Strange disappearance of WiFi abilitiy for iPhone 3GS?

Over the last few weeks my wifi capability has seriously decreased.
I use the latest BT Home Hub and ALL other wifi devices are working.
It is clear that the problem is range-related as when I sit next to the hub, the wifi works well; however, when i get about 10< feet away the wifi becomes weaker and eventually ceases to work. At this point, NO wifi options are available (not BFon or anything).
I'm on Virgin and the problem is recurrent with different peoples' wifi but with my phone.
The message shown when out of range is ' Could not find the network "**** '***" '
I was on a really old iOS but i have since updated in order to solve the problem but the recent iOS hasn't changed anything. I have also tried resetting network settings and all that jazz.
Any help or advice to solve or identify the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
It sounds like your have already tried a few of these step, but I would still recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

    Check out the video above for a lot good info. The ringtone must be less than 35 seconds.

  • What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

    What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

    The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

    What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

    Use "tap to focus" feature for the iPhone. Just tap and hold the area on the screen that you want focused. Since the 3GS is not as a good camera taker as newer iPhones, be sure to hold the phone very still. That should do the trick, just a little patience, and physical integrity

    In a nutshell, you can't get it on the 3GS, must have iOS 7 or later.
    I highly recommend getting a 4S or newer phone.

  • Does the apple care  for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

    does the apple care + for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

    No.  Terms of the warranty call that "abuse".
    You can hope, and try:
    Turn it off, leave it off
    Put it in a pile of "dessicant packs" (shipping packs found in hard disk boxes), possibly in a plastic bag (NOT rice -- that has rice-dust which gets into the unit)
    Maybe try turning it on again in about 4-5 days
    But this is really a desperation move, and I would not do it myself (although others say they have tried it).
    Most likely you are paying for either a repair or a new unit.
