Phone no longer working on all wifi networks

I can't say this is a ios4 issue, but in the last few days my phone has stopped working with my home wireless network, but works over the office network. My wireless router is a Netgear Rangemaster. Other devices like ipads and macbook are working fine on the home network and the iphone used to be perfect as well, before and after upgrading to ios4.
I have tried re-booting the phone and sometimes when it powers up it displays the wifi signal strength icon, but as soon as I actually go to the network for something (like using the Stocks app for example) the wifi icon disappears and it's replaced by the little circle.
I have tried re-entering the WEP code etc and deleting and reinstating the network on the phone, but none of that solves this problem. I updated to 4.0.1 yesterday hoping it would be the answer, but it isn't.
Any ideas?

Make sure your phone is actually picking up your wifi signal at work and not using the 3G internet.
Try these Apple trouble shooting guides:
Trouble shooting wifi netwroks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Unable to use wifi http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
And if those lead you to an Apple repair tech, you have a hardware problem. If you have the cojones, you can try to repair the hardware yourself like I did http://www.iphonetiquicia.com/repair-iphone-3g-wifi-oven/
I had the cojones to give it a shot and it saved my iPhone. WiFi is now perfectly stable and it no longer runs hot. By the way, that's another indicator, if your iPhone is running hot it could be due to higher resistance in the PCB due to micro-fissures in the solder joints. Once I reflowed my phone it fixed the solder cracks (micro-fissures) and it ran cool like a brand new phone.

I updated the IOS and my phone no longer works, it just displays the Apple logo and eventually dies. Any suggestions?

I updated my IOS and now my phone no longer works. All I get is the Apple logobuntil the battery dies. Any suggestions?

Charge the battery for several hours. Then reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If you then see the USB cable and an iTunes display, follow the direction and plug your iPhone into iTunes.

It works perfectly fine in all wifi networks except for one

Hi everybody!
I have a black macbook from 2007. It works perfectly fine in all wifi networks except for one. It´s a new network, a much faster one they say, that has been installed where I work. It works perfectly fine in my home wifi network and in every other that I have tried to date. It´s just this one.
Might it be that this new, faster wifi freezes the laptop? any experts that can shed some light?

Do you have a case on it?
If so, take it off.
If not, probably an issue with the camera itself so get the iPad replaced.

My phone is not working without a Wifi connection.

I had to get a new cell phone because my speaker phone no longer works. Luckily my phone was still under warranty. Now my phone does not connect wirelessly unless I have a wifi connection. I never had to have a wifi connection in the past to receive and send email, connect to the internet, etc.. How do I fix this problem?

That surprises you?

Are you trying to say you cannot connect via your carrier's cell network? You did remember to put the SIM in?

My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

No longer working at all

I've a HTC M8 and have been using Skype on it fine for months. Then my Windows laptop did an update from Skype. Since then my phone no longer works using Skype. It just crashes when a call connects. No one can hear me and no video is sent. Has someone messed up over at Skype??

IPad 2 push notifications don't work on home wifi network

I have a new iPad 2 and I'm trying to use imo.im for instant messaging. however, in most cases, I do not get push notifications for new messages at all, and when they do appear, they are delayed by several minutes. I installed the push test app and am getting the same results. Usually, it will work for a couple minutes if I turn off the wifi and re-enable it on the iPad, but then it stops working again.
I have changed the dns servers on both the ipad and my router to use google's servers, but that still doesn't fix it. Push notifications do seem to work on other wifi networks, so it seems like it's something with my router, but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks!

I'd like to add one more data point. I tried the exact same tests on my iPhone 4, but did not get the exact same results. First of all, all push notifications work fine on my iPhone using 3G. When I connected to my home wifi network where I experience the problem with my iPad, push notifications worked, but were slightly delayed compared to the 3G connection.
So it seems like the problem is on the iPad when it's connected to this specific network. Also, after using it more, the push notifications seem to come and go randomly, so it's hard to predict when they will stop working.

I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate. Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.

It downloaded all my contacts, photo's with no problem. I called the number they gave me from my old phone and then turned it off. I then put the sim card in and charged the phone. I followed all the setup steps and no I cannot send any text or make any phone calls. I get a message that they cannot authenticate my phone to dial #8899 but get the same message.

Hello Notahappycamper1962
Let's get that S5 up and running! I want you to love the S5! Is the old device powered off? What zip code are you in?
I look forward to hearing from you and getting this addressed.

I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on. It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
Power down (unplug) your wireless router
Restart your iPhone
Plug in your router
Re-join that network
I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled

If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

No. an unlocked iPhone will only work on GSM networks. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile. Any of the small, regional carriers that use GSM are actually MVNO's that piggyback on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks. You will have issues with some features using those carriers, most notably MMS messaging and cellular data.
If you are going to want to use Verizon, then buy a Verizon phone.

It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
Thanks

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Try rebooting it and connect. Make sure you're connected directly to a USB port using the Apple USB cable.
