HT1688 I have no wifi after 5.1 on 4s

I have no wi fi after receiving  the 5.1.1 download for my 4S I phone

I had the same problem and these are the steps I used to fix my wifi from not working.  I found this on the net so this is not mine.  I did 1-3 and then mine started working and so far so good:
1- iPhone WiFi issues? Reboot your device!
Well, I assume most of you have already tried that but in case you haven’t, simply press and hold the power key along with Home button until you see the Apple logo appearing again. If it solves the iPhone WiFi issues, congratulations. You had it the easiest way!
2- Reset network settings:
Resetting network helps in some 60 – 70% of cases suffering from iPhone WiFi issues. Go to Settings > General > scroll down to Reset, and then tap on Reset Network Settings. If you are on a secure network, it will ask you pass keys.
3- Check router:
Perhaps the issue is not with your iOS 7 updated device, but your internet connection? Before proceeding to the next fix, make sure your network is working fine and so is the router / modem. Try same network on your other devices to ensure that it is working fine.
If all is good with network and network equipment, proceed to the very last option.
4- Restore iPhone – Gah!
If you don’t seem to solve the iPhone WiFi issue using any of the above checkups, final resort is to reset your Apple iPhone. Resetting Apple device sort of cleanses your device so it will come out all clean and error-free like new.
To reset your iOS 7 device, head over to Settings > General > Reset, and tap on the Reset All Settings. You can also reset your device from iTunes. The option Restore iPhone will show up once you connect your device with the computer.

    I must restart about 1 times in a week. this problem appears after I upgrade to iOS 6.1.2..
    there's no problem in 6.1.1 though in the beginning (with 6.1.2) I can turn on the wifi but the connection is REALLY BAD.
    so I was trying to reset all network. but then the wifi become gray until now
    I already updating to 6.1.3 and there's no change. there's still crash and gray wifi
    I tried to reset network, restore without having backup and soft resetting and they didn't help at all.
    is there a way to downgrade my iphone? or the only way is to change it to the new one?
    because my 4S is just 6 months old, I still have my guarantee.
    please help! thankyou

  • I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update.  Is there a way to fix this?  I've already tried resetting network.  Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

        csdwarf,
    So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

  • My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep.  When waking it up I have to manually re-connect.  How do I keep it connected?

    I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
    This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
    Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
    It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
    Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
    Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
    And a sidenote...
    Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
    That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.
    Best, Jan

  • TS1559 I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

  • I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

I've tried the network reset, it didn't work. My phone works fine, just a lilttle bit slow before i upadated to 7.0.4. And now not only the wifi, the phone itself is slower than ever. I wish i didn't udgrade to iOs 7. There's too much problems. There's this one time that I can't send iMessage at all.

    Hi s.kouris,
    I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
    With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

    Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.
    Sorry,

    I have a Iphone 5 and after update everything OK.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • Iphone 4s cannot auto connect to home wifi after updating to ios 6.1.2

    My iphone 4s will not auto connect to my home wifi after updating to IOS 6.1.2.  I can manually connect to my phone to wifi but it will get disconnect if I'mnot using the phone. Any way to reslove?

    Once the phone goes into sleep mode, it is supposed to auto disconnect from wifi to save battery. Are you saying that once you wake the phone up it will not auto connect at that time?
    Suggest you try and forget the network, then go in and try the reset network settings again and then try to rediscover the network and connect again. Have you tried to do a reset of the phone, but holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad

    No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings,  power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

    Great!  Thanks, this works.
    I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works!  but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.)  Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

  • No Wifi after upgrade to 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G

    Hi All,
    Well, I updated my iPhone 3G to 3.1.3 from 3.1 and my iPhone does not show the Wifi anymore. The Wifi settings in "Settings" is grayed out.
    I am sheerly frustrated by the fact that the update has bricked my phone. Since, then I have tried severals restores and resets. But alas no luck. Finally, I tried "Reset Network Settings" once again and the Wifi was detected and the Wifi address showed up.
    Next, my Wifi dropped connection after being connected to the Airport Express base station after 30 mins. The Wifi would no longer detect any networks. I restarted the phone and the Wifi is gone again. No Wifi address and the Wifi address is missing. I again did "Reset Network Settings" several times. Finally, the Wifi showed up again. This time around, the Wifi dropped connection after 10 mins and won't show up again.
    I am, certain that the 3.1.3 update is causing these issue. My phone has been working perfectly before the update.
    I know there are other threads on this issue. I am starting a new one just to have Apple's attention on this issue. I fail to understand how I am supposed to live with a iPhone which was bricked by the software update.

    Your iPhone wasn't bricked. An iPhone that is bricked means it doesn't function at all. If everything else but wi-fi works on your iPhone, your iPhone is far from the definition of being bricked.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, the 3.1.3 firmware update did not cause this. A firmware or software update can't cause a hardware failure. When there is a major problem after installing a major OS update with Windows or OS X, more than likely there was an underlying problem that was brought to the surface by installing the update but wasn't cause by the update, and a software update can't cause a hardware failure.
    More than likely this is a hardware failure and if so, you have no way of knowing if this would have occurred anyway without installing the firmware update. Because it occurred immediately after installing the firmware update, the update is being blamed - no different when there is a problem after installing an OS update with Windows or OS X - it was working fine before installing the update - blah, blah.
    I experienced the very same within the last couple of months or so. I noticed my iPhone was no longer connected to my wi-fi network at home. I re-joined the network, and the connection was quickly dropped and I was unable to re-join. I tried forgetting the network and re-joinging the network and the same. No different after an iPhone reset. I reset my wireless router and modem, and no change. I restored my iPhone with iTunes from my iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from my iPhone's backup with no change after each, so I made an appointment at a nearby Apple store where is was quickly determined my iPhone had a hardware failure which could have occurred right after installing a firmware update.
    My 3G was 1&1/2 years old at the time and since I planned on using my 3G for two years, I purchased the AppleCare extended warranty before the standard one year warranty had expired. I walked out of the Apple store with an exchange under warranty.

  • Why can't i connect to my wifi after ios6 update

    why can't i connect to my wifi after ios6 update

    It didn't work for me either.
    My Apple store don't know the answer and have suggested that I connect to a computer and do a full reset and install iOS6 again.
    Not too sure how to do that yet.
