Iphone 5 wifi connecting distance less than 3 meters

My iphone 5 has not been connecting password-protected wifi, also wifi in Macdonalds and starbucks. Finally I find problem: The distance, I put iphone 5 within 3 meters from router, it connect wifi well, but more than 3 meter, lost connection or internet not working.
I believe it's hardware problem, but apple store said it's not, it's the problem of router setting. My iphone 5 just two months, the reason I bought iphone 5 is the quality and easy to use, but it's wrong for iphone 5,

yukon what's ur Iphone 5 version?

I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs

I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs this is really frustrating I think I have a dud phone or is this the new IOS6.1 software update?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. If you've been through ALL the steps listed and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Why does my iphone loss WIFI connection when I leave the room? When other mobile devices stay connected?

Why does my IPhone loss WIFI connection when I leave the room? When other mobile devices stay connected?
I can not send text messages to other IPhones if I do not have wifi or 3G on, the texts are sent as emails.

Hey Linders1987,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

When I don't use my iphone, my wifi connection stops

since a few days my wifi connection stops when I don't use my Iphone. So when someone send me a messag with whatsapp I don't receive it untill I turn on, use my iphone back. What do I have to do so that my wifi is always on? I did'nt change anything on my Iphone, but it does'nt work since a few days.

I just don't understand one thing. Before last week I had no problems about it (I had wifi all the time, even when I did'nt use my iphone, and now (when I came back from holiday) it does'nt go anymore. So buying a iphone wasn't a good idea. I have wifi, but if I don't use my iphone it is not possibel to reach me because the wifi falls off.
I understand that it is for saving the battery. But I still don't understand that it stops working (my wifi).

TS1398 My iPhone's wifi connection is slow compared to my other devices at home.

My iPhone's wifi connection is slow compared to my other devices in my house. I'm ranging from 2-3.5 Mbps on the iPhone while my other devices are getting speeds of 35-40 Mbps. I'm right next to my AirPort Extreme ac. I've tried resetting every possible device. I've done a reset of my phone ( no data lost). Any suggestions?

Remove all power from the router for about 15 seconds. If that doesn't fix it check if you have MAC filtering enabled on the router. If you do the iPhone needs to be added to the Allowed list.

Is there a fix for Iphone 5 wifi connection issues specifically to Verizon routers

Is anyone else experiencing WIFI connection problems when trying to connect to a Verizon Router? All of my other phones, 4 and 4S as well as my Ipad connect flawlessly and have a wide range, yet my Iphone 5 will only connect when I am in the room with the router and disconnects when I am less than 20 feet away.

Then go for one of the old cables with a 30 pin to lightning dock connector
Add an Apple Genuine 30 pin to lightning adapter to fit the iPhone 5 plug into that the car cable
I use several in different scenarios but do buy the Apple product most of the cheap rippoffs do not work correctly

TS1398 Wifi network password less than 8 characters

In the past, I was able to connect to my kids schools wifi network with a password that was 6 characters long. Since updating I am not able to use passwords that are less than 8. Is there away around this? I can connect with other non apple devices (school owned).

Try and reset your network settings by going to 'Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings'.
If you still have problems after this you may need to contact the schools IT administration.
Hope this helps

My iPhone 4s wifi connectivity has suddenly gone loco [multiple issues]

My iPhone 4s (that I've had for just over 14mos now) has automatically tapped into my office's visitor wifi ever since we first established it in Aug2013. And then suddenly, last Friday, it dropped the connection. But that was merely the kick-off to my varied wifi troubles.
Issues I have had since--
*Greyed out Wifi switch in Settings menu [resetting network settings fixes this....but it later returns]
* the "unable to connect to XYZ Network " pop up message
*Phone is stuck forever searching for wifi networks
*once connected to a wifi network, not being able to maintain connection for more than 5min
Yes, I have tried rebooting...it sometimes helps...but ONLY TEMPORARILY. I have had these issues, in various locations since Friday [ at the office, and at the library, and at home.] Is there *ANYTHING* I can do? I am very reluctant to endanger my phone display /other components by putting it in the freezer...but yes, I've heard of that trick...haven't done it though. Besides...if the fix is some sort of trick of temperature , how long lasting could that possibly be??
HELP?? ANYONE??

I have found through research that the iPhone 4S has been manufactured with a batch of Wi-Fi chips that are prone to malfunctioning.
I am currently suffering from your problems and to add to it, my range has degenerated badly.
I fear that the problem is mainly hardware (and maybe firmware which senses chip temps) so resets and setting resets won't do much.
I have seen many people have success with superheating their iPhone's Wi-Fi chip area (on the back, the top right corner where the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth compenents reside) via a heat gun or a hair dryer. The process has no set or recommended form. Meaning if you look this "fix" up you'll get mixed procedures.
Leave iPhone on
Take heating device and heat that corner (some do it by blowing into the headphone jack)
Wait until the temperature alert ("Your device is too hot for use" or something like that)
Turn it off
Leave in the freezer or let it cool off completely.
Turn on.
I tried this to no avail, twice actually. (Maybe I'm using the wrong procedure.) If you have the time (really just 20 minutes) it could be the difference between keeping your iPhone and having to spend cash money on a new/used phone.
I have no idea what the risks are, I'm no electrical/technical engineer or whatnot, but this is all from research that has shown to help some, if not many.
Here is a quote of another solution I found, I HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET.
"FIXED = SOLUTION. My girfriend had the same problem for almost a week. Tried everything suggested on these pages and more.
I managed to FIX this by = ''Unsrewing the screw(s) on the Battery connector & disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes'' Then reconnect the battery, put the contact clip back in & screw the screw(s) back in, Powered it on, left the phone for 2 minutes to boot up fully then went in to settings and the Wi-Fi Network was there to connect to. Had a solid connection ever since."
To open your iPhone, you most likely need a pentalobe screwdriver. Just take a quick look at the two screws at the bottom. To take apart the internal components (the second solution) you'll need a precise, small Philips head (#00 or #000).
Here are some links of super quality ones on Amazon. I currently have these, they're AWESOME.
Wiha (German brand) Precision #00

Wiha Precision Pentalobe
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O5IM2Y/http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GY5WO8G
Note: There is also another "fix". This one is really hardware based. The iPhone has a screw at the top that grounds the Wi-Fi antenna to the board. If this screw does not make proper contact or if the EMI shield has been roughhoused with, Wi-Fi performance will decrease. Many have fixed their Wi-Fi problems by tightening this screw.
GOOD LUCK! Might as well try these fixes before you put money down for a new phone!

I have a refurbished iPhone 5 (which I got less than a year ago) and the screen becomes unresponsive and there is a purplish haze that appears on the phone when I try to use it. Hasn't been dropped or cracked.. What could it be? help!!

I Have a refurbished iPhone 5 that is less than a year old (apple replaced my first one due to a battery fault) but this one has all of a sudden become unresponsive most times and a purple haze has come thru the background on the lCd. The cursor goes abit cranky sometimes too and jumps from Window to window?! It has never been dropped or screen has never been replaced either no exposure to water or sun. This happened after I upgraded to the new iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the update but I've never had good results from updating the iPhone anyway..
HELP?? I have an appt with Apple tomorrow but don't know if I can wait that long!!
THanks in advance.

I've problem with my Iphone regarding wifi connection.

I've updated my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1. Since then the problems are started:
1. Every time I'm entering the password for my home wifi connection. It is not connecting automatically. I've done network reset and enable the http to "auto" in wifi properties. The problem still the same :-( help me out from this horrible situation. Entering the password every time if I go out n coming back or if I put "off" wifi n then again "on".
2. iPhone is not vibrating :-(. I kept my phone in vibrating mode but it is not vibrating. I don't know what has occurred to iPhone:-(
Help me to solve this problems.
Many thanks

I had a similar issue with our new iPhone 5's over the weekend. I ended up needing to power cycle my router, as my laptop was having problems connecting also. How it ended up that the router would have issues right when we got these new phones is beyond me, but that's what did it. See if that helps.

And the wifi device starts showing in a separate list - "devices" on iphone and when I try to connect with this wifi again it does not connect and I have to switch the wifi off and on again and it connects alright.
THis is problem does not happen with samsung devices all the time.
COuld anyone suggest to do some settings so that I don't have to do this on and off business.

Wireline Connection Significantly Less Than Modem's

I have a WRT160N router. When I connect my computer directly to my modem, my speeds are ~21000 kb/s DL and ~2500 kb/s UL. However, when I place my router between the two, I constently get less than 800 kb/s DL. The UL speed remains consistent at ~2500 kb/s.
The lower speed of less than 800 kb/s occurs on all 4 wired access ports and wireless connection to my XP notebook. Is there anything in the settings that restricts the DL throughput?
This issue didn't occur when I used the same router at my last address.

Unfortunately, this didn't work. It actually seemed to make the connection slower, so I changed the setting back to Auto on the router.
A friend has the same router, so I asked to borrow it. When plugged into my modem, his exhibited the same DL/UL behaviors as mine. Yet still, connecting directly to the modem shows >18Mbps up and >2.3Mbps down.
Considering the router is just supposed to be a straight pipe with no limiter, I really don't understand why it is performing this way. All the tests were conducted with my laptop being the only computer on the network with the test being the only internet activity.

Share iphone's wifi connection with laptop?

I've got a 1st gen Macbook Pro that has very weak wifi reception. I often connect my wife's Macbook to mine so I can share her wifi connection.
I've seen the reverse question asked and answered that you can share a Apple laptop connection with an iPhone but can I plug an iPhone into my MBP and use its wifi connection? I know edge tethering is not supported but I don't see why not wifi.

The iPhone can not share its internet connection (WiFi or EDGE). Its a process known as tethering and it is not supported.
