One of my 2 iPhone 5S does not connect to WiFi unless I'm in the same room, Apple has replaced the iPhone 3 times same problem

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.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated

Iphone 5 does not connect to Wifi.

My Iphone will not connect to Wifi. My Macbook connects fine. I entered the password correctly, followed all the suggested steps, i.e. Forget this network and Reset the settings but nothing works. It worked for a bit, after I closed the page it failed to log back in.

I tried talking to Apple Support, they basically guided me through to restoring my phone as new backing all my data on my computer. Didn't work.
I didn't think to ask about this but it seemed like I wasn't the only person that came across this issue. It was working fine for me this morning at another wifi setup as home but now it is not.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248U receiver in Pickup. There are 2700 songs but only get through the first 200 Apple has replaced the Ipod 3x and Kenwood says it is not a problem with the receiver.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248C receiver in my Pickup. There are about 2700+ songs on the Ipod, but only get through the first 200 to 300 songs. The screen fades, but there is still power and a charge. Does anyone have a clue because I don't.?

There seem to be compatibilty isuue with KDC receiver and Ipod Classic firmware 1.1.2.
Here is an earlier post on the same problem.

HT4972 The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks

The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks that I have used in the past. I noticed this after I updated to version 6. I have tried to reset network settings ;turn off and on wi-fi; reset home network and it's still not working. Is there a fix for this problem?

Try resetting your network settings. Go to General\Reset\Reset Netork Settings. Sometimes this will fix things. If not, what type of router do you have, what network are you running (B, G, N, etc.).,
Good luck!

Since upgrading to iOS 6 my iPhone now does not connect to my 2013 elantras Bluetooth set up where as with the previous version of iOS it connected seamlessly. Please let me know if you have any solutions. Thanks

Have you checked to see if Elentra has a firmware update since the new iOS release?

HT4623 My IPhone 4S does not recognize any wi-fi network. I have turned it off and on a dozen times and tried 6 places which have wi-fi. Help

My IPhone 4S does not recognize any wi-fi network. I have turned it off and on a dozen times and tried 6 places which have wi-fi.
I am trying to update to 7.0.2 and cannot because I cannot access a wi-fi.

Give this a whirl and see if this helps.
Forget the network on the device and turn wifi off.
Turn bluetooth off. (Not sure why, but seemed to help with others)
Turn on airplane mode and then off again.
Reconnect to you network and open up a browser to confirm connection.

Hello, Arkh_tyi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

MY IPHONE 5 does not connect with 3g only wifi

Has it ever connected to 3g?
If this is a recent problem perhaps you've reached your Mb limit: if it never has connected are you sure you're paying your carrier for cellular Internet.

Ipad mini does not connect SOME wifi

My iPad mini does not connect some wifi. I tried all instructions like resetting settings, on-off router, manuel configuration but it is still same. I am using same router at my home and with same confiqs, it is connecting there, other iPads, iPhones are also connecting to wifi here, It also connects some other wifi's.
I've read that there is no solution, I have to change it.
Do you have any other idea? Because here-Turkey- it is not easy to do it like USA.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My IPhone 4s will not connect to wifi, what can I do?

My IPhone 4s will not connect to wifi, what can I do?i have tried network reset, turning wifi off and on but my phone will not connect to any network.

Hi jazznola9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several steps you can take when troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity on an iPhone and it sounds like you have already done a few of them already. In your situation I would recommend reading over and working through the steps listed in the attached article.

My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. Please help me.

My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. I have even updated it to iOS 6.0.2. This is terribly upsetting me. Please help me.

I Found a solution on another discussion thread, do a hard reset by holding the on/off switch at the same time as the centre button. An apple logo comes up. My iphone 5 had been connecting to my home wifi for months and then for the last 2 months kept telling me the password was incorrect. This fixed it and it connected straight away.

IMac does not connect to wifi on boot

I own an iMac and run it with OS X 10.7.5. Ever since system update 10.7.3 (February 2012) my mac more often than not does not connect to wifi on boot. I have to select diagnostics and connect manually. I did a design of experiment and have now discovered that I do not have this problem if I wait about a minute to log in after the login prompt displays. I like my mac for it's fast startup. It is a shame to have to wait unecessarily for it to connect to wifi before logging in. I kenw this was a problem with the system update and this confirms it. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to wait?

It has been a month now and waiting a minute always works for connecting to my airport extreme on boot. I was cleaning behind my desk and realized that the ethernet cable was still attached to the back of the iMac even though I had moved the airport upstairs. I disconnected it. I also opened network preferences. The wifi was moved a long time ago to the top for priority, but the inactive ethernet and firewire were still listed. I removed both the ethernet and firewire so the only connection listed is wifi. My computer has now found the internet on 4 consecutive boots without waiting. It appears that having the other two options disrupts the connection process on boot. I will continue checking over the next week and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

[SOLVED] NetworkManager does not connect to WiFi networks

I'm using `networkmanager` to connect WiFi.
I have selected WiFi Name through `networkmanager`.
Next, enter WiFi Password.
But the problem is, `networkmanager` asks me about password again and again and over again and does not connect to WiFi never !!!!
I'm sure WiFi password that I entered is correct.
