HT1349 iphone 4S - my wifi keeps dropping or it comes up with a message "unable to connect"

iphone 4S - my wifi keeps dropping or it comes up with a message "unable to connect"

1. Did this just start randomly, or have you ever been able to connect to this network?
2. Does this phone connect to other wifi networks?
3. What is the strenght of the wifi connection when you are close to the router (1-3 bars)?
Try to isolate and see if this is just an issue with just this network. If so, and you have access to the settings on the router, I would test out with no security or a different chanel. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199 gives all of the recomended settings for wifi networks so that the phone should work optimally with that network
If you are having this same issue with all wifi networks and have gone through a full restore of the phone to new, then you likely have a hardware issue with your phone and may need to look at repair/replacement to resolve this.

  • My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

    My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
    Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

    You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
    My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

  • Macbook Pro Snow Leopard; WiFi keeps dropping, no IP Address

    Macbook Pro Snow Leopard; WiFi keeps dropping. Issue is Macbook is not getting an IP address from the wireless routers DHCP Server. Tried all options in the forums. Reboot, changing security, PRAM reset .. nothing. Problem keeps happening. No issues on XP laptops and Nokia phones.
    Even the iPhone, iPod and iPad seems to be fine. It is just the dang gam it Macbook pro and it is driving me crazy.
    All fixes tried, changing wireless mode, security, PRAM ... only thing left is to rebuild the mac which i was hoping I can avoid somehow.
    Any ideas to fix this would be great!

    Change your router channel.  Sometimes this all you will have to do.
    System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
    Unlock the padlock
    Locations:  Automatic
    Highlight Airport
    Click the Assist Me button
    In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
    System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock.  Highlight Airport.  Network Name-select your name.  Click on the Advanced button.  Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
    Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."  Click the OK button and lock the padlock.  Restart your computer.

  • Wifi keeps dropping on macbook pro

    I just bought a macbook pro and wifi keeps dropping every 5-10 mins. I have to turn airport off and on again for it to work but still it keeps dropping. If I reset my router, wifi will not drop but the following day it will still drop. Any help please?

    I'm sorry, but I find this hard to believe if you called them.
    A few suggestions:
    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do. 
    See KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
    ============================
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
    Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.
    =====================
    If using Linsys router contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.
    If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

  • Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite

    Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good.  Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite.  Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro?  It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
    I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.

  • [Solved] MSI GE40 2PC wifi keeps dropping

    Recently got the GE40 2PC (not 20PC, people tend to confuse them). Wifi keeps dropping every 5-25 min. Is there a i=fix for this? I already checked wifi drivers and its said I'm already using the most recent drivers. Somehow I'm worried it may have something to do with the wifi temperature. I read that if the wifi gets overheated itll stop and the 2PC can get quite hot sometimes. I havent had a chance to try another wifi network yet.

    What did you use to check the driver?
    You should find the latest driver from MSI webiste under GE40 2PC page.

    In the icloud settings, I am told I need to accept the terms and conditions to use icloud. However, when I click on "Terms and conditions", I get a message "unable to connect to server". This has been happening for a week now since I upgraded to iOS 7.06. There is no problem with my wifi or cellular connectivity, all other applications work perfectly.

  • Error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection"

    I started having the error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection" when I attempt to use search function within a certain apps and when I try to download certain magazine (eg. National geographic).  I didn't have this problem with I first started using iPad, and no problems with connectivity when using other apps.  Can anyone help?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
