Iphone 2G 2.0.1 using Linksys WRT54GL- found a solution for wifi problems

My iphone was unable to see my home wifi router .
After many many hours of changing the iphone and the router parameters I found a solution.
I switched the Wireless Network Mode to G-only and put an open DNS (208.67.222.222) on the list of static DNS in my router (setup/basic setup).
Now when iphone got an IP I removed from the iphone Wifi DNS list the other DNS numbers and left only the open DNS address.
I hope this solution will help someone else

Some of the problems people are having with connections has to do with the fact that for some reason they're either getting an IP address that's not in their subnet or not getting an IP address assigned at all. That was happening to me as well. What happens when you connect via ethernet is that you resolve that problem.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a permanent solution soon.

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Anyone has a solution for the problem: typing keywords and suddenly it does not work anymore. Mostly I have to restart my iphone 4Gs

    Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
    Since I updated to iOS 6 sometimes my keywords did not work.
    I always have to restart my iPhone to have it work.
    It's ridiculous to always restart my phone.
    If you also have this problem you can repost + give some tips.
    Thanks and greetings,

    Hi Alo816,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data.

  • HT5457 since I installed ios 6 on my iPhone 4S Siri has been verrrrrry slow - is there a solution for this?

    There is no issue with iOS7.
    The issue is with specific iPhones. 
    I know multiple people with iPhones that have all upgraded to the latest iOS and none of them have experienced issues with the update across multiple models.  Even with the postings here, if you search through them, some go back as far as iOS5 and these Wi-Fi/bluetooth issues occurring which clearly shows it is not the iOS update that is killing the hardware.  The issue is with hardware on specific devices that is boarderline working and an update is causing the hardware to fail.
    Apple offers an Out of Warranty replacement for a reasonable cost or the user can choose to replace the device with a different one (newer iPhone or some other device).
    Regardless, ranting here is pointless and against the terms of use.

    iPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
    For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece?  If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US.  You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece.

    Hey Garlicdaisy,
    Thank you for the follow up.
    With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.
    For more information, see the following:
    Apple - iCloud - All your music on all your devices.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/
    To download past purchases on your devices, follow these steps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you want the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution:
    Apple - iTunes - Match

    Thanks,

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Help!

    My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Can anybody help?

    Sorry, you have lost me since it appears that you have two completely separate issues here.
    All that I can suggest is you start over and try to set up the Time Capsule again first...and then, once that is done and the Time Capsule is working correctly on the network....then, try to troubleshoot the separate Time Machine issue.
    If you decide that you want to do this, we'll need some basic information:
    Make and model number of your modem?
    You are using OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), correct?

  • Internet very slow use linksys WRT54gl

    hi i have router linksys WRT54gl, in my office i hvae cpu,phones, camaras that conected to the router

    i see memory used : 90%
    can this be the problem?
    please help me what do to i cant work like this
    thx

    Where did you see the memory usage? The firmware on the router might not be updated so it is best that you do an upgrade. Make sure to reset and reconfigure the router after that.

  • As i was using my iphone, it suddenly turned off and it wont come back on. what is the best solution for my problem?

    As i was using my iPhone, it suddenly shut off without being shut off by anyone.i tried to turn my iPhone back on several times and nothing has worked. what could be the problem?

    Does it, instead of powering up, show a little battery icon almost empty and a plug icon next to it? In that case it needs recharging to have enough power to start up again. Even if it doesn't, try connecting it to a power source and see what happens. If it doesn't respond there you may need to bring it in for repair.

  • After I factory reset my Iphone 4s, I can't finish the step where it ask for WIFI Network, I guess it don't detect WIFI and can't connect to iTunes also. What should I do?

    I can't finish the step after I factory reset my iphone 4s because I can't get thru with the CHOOSE YOUR WIFI NETWORK

    If you can't see your WiFi then is your router broadcasting the SSID or do you not get to that point?

  • Solution for font problem using iTunes store (iTunes 9 @ Vista)

    For all those of you who experience font problems rendering the iTunes store (I got partly jibberish many letters rendered as squares). For me it turned out that
    my Arial fonts were corrupted (there were other files with the same font names residing in my Windows font directory). Deleting all Arial and installing them new from another Vista machine solved the problem.
    I got to analyze the problem as follows: the rendering of the iTunes 9 store is done by the webkit. This reads a list of available fonts with files names from the registry and stores it in the file C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\WebKit\FontsList.plist (do not edit, it is generated each time you start iTunes anew). If you compare (e.g., using diffdaff) this file to the one of a Vista computer that does not show the font problem, you pretty soon realize which font family might cause the problem for you. For me it was Arial (which is used by Windows as a substitution for the Helvetica fonts BTW).

    You can try to download items one at a time to get rid of this error message. Follow these steps for such:
    1) Open iTunes.
    2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Check for Purchases.
    3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
    4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
    5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
    6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
    If that doesn't help, you may want to consider performing the following to be sure no software is conflicting with iTunes:
    1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
    2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
    3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running
    4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
    Hope this helps =)
