IPhone makes my wifi router drop it's signal

When I drain my iPhone completly & plug it in to charge (USB wall charger not USB port on laptop), after the 5-10 mins with the red lightening screen when the phone comes back on my wifi router drops it's signal, this has been happening for a while now so I got into the habit of turning wifi off on iPhone just before it was due to completly die so when it came back on the router didn't drop it's signal & it wasn't that much of a problem doing this once a week.
However things are getting worse now, if I leave my house & my wifi is on, when I return home it's doing the same thing & making the router drop out. I can't be messing around turning wifi on & off everytime I return home.
I have also just had to reset my iPhone & once again when it turned back on the router dropped out.
Anyone any idea why it's doing this & how to stop it other than turning wifi on & off?

Thanks for that, just checked & I'm running the latest firmware version already
for info it's a Belkin wireless G plus router, model number FSD7231-4 version 1212uk

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.

IPhone 4 Causing WiFi to drop

Every time I connect my iPhone 4 to my WIFI network at home it drops. it dosent happen right away, sometimes it take an hour or two. The network has 2 MacBook Pros iPhone 3gs and iPhone 4 and a PC.
a Quick power cycle of the router will fix this, lately I have jus kept the wifi off on the iPhone, I have also reset the network settings on the iPhone and still no change. Using a netgear router with the latest firmware. Any thoughts?... Thanks

I had a similar problem about 6 months ago. What I did was changed the password authentication from WPA to WPA2 in the router itself, which has worked since, without any problems.
Good Luck!

IPhone makes a random water drop sound through out the day. All notifications are turned off? Not sure what the cause is.

My iPhone randomly makes a sound like a drop of water into a puddle. I've turned off all notifications and it till does it. Any suggestions?

Do you have an app called Life360?
See this thread: My 4s started making this strange sound like a ping/water drop! What is it?

I cannot connect to iTunes Store, I have re booted both my iPhone iPad and wifi router any suggestions ?

I have done all the usual re boots on wifi and iPad, phone and so that is not the problem. I have 3 apps waiting to update bit they are stuck there, I cannot connect to iTunes Store and so you know I am not trying to connect to tunes! I am trying to update apps but cannot connect on either my iPad or iPhone. Changing the date does not work! Has anyone had this happen to them and if so how did you resolve it?

For those who are getting annoyed, I have found a solution which requires you to create a new apple ID without using credit card information:
1. Go the app store
2. Hit cancel when it asks you to sign in (If it doesn't, continue to step 3)
3. Find a free app and try to download it
4. you to sign in option will appear, it will ask you if you want to use existing ID or create a new apple id. SELECT CREATE NEW APPLE ID
5. Follow the steps and when it gets to the stage it asks you for your card info, Choose 'None'
6. Full in all you name and address etc... And click next.
7. Verify your email and Enjoy downloading FREE apps
8. Say thank you as I do appreciate your love :)

IPhone makes a sound when dropped

A few people have reported this. It may be the mute/ringer switch

Router dropping my internet signal every 3-10 minutes

I just signed up with Verizon/FIos in January so I could improve my internet speed. I'm a Professor and Filmmaker and I download and stream videos all the time for work and recreation. I noticed that while streaming I would lose the connection and the film would drop out. I thought perhaps that my AppleTV or another device was interfering with the router signal. I checked every device and have repeatedly turned the router off and back on again. I've also looked at other forums involving similar issues with routers and what not and they all point to the router not working. I wanted faster internet but I can't get it to do what I need it to. Can I get a new router? Is this really the issue?

Hello not sure what router you have but I upgraded to the new faster FIOS gateway G1100 in late December and have had nothing but issues with Internet. My internet dies 3 to 4 times a day and I have to reboot router or ONT ( either works ) to get it back. I have been sent 2 routers with no change. Now they say the problem is my ONT and they need to replace it. They told me others customers are having same issue. I have been waiting now 3 days for them to schedule to replace the ONT. This is very frustrating.

How can I make my Iphone remember my Wifi password?

In IOS5 my Iphone always remembered the WPA passcode for my home Wifi Router whenever I turned the Wifi on, in Settings. Now I have upgraded to IOS6, and every time I come home from work I have to manually put in my home Wifi code. So how can I get it to remember the code so that I don't have to?

It is a software issue but the fix with the phone not wanting to stay connected to a router can be fixed through the router settings. You have to get into your router settings and make sure that you change your broadcast channel to one single channel. Then reconnect to the router that should fix the dropping of wifi. I have seen a lot of posts on this and did not experience any issue until my router settings were reset after messing around with the phone restoring and trying all the fixes I went back into the settings on my router and noticed my broadcast channel was set on auto I changed that and so far no drop on wifi in 36 hrs. It is a software issue though that apple programmers need to address.

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Hi my iphone 4s keeps droping facetime calls and restarting my wifi router home and work. does anyone else have this issue?

I previously had the iphone 4 and on the same routers never droped a facetime call nor did my wifi router restar... is this a 4s issue??? pls help

I'm willing to bet it's dropping the connection because the router is rebooting. Try updating the firmware of the router. If that doesn't stop it re-starting spontaneously, I'd look into a new router.

IPhone 6 - Wifi always dropping, nightmare to reconnect

I wasn't allowed to post in any iPhone community for some bizarre reason..but I'm having serious trouble with my iPhone 6 and wifi.
The connection drops constantly and then it takes around 15 minutes of continuously clicking to get it to reconnect. This has happened since the moment I took it out of the box, and it took me over an hour before I was even able to progress through the initial setup (there was no skip wifi setup the first time round!).
I get the 'unable to connect' and 'incorrect password' messages over and over, despite the password being correct (as it always eventually does connect). If I leave my phone unattended for a second then it will disconnect, and it will never connect automatically when I get home. To get it working, I literally have to toggle airplane mode around 100 times and continuously click our wifi until finally it decides to connect. When connected though, the wifi works great. But it disconnects so often (every time I pick up my phone) and it takes so, so long to reconnect that it's basically unusable.
- Handset has been changed, so it's not a hardware issue with the phone.
- Software all up to date, on the phone and the router.
- Router is standard from TalkTalk (Huawei HG523a), but it works so great and fast for every other device (iPhone 5s, Macbook Pro) and hasn't ever lost connection with those, so I'm assuming the hardware is also fine with that.
- Tried all the usual things on the phone - 'reset network settings', restoring (as new and NOT from iCloud backup), etc.
- Made sure all my internet settings match these: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support.
It seemed to connect fine to the wifi in the Apple store when I got the phone changed for a new one, to which I was advised my problem might be specific to password protected wifi's....? Any help would be appreciated. I'm not buying a new router just so my iPhone 6 connects better - iPhone 4 and 5 connect fine, so why doesn't the 6?

So, how would your question relate to the products that we support in this forum pictured below? The iOS experts do not hang out here.
If you cannot post in the iPhone support forum, try a post in the iPad support forum, since iOS is the same on both the iPhone and iPad

I have an wireless printer and a new wifi router. I have set the printer and iPhone / iPad correctly to the new router but when i try to print it won't recognise the air printer. Help. All was working fine on my old router

I Have a new wifi router and have set up my iPad / iPhone and wireless printer correctly to the new router but I can't print from the iPad and iPhone. It keeps saying ' no AirPrint printer found'. Help please!

Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved

Here is what I have been doing:
I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
DONE, everything works now.
So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
hope that helps.
Oh before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
try my fix hopes that works.

I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card. I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.
