Weak 3gs wifi signal after upgrade to ios6

Anyone experienced the same thing after upgrading their 3gs to ios6?
I noticed that wi-fi signal became weaker.
I am on the same spot inside the house and the 3gs cannot detect my connection.

I have the same issue since I upgraded to iOS 6. My 3GS (end of 2009) has extremely weak WiFi signal from areas I used to get very strong signal. I now need to be within 12 inches of my home WiFi access point for the phone to pickup the signal. And the connection drops as soon as I am getting more than 12 inches away.
Same behavior from our WiFi at work -- I can no longer connect on the corporate WiFi from my office space!!
I also went to the Apple store in San Jose, and the phone was not even able to pickup the Apple WiFi signal from the middle of the shop!!! This very same phone was working flawlessly on 5.1.1 before the iOS 6.0 upgrade. I tried all the tricks people said to no available. Nothing works. My phone is useless now because of Apple!! Isn't this a trick to force people changing to newer phone?? Now I am using too much from my 3G plan and it will cost me moneys because of this..
Apple starts to look like a Lemon to me..

Weak Wifi signal after upgrading Iphone to 4.1

I had a perfectly working Wifi home connection on a new iPhone 4 running 4.01 and 4.02.
After upgrading to 4.1 yesterday, the wifi has gone bad: the connection strength has dropped - at least- 10 fold. I have to stand next to the router to get connected. Before I had excellent connection at long distances.
Nothing has changed to the router, and I still have excellent wifi connectivity with my MacBook, iPad, and another iPhone.
Seems that the upgrade to 4.1 somehow broke the wifi connectivity.
Help!
S.

I am experiencing hte same thing. Except I started with 4.1 and I am getting very weak signal compared to my buddies iPhone which is also running 4.1. Which is weird .. I guess I will call in tommorow any ideas ??

My iPad2(Wifi-16Gb) unable to connect to home wifi network after upgraded to iOS6. The said network is a remembered network and never face this connection issue before iOS6.

Forget and reconnect the netwrok doean't solve the problem.
Even Network Reset recommended in others iPad user in the forum can't help as well.
Please advice. Thanks.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Issues with wifi connection after upgrading to iOS6.

Does anybody know of an fix that actually works to fix a phone not connecting to wifi with iOS6? I have tried I think every suggestion people have listed on here and on the apple forums and nothing works.
Here is what I've tried so far:
Resetting the network setting on my phone - didn't work
Tried turning off the Cellular Data suggestion - didn't work
I have done the hard reset on my phone and restored it - didn't work
I have tried changing the security settings on my router - didn't work
I bought a new router because my previous one was a few years old - didn't solve my issue. I know it's not my router, I have other devices in my home that connect to the router as they should.
I would really appreciate some help with this to get my wifi working again. I'm also having the same issue like others that since the iOS upgrade my phone also seems to be using data at about double the rate it used to. In 9 days I've used over 1GB of my 2GB plan and that is ridiculous, I'm only using my phone for email which I don't get any large attachments and some random surfing the internet. It never used this much data before when I was somewhere where I couldn't connect to wifi.
Is Apple working on fixing this or is it an Verizion issue?

I went to an Apple Store today to see if they could help me out at all with this issue. I had found out that my phone will connect to wifi at work and amazingly at the Apple Store, just not at my house. Here is what they told me after I had run down all the options of what I had tried to change with them and nothing worked. Came to the conclusion that it is more than likely a software issue and after doing some research at the store Apple is aware of the problem they told me. Apple is working on correcting the issue and is beta testing an updated iOS at the moment and just need to be patient for them to release it. The only immediate fix they gave me as an option was to purchase an Apple router for the time being and that should cure the connection problem. Since I had just purchased a new router a couple weeks ago I didn't feel like buying another one. So I hope this will help some people that have been searching for an answer to this problem like I have and have gotten no help from anywhere...

Fix for my iPhone 3Gs WiFi problems after upgrade to iOS 4

Posting incase this helps. I upgraded to iOS 4 on my 3Gs while away from home and came home to find that I couldn't get a reliable connection to my home WiFi which had been rock solid when I left two weeks ago.
My network consistes of a telco supplied router & ADSL box connected by LAN to an Airport Extreme which then connects wirelessly to an Airport Time Machine in another room (actually a steel lined safe room so I have to be sure that the door is open). The Time Machine is set to act as a range extender as is an Airpot Express N I have connected to a hifi.
Well after rebooting everything and scratching my head I took a look at the wireless settings on the base Airport Extreme. *It was set to 802.11n only!* I, therefore, have no idea how my iPhone was able to connect to this up to now. *I've set it now to 802.11n (b/g compatible)* and the iPhone once again connects and re-connects without any trouble at all.
I know the 3Gs is not capable of 802.11n but I can assure you that for the last few months I haven't changed that router so it was certainly working in that 802.11n only mode on that apple router.

Hey, that's a great tip for others who are having issues to check out. Thanks for posting your findings!

im not able to activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6, saying server not available try later. im not able to make my phone work, not able to bring serial # im in guatemala what i can do?

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

Hi, after upgrading to ios6 on my ipad2 I no longer able to view video from my ip camera, appreciate any suggestion

Hi, after upgrading to ios6 I'm no longer able to view video on my iPad2, occasionally it's ok after turning on and off wifi, also having problems signing in to my yahoo emails.these problem happens on my iPhone4s too. Appreciate any suggestions

Any luck so far?

WIFI Quit after upgrade to firmware 3.1.

My WIFI quit after upgrading from 2.1.1 to 3.1. It worked twice since the upgrade for a period of an hour or so. I have tried to reset the network, All settings, serveral reinstallation of the firmware. I also Tried to manually enter in my WIFI information, with no success. I tried everything. I can see wifi information when I go into the general settings>About> Wi-Fi Adress 00:1c:b3:48:ce..... My warrenty is no longer valid. Any suggestions???

I've now posted these changes at two other WiFi threads. Try these Settings changes:
The Setting changes are:
Fetch New Data > Push: Off
Fetch settings are set to Manual & in Advanced all is set to Manual.
My iPhone also lost WiFi but with the changes above it now connects though it takes a bit longer to find the signal. No longer have Push but WiFi is more important, to me anyway. Another iPhone user had success with the above changes.
Good luck.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

Do we have any workaround for increasing the signal strength in my TV?. Before upgarding the firmware it was working perfectly allright. If we dont have a solution for this please dont upgrade your TV firmware.
