IPhone unable connect wifi

My iPhone 4S very often refuses to connect to my Wi-Fi router.
the connecter loading icon in settings>wifi keeps spinning.
If I reboot the problem is gone.
iPhone 4S iOS5.01

Well the problem hasn't been always there.
It happens very often since I have an app called "downloader".
Because when I'm for example downloading an image I see that the page tries
to load but does not load. Then I check the wifi settings and then I see
that my iPhone is trying to connect to wifi.
That only happens when I'm using the app.

  • Iphone 5 connecting wifi, but no internet

    Hello there. İ have a problem about conectivit to wifi. I have a wireless router at home. I connect my phone to it. Both galaxy s4 and iphone 5 (and some other laptops) connect easily. but when i try to search something on the internet, there is no internet at all. Actually, signal strength is full, still no internet -just for iphone five-. i have tried all kinds of traditional methods that is written here and there like; resetting the router, changing security to wpa2, changing password, resetting network settings on  my iphone, resetting iphone, hard resetting iphone, reconnecting and so on... none of them worked unfortunately. and i am not the only one having wifi issues about iphone 5. It started making me feel like i was cheated buying this phone. i have been using iphone since the second generation. we dont deserve this kind of problems in iphone!

    iPhone 4s is not iphone5 iPhone 5 Will come out next summer
    Your problem is likely that your routers firmware require an Update

  • IPhone  network connections slowed after upgrading to IOS 5.1!!

    My iPhone network connections (WiFi/4G) are extermely slow after performing the update to IOS 5.1! Speedtest.Net results over 4G = 0.15 Mpbs down and 0.05 Mpbs up ans that's will FULL bars! AT&T claims that there are no network issues in my area and they are not throttling my device. Even over WiFi it's taking FOREVER to download apps from the app store, etc... What is going on????

    My WiFi connection works fine, but 4G from ATT gives in 0.15 mpbs download. I called up ATT several times, but they have no resolution to this problem. Everytime they ask me to reset my network connection. This is a big deal for me as I am most of the time on Cellular Data and I need to use iPhone for my work. I am thinking to roll back to iOS 5.0.1. What in this world could turn a 3G phone into a 4G phone just by a software upgrade? I just feel like I am down to a 1G phone. Apple please fix this asap and release a patch, else I may not be able to use this phone.

    Well, it seems the problem I listed in my previous post (unable to wireless sync with iTunes 10.2) has resolved itself.  My iPhone now syncs wirelessly.  Happy for small miracles!

  • HT1349 iphone 4S - my wifi keeps dropping or it comes up with a message "unable to connect"

    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 5 unable to connect wifi

    I bought unlocked iphone 5 last Nov.. WIFI connection works well, and updated to ios 6.02. after two month, iphone 5 can't connect password-protected wifi, starbucks and macdonald's wifi. Sometime show wifi connected, but internet doesn't work.  I tried reset iphone5, but useless
    Meanwhile, iphone 4, blackberry and android connect wifi very well under same wifi environment.

    I had the same issue and usually a reset of all the network settings on iphone did the trick.
    this method did not work with my iphone 5 . i did something in router settings that seemed to change things a lot, for the better.
    the wifi channel usually the routers use is channel 11, so i changed mine to channel 1. this solved my issues and the iphone connected just fine to the network, without restarting the iphone or resetting any settings or switching off and back on the wifi.
    i am on 6.1.3 iOS

    I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
    In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
    Thanks

    Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

  • Iphone wont connect to wifi on time capsule?

    I have a time capsule connected to a BT Infinity Hub and I have disabled wifi on the hub and set up a private network on the time capsule. My daughters laptop, ipad and my ipad can connect to the network but 2 x iphone 4 and 1 x iphone 4s cannot. They can see the network, they get the password prompt but when connecting they get the error message unable to join the network. Does anyone have any ideas?

    After trawling through websites I have been able to fix the problem and now my iphones are connected. In the airport utility settings choose wireless tab, wireless options button and change the channel to the highest setting. for me this was 13 and hey presto connection made.

  • How do I stop my iPhone from connecting to the WiFi connection that my laptop just used?

    I have an iPhone (7.1.2) and MacBook Pro (10.9.4). When I connect to a WiFi connection on my laptop, my iPhone always connects to the same network, even though I've explicitly told my iPhone to forget about specific networks.This issue ends up disabling the internet on my iPhone, as I often connect to networks on my laptop that require VPN connections, logins, etc that I am unable or unwilling to do on my iPhone. How do I keep the two separate?

    Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
    I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
    I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
    Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works?

  • Iphone issues with wifi connection?

    while connected to my home network internet connection does not work properly.
    Most of the time safari will work fine, although sometimes it can say can't connect... but the most annoying of all is that itunes almost ALWAYS gets the "cannot connect to itunes store" error. it will often work ok when i first load it, and then if i click say the updates or seach buttons it will try to load and then fail, or if i try to install an app it keeps saying "cant connect" with the option to retry.. if i retry 10-15 times eventually it might work..
    my home network is fine. i have a few laptops that connect to it, and other iphones that connect to my network experience the same problems.
    my router is a billion 7500G

    i gave it a go last nite, same problem.
    this morning i opened the appstore while connected to wifi (with bluetooth on).. and mind you i was probably sitting about 6 metres from the router through a wall so my connection should have been perfect
    as i opened the appstore it loaded fine. i click "updates" i get the dreaded "cannot connect to itunes" message. after trying a couple of times i get the page to load eventuall, and when i try to instal an app update, i get the same message with the "retry option". after retrying 5-6 times i couldnt be bothered anymore and gave up.
    i should also point out that my internet connection is fine.. adsl2+, which is pretty much as good as it gets here in australia.
    to me it seems to be some ort of issue between my billion router and the iphone, being incompatible in some way, whether its configuration or not..
    on another forum somebody suggested a while ago that i try to set a static ip for the phone.. did that to no avail..

  • IPhone is connected to Macbook Hotspot but unable to actually surf

    Although my iPhone is connected to the Wifi (Hotspot by Macbook) neither Safari nor Whatsapp work nor anything else.  It only works if I delete the password of the Wifi, but than it is open for everyone. It used to work with a WPA2 password as well, but all of a sudden no matter how often I change the password or the channel, the iPhone won't be able to get a 'real' connection. Only if I take out the password completely. I've no idea why that is, because the iPhone works with any other Wifi and the Macbook created the Hotspot and it works if there's no password and it used to work with a password too... So I'm really confused what the reason could be.
    Suggestions how to solve this problem are highly apreciated!
    Thanks!

    Yes, I tried that too and I also resetted my iPhone Network Settings and I tried about any combination of channel and password. It seems like I messed it up, because now it does not even work if I create an open hotspot. The iPhone has full conectivity (the sign in the top has 3 bars) but I cannot load any webpage or connect to Whatsapp. Any other Wifi still works though.
    Thanks for the help

  • Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot?

    Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot? And if so can it be through wifi or does it have to be Bluetooth or USB?
    Sounds like an odd question but my phone will connect to BT Openzone so I want to share that with my iPad via personal hotspot. I could use 3G but then it comes off my data allowance and I don't want to have to buy a separate SIM for my iPad if I can avoid it. I can swap my sim from my phone, but that's a pain!
    Thanks
    Luke

    No, unfortunately Personal Hotspot will only use your 3G plan.
