One bar wifi - iphone 5, One bar wifi - iphone 5
No matter what network i connect to, or how close i am to the router, i only have one bar of wifi shown on the iphone 5
Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
Try the following, it may help:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router. Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time. Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings.

I bought me and my wife a iPhone 4 32G and it turns out that she gets better signal then me mine keeps going in and out of service most of the time i only get get one bar how can i fix this?
Restore as new in itunes and try again.

Even with 3 signal bars on a 11mb/s connection. It takes more then 3 mintues to load Google fully!
It works fine loading one page then goes back to being slow or no excitant. It seems to start working again after using speed test.
At first i thought it was the case but after removing it there was no difference
I have tried every thing i could think like:
1. Turing it off and on again
2. A complete restore and backup. (Done this about 3 times)
I'm not sure if the new iOS 6.0.1 up date has caused this as it seemed to work fine for about a week after.
Any help would be appreciated!I have same problem:
I saw another topic on this but it was a couple of months old. Last month I purchased a ipod touch 5g. It runs great except the speedtest tops out at about .3 mbps down and 5 mbps up. I don't understand what is going on. All my other wifi: Macs, ipod touch 4, ipad 2 & 3, etc work fine and get great speed of 9-15 mbps down and 5 mbps up. I can barely watch an Amazon video. Sometimes it goes fast but that is few and far between. I have tried resetting the network on it. I adusted my router for all the recomendations by Apple.
It was suggested to remove the security on the router just to test it. I did that but it made no difference. This happens whether I'm close (10' or less) or farther away. Is there something I'm missing or do I need to return it?
I keep seeing something about iOS 6.0.2 but my iPod Touch says I'm up to date at 6.0.1
thanks,

my ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen cracked about 1 month ago and just yesterday my wifi on my ipod isw playing up and not working very well will apple give me a new one at my genius appointment?
Very likely not. A bvroken screen is not covered by the warranty. It also shows abuse aht voaid the warranty for the entire iPod. Howecver, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise yu will have to pay $99, $149 or $%199 depending upon the capacity,

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working. They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing. I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
I see others have this issue too.
If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it? Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012. The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?sematson wrote:

For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual. If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store. -
My iPhone 4S shows that I am connected to wifi, but still shows 4G and not the bars for wifi.
I have been using my iPhone 4S for one year and has been working perfectly fine until now. I connect it to wifi and it shows the blue check, showing I am supposed to be connected, but at the top, where the 4G network shows, it stays at 4G and does not show the bars for the wifi. It only connects to the one home network I have. When I am connected to the home wifi, it kicks me off the wifi everytime I put my phone on standby--> lock it after I am done using it. It also kicks me off my home wifi occasionally, when I am in the middle of using it, and have to recconect it. If I go to a store, for example, JcPenny, I try to connect it to the wifi there and it shows the blue check, and like I said, the 4G network does not change to the wifi bars. Please try to help me!
You are detecting the wifi, but not connected to it.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I replaced both of my iPhone 4S/7.x with iPhone 5S/7.x and neither was qable to connect to any WiFi unless I was within 20' of the WiFi router. So I took both to the Apple store and they replaced both iPhone 5S.
Now one works perfectly, however the other does not. I went to the Apple store again, and they replaced the replacement iPhone 5S with another 5S. Same problem.
I went back to the Apple store again and they replaced replacement #2 with another replacement, so this is the 3rd time! They recommended I take the replacement iPhone 5S and not restore,but start as a new iPhone. Before I did anything, I checked to see if the WiFi worked "out of the box"....it did not!! Thus, there wasn't any reason to do a new install, since it did not appear to be my software load.
By the way, all 3 of my MacBook Pro's and iPad work perfectly over WiFi.
Also, all my iPhones and iPad are on v 7.04
It doesn't appear to make sense to go back to the Apple store Genius Bar, as it appears all of their stock have this issue.

My phone has been plugged in to my computer for more than one hour and the status bar only shows about less than 1/4 completed. I have an iphone 5s btw.
Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release. -
IPad WIFI Issue similar to iPhone one that has gone unaddressed
Users have been heavily pushing concern over WIFI disconnecting/invisibility behavior on the iPhone and that has gone without response from Apple for months. One wonders if they are dealing with the same issue on the iPad.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1648395&tstart=0
~ M.Note the word similar and not identical in the title folks...
iMac 24", MacBook Air, Macbook all connected to a Time Capsule and flakey WIFI happens off and on with my iPhone and my wife's iPhone. You can also see that many other users have that same experience and like the iPad it manifests itself with low bars, failed to find network, failed to connect to network, invalid password messages, etc...also consistent with what people are reporting on the iPhone. -

Why do both apple devices have different amount of wifi bars in the same location?
If the mail carrier use the mail type called pop3 then when mails are downloaed to a device they are removed from the server unless one set in the settings they are not to be so
If your carrier support the newer types of mail called imap or exchange this will not be the case check if they do
Or look in the settings for a leave on server -
I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks
