Strange WiFi reception indications after upgrade to 3.0

After upgrading to 3.0 my WiFi will work wonderfully for maybe five or then minutes and then begin to lose the signal. Or, at least the strength indicator shows a loss of about half the strength. At the same time, the battery indicator will show about one eighth low and then show full while the WiFi signal strength goes low. This happened today several times in a row, at about ten minute intervals, while sitting on my living room sofa which is about 25 ft. and two interior walls from my wireless router. Before the upgrade, I could receive the signal without any variation for more than an hour.
If I am sitting in my den, about 15 ft. and one interior wall from the wireless router the signal strength stays at full power indication and the battery level indication remains normal.
This is very strange, has anyone else experienced the same problem?

A lot of us have. I fixed mine pretty fast but I can of stumbled onto the solution while trying a few more things. Given you seem to be having a battery issue as well, I'd work though the following steps:
1. Reset your iPod (that's for the battery part of this only)
2. Tap Settings > WiFi > the blue > next to your network name > tap Forget this Network
3. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
4. Turn off your router, wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
5. After your iPod has restarted, Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network and enter your network name, security settings, and your password.
That should return it to normal operation. If it does not, there are a few more tricks to try. Let us know what happens.

Wifi weird problem after upgrade on 4.1 (Iphone 3GS )

I have a strange wifi behaviour on my 3GS that appear just after the 4.1 upgrade
if i let the wifi connect overnight, it's not working anymore after some time
I see the networks around, i can connect, but no data goes thru
If i just reboot ( or respring sometime ) wifi work again ...
Is this because 4.1 is so buggy, or something else ?
dont want to loose hours to do a DFU restore for nothing
PS : As we pay so much for their stuff, if Apple could just work a little bit on the QUALITY of the code for iOS ? thx a lot

The IT group re-downloaded the compressor 4.1.1 app and it worked the second time around. Files sizes were exactly the same so I don't know what was up with the first attempt. Anyway, fixed!

Ipod touch 1G "no wifi" grayed icon after upgrading to 3.1.3

Hello there,
After upgrading my ipod touch to 3.1.3., the wifi icon gone gray and I have no chance to change any wifi settings. I've tried at at least 3 places with different routers where other devices (notebooks, PSP, DS), work fine, so I'm sure it's not an access point problem. Also I can't change any of the wifi settings. I've tried everything (clearing safari cache, history et all, reset network, reset ipod, restore ipod), and nothing seems to work.
The ipod is out of warranty and I wonder if there is some way to "downgrade" it to the previous version or any solution for this problem.
Thank you in advance

Restore your touch via iTunes. Select "Restore as new" when given the option.
The stuff you got on your PC screen was caused by a basic incompatibility between your browser and the Apple website. Update your browser.

Wifi packet loss after upgrading to 10.7.4

After upgrading all three macs (mb pro, mb air, imac) in the house to 10.7.4 they all experience wifi packet loss. I ping to the local router. I have connected to a multitude of wireless routers with similar result.
But here is strong evidence that is a the OS X software problem. I am running linux inside of vmware fusion. I have run the exact same ping commands simultaneously in (1) mac and (2) vmware linux. The linux ping experiences zero packet loss, not even a single packet. The mac at its best will lose 1% packets, but can increase beyond that.
We are suffering from slow internet in our corrent location as it is, and this has a noticable impact on our performance. I am a bit afraid to upgrade to Mountain Lion for fear it may be even worse.
Any thoughts?

Your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file is likely corrupt in your
(use the Finder > Go > Go To folder and paste & Go)
~/Library/Preferences
folder, Trash the flle you can (may be two of them, one is a lock file) and reboot.
Reset your system preferences again.

Z30 wifi range problem after upgrade to 10.3.1.1565

After upgrading on Z30 the OS from 10.2 to 10.3.1 I experience serious Wifi range problems. There is a room in our house where I had excellent wifi connection with 10.2 and now the Z30 does not find the router. Even the router SSID! If I go closer to the router, it connects (5-6 meters from the room where I tested). It is a quite new router, a Linksys EA6200 with the latest firmware. I rebooted the router. No result. I restarted Blackberry (switch on/off), no result. I deleted all wifi saved connection on phone and tried to reconnect. No result. I tried to make a soft reset (vol up/down buttons), no results. Dont understand, I made Over the Air (on wifi) OS update yesterday in the same room, same place. Now I dont see any router there altough the Android phone and the notebook gives 4 bar wifi there. Before OS Upgrade I made a full backup (everything) in the Blackberry Link, tried to restore to the earlier OS version, but the restore uploaded to the new OS the personal data and not the earlier OS System. How I could solve the Wifi problem or roll back to the earlier official version? I dont see possibility on phone. It's crazy to have a quite good business phone which is now unuseable for its original functions without normal wifi connectivity... I understand to advise hacking or restarting router, etc... but how about if I go to abroad? I cannot restart the router there... I need stable wifi or a stable operating system...

I have seen numerous posts on other forums about the degraded wifi performance on devices running 10.3.1.xxxx.
I definitely noticed a dropoff in signal strength when I went up to 10.3.1. I remedied it by putting in a better router, but I don't believe one should have to do that in order to maintain was was acceptable performance under a previous OS. 10.3.1 is supposed to be an upgrade after all.
I also notice a difference between Z10(STL100-1) and Z30(STA100-6) on 5GHz wifi : Z10 finds and connects with no problem, but Z30 does not find the network at all, even when right next to the router. I subsequently discovered that the router autoselects channel 149 on 5GHz, which the Z10 is happy with. For the Z30, I tried all other available 5GHz channels on the router in turn, and eventually found that Z30 will find and connect if the router is manually set to channel 48 only. A bit restrictive for a high-end device.
It has been postulated that the claimed improved battery life on 10.3.1 comes at the expense of compromised wifi performance. Could this be the case?
Hoping this issue soon finds itself in the "under investigation" box at BB.

3GS Iphone wifi not working after upgrade

I upgraded my 3GS iPhone to version 6.1.1
After upgrading the iPhone I noticed that wifi wasn't working from the typical areas of my house, so I looked for a fix on these Community Forums and elsewhere on the web. Nothing has worked. I reset the network settings and tried amny other proposed fixes. Then, I walked to within 10 feet of the AEBS, and noticed a weak WIFI signal. Bluetooth worked just fine by the way.
I then upgraded my Gen 4 Airport Extreme Base Station to the latest firmware "hoping" that my resolve the loss of WIFI on the iPhone. It didn't.
I am going to try a factory reset next.
Any other recommendations? May the impending iOS 6.1.2 will revive the WIFI on my 3GS? I can only hope at this point.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

@shldr2thewheel, you are correct, I accidently typed an extra ".1". The version is 6.1 (10B141). Thanks for the post-spellcheck.

Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

WiFi connection broke after upgrading to IOS 6.0

My WiFi connection stopped working after upgrading to IOS 6.0 on bothe iPhone 4 and iPad 3.
I reset the Network connection - no change.
I selected "Forget Network" and tried to rejoin - no luck.

You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- Restore from backup. See:

IPod Touch 2G - WiFi barely works after upgrading to OS 4

After upgrading the firmware on my iPod Touch 2G to iOS 4, I immediately lost all connectivity to WiFi. I have tried just about everything; resetting/restoring everything on the iPod, cycling the router, etc. None of this works. If I stand within a few feet of the router, I receive a weak signal.
I believe the problem lies within inconsistencies of hardware used in the iPod Touch 2G and iOS 4 being designed for slightly newer/updated hardware. This creates an incompatibility.
Any thoughts on how I can get my device functioning properly with WiFi. I'm just at a loss now.

My 2G touch with iOS 4.2.1 continues to operate perfectly on WiFi. The problem could be your router not quite being up to snuff for newer WiFi protocols but I won't rule out a touch problem either. What to do?
1. Reboot the router (unplug the A/C power for a few seconds)
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Log onto your network as if it were a new network - tap Setting > WiFi > Other and re-enter everything.
Those three steps should clear things up. However, if you still have problems, write back and give us more details about your network - router, encryption used, etc.

Wifi quit working after upgrade

Wifi Quit after upgrade - Will hook up after a long time but is very week...

I think you should ask a different apple genius, sometimes that can make a big difference. Go see the folks at your phone svs provider store. They are more genius than others - they deal with ?'s everyday all day.

Not able to switch on WiFi and Bluetooth after upgrading to Windows 10

I was using Windows 7 Home Basic preinstalled with the laptop since 2011. The laptop was working fine. After upgrading to Windows 10 the WiFi and Bluetooth is not working. Tried help from Microsoft remotely. According to them the drivers are not working and there is no updated drivers available for Windows 10 on HP website. The driver installed presently is "Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter".Please help and advise whether to stick with Windows 10 or to roll back to Windows 7 as I have an option to purchase a removable device to use WiFi and Bluetooth.I love the lightness of the new operating system. Please help!!!

If you have already reset your iPad the next would be to restore it agin. After that talk to Apple. Also see previous threads:

WIFI & Bluetooth unavailable after upgrading 2.0

Hi,
After upgrading to version 2.0.2 my IPhone has lost WIFI and Bluetooth. Mac addresses appears like 00:00:00:00:00:00 and the option in grey, saying "No Wi-FI" and Bluetooth unavailable.
I tried restoring to a previous version but not luck, looks like something becomes corrupt.
Is there any fix for that?
Thanks in advance.

Try this,
Reset Network Settings
Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
Or do a phone reset
Or return it to apple like this guy on http://gabriel.zeropeople.com/2008/08/15/iphone-wifibluetooth-problems/
Or the scary part

HT4623 wifi quit working after upgrade

I have paid good money for a product that after 1 1/2 years, it does not work. This issue was not caused by me, miss use, carelessness, or any abuse, it occurred after a software update. After upgrading to iOS7.1, a perfectly functioning iphone4s had an issue. The Wi Fi button is now grayed out, this means I can’t turn on or off the Wi-Fi. I have tried everything that was suggested and still it does not work including a full reset. I even took the iphone into an Apple store and was told, “Yes, this has been an issue, but it’s because your Wi-Fi was going bad anyway”. This Apple employee had never seen me before, has no idea how I use my iphone, how often I use the Wi-Fi, what I had done to correct the issue, how long had this issue been going on, so do I need to say more! This Apple Genius, who I will not name, suggested I get a new iphone!
But my first question was: If this is an issue seen before, why has a fix/update from Apple not yet been released or at least a notification of a fix/update is coming. His answer was, “again, your Wi-Fi was having issues, and it was going to go out anyway.” (Here was my thought… Maybe, withholding a releasing or notification of a fix/update could force customers into a new iphone. What a novel idea, if Apple uses this I want a piece of the action on all future software updates.)
My next question was: How did this Apple Genius know that my iphone (as well as other) had a bad Wi-Fi? Oh I got it, because he is an Apple Genius, he knew, “yes, this has been an issue, but it’s because you Wi-Fi was going bad anyway”. “Again, your Wi-Fi was having issues, and it was going to go out anyway.” So, if this is/was an Apple standard answer, it leads me into believe the software upgrade did cause the Wi-Fi issue. (Here was my thought… If an Apple Genius can predict that my Wi-Fi was going bad, maybe I should have this genius or all of them pick all the future Powerball numbers for me, I swear, I’ll share my winnings… if I win… and the Powerball numbers were picked by the Genius, and he still works at Apple.)
Here is what I want! I want my iphone fixed! I know I’m not the only person with this issue (see the quote above). If the iphone cannot be fixed due to the software upgrade, then allow the software to be downgraded to the previous version, which allowed my perfectly functioning iphone4s to work without any issues. (The only reason I see that not happening, is if, Apple no longer supports the previous software. Oh, Apple, tell me it’s not true!) The final and best solution as a consumer would be a full replacement of the iphone at no cost. Heck, I’ll even take a refurbished phone, as long as it works.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon,
