Bad wifi signal iphone 5

Hi
After update 7.0.6 vy iphone 5 have troubles with wifi signal. Update 7.1 and 7.1.1 dosent remove this problem.
Reset network settings and hard reset and full recovery has not remove that bug.
What i need to do to resolve my problem?

Shawn,
It sounds like this is an issue with your surroundings. It doesn't seem to show the characteristics of a faulty card.
In general the 5GHz band isn't going to be great for distance use with a wireless router. If you are trying to connect with the router outside of your house, then it's probably not going to show up. 5GHz doesn't travel well through walls either, so that could be an issue if you have lots of walls in your house. Having a weak signal could also mean that your house paint or materials in the house may be bad for letting the 5GHz signal through.
If none of those apply, then there could be a problem with your router. I would try fiddling with the settings on the router a bit and see what happens. If it's still under warranty call the manufacturer, and they may be able to hook you up with a solution. Another thing to try would be to connect to another 5GHz network if possible. If the problem still persists I would try resetting all network settings (settings>general>reset>reset network settings), bearing in mind that this will delete all networks that you have connected to, and require you to put in all of your wireless network passwords again. Don't worry about doing so though, it won't delete any data (music, videos, books, etc.) or any other settings that don't pertain to wireless network settings.
If none of the above solutions work for you, as a last resort you could either call up AppleCare, or head into the nearest Apple Store, and they should be able to help you out.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

Weak WiFi signal iPhone 3G

I am on my 3rd iPhone and second 3G phone. I decided to buy a properly imported 3G phone from MTS - one of the main mobile networks and licensed seller of the iPhone in Russia. I received the phone and within minutes of switching it on I noticed that even 2-3 metres from the WiFi box (Airport Express) the WiFi signal became so weak that it dropped the connection.
I took the new and old phones home and tried both - the old phone (also 16GB 3G but jailbroken) receives a signal and works perfectly with WiFi a long way away from the Airport Express box. The new phone loses the network within 3-4 metres and is useless.
I tried again in the office, same thing - old phone works great, new one is hopeless.
I then read a lot on the web and tried everything - resetting the airport express boxes, reinstalling the wireless network, checking all settings, renewing the lease on the iPhone in network settings etc.
Nothing worked.
After 2 days I took it back to the MTS shop. They sent it off for 2 weeks. I got it back today with some total BS that it has been caused by some user damage (even the MTS guy with a magnifying glass couldn't see a single scratch or mark on the phone).
We have now had to file a "claim" from the local Apple office and they will consider this for 1 month!
I bought this through official suppliers thinking I would have something that worked better and have ended up with a total lemon that MTS (mobile company) don't want to know about and some nameless Apple support person isn't standing behind.
Anyone else had such issues and does anyone have any ideas before I lose my patience?
Thanks,
Roger

OK, here is the latest on all this.
Apple locally in Russia say they can’t help as they sold the rights to 3 mobile operators in the country who are fully authorized and have all responsibility for iPhones in Russia. Megafon, Bee-line and MTS.
My operator, MTS today gave me an official response saying they refuse to return money / give new iPhone as the problem is damage caused by me. This is total nonsense - the phone has had minutes of use only and certainly was not dropped. The problem was evident from the first moment I switched the phone on. They suggest the next step is to have it inspected independently which will cost around $150. However, the 2 authorised independent service agents are Megafon and Beeline (the other 2 operators!!) and they want nothing to do with an MTS phone.

Can someone reading this who works for Apple help find a sensible solution? My first 2 iPhones I purchased through "grey" channels and they were jailbroken and not official. I decide to buy a new one from an official supplier and get an absolute nightmare situation.
And for all those reading in the US and other places, these things are **** expensive in Moscow. Mine was RUB 24,000 - at the time around $800.
I'm so frustrated with Apple on this. Where is their global service and reputation?????

Wifi Problem iPhone 3Gs AND MAcBook Pro Retina 13" 2014

Hey everyone,
I recently started to experience a problem with my wifi connection with both my apple devices (an old iPhone 3 Gs and a new Macbook Pro Retina 13''). Both are on the newest (availbe in case of the iPhone) Os X. Let me describe the circumstances:
I live in a house with 7 other students and the wifi router was quite far away, therefore I installed an ethernet connection with my laptop and tried to get used to a bad wifi signal on my iPhone. Well, at some point I was sick of that and installed an old router I found (Sweex LW050v2). For a time everything was working smoothly until other people in this house though they need another router on our floor and installed one (Sitecom0E5C02). As soon as they did that I started to have troubles on my iPhone and the Macbook as well (when I tried to use the wifi instead of the cable). The issue is not that I loose the wifi connection, but that I can not connect to the internet even though I have a connection to our wifi (I tried with all 3). In the beginning I though this was an issue with our router-setup (you can probably tell I am no expert) but at some point realised that I am the only one with a problem. Since then I have to disconnect from the wifi and connect again every time I loose the internet, which is now almost every 2 minutes!! Thus, my frustration and now me posting here with hopes of receiving help.
I would much appreciate help or constructive suggestions.
Thank you

IPhone 5s: Intermittent wifi; wifi signal is full but phone not connected to internet

Hi all, I have a strange wifi connectivity problem.
At home:
iPhone 5s connects normally to wifi, but after several minutes of usage (particularly browsing the internet), wifi signal remains full but safari states that phone is not connected to internet. Other apps like whatsapp also don't work. When I disable wifi then enable it again on my phone, I can connect to the internet temporarily again, but after a few seconds it disappears again. If I leave it for a while, it automatically connects again, but intermittently and unpredictably. All in all, unreliably.
At home, MacBook Air works fine with no connectivity issues.
At other wifi locations, the same iphone 5s has no problems at all with wifi connectivity.
Also, I have already
- reset phone
- reset network settings on phone
- reset router
- unplugged and replugged modem and router to wall switch
- previous iPhone 4 on iOS 7 had no issues with home wifi
Thus, I am uncertain if this is a phone or wifi issue. My best guess would be that it is a compatibility issue between the iPhone 5s and my home wifi?
Any suggestions as to where I could start solving this problem would be very appreciated! Thank you:)

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhone NO

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point. All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
- Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old.
Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution. Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

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.

HT4628 My ipad and iphone connect and recognize wifi signal, but my mac pro running 10.6.8 does not recognize or list the wiifi signal as option, any ideas?

Hi,
In Austria, iphone and ipad "see" and connect to wifi signal no problem but mac pro in same room will not even allow me to choose the same wifi signal. It seems almost blocked. Havectried everything it seems by restarting, deleting preferred accoints, etc. software is updated but running osx 10.6.8
Thanks for any help!

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

Hi everyone,
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days. This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem. But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line. When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message. I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router. At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal. But I can't access to the internet at all. It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc. I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
Thank you.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

My iPhone 5 connects to wifi but shows one bar on the wifi signal meter but my iPad2 and Macbook Air both show full wifi bars when all three are side by side next to my apple router. Do I have an antenna problem with my iPhone 5?

It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router. Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time. Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings.

Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
Try the following, it may help:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

After updating to iOS 8.3, seem like the wifi signal got worst. The screen rotation is still as bad

sseem like the updates which were pushed didn't do any much hel, the wifi signal was even weaker than before, at times I will be totally disconnected from my home wifi.
And the screen rotation... i don't see any difference to it.

Mine won't even rotate now. So I have not scientific calculator. Apple support recommends backup and restore.
If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
iOS software used to be so bullet proof, but iOS 8 is a dog. It's like working with windows. I wish I could downgrade. My wife's phone is at iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there. it works better than mine.

Why Is My iPhone 4 Struggling To Pick Up a Wifi Signal My Macbook Has No Problem Receiving?

I have both an iPhone 4 and a late 2009 Macbook. I work at an office just a few yards from the local hospital. The hospital has a public wifi that is definitely receivable, although weak in spots. But what I have noticed is that my iPhone 4 has a real hard time finding the signal and keeping it. I usually only get 2 bars max, out of the three on the signal graphic on the screen of the iPhone. It drops out often on the iPhone. However, when I connect with my Macbook, the connection is solid and it displays that I am getting a full signal. The signal doesn't drop on the Macbook. My question is why is there a difference between the iPhone and Macbook in picking up a wifi signal? Do iPhones not have as much sensitivity to pick up a weaker signal? Is there something I can do to the iPhone to enhance its reception?

They better huh?
I'm sure Apple is shaking in their boots.
No such problem with my iPhone which I connect with a number of wi-fi networks.
If the same problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own and no change after resetting network settings and/or after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
If the problem is with your wi-fi network only - no problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own, the problem is not with the iPhone.
