebook notifications, upload photos or videos, read inboxes, look at photos, its very slow etc.
I can't get into the App Store or iTunes at all. It says it 'Cannot Connect to iTunes Store' when I try.
I can't upload photos onto Instagram
Currently I'm into the Simpsons Tapped Out game and I can't go onto it at all.
And there are a few other minor issues I am having.
All these things I can do with my Telstra 3G network however and it ***** because I want to use and do all these things but I have to use my 3G and I've just recently gone over my data monthly usage and been charged extra which I'm not happy about.
So is anyone else having these issues or is it just me and I'm stuffed? I'd REALLY love some help.
I've been lost with what to do because as some are having WiFi issues as well, mine isnt the same and it's hard to find answers or just other discussions.
Please Help!
Thankyou.I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6 -
Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES
So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPad WiFi Issues are an Apple Problem
It seems clear many are having WiFi issues. While there are some suggestions involving changes to routers, these in general are at best temporary work arounds.
1. Not everyone has any ability to change things about the router they connect with.
2. The iPad is supposed to be state of the art gear. Given that, it should be able to work at least as well as a year old laptop in the same location. If it can’t, then it had a problem Apple needs to address.
3. Not every user is a techie, so the long term solution is that Apple needs to fix the iPad to work correctly out of the box. It CANNOT require users to fiddle with routers and firmware concepts.
The best thing Apple can do now is to first admit there appears an issue here and say they plan to address it ASAP.
EdI understand completely and sympathise with your frustration, however this is certainly atypical of Apple.
Bear in mind these forums are the equivalent of a hospital, and as such its full of sick people who come here to get well. Just because most people here are sick, doesn't mean everyone else outside is sick as well.
Yes there are problems but your solutions/suggestions which overall are correct (its Apple to solve) I think you have too simplistic an approach viz;
1. Apple cannot stick to Open Standards if routers are not kept up to date - thats not an Apple problem. the world moves on and there is no reason why the 'bleeding edge' should be held back by dead wood or out of date firmware.
2. Agree wholeheartedy, and bear in mind the hospital analogy - 300,000 units sold on the first day and NOT 30,000 or even 3,000 people here with problems. most problems are 'how do I...'
3. We will have to disagree here - sometimes users just have to accept they need to do things and learn. If they cannot understand how wireless works, its not entirely the manufacturers problem to teach them how to set one up.
I don't really disagree much with most of what you say, but speeches are not going to accomplish much, if anything . It just distracts us helpers from solving issues.
I do agree there is a wireless issue and I have my own views on what the problem is but jumping on a thread and shouting won't solve it so I keep it to myself.
Thats all.
