IPhone OS 3.1.3 wifi problems

Every time my iPhone goes on stand-by the wifi disconnects and wont re connect or even if im quitting an app to look at another one or such. Ive reset my network settings, restored my iphone. I've seen some people say that it is a hardware issue but im also wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a way to fix it?

By design, the wi-fi connection is dropped after a period of time when the iPhone has been in stand-by, but it should reconnect quickly to the available wi-fi network when waking the iPhone up.
When you restored your iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup? Wi-Fi settings are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in this regard, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
You posted in the iPhone 3GS discussions area so assuming this is correct - you have a 3GS, if no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone remains under warranty.

My Iphone/ Ipod touch 4th gen WiFi problems and solution

Just wanted to let people know the problems that I had with my 4th gen Ipod touch and Iphone 4 WiFi connections (and my solution).
I was having consistent problems with my WiFi connection at home - my devices were connecting fine to the router and apparently the signal was full strength; however, nothing was working properly (internet, itunes, app store). To be specific the devices would work for 5-10 minutes but then the connection would start to falter. My other wireless devices were working fine (HTC Hero, laptops etc.) - just the ipod and iphone seemed to suffer from this signal problem (although the router was always apparently connected).
Obviously, I read countless forums to try and diagnose the problem. There seemed to be a litany of possible causes and I tried the following to resolve the issue:
- updated router (Netgear WGR614 v6) firmware
- rotated wireless encryption (WEP/WAP/nothing)
- changed router channel
- reset router power
- reset network settings on Apple devices
- changed g and b settings on router
Nothing seemed to work so I began to question the hardware i.e. the router (which I knew was working from my other devices) and the iphone/ipod.
I tested my iphone and ipod on other wireless networks (McDonalds in the UK has free WiFi) and found that, in contrast, they worked fine on other networks. I had read a few posts from people saying that my router was perhaps too old. So as a last resort I bought myself a new router (Netgear WNR2000 v2). I was loathe to do this earlier in case it didn't work, since reasonable spec routers are £50
Anyway it worked ... straight away. I have tested the new connection at home using this SpeedTest app. D/load = 9.01 Mbps, U/load = 0.46 Mbps, Ping 65ms. The router is using the full encryption (WAP2 something ...) and N connection.
As you can probably tell I'm no WiFi expert - I just wanted to post this in case people are having similar issues with older routers. I wasn't able to find any definitive advice and solutions from other users so I though I'd contribute here, which I guess is the first port of call for new Apple users, like me
I bought the new router 10 days ago and have been enjoying my full speed connection ever since - touch wood. Hope this helps.

Sounds like an intermittent contact problem some where eon the logic board. Hard to trace down and fix

Iphone 5c and Macbook Air wifi problems

Just bought an iphone 5c and got the new macbook air in September. Everything has been great with my macbook air until I got my iphone 5c. The problem comes when I have both the phone and laptop together, connected to my home wifi. Only one will connect at a time, on my iphone it wont even recognise my home wifi but as soon as I disconnect my laptop the wifi becomes visable. I know its not a router issue, Ive turned it on and off and it only works for about 5 minutes. Can anyone tell me what the think is going on or how to fix it? Thanks, Eva

What exactly have you tried? Did you try different security settings? Which ones did you try? Were there any more successful than another? Which one was it on when it worked for a few seconds? Is the router running the latest firmware?

IPhone 4s, 8.1.1, wifi problem

After upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 from 8.1 on two different 4s phones, the wifi that was working before the upgrade no longer does. The symptoms are that the phones take an eternally long time to connect and once they do, there is no data transfer at all via wifi. I reset network settings, power cycled the router, and even crossed my fingers and toes. This isn't an issue with the phone hardware, the router, or anything but the cotton-pickin' 8.1.1 update. I'm currently downloading 8.1 to downgrade until this gets fixed. Apple needs to pull and rework 8.1.1 pronto.

So downgrading didn't fix it either. Reupgraded and power cycled everything several times; now both devices are connected without issues... so far.

I have a iphone 4s. Recently the wifi greyed out when i was on ios 7.0.4 and itunes said to update the phone to ios 8.0.2 to solve the problem. Today i did it and still wifi is greyed out. In the "About" under Settings, it shows N/A infront of wifi

i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

After updating my wife's iPad to iOS6 the ipad will not connect to wifi on certain wireless routers. What can we do? Also, same for iPad mini with same router. But iPhone that has iOS5 has no problem connecting.

Need help. Before updating to latest software iOS6 the iPad had no issues connecting on our home router. After updating the iPad will not work. We have a mini iPad with same issue. But I have a iPhone 4S that I chose not to update to iOS6, still has iOS5. It connects no problem to router. Our computers have no issues connecting to router either. There is a software issue with iOS6.0.1 that will not allow certain routers to communicate. What can I do? Also, the mini iPad stated a newer version of software is out, version 6.0.2 which is supposed to correct the wifi problems. It has helped but still haven't connectivity issues. However, the iPad states software is up-to-date so we cannot update to 6.0.2 even through connecting to computer on iTunes. How can that be?

Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.

WiFi problem ipad Mini & iphone

Since updating to iOS 7.0.3 (and then to 7.0.4), my ipad mini often has not been able to access wifi. While the wifi icon is still showing a strong connection, the network activity icon just goes around in circles. Sometimes there's a message that it cannot connect to the server. This also happens to my iphone 4, less frequently and not at the same time.
When I power off and restart the device, sometimes wifi works properly again, sometimes not - but it always shows the wifi icon as working. i have tried different things like closing all open apps.
There is no problem with my network or my wifi connection. Both of these devices worked flawlessly until iOS 7.0.3. Anyone else having the same problem?

Nope, no WiFi problems with either iOS 7.0.3 or 7.0.4 on an iPhone 5, an iPad 3 and an iPad 4.

What are you talking about? What "chip" cannot be changed, and what does that have to do with WiFi?
Please explain the problem you're having and any error messages you're getting.

Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S. I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Is someone SURE of where is the wifi problem on iPhone 4S?

I'm a little sick of this. I don't know for how many time I'll have the wifi problem. I'm just unhappy because I bought this device with my illusion and I have this, i think, serious problem.
I just want to know if someone knows, for sure, if the problem is from software or hardware.
I someone said me, sincerely, that he/she tested that is a software issue I'll feel better. It should be just for some time that apple fix it.

well... sorry but i Thought that you knew it.
Just google and you'll know that i'm correct.
There's a lot of people that have a problem with wi-fi on their iPhone 4S. The connection crash and don't let us todo things like download some applications. Wi-fi restarts, has cuts..
Sorry, but i'm from spain and, of course, my language is spanish and can't explain much better. But you can read AT THIS FORUM a lot of people that had the same issue. People that buy a new router, change de router's IP, try to make a single connection with their device...
I red that it could be iOS 5. Someone wrote that he downgraded his device, worked fine and failed again when upgrading it ti iOS 5.
I just don't know. I just know that people was angry for the antenagate on iPhone 4 and now there is people, like me, scared about the wi-fi problem. And, of course, thinking what to do.

At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it? Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?
