TS1398 The only problem I have is why would my iOS device (iPhone 4s) stop being compatible with my older third-party router after a software upgrade?

I think it's a driver issue not a hardware issue, I can use wifi at work just not at home...
I have an iPhone 4s and it seems to connect to the wifi where I work without any problems.  I cannot connect to my wifi at home even after turning off encryption, after looking around the discussion threads about what other people are experiencing I am convinced that it is a driver issue.  How can my iphone just stop working after an update? 
My girlfriend's ipad 3 has the same problem, I sure hope apple can fix this problem or this will be the last iPhone I ever buy.

Hello Brad,
I've stated that I've rebooted my router , disabled encryption and updated the firmware none of which have fixed the problem. 
Also, I've stated that my wifi works with my iPhone 4s when I'm at work, it doesn't work with my wifi at home so I know that it is a driver issue related to older routers.  My girlfriend's ipad 3 stopped working on our home wifi after the update as well. 
I can confirm that my wifi issue is with my home network not my work network.  I've tried changing encryption types, disabling encryption all together etc. 
You can only restore in DFU mode if you use iTunes to backup your iPhone which I don't since I back everything up to my iCloud.

I have seen WiFi problems regarding iOS 6 all over the Web. These were problems with the WiFi, but how many try WiFi other than their home WiFi. Your home WiFi is a problem. The fix for some users is DFU Mode Restore of iPhone. If you would like to try a DFU Mode Restore.
Here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding the home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds of holding home button. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode is sometimes difficult to get. So keep trying the steps until you get it. DFU mode is iTunes saying iPhone in Recovery Mode except screen is black, blank.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • TS3540 How to fix iTunes 11.0.4 (62) problem of won't connect or recognize iOS devices iPhones, iPads, iPod

    It appears that there is a flaw in the Apple iTunes 11.0.4 (62) installer related to mobile devices and the USB port. The below fixed the problem for me.
    The symptom was iTunes 11.0.4 (62) was not connecting to my son's iPodTouch 1st Generation. Many other iPad, iPods and iPhones are reporting having this problem on many different computers both Mac and Windows. >56,000 on Apple discussion forums.
    The iPodTouch was recognized by the computer and would charge but iTunes would not recognize the iPodTouch.
    All of our family's other iOS devices worked fine.
    The problem is not the computer, the cabel, the OS or the device.
    Apple's suggestions in various tech docs did not solve the problem in and of themselves. I had to go back down to the previous version to force the current version to reinstall properly:
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and reinstalling did not solve the problem.
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 made Will's iPodTouch connect fine but then there were other problems.
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 and deleting iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling 11.0.4 (62) solved all problems.
    To Reinstall iTunes: (from Apple docs)
    Quit iTunes
    Delete:
    /Applications/iTunes
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
    but do not delete com.apple.usbmuxd.plist
    Restart
    Reinstall iTunes version desired
    Open iTunes to test and make sure iOS devices connect

  • The only problem I have now is with streaming/video play. I see FF 9 is out. I'll wait to read comments before upgrading as I'm leary to make things worse.

    I have no other details.

    It's Extremely intermittent, especially on one of the live morning shows I watch. It's just absolutely awful. And I've changed the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false, made sure my plug-ins are up to date and someone even told me to find new plug-ins which I did and WMP and RealPlayer did the same thing. So, short of reverting back to FF 7.o or a version that works, (because I'm not sure how to do that) I guess I'll have to wait to see what FF 9.0 is like from some of the other users before updating to that. I just don't want to make it worse. I'm really frustrated with the morning show I'm unable to watch uninterrupted every few seconds.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.
