Hi xdesign,
As someone who uses Wi-Fi on my iPhone almost constantly I know I would be distressed if I could not use it. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
If you are having an issue with Wi-Fi being grayed out on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S. I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

I suggest you describe the problem in more detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received. Telling us you've tried ""all the methods mentioned in the forums" does not help.

IPhone 5c wifi problems

I have an iPhone 5c and lately my wifi will not work properly it says it's connected but it does not load anything and it disconnects I've reset my router my network settings everything any advice?

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Do not reset it. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Iphone 3g - WiFi problem, upgrade possibility?

Hi guys
I recently updated my 3g to iOS4 and 4.0.1. After sometime of usage my wi-fi become really weak and by the time I lost completely signal of that. I tried everything from software side, by downgrading resetting and all of this tricks without any luck. My wifi icon inside settings is not yet gray but I expect it to become after some time. I lost completely usage of the phone because accessing network was on of the main use of the phone.
I went to genius bar in order to get it fixed but surprisingly I found out that they refused to change anything. They said that the only thing that they repair is the screen otherwise they change the phone for 269CHF. That's completely crazy because I asked also for my silent switch to be changed and they refused!!!!!
Then I though about changing the antenna on my own, so I bought a spare part from the internet which didn't improve the situation at all. I guess my wifi-bluetooth chip is broken and I am not willing to replace it..
I don't know how to complain on that. I am a mac developer since 5 years and really addicted to their products but now it's they first time that I hate this situation and how apple is handling this. I know that are posts of iphone 3g users (more than 400 replies) complaining about this and in parallel apple seems not to care at all for this.. I already submitted feedback for this.
So since my option is only to change my phone does anyone knows that instead of paying some money to get a new 3g is there any option available to exchange it with some additional cost with an 3gs or 4? I don't want to get a 3g and have the same problems after some days...!!!!!
And Apple DO SOMETHING!!!!!
Thanks

IF the problem is hardware there is a fix http://www.iphonetiquicia.com/repair-iphone-3g-wifi-oven/
Micro-fissures cause the overheating you're talking about. So before you pay for your full replacement you may as well try the fix. I did it on mine and it worked. Even runs cooler now because the reflow fixed the high resistance caused by the micro-fissures in the solder joints.

Apple should respond to iphone overheat wifi problem!

Now my iphone is having a problem to find any wifi,
searching all around the forum i found out that that is cause by the iphone overheat problem,
after try i noticed it is true that when in a cool environment( they even put iphone in the fridge) my iphone can sometimes find the wifi and can be connected, but it won't last long. After a while the temperature increase, the wifi problem come back again.
Not only me but many people experiencing the same wifi problem like me~ Apple should show some respond to this serious problem~!

I found that I seem to lose my AT&T connection when the iPhone overheats somewhat. Yesterday I couldn't even find any service, but turned off and everything worked well today. I think if I periodically turn the phone off and start over again, the overheating probably diminishes.

Iphone 6 wifi problems

II have a week old iPhone 6 and have had nothing but wifi problems since I got it.
FIrst off off I got my 6 from Best Buy one week ago, and they could not transfer my icloud items and settings to my new phone. So I was sent home to do this myself. After a few hours I finally got my iCloud back up to go onto my new iPhone.
Major wifi problems. I'm about ready to take it back, since I do have 14'days to return this nightmare.
I Have a iPhone 5 , a iPod 5, ipad 2, and my husband has a iPhone 5S. None have problems with wifi except my brand new iphone 6.
I opened my wifi settings and can see it going on and off at a drop of a hat.
Dont tell me I have to update my router because I already tried this.
Another Major Issue is that annoying pop up
"Cellular Data is turned off for your photos"
you can turn on cellular data for this app in settings
I know this appears because I lose my wifi at that moment while in the middle of something. But it as well says this for
Settings, Mail ......
IF something's not fixed soon I'm dropping Apple products. I Love Apple But right
now I'm so displeased!

Dsheedy1,
Here are the steps that I would use to troubleshoot wifi problems:
1.) Reset the wifi router at home
2.) Make sure your wifi router is not using a generic name that might be doubling with your neighbor's wifi router.
3.) Instead of naming a router NETGEAR68, name it "Dsheedy1_wifi" or some other name that is not likely to be used by a neighbor's wifi router.
4.) What is the exact nature of wifi problems?
      a.) not seeing the wifi router's name in the list of routers?
      b.) not being able to sign in or get authenticated?
      c.) getting connected to router but getting dropped at random after a while?
      d.) loosing connection if farther away from router?
Steps 1-3 deals with 4a, identifying your router from other routers in your neighborhood.
If it's 4b (authentication), temporarily set your router's encryption to nothing, see if you can get connected w/o in open access mode. Then switch back to security mode.
If it's 4c or 4d, it could be that your the iphone6's wifi chip and antenna is more sensitive. To rule out interference to the antenna, do not use a phone case that has a metallic back plate which coveres up the top most and bottom most portions of the 6.
Finally, compare wifi connectivity with routers in other locations. If it can get connected to wifi in the Apple Store, or shopping mall, or restaurants, but not for your home wifi router, then it may be a matter of the wifi on the 6 not working well with your home wifi router.
I do not have a 6 yet (still on contract for my 5). After I got my 5 in late 2012, my home wifi was working ok. I did not get the wifi sensing or login problems that had happened to many posters on this forum. However, when I started to use VoIP apps like Skype to make phone calls my wifi started to falter. Since replacing a wifi router is a cheaper solution for me, I bought a new router that was on sale for $80 and had no more wifi stability problems.
My suggestion to you at this point would be to pick up an Apple wifi router. Now if your 6 can't connect to Apple's own router there would be no doubt as to what is problem (the 6). You may have gotten one with quality problem with its wifi circuitry. If I remember correctly Apple has a 30 day return policy on products such as a wifi router. So if it doesn't work out for you, it can be returned.
Best of luck to you!

IOS 7.0.3 caused my iPhone 4s wifi problem.

My wifi mac is still on, so it looks like cooling off won't work. I can't believe I considered putting my iphone into the freezer to solve a wifi problem! Any updates on this issue?

No, you didn't ask a question. You posted a rant. The word "why" does not appear anywhere in your original post. For that matter, there isn't even a question mark in your original post.
As for why chey can't help you, that's because Apple, like many international companies, operates as separate legal entities in different countries. There are financial and regulatory issues with moving stock from country to country (including service parts).
The models of the iPhone sold in the US are not available in other countries, and since Apple does not repair iPhones, they only replace them, there is no way for Apple in Europe to service your US iPhone, just as a European iPhone can not be serviced in the US.

Iphone 4s wifi problems and frequent crashes post 7.1 update

Hello!
I have an iphone 4s for about a year now.
After updating to iOS 7.1, I experienced frequent crashes and intermittent wifi connection inability (wifi button greyed out).
I have reset my phone 2-3 times to factory settings but the problem is still there.
Frequent crashes and intermittent wifi connectibility. (Mostly absent)
The phone was working perfectly until I upgraded to iOS 7.1.
Is there a 4s wifi patch or a new iOS update (7.1.1??) coming out??
Please let me know, this is very frustrating!
I am a doctor and sometimes I am on call. Having an unreliable phone (I sometimes find it frozen or turned off), is not an option for me.
Thank you very much

IPhone 4s Wifi Problem - now on my second device and still not working..help

I got my first iPhone 4s less than 3 weeks ago the wifi worked fine for the first week and connected fine without a problem. I then began to have problems where it would appear with the server cannot be found etc. Yet i had full signal on the wifi and my 3g works fine, i was quite fustrated reset my phone, and also my wireless I had no luck! I contacted my provider and they tried a few things I could join up to my wireless it would work and then would stop working after 5 or 10 minutes, what they couldn't understand was my partners 3GS worked perfect and so did a friends iPhone 4 when they used the connection, previously I had an 3GS myself and it worked perfect with the wireless. My provider decided to send out me a replacement 4S I received this earlier on today, the Internet worked fine on my wifi and then the same thing has started happening again, I have reset the phone a few times and works okay for 5 or 10 minutes (like now as I am typing this) but then again comes up with the same message with cannot connect to the server, even though I have full bar on the wifi signal and sat next to it.
I am stuck at a dead end and unsure on what to do I use my phone for everything and I find it frustrating that I cannot use my Internet on the phone properly and I am already on my second handset.
I was wondering whether anybody could help me out with this as I just don't know what to do
Any answers/advice would be much help and greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

I have the exact same phone as yours but the thing is, connecting to wifi and 3G and surfing the net with my iphone is fine. when it comes to updating and downloading apps. it took years to do it!

IPhone 3G wifi problem... please help

Hey guys, just got an iphone 3G. Now, I had a 2nd gen ipod touch until recently and the wifi never had a problem in my house. Just got an iphone however, and it seems every 2 out of 3 times I start using the wifi on it, after a minute or two it will just lose the whole network. Even my imac will lose all wifi. It's the like the modem hates my iphone for some reason. The only thing to get it back up, is resetting the modem every time which is a pain. any ideas??
thanks

tried it mate, now the thing is, my wifi button is not grayed but it can not find the wifi signal ! sometimes it can, and then it looses the signal ! so in my opinion, there should be some solution or patch for it coz if it has a hardware issue then it stays as grayed but now it's not ! so yea waiting to have some solution for it. Thanks though really appreciated !

IPhone 6 WiFi problem when using TP-Link TL-WA830RE access point

I have a problem with the WiFi connection for my new iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.1. When I connect to the access point, TP-Link TL-WA830RE, the connection fails every few minutes.
However when I connect to the providers router, there is no problem at all.
Other devices in my home work perfect with the TP-Link access point??? My Ipad, my wives iPhone and iPad etc...
For now the workaround is OK for me but I am curious if other people have experienced the same problem.

I was having the same issue. Try changing the WPA Encryption of your modem router to TKIP+AES. I hope that myt help.

Iphone 4s wifi problems disconnecting and then connecting also doesn't load.

This is a Iphone 4s. So 2 days ago, my wifi kept greying out and every time it connects again to the internet it doesn't work and it also is very slow and then suddenly it disconnects, i have tried this and it is the same for every wifi connection. I have tried the trouble shooting steps, restored my iphone, restarted it, turned it on and off and it still doesnt help. I have recently read articles about people having the same problem as me because they updated there i os, but i dont know if i have the same problem or what. I have called up apple today and they said that my phone has expried from warrenty, so i need to try the trouble shooting steps but they won't work. Also, when I click on my wifi it says "unable to connect". Anyone suggest things i should do? Thnak you

Having this same issue. Went to the Apple store and called support numerous times ... Apple will not admit there is a problem and instead convienantly found that a water damage sensor in the earplug jack was tripped. Even though they took it apart and found no water damage sensors tripped internally, they basically told me my warranty was void. Apple is avoiding the issue with the WIFI on the iPhone 4s ..... sorry
