IPhone 3G isn't finding my Wifi unless right next to the router. When moved downstairs, it loses connection and is unable to find wifi. Help please?

I have an iPhone 3GS 8GB that works perfectly and finds my WiFi no problem wherever I am in my house. My mother, however, has just brought an iPhone 3G 8GB that cannot find our WiFi unless it is within a metre of the router
I phoned Apple and the woman on the phone said to reset the router and modem, done that but I still have the same problem. She also suggested about updating the iPhone 3G, but iTunes is telling me that its software is up to date .... "This version of the iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version"
My iTunes is also up to date (version 10.6.3.25)
I have also tried resetting the network settings on the phone, turning the WiFi on and off on the phone and turning it on and off (someone said that might have worked)
Has anyone came across this problem before? And if so, how can I fix it?

The case has always been on and it hasn't been an issue before. I tried it just to be sure but the issue persists. There's also no authorised service providers in Dublin, Ireland according to the apple website. Phone wasn't bought with a contract so my service provider wouldn't help me out there either. Looks like a repair costs 250 bucks? If the antenna is still working when i'm next to the router does that just mean it's come loose or something? Should I look into replacing or repairing it myself?
The problem could be due to a loose antenna but it's impossible to say for sure.

it's not for the faint of heart.

My iphone 6 suddenly wont connect to wifi unless right next to it

iPhone 6 running ios 8.2 suddenly wont connect to my wifi unless extremely close. it is not the wifi as all other devices including an iPad 4th gen, macbook pro 13 inch and iPhone 4s have full bars from the room i am in, sometimes the iPhone 6 will get 1 bar but it wont work on the one bar. Does anyone know what could have caused this?

I rented a movie in iTunes and connected my iPad to transfer the movie to the iPad. The rental section will not pop-up and I have confirmed the movie is not an HD movie. Any suggestions on what to do next?

I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay. This should do it:
Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

My Wi-Fi just says connecting, but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone.

Well that was it. My Wi-Fi just says connecting but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone. LG G2

ETea,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi. Let's get you connecting again. Are other Wi-Fi capable devices able to connect without issue? Go to Settings and touch Wi-Fi. Touch your network and select "Forget." Touch "Search" on the bottom. Once the phone detects the network again, touch the network, enter your password and select connect. Let us know if you get connected.

Given the complexity in merely getting the thing open, that is likely. Or they forgot to reconnect it. See #14 and from #52 on down in: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iPad+2+GSM+Bluetooth-Wi-Fi+Antenna/6166/1

Cant connect Iphone/ipad to E1500 help!

i got my ps3 & xbox to connect it was easy but when i go to connect my iphone it doesnt even let me put my password in it just says"cant connect"? PLEASE HELP.

How is the router configured? What is the security mode in the router? Does any other wireless device can able to go online with the same security mode? Well, in this case try to change the wireless security and then check the connectivity status..

I can't connect my ipad to my home wifi?

I can use my hotspot on my iphone. No problem. But my wireless router isn't even showing up on the ipad settings. Only sometimes it will appear. If it does show up it doesn't allow the password to be accepted. I tried resetting the router and updating the software. After I did that the router doesn't even register on my ipad now. I know my router is working because it is working on my other items throughout the house.
Help. I don't want to keep using my phone data.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

HP deskjet 3050 no longer connects to wireless since changing the router

The printer no longer prints to wireles or when connected via USB for that matter. Recently changed routers and now it doesn't pick up the printer. I have tried to reinstall the software and that hasn't made a difference. Help please!!

Hi nikki879,
Here is a way you can connect the printer to your router:
-Restore network defaults inside the wireless menu on the printer front panel.
-From your computer, connect wireless to the printer's network (it should be a name similar to HP-Setup-xx-Deskjet 3050A J611).
-After successfully connecting to the printer, open your web browser and type in 192.168.223.1 in the addressbar and press enter.
-Click on Wireless Setup Wizard
-Select your router and enter the password to connect the printer to the router.
Rerun the printer software from your computer to rediscover the printer over the network.
