Why doesn't my iPhone 5,2 (iOS8) want to connect to 2,4 ghz wifi networks anymore?

Only when I'm next to the wifi router I can connect to a 2,4 ghz network. When I move 1 or 2 meters, the connection just drops out. With 5 ghz network there's no problem at all. How can I figure out if this is a software or hardware problem., and what is a possible solution? My iPhone turned 2 years old recently, so I guess I don't have to count on any warranty or other support?

Hi,
MY network at home was originally  set up as a 2.4 ghz network, it worked fine until a week ago. By changing it I noticed my wifi on my iPhone was working again. The problem is however at work for example it's probably also 2.4 ghz. Because I cant connect, only when standing nearby the router. That's why I'm wondering how I can figure this out, is it software, hardware or something else. Tried resetting and restarting. But none of it seemed to solve the problem.

    What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
    Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

    There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
    AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
    The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
    +If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+

    From the Swype website:
    Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
    Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

  • Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to 100%?

    Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to a full 100% when charing over night?

    OK sort of an old thread now but this apparently is a common issue. Restore wont help. I have researched it for the past week (did several months ago too and gave up) but I now have somewhat of a solution to this phenomena. For whatever reason mine seems to stay at 100% most of the night than around 7:00am it would drop to 97% or so within a few minutes. This sorta stopped when iOS 5.1.1 came out. Now it stays at 100% until I unplug it then it drops. What I was doing was each morning when wake up, I unplug then plug back in while I was getting ready for the day and it would go back to 100%. So for the fix. What I have discovered over the past week worked 100% of the time. When go to bed I turn off the phone with the slider. Then plug in charger and let the phone come alive again by itself. But I do not log it in. Just let it sit at the lock screen. Now every morning its at 100% and stays that way for more than an hour (If not used). So it is being fully charged and remaining that way. iPhone will quick charge to 100% by meter but in reality it still needs longer to fully charge. Anyway this process has solved the waking up to less than 100% while still being connected to the charger.

    why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
    Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

    Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

    I assume you are running ios 8.x.  It's a bug.
    Wait for a fix from apple.   ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work.  OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

  • Having difficulty connecting to 'The Cloud' public WiFi network (UK) with iPhone 5?

    Is anyone else having difficulty connecting to 'The Cloud' public WiFi network in the UK with iPhone 5? (It's the free WiFi network for Caffe Nero, Pizza Express, Phones 4U,  and Ambassador Theatre Group amongst others. It's run by BSkyB and is also available to Sky broadband customers)
    WiFi works fine everywhere else (so it's not an iOS 6 problem, and I am running 6.0.2) but attempting to connect to "_TheCloud" gets instant 'Unable to connect to network' message. Going to Settings>WiFi>_TheCloud reveals that all the fields (IP Address, Subnet Mask etc) are blank.
    It used to work fine on my 3GS, and also works on a colleague's 4S. However both my and my boss's iPhone 5's get the 'Unable to connect..." message.
    Anyone know how to solve this problem? Or has anyone else even had this problem? There seems to be little reporting of it online.
    I've tried emailing The Cloud, but have yet to receive a response.

    I found out why there was a problem with The Cloud network I was trying to connect to: The Cloud's equipment at the venue wasn't able to cope with newer devices.This has now been upgraded, and my iPhone 5 connects fine.
    Have you tried connecting at different Cloud venues? I discovered that it was a venue problem when I successfully connected to a local Pizza Express's Cloud.

    hi, my iphone 4s is saying im not connected to the internet, my wifi is on and ive tried switching it off and on and nothing, still cant connect. help! it was working perfectly fine earlier today.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    My iphone 5 don't want to connect with itunes, what can I do... I have an itune reedem card with a balance $15.05 but I can buy anything

    It seems as though you are describing two different things, unless you are trying to say that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on through the phone. If that is correct, suggest you try and do a search, the question has been asked a great deal and answers can be found. Maybe even try and describe the error message you are seeing when trying to connect.

  • HT5887 Why doesn't the iPhone 4S have airdrop?

    I would like to know why my iPhone 4S does not have airdrop and airplay

    Airdrop needs a special Wifi chip to create an AdHoc network. The 4S does not have it. That's why. So I guess I know what i'm talking about.
    Progress in the sense that hardware becomes obsolete and it is not backwards compatible. That has been the story in the electronics world ever since Edison invented the gramophone in 1877.

  • HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

    I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
    Appreciatively,
    Donna

    I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.
