TS1398 Iphone 4s will not stay connected to wifi after update

I can see my network, it connects for a few seconds and then disconnects. This started after the update.  I have tried reseting the router, the phone..............everything 100X.
All my other devices work fine and other types of phones can connect to my network. It's a specific problem wth this phone.

Hello Danielle,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s.  I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

  • Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble

    I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?

  • IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC

    Hi,
    I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend.  Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule.  Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection.  Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep.  WhenI wake it up, it asks me again.  I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't.  I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer.  Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected.  Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network.  Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
    Thanks. 

    For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
    I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
    Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
    But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ...

  • My IPad 2 with 5.0 will not stay connected to WIFI

    Since I upgraded to 5.0 on my Ipad 2 I cannot stay connected for more than a minute or two and then it loses the signal and I have to completely shut down and power up again. This only works for a minute or so and then it tells me there is no signal. I am in Lima Peru and newer routers are not likely to be here for a year or two, if old routers are a problem. I have tried the Ipad on several routers, different hotspots and the result is the same.

    Tried all of the above. My wife's Ipad works where mine does not.  Did restore to factory settings, twice, and still drops Wifi. IPad is under warranty and Apple said to send it in for warranty replacement. Problem is I am in Lima Peru so that is a little tougher to exchange.  The "store" that sells Apple here is only a shadow of a real Apple Store and are of little use or value except to buy new things in boxes at higher prices and limited inventories.
    Thanks for your suggestions however!

  • Iphone 5 will not charge or turn on after updating to ios 8.1.2

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1.2 just the other day. My phone died last night at about 40% battery left. I have plugged it in for over 30 minutes and it will not charge, I just get a black screen. I have tried the hard reboot, and still nothing. I cannot even get it to go into recovery mode when plugged into my computer on itunes. My phone received a new battery under the battery replacement program less than three months ago. The battery was replaced by the apple store. When I go to support they want my serial number, but I cannot turn on the phone to get it plus they send me an email that I am suppose to open on my iPhone, but I cannot turn it on. Please help, I do not have the money to send it to apple.

    I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

  • IPhone 3G will not sync with Exchange 2003 after updating to 4.0.1

    I keep reading a lot of posts about users who updated to 4.0 not being able to get Exchange to sync and 4.0.1 was supposed to fix that however I just updated from 3.something to 4.0.1 and now my Exchange 2003 server email will not sync (kind of) and my Contacts are slowly disappearing.
    I tried to delete and re-enter the exchange account however after 5 hours I only have about a dozen emails out of the hundreds that should be there. Also the contacts that were there are now slowly disappearing.
    I saw somewhere that I should try to access www.myserver.com/oma and www.myserver.com/exchange to see if I can log in there. I am able to get into OMA without an issue however when I go to /Exchange I am able to login and get the left window pane to start (inbox, contact, notes, etc buttons), but no other pane has anything.
    I don't know if this is related, but I did notice that on some sites that use script for the menus I am no longer able to navigate the menus. They drop, but clicking a link in the menu does nothing.
    I have another 3G that is working fine with the 4.0.1 and all the BB and Windows Mobile and Droids are working fine.

    You know, yesterday I deleted the entire Exchange account, rebooted, added it -- nothing...  then I deleted it again, rebooted again, etc... after about the 3rd time of doing this and allowing the Internet Accounts to automatically discover the account, it started working again.
    You might want to give it the brute-force-angry-uninstall-and-reboot-multiple-times-while-shaking-angry-fists -and-cursing routine and see if that helps you!

  • TS1398 iPhone 5 won't stay connected to WiFi

    My phone sees the networks and connects but then it drops.   This started happening after the new iOS 7.1 installation.  Here's what I've done so far to try to correct the problem:
    reset all the network settings
    complete restore of the iPhone, twice. Once using iCloud once, not.
    Nothing seems to work.   Could this be a hardware issue?

  • Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?

    I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi...  it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!

    This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
    (There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
    Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
    I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
    My Airport card specs are:
      Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x86)
      Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
              PHY Mode:          802.11a
    The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
    After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
    These are the changes I made:
    Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
    Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
    Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
    Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
    My Mini now connects on:
    PHY Mode:          802.11g
    Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          54
    instead of previously
    PHY Mode:          802.11a
    Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate: 36
    This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
    The iMac is still connecting on
    PHY Mode:          802.11n
    Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          216
    and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
