My iphone 5 will non find wifi networks away from home after ios upgrade

ios 7.0.2 does not find wifi networks away from my home network

the most popular "solution" is to overheat your iphone for about 10 minutes and then to cool it in the fridge however, i heard that this harms your phone as well

  • Want to have My iPod Touch to be connected to a WiFi while away From Home

    While at Home I am connected to my WiFi through my computer system but when I am away from home there isn't very much WiFi Hot spots in my area except when I am in a Star bucks or in a business that says that they have "Free" WiFi. I have a few WiFi iPod Touch Apps that are able to locate Free WiFi Hot Spots but when I go and try to use them when I am away from home I am not able to use it at all.
    Is there a way that I can have my iPod Touch to be set up where I can be connect to any WiFis when I am away from Home? or have my iPod Touch to be able to search for any WiFis in my area?
    Note: I have a MobileMe Account and I have a email account with my local Isp which is a Pop account.

    I'll add another positive review about the MiFi device and its use with a Touch. I've had this for about 2 months, and it works very well. And I'll disagree with the poster who said "get an iPhone".
    The MiFi has several advantages over the iPhone -- First, it's a mobile hotspot that can provide WiFi for up to 5 devices simultaneously (the iPhone can't do that, even once AT&T enables tethering); Second, the MiFi allows use of a network other than AT&T (which many users may appreciate)...aside from Verizon, Sprint sells a version that works on its network; Finally, the price of the MiFi and its usage plan may well end up being less expensive than an iPhone.
    It's not cheap, but then again, neither is an iPhone and its usage plan. I spend nearly $60/month on the expensive MiFi plan, but can switch down (and then back up) to the lower-priced $40/month plan if I don't need the full 5gb a month that the higher plan provides.
    Sure, you don't get a telephone with the Touch + MiFi solution (although Skype works well if you add a microphone to your Touch), but not everyone wants/needs a phone...and for those who want primarily data/WiFi/Web, the MiFi with a Touch will give an iPhone a real run for its money.
    I'll also add that the original poster may just need access to more hotspots - i.e., other than those that advertise "free" WiFi. If that's the case, she might consider something like a Boingo membership which will get her online in many places...including just about every McDonalds in the US.

  • Using iphone with macbook air to access internet away from home

    Can I use the iphone as a dongle to access internet on Macbook air. I find using the iphone fiddly and would prefer the laptop when away from home.

    You can, but you have to pay an additional fee to AT&T. I think it's about $20/month for tethering.

  • Iphone 5 finds wifi network but cant connect after putting in password

    hi, i have tried all day to get my iphone to connect to my wifi by resetting network settings, entering wifi password again and turning off router etc. after typing in password the wifi tab in settings says that i am connected to this wifi but in the tab at the top of my phone where it says your network/service carrier and battery percentage, the 3 bars that tell how strong my connection is does not appear at all

  • WET6`0N - Will Not Detect My WIFI Network (EA4500) in Survey After Firmware Upgrade

    Own 3 units.Model: WET610N2 units in old firmware:      ver 1.0.0.31 unit with latest firmware: ver 1.0.0.6 After upgraded 1 unit to the latest firmware, ver 1.0.0.6, it will only show One (1) 2.4 MHz network of a neighbor. The other 2 units is running without problem wiht ver 1.0.0.3 . Since the upgrade, I have tried, more then once, Reboot, Factory Default, Power Recycle, 30 second Power Recycle, WPS connection, etc. to no result.Chat with Linksys help desk but was told basically the following: "Warranty Period is over", "Previous version of Firmware is no longer available", ""I am sure I can get it to work but will cost a service charge". Anyone has any suggestion would be wonderful. Basically I am trying to revert it back to the old firmware, ver 1.0.0.3. Where can I get a copy? Another option will be backup/copy the firmware from the other unit that I have, but is they a way to make a copy?Any idea will be helpful.

  • HT3574 If my iphone already connected to a wifi network like my home network, can I use internet tethering without using my limited data?

    I don't want an answer like "Google it" or to have take an Hour drive to the Apple store for this question.
    Considering when you are connected to Wi-Fi, your data does not get spent when you use the internet on your phone.
    Can I run the Connection from my Phone to a Computer without using my Data?

    You misunderstand me.  My IT department neither condone, nor condemn my actions.  I tried to connect my company bought kindle to my iphone to use it as a gateway (because it has no ability to accept proxy details).  I noticed that every time I created a personal hotspot on my phone it would disconnect from from the wireless and switch to 3G.  I came looking to see if I was doing something wrong and discovered it is not intended to work in the way that I thought it would.
    I work for a college and a large part of my role is investigating technology, discovering what works with current systems, including what needs to be changed or modified to work with what we have in place already.  This is usually due to demand from students but also occasionally staff.  Part of this role includes making sure that there aren't work arounds (like I was trying above) that could be circumnavigating our security.  I've found it interesting to try and stay one step ahead of the next batch of fresh and shiny minds that like to prod and poke the network.
    TL;DR I answered about 4 or 5 personal and corporate tech related questions in one foul swoop!  Thank you for your help.

  • IPhone 4s will not play through AUX port in car after iOS 6 upgrade

    I have a friend who can no longer play music from her iphone through the Auxiliary port in her car. She had been able to do this before the iOS 6 upgrade. In fact, when I checked using a portable speaker, the music did not play.
    I researched this and found lots of cases, but no solution. I was surprised to find that there were some users who had experienced no problem.
    Is there any wisdom out there on this curious issue. Unfortunately, I do not have the iPhone available for immediate testing of any suggestions. I can relay information to my friend.
    TIF

    does it play out of headsets?
    maybe the detector is stuck so they don't detect anything connected
    this is not uncommon and the fact that it happened around the time of an ios update
    can be a much pure chance as it happening while a black cat crossed the street

  • My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

    my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

    Hey craggee,
    Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
    If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

  • 4S iPhone will not discover WiFi network

    My phone will not discover a WiFi network

    Wow, same problem here after I upgraded to iOS6. My bluetooth and wifi both stopped working completely.  I called tech support who told me i wasn't covered and acted like they had never heard of this happening and tried to sell me a $100 dollar warranty to get it fixed.  I found these discussion forums and saw how many people were having the same problem and called tech support back to tell them I didn't appreciate the guy acting like he had never heard of this.
    Turns out, I am completely covered under Apple care and she set me up with an appointment to get a new phone tomorrow, no charge.  Now I see all these people who got replacements and are still having the same problem.  Just when I thought I had everything fixed.  Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

  • IPhone Recognises All Wifi Networks Bar my Home Network

    I have recently purchased a 32GB iPhone 4 (not 4S), and I have encountered the following problem: It will recognise most wifi networks promptly and without issue, but it does not recognise the one I use at home. Obviously this is a quite serious issue, as it is here that I will do most of my web browsing on my phone, and a stable wifi is needed to download apps. So without this I really have no recourse.
    The problem in more detail:
    I have been doing some research and, although some people have similar issues, my problem is unique. First, my phone does not even list the network in the wifi tab under 'choose a network'; second, I cannot add it by inputting the information for the network manually (it says 'Could not find the network 'X'); and third, it is not the case that this is a 'new' problem. I got the phone three days ago and it has never been able to recognise my home network. Apple and my service provider give me no help as it connects to all other networks I have encountered thus far.
    All of these points lead me to believe that it is a problem particularly with my Network. However, it is not a hardware issue. In my household I have two desktop iMacs (both new) connected to this network, my three year old laptop, and two iPads (one first and one second generation). I have never had a problem with recognising the network or connecting to it on any of these devices; only the iPhone.
    Additional information:
    -This problem occured both under the operating system my phone came with (4. something) as well as the latest upgrade (5.0.1)
    -The phone does have a 'Wi-Fi Address in system preferences
    -The phone is indeed brand new
    -The router I am using is a Cisco DPQ3925
    -The channel width I am using is 20MHz
    -I have my 'standard channel' set to 'Auto' (changing this makes me lose the network on all devices)
    -The network is set to WPA2 Personal (not WEP, which seems to be causing some people problems)
    -The SSID is indeed being broadcast
    -This problem occurs regardless of how far I stand from the router
    Attempted Solutions
    -I have done a full restore to no avail
    -I have restarted network settings on my iphone many times
    -I have tried resetting the router with no luck
    -I have tried turning on/off cellular data several times
    -I have tried turning on/off location services several times
    As mentioned, I assume the problem has something to do with the iPhone recognising the network settings. Some have suggested interference with other devices. I unfortunately have little experience fiddling with router settings, so I'll need to be walked through if this is the issue.
    I eagerly await any possible solutions you would offer, and I am quite grateful in advance. I must say that this problem is very vexing. I have had my previous Nokia 3210 for over 10 years, and was quite resistant to upgrading. I am a Mac fanatic, and always want the newest models of PCs, but I have long resisted updating my phone for fear of problems just like this one. Please prove my phone troglodytism wrong!

    I have an iPhone 4 and I do not have trouble with my wi-fi. I thought I would take the time to look at my router settings and see if there is something that I could find that differs. I use a Linksys WRT160N router, so that is one difference to start with, but that shouldn't be that big of a deal. I am using WPA2 Personal for security with a channel width of 20 MHz. Is there a possibility that you have MAC filtering on that would be preventing your device from connecting? Have you checked the Cisco website to ensure you have the most current software for the router? Which network mode are you using, B, G, N, Mixed? Are you able to connect to any other wi-fi network anywhere, a public one like McDonald's, Starbucks, your work? This would explain whether the wi-fi is good or there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.

  • Does iTunes match only works on my Iphone 5 when im on wifi network??

    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set to "use cellular data" to ON. Be aware this will use your mobile data allotment when streaming music.

  • My iphone can't see any wifi networks

    my iphone can't see any wifi networks ... i tried to reset network setting and reset all setting and update the ios system but no way

    I, too, fear it might be a hardware problem . I removed all security from my router but still no networks appear in the list nor can I connect directly by typing in the SSID. Tried two routers: Apple Airport Extreme and a Linksys something-er-other provided by Bell.
    I will give HP a call tomorrow and see if they can sort this out.
    Thank you for your help/advice!
    Edit: almost certain it's a hardware problem: I clicked on the Help button while on that "Scanning for networks" dialog during initial setup and as one of the "helpful" suggestions, it said my Mac address was 00:00:00:etc.

  • HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

    Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday.   Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.   
    we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on.   Turned wireless off and back on.
    but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
    What do do next?

    Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
    Click Delete on your keyboard
    It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

  • Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network

    Hello
    Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network.
    I tried to solve the problem in several ways.
    1. reset neteaork definitions.  -> did not solve the problem
    2. reset location and privecy  -> did not solve the problem.
    3. reset all definitions            ->  did not solve the problem.
    Doses any one has any idea that can help?
    Thakns
    Moti

    The only other option I can think of is to try a Reset All Settings reset.  You won't lose anything, but your phone's settings will ALL be set back to factory default. 
    If this doesn't work you could try to do a restore through iTunes and set your phone up as new.  If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware problem and will need to take the phone in to an Apple store to have it checked out.
