My 4s will not stay connnected to WiFi
I've had my 4s for about 6 months now and its not staying connected to my wifi anymore. Every time I manual connect and when it goes into "sleep mode" for about 5 mins and I then turn it on its no longer connected to wifi. What is going on with my phone?
Thanks for taking the time to contact us. We will do all we can do to get your 4S to stay connected to WiFi. This is a feature that is very important.
First, I want you go to to Settings>WiFi>Select your WiFi network and tap the blue circle>Forget the network.
Secondly, go ahead and go back to WiFi to add the WiFi network & attempt the connection again.
Have you reset the network settings and attempted to connect to the WiFi again? http://bit.ly/QCxrjH.
Please feel free to let me know how the iPhone 4S is working once these steps are completed.

iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!
The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option. -

IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC
Hi,
I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend. Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule. Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection. Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep. WhenI wake it up, it asks me again. I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't. I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer. Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected. Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network. Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
Thanks.For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ... -
My IPad 2 with 5.0 will not stay connected to WIFI
Since I upgraded to 5.0 on my Ipad 2 I cannot stay connected for more than a minute or two and then it loses the signal and I have to completely shut down and power up again. This only works for a minute or so and then it tells me there is no signal. I am in Lima Peru and newer routers are not likely to be here for a year or two, if old routers are a problem. I have tried the Ipad on several routers, different hotspots and the result is the same.
Tried all of the above. My wife's Ipad works where mine does not. Did restore to factory settings, twice, and still drops Wifi. IPad is under warranty and Apple said to send it in for warranty replacement. Problem is I am in Lima Peru so that is a little tougher to exchange. The "store" that sells Apple here is only a shadow of a real Apple Store and are of little use or value except to buy new things in boxes at higher prices and limited inventories.
Thanks for your suggestions however! -
TS1398 Iphone 4s will not stay connected to wifi after update
I can see my network, it connects for a few seconds and then disconnects. This started after the update. I have tried reseting the router, the phone..............everything 100X.
All my other devices work fine and other types of phones can connect to my network. It's a specific problem wth this phone.Hello Danielle,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved 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

Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?
I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi... it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!
This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
(There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
My Airport card specs are:
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Firmware Version: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
PHY Mode: 802.11a
The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
These are the changes I made:
Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
My Mini now connects on:
PHY Mode: 802.11g
Signal / Noise: -64 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate: 54
instead of previously
PHY Mode: 802.11a
Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate: 36
This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
The iMac is still connecting on
PHY Mode: 802.11n
Signal / Noise: -69 dBm / -88 dBm
Transmit Rate: 216
and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term) -
