My iPhone 5 cannot detect or join any network unless it is 5 inches near any router

Hi,
For more than two weeks now I have this problem & I tried everything from resetting network setting to restoring my iPhone 5.
I bought it one month ago & it was working just fine with my work & home WiFi networks. One day suddenly lost the signal.
Now I came to know after several attempts that it will detect & join any network provided that I stay "literary" beside the router!!!
I Googled the problem & I tried every possible solution but all failed to solve it.
I was waiting for release of the new iOS but it is taking too long. I am thinking to try the beta 6.1! Any ideas??
P.S/ My wife's iPhone 5, which I bought along with mine, is working on iOS 6.1 b3 & there is no problem with WiFi.
Thanks

Activation requires a SIM card.
Beyond that, most activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If the device has been hacked or jailbroken, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • Iphone 3GS cannot detect SIM card

    Hi My iphone 3GS cannot detect the SIM card.
    The phone shows full bar for service provider but 3G unable. It cannot receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • Microwaved iPhone 4, cannot detect WiFi.

    I have microwaved my iPhone 4 for 3 seconds (hearing rumors about it charging your phone) and it turns out now it cannot detect WiFi what's so ever.

    Seriously? You bought into that crap?
    Guess you'll be buying a new phone.

  • My iphone 5c cannot detect my sim card to get started to be activated

    My iphone cannot detect my sim card and get activated.  On top of the left corner indicates the word "searching"?  Please Help

    The iPhone is locked to a different carrier. Only that carrier and authorize unlocking so you can use the iPhone with other carriers, so you will have to contact that original carrier and ask if you qualify for unlocked and if so what their procedure is.
    Regards.

  • HT5569 When I attempt to choose the wi fi network I set up my iPhone message says "unable to join the network."  It's my network!

    Recently, my iphone 4s lost connection with the wifi network I set up on my imac desktop.  The message I receive is "unable to join the network..."
    Can anyone offer a solution to this problem?  Thanks!

    Oh, so the problem has nothing at all to do with the iPhone ... it is that you cannot remember the network password!  No wonder the iPhone cannot join the network.
    Why not simply destroy the network and set up a new one with a password you remember?

  • IPhone 4 cannot detect wifi unless almost next to router

    I've had my iPhone 4 for about 2 months now and it could detect wifi at quite a good range. But until recently I have had to get almost completely next to the router for it to detect. It's not my wifi; my sister's phone can detect it at a certain range, but mine cannot. I don't know what happend to it! HELP!
    (PS My sister also has an iPhone 4)

    Hello lvorwerck,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help resolve issues with signal strength when using Wi-Fi on your iPhone.
    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

  • My iPhone 4s cannot connect to my home network, can't figure out why...

    My phone recognizes my home network but cannot join it.  I have tried the option to forget the network and then gone back in and retyped in the password, but it just keeps spinning in a circle trying to connect to my home network, but never connects?
    Both my iMac and Macbook have no problems being connected to the same network.
    Any thought on what the problem could be?
    Thanks

    Have you tried to reset all network parameters? It may help.
    Preferences > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Careful, DO NOT PRESS the other ones by mistake.

  • Cannot detect CFP 2000 on network

    Hi
    I am trying to detect a CFP 2000 device in the measurement and automation explorer software, the device and PC are on the same subnet and no firewalls are present yet there is nothing to select under remote systems.
    When I switch the device on the status LED is continuous, then after 5-10 seconds flashes continuously. I have tried the reset IP switch then resetting but this does not work either.
    I am new to using NI equipment but have been informed the device was working fine 4 weeks ago, and no changes have taken place since.  Any suggestions to get it working again?
    Thanks for the help
    Ashley 

    Thank you for the quick reply.  The status LED is continuously flashing and appears to be in no sequence, looking at the manual (quote below) this seems like there is no IP address assigned although according to the network administrator this should happen automatically.
    "After about five seconds, the STATUS LED begins flashing. The cFP-20xx is ready to be configured, and you can install the FieldPoint
    software.  If you have already assigned an IP address to the cFP-20xx, the STATUS LED turns off, the I/O module READY LEDs come on, and the cFP-20xx
    is ready for use. The total boot time for a configured system is 30–45 seconds."
    Thanks

  • Image capture cannot detect Epson 10000XL over network.

    I have an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner with an ethernet card, connected to an Airport Express, and then wirelessly to my iMac. The Epson Scan application detects the scanner and allows scanning to take place, but Image Capture does not detect the scanner.  How do I also get Image Capture to detect my scanner wirelessly?  Thank you.

    As promised, I called Apple this morning, and they said that Epson (not Apple) was responsible for providing the drivers for their scanners.  Since I can connect my iMac and Epson scanner to all of my scanning applications through a USB connection, and can only connect wirelessly to Epson Scan, it follows that Epson provides only a driver to connect with their proprietary Epson Scan and no drivers for connecting to other scanning software, including Image Capture.
    This looks like the end of my efforts to connect wirelessly to Image Capture.  Thanks for your help, PAHU. 

  • HT1365 IPhone 4S suddenly won't join WiFi networks

    Any ideas?  At times, the on/off button in wifi settings is "ghosted".

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • "unable to join the network..." and it's my router!

    My router is working fine for my iMac; and it was for my iPad as well until 2 days ago.  Now I can't get a wi-fi connection...suggestions?

    I have had this same problem and tried all the suggestions here and everywhere else I could find.  So just a minute ago, I walked into the room my router is in, stood next to it with the ipad and IT CONNECTED!  I didn't do anything different.  I have had this ipad about 9 months and have come to realize that it is very tempermental about it's proximity to the router, although in the past I was usually able to connect from anywhere in the house but two rooms away from the router the signal would be weak.  Go figure.
