Why does my iphone lose its network connection

Have a new iphone and a wireless network at home. The phone connects to the network ok, but as I move around the house it loses its connection. When attempts are made to reconnect the iphone replies "incorrect password", despite the fact that the password was stored from the previous connection. Attempts to reenter the password do not help. So far the only thing that allows a reconnect is to completely reset the network settings on the iphone, after which it connects once but then disconnects again later. The issue may be related to the fact that there are two wireless routers in the house and the disconnections may be related to moving from the domain of one to another.

Hi Frayyan,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will give you some insight about how to optimize your settings to improve the battery life on your iPhone:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged.
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does the iPhone lose home network connection?

My new iPhone 5 keeps losing my home network connection. Any advice? I've tried resetting network settings, turning the phone off and on again and turning the router off and on again. Thanks.

I'm looking into that possibility.......have a cordless phone in the office, a PC, cell phones, etc. Will clear them out and recheck. The maddening thing is that the iBook is totally bulletproof even in that environment. Why would the iMac be having these issues, but not the iBook? Is Airport Extreme more robust, or that much better than Airport?
Even now, the iMac shows no network - yet I'm writing this on the iBook right next to it, and it's had no network interruption whatsoever.
Do you have any knowledge of those "error" notations from the syslog? Could they be pointing to anything else?
Thanks much.....

Why does Airport card lose AX network connection intermittently??

I'll be working, and then abruptly the Airport card in my iMac G4 loses the AX connection to the Apple network, and can't find any network. My iBook picks it up fine. Then, maybe within a half hour or so, it suddenly finds the AX Apple network again. All the while my iBook is fine. The only difference between these computers is that the iBook has an Airport Extreme card, and the iMac has an Airport card. And, I'm also in the same room as the AX station. iStumbler appears to show a loss of signal when this occurs, but that doesn't explain the iBook working fine.
I looked in the AP mgmt utility, and saw this:
"Deauthenticated with station (iMac mac address) (inactivity)."
And then:
"Deauthenticated with station (iMac mac address) (received invalid class-3 frame)."
What is the problem here??
Config: Cable Modem > Belkin F5d7230-4 router > ethernet to AX > wireless to computers

Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?

My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later. Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected. Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks. After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet.
What's going on, and what am I missing?

Hello jBookProAm,
If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

Why does my iphone lose signal since upgrading to ios7

Since I upgraded to ios7, my iphone 5 constantly loses signal. It does so just about every 10-15 minutes. I have tried reseting my network settings, I switch to airplane mode, I do a hard reset. And nothing works. Prior to upgrading I never had this problem, now its constant. I am going to try to get a new sim card, but since this only started when I upgraded (almost the exact moment), I dont see that fixing it. I have to try to resend almost every text message, and safari pages never load. I have even been trying for days to post this question, but finally gave up and used my computer. I would really appreciate any help

Perfect.
With a iPhone keyboard lag since installed iOS7,
thanks to pvonk who said :
"Settings>General>Reset>all settings"
and it's go on very well....

Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other ideas?

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

Why does my iphone keep losing wifi connection?

last week I upgraded from 3g to Iphone4.   I connected to my home wifi with no problems, but every time I leave the phone for a while, when I come back to it I find that it has dropped the wifi connection. When i try to reconnect, I have to either press the pairing button on the phone every time, or start from scratch and reenter the wep password
My old 3g does not have this problem at all and remains connected all the time.    I called Orange and all they did was send me a replacement Iphone but I am still having exactly the same problem.
As long as am using the phone the connection is fine.   But if I put the phone down and it goes in to "sleep" mode even for a few minutes, the connection drops.
Any ideas please as it's driving me nuts - I'm even thinking of ditching the phone and sticking with my trusty old reliable 3g!
thanks!

The backed up data in this regard for your 3G has nothing whatsoever to do with your 3G not having the same problem. Some of the data in the backup may be corrupt, etc.
What does you have tried resetting everything include?
Does this include resetting network settings on your iPhone 4 and/or include restoring your iPhone 4 as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
Do you connect your iPhone 4 to any other wi-fi network besides your own? If so, does the same occur with every wi-fi network you connect your iPhone 4 with?
In your original post, you said WEP password.
Have you checked the manufacturer's website for your wireless router to see if a firmware update is available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

Why does my iPhone 3G refuse to connect to Wi-fi?

My iPhone will not pick-up any wireless networks at all.Just E/3G. When I go into the settings it does the little loading circle thing but wont find any networks that I've been to. Can someone please help???

Have you tried:
Reset
Restart
Reset Network Settings
Restore as "new"
If none of those resolve the issue, that would tend to indicated the Wi-Fi chip has failed.

Why does my iPad lose the Internet connection ?

Why won't my iPad battery recharge? Sent this message before & would

I didn't do the most recent upgrade as I had problems with it when I did the previous one. I have the IPAD WI-FI 32GB . It seems to be charging ok . I did a Sync yesterday and now it won't connect to the Internet although it was working fine last evening and I didn't change any settings.
When I plug it in to my iMac, the iPhoto applicaiton opens and I have to open the iTunes application even though I have it set to open when I connect the iPad.
Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer. Thank you in advance.

Why does Firefox 8 lose its settings between sessions?

Version 8 does not hold its settings from one Windows session to another. I have to keep turning the menu bar back on and resizing the window (the default of the left half of the screen -- absolutely WORST place it could be -- keeps coming back!). Fix this or you're going to start losing users by the thousands to Chrome, which never has had these problems. As well, I click Submit Feedback button and nothing happens, the bookmarks toolbar disappears, and the tabs go up top. HORRIBLE!!!

Why does my compuer lose its cursor and/or loses sound and have to use mouse to get back?

I will be typing along and suddenly nothing shows on screen and have to use mouse to get back.
Also will be doing solitare or other game and lose sound and have to mouse to get things moving again.Is this a virus?
I updated my windows and nothing showed as a problem there.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
