I suggest you describe the problem in more detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received. Telling us you've tried ""all the methods mentioned in the forums" does not help.

How I fixed my iPhone 2wire WiFi problems.

Was having problems with my iPhone I got 2 weeks ago not being able to use the At&t 2wire 2701 router I got when I bought my phone. It would see and even say it connected to the router but when I would try to get on the internet or iTunes it would go back to the Egde network. I have been reading the topics on here and saw that alot of people are having the same problem. I was able to get it working. So thought it would be nice to let you all know how, maybe it might help some of you.
1. forget the router address on your iPhone if you have it set up.
2. go into the router at http://gateway.2wire.net
3. click the "Home Network" button at the top (will ask for your password) you will see everything that is connected to the router.
4. click on "wireless settings"
5. might want to change the name of your network but thats up to you. The defualt channel is 1 so try changing to something else. Mine is at 8
6. go down to the "wireless security" change to the "wpa2-psk"
7. use a custom phrase password, they are harder to crack and I have read work better with iPhones
8. go down to the bottom section to "additional setting" my setting are as followed
Wireless mode 802.11b/g
DTIM period 1
Max connection rate 54mbps
Power setting 10
9. go the the bottom and press "Save"
10. go to "advanced setting"
11. go to the first section "Private Network" you are probably set you the default 192.168.XXXX change it to 172.16.xxx. Since this is the default means alot of people are probably using it so might be causing problems. <note by Host, not necessary, see Nathan's note below>
12. go to the bottom and press "Save"
13. exit browser and unplug the router for 1 min. Talked to a guy from 2wire and he said this sometimes helps when you change setting to reboot the router for the changes to becomes enforced by the router.
14. go into setting > Wi-Fi on your iPhone and then choose your network and enter your password.
Lets hope when you connect this time you stay connected. If this helps you please let me know. Anyway hope this helps

THANKS!!! I got my phone for Christmas and have worked for 2 full days trying to get it to say connected to my 2wire. I called Apple support and they had me reset, restore and finally go to the Apple store to exchange my phone. I kept telling them I had read that this was a common problem but they seemed unfamiliar. When I got to the store, it logged on easily to their wireless network so I was told it wasn't the phone but probably something with my 2wire. They said maybe it wasn't compatible with the iphone. I came home and have worked another couple of hours when I found your post. IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!! Thanks again.

How fast is the iPhone over Wifi?

How fast is the iphone over wifi?
It seems to be a lot slower compared to a laptop that is on wifi.
On the iphone bandwidth test page i found posted in this forum, i seem to get a max of 130KB a sec. *Bytes
It ranges usually lower than that though. Around 50 to 70KB
This is rather slow for a wifi connection.
Is this normal?

I haven't ran any speed tests but using WiFi surfing on my phone seems just a bit slower then on my laptop. My WiFi is through a cable modem and using a square Apple Airport
I'm very surprised on how usable EDGE is. It seems about the same speed as the least expensive ADSL from Bellsouth that is 128kbps.

How come they still haven't fixed the ios 6 wifi problem on ios 6.0.1 making me mad -.-

I know apple or the tech support doesn't read this but come on tell them to fix the wifi problem that started from ios 6 and still continuing to ios 6.0.1. I already gave them another feedback like 5 days ago. I really don't want to reconnect to my wifi everytime. I already did everything possibly to fix my wifi problem. I know its IOS 6.0.1 because it started with ios 6 and still not fixed by apple update to 6.0.1.
I have a very limit data plan of 300 MB on at&t and I don't want to go over so I rely on my wifi most of the time.

Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6 or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.

I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.

How to fix the iphone 4s if it is the wrong carrier iphone 4s?

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and how to fix it. Lets see in October 2012 I bought a brand new Iphone 4s. I had it less than a week when I sent it to Apple because it had already been updated to IOS 6 without my knowledge and the battery was dying and some other issues was going on with the phone. My carrier Sprint that I purchased it from has a 2 year contract. What Apple sent me back for my brand new Iphone 4s was a used refurbished Iphone 4s with Verizon carrier. I spent hours on the phone with Apple and Sprint. Sprint told me to tell Apple that I needed a Sprint Iphone. Well I tried but they said they could make it work as long as I didn't try to install a sim card because then the phone would not work at all. Well besides everything on my phone refering to Verizon or At&t but never my carrier Sprint I suppose it could have been worse. I actually have never seen the OS 5.11 all I have ever seen is OS 6. Even the refurbished Verizon phone I was sent was already updated to I0S 6 so I couldn't change it. My husbands iphone 4s from Sprint never updated on its on, his is still IOS 5. Anyway, my battery dies quite frequently and now my refurbished Verizon/Sprint iphone has updated to IOS 6.02 which is even worse. When ever I log into a online account I am always showing up as that I am logging in from another state like Georgia with Sprint carrier but I don't live in Georgia. Pretty much anytime I Iog into any online account I am never on a Sprint Network in my state . Always the wrong state. Try to do a soft reset which doesn't help because the factory defaults for the phone is Verizon and lets not forget it won't work with a sprint sim card at all. I also try to atleast restore it to I0S 6 on itunes but it keeps stating restore and update. So now I am stuck with IOS 6.02. I think it would be great if I could use I0S 5 like my husband has on his Iphone 4s. Any suggestions on how to fix my screwed up iphone 4s. I would go to an apple store but the closest one is over an hour a way. So thats out for now. So how do I use my iphone 4s with carrier Sprint on their celluar network in my state and possibly the city I live in, also which is all in the UnitedStates?
Thanks, Suzanne

Badly need your help: How to fix my iphone 3gs restoration problem

it's been for a month now that i could not use my iphone 3gs. i encountered some problem which i have difficulty to fix or resolve the problem: Currently my iphone 3gs is in recovery mode (which it seems got stucked). When I plug my iphone to restore it via itunes the message appeared as follows: The iPhone"iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1). I already tried to search the web but could not find any suggestion how to fix it. If there's anymore that encountered the same problem, I highly appreciate if you could assist me step by step. By the way, i bought my iphone 3gs "open or unlocked", so I don't jailbrake. thanks.

You could try to use another USB port, check your security software settings or see if you can restore on another computer.

Fix for my iPhone 3Gs WiFi problems after upgrade to iOS 4

Posting incase this helps. I upgraded to iOS 4 on my 3Gs while away from home and came home to find that I couldn't get a reliable connection to my home WiFi which had been rock solid when I left two weeks ago.
My network consistes of a telco supplied router & ADSL box connected by LAN to an Airport Extreme which then connects wirelessly to an Airport Time Machine in another room (actually a steel lined safe room so I have to be sure that the door is open). The Time Machine is set to act as a range extender as is an Airpot Express N I have connected to a hifi.
Well after rebooting everything and scratching my head I took a look at the wireless settings on the base Airport Extreme. *It was set to 802.11n only!* I, therefore, have no idea how my iPhone was able to connect to this up to now. *I've set it now to 802.11n (b/g compatible)* and the iPhone once again connects and re-connects without any trouble at all.
I know the 3Gs is not capable of 802.11n but I can assure you that for the last few months I haven't changed that router so it was certainly working in that 802.11n only mode on that apple router.

Hey, that's a great tip for others who are having issues to check out. Thanks for posting your findings!

IPhone 3G WiFi problems after 2.2 update

I know that this has been raised already, but I just wanted to throw some more wood on the fire.
I have several machines wirelessly connected to my router, and all work fine. iPhone WiFi worked every time before update to 2.2, no longer does.
I have done all of the suggested "fixes": power on/off, forget network, reset network settings. They don't work.
What's strange is that the iPhone connects to the network--but it only has 2 bars, even when I'm right beside the router! And even when it's "connected", I can't browse the net through Safari or use any other programs that require internet access.
Connections to other WiFi networks do the same.

Sorry, I missed your last sentence in your original post.
I wouldn't wait until firmware 2.3 is released. I've had no problems connecting my iPhone to my wireless network at home, the wireless network at my office, or the wireless networks that I regularly access at a couple of restaurants that I frequent, and the same with an AT&T wireless network at a Starbucks that I stop by on occasion since installing 2.2.
Copied from my previous post:
+Have you also tried an iPhone reset and/or restoring your iPhone with iTunes - from your iPhone's backup and if no change, as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?+
+If so, I suggest giving AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.+
I'd just like to make sure that Apple is aware of the issue.
Providing it here does not ensure this. Although these discussions are provided and moderated by Apple, each post and thread here is not read by a moderator or by any Apple employee.
Calling AppleCare ensures that Apple is aware of your particular issue, and if a reset and/or a restore from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup does not change anything, then your iPhone may have a hardware issue that 2.2 brought to the surface and if so, your iPhone will be exchanged under warranty.
No point in waiting for a future firmware update with no way of knowing exactly when the next firmware update will be released, nor if it will resolve your problem especially if this turns out to be a hardware issue.

How do I fix my iPhone 5 wifi problems with Airport Extreme?

I have a 5th Gen Airport Extreme (AE) and an all Mac household. We have iPhones, iPads and MacBooks. Ever since I got the Extreme, my iPhone 5 will stop responding on the internet. It still shows as connected, but nothing on the internet responds. The immediate solution is to turn wifi on and off on the phone and everything immediately starts working again.
I believe it's started happening on the iPad 3 as well, but it's hard to tell if I'm just resetting it due to paranoia on unresponsive sites. The AE is set to WPA2 Personal only, and both the 2 & 5ghz radios are set to automatic. Also it's a/b/g/n (Automatic).
I've tried restarting everything multiple times, reset the AE from scratch, and done "Reset Network Settings" on the phone. Nothing has been able to fix it permanently.
The irony is that I switched to the AE after a number of cheap wifi routers that didn't keep a signal. Now I never lose the signal but it refuses to actually show evidence of routing the packets.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

I have gone through 5 iPhone 5 replacements and nothing has helped with this issue. I just keep taking it back hoping for a good replacement. I finally got the attention of a district manager because of the amount of replacements I have had. Also, don't believe the Geniuses. They tried to say I had my AE 5th Gen setup wrong when I followed Apple's recommended settings. Then when I showed them the page, they said I was showing them a fake website. It was the Apple Support page. ***?!?

New) How to fix your iPhone 5 wifi

You know I was having problems with wifi on my 2 iPhone 5. But to day I think I fixed my wifi issues bad adding wifi range extender that's cost me $60. Just get one of those wifi extender and plug it up to the wall anywhere close to your wifi router and set up a little bit and get it to work really good. I amaze when I installed it I got a good long range of wifi extend up to more the 25" and get good full signal on your phone or any devices. I'm glade I use it. Now I don't have any problem with my iPhone 5 signal. I can connect to my home wifi with this Extender up to more the 25" away. Because before I couldn't use more then 10" away from wifi. So if you're having problem with your wifi TRY adding wifi signal extender for $60 from Bestbuy or Walmart . Thanks for reading

In many parts of the world all anyone has in their dwelling is an extra 25'. It is possible that the experience talked about is not the limits of the extended Wi-Fi Network range, but rather the limits of the dwelling.

How to fix the Iphone 4 "no service" issue, final answer.

Randomly "No Service", "Searching", especially after joining Tmobile with an unlocked AT&T iphone. Annoying, uh? Well, here is an easy fix. Do it when you do have that temporary, precious service bar. Settings->Carrier, turn off the automatic feature first. Now the "Carrier" setting is in manual mode and it will start searching all available carriers. When it's done searching, you'll see "Tmobile" underneath, and "AT&T" most likely, too. Check the "Tmobile" only. BINGO! You are now officially with Tmobile!

Sorry, only good for a couple of days. Just Stopped working again...
