WiFi does not stay connected after latest upgrade

I am having an issue with the WiFi connection on my Iphone 4 after the latest 4.3 upgrade.
It does not stay connected to the wifi. I have to go and manually connect to it.
Then after a couple of seconds it loses it again.
Why is this

"I'm not sure why yours is doing it but I would suggest your reboot your router and reset the iPhone network settings.
If you are hiding your SSID, do the last step which is tap Settings > WiFi > Other and completely re-enter your network name, security, and network password."
Been there, done that... Did ALL these steps, but that does not fix the problem... AFTER inputting the SSID manually, selecting security, and then the password, iPhone STILL says it cannot connect...

Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?

I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi... it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!

This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
(There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
My Airport card specs are:
Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
        PHY Mode:          802.11a
The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
These are the changes I made:
Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
My Mini now connects on:
PHY Mode:          802.11g
Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate:          54
instead of previously
PHY Mode:          802.11a
Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate: 36
This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
The iMac is still connecting on
PHY Mode:          802.11n
Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
Transmit Rate:          216
and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

58L7300U - Wifi does not stay connected

Comcast cable using a Xfinity branded ARRIS TG862 Wireless SOHO Router.
Two Toshiba 58L7300U TVs mounted on walls in residence.
LAN is setup and stable. The Router has been properly configured using WPA2 AES encryption. All computers (Apple, Microsoft Surface, Dell and Toshiba) access WiFi with no problems. All Smart Phones access WiFi with no problem.
The two Toshiba 58L7300U - they have a problem. Even PC Magazine has noted the issue in their test lab.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2428099,00.asp
"The 50L7300U supports Wi-Fi networking, but the set was unable to stay connected to any of our wireless access points here in the labs. It saw each access point and would connect for a brief moment, but each time it would lose the connection. The wired LAN connection worked perfectly, however."
We've been through every possible setup. I was on the phone with Toshiba for 2 hours and they finally capitulated there was a problem.
Both TVs were purchased just prior to Chistmas 2013. They both have software version 7.2.67.31.01.1 (5/22/14).
If we get the TV to access WiFi I can use PING -T to ping the TV IP address. Yet the TV would say it can't get a connection. It is on the LAN. It has a TCP/IP stack and it can been seen from the POV of the Router and can be seen by another computer on the LAN.
One TV could get access, for a while. It could access Pandora and YouTube content. Then it LOST the ability out of the blue. Othertimes the TV would see the SSID and from the Router POV I would enable WPS and then have the TV do a "scan". Then it it would say it can't find an Wireless Access Point. I have done setups via; manual, assisted and use WPS.
All I can say is that there is a BUG in the software of the 58L7300U in accessing a Wireless Fidelity networks and for a $1,000 per TV that's atrocious.
Personally, I'd hard wire the units but the owner doesn't want that.
The owner spent $2K, and wants the product to properly access WiFi.

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: work (apparently has problems), 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. 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.

HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi. I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one. I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money. Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

I already pay apple for my iphone data
You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
Why are there so many bad reviews
Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network. I have to input my password each time I leave my house. My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade. Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network? Thanks.

I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

Wifi won't stay connected after switching phone off and back on

This does not seem to be the apparently common problem of either dropping wi-fi signal OR losing wi-fi after the phone sleeps.
I have a 3GS. My wi-fi works fine all day while I'm around the house even with multiple sleep events. However, when I switch off my phone at night and then turn it back on again the next morning, the phone stays on 3G. If I go to the wi-fi settings, it shoes wi-fi is "on" and I can select my network and it will join it right away. It just doesn't rejoin automatically.
I am not certain about this, but I think this problem may have only started when I recently switched on the "ask to join networks" setting. I have tried turning this off but still the problem remains.
My wife's 3GS and my son's 4 both stay connected after a switch off and back on, and we are all using the same network.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be most appreciative. With three of us now sharing the cell data plan we are getting very close to the limit each month and want to maximize wi-fi usage.
Thanks.

IPhone 4 does not stay connected to internet over 3G+

I have an iPhone 4 on the telus network running the latest version of the os 4.3.3. My phone will not stay connected to the Internet most of the time. It looses connection and won't reconnect until I turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. It also looses connection if I have wifi on and it detects a network but choose not to connect to it. I have restored my phone and it fixed the problem for half a day before it started again. I only have a couple months warranty left, is this covered do you think?

Wifi is not auto connect after resume from sleep

I keep my Mac Book Pro up-to-date with software updates.
I recently update to OS X 10.8.3 (12D78).
Since then when I open my laptop after closing it and put it to sleep the wifi connection does not re-connect automatically.
I have to click on the wifi sign near the clock and select the network to connect to.
How can I make it connect automatically like it used to?

Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always - in no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:

Iphone 5 wifi does not maintain connection or automatically connect

I phone 5 does not always maintain connection and does not automatically connect. I have selected the wifi system and entered password for such but each time I have to reenter password.

"Ask to join networks" is off. I also tried turning off the phone and restarting it. My wife's iPhone 5 is doing the same thing. Could it have something to do with my router?

Apple tv won't stay connected after yosemite upgrade

After upgrading to yosemite non of my apple tvs (3 of) will stay connected.
I have upgraded everything as of the 1/12/14 and still no joy.
I have a good wifi connection so its not that!
I have try connecting by playing through the computer to the apple tv and that also drops out!
I have restarted everything and that didn't help!
I have even setup the apple tv as new to see if that would help, nothing!
I have installed the latest upgrade for yosemite which is supposed to be for connection improvement, which doesn't work either as my mouse still keeps cutting out.
I have even tried changing computers and going through my macbook pro ( also running the latest yosemite) and that doesn't work!
Does any body have any other ideas on what i could try?
Please help
Dave

Not sure what instructions you are referring to, regardless wifi is susceptible to interference. If your neighbour's network is using the same channel or if yours is not encrypted that will of course cause issues, which is a result of the network not the Apple TV. There are also many other factors that can cause interference.
It is working just fine for me and most users, and if you took it to another network you would see similar results. If you wish to resolve then proper troubleshooting needs to occur

Wifi will not stay connected on iPad Air 1

I Got a new iPad air as a gift from kids, Dec. 2013 to replace my iPad 1. this new iPad has never been able to stay connected to wifi...if I step away from using it for more than 20 min. I have to go into settings to reconnect. Everyday, all day long this has been an issue! For more than a year now ATT has been to my home and on the phone trying to resolve issues...new router/modems....run new wires....etc. I have documentation form office of the president for these issues For the past year. 3 days ago an ATT trouble support person concluded it was an Apple issue and told me to call them. I have been two days of troubleshooting over the phone with Apple Support and nothing could be fixed, they said never heard of the issue.....but I see hundreds of this issue online.....so they set up for me to have it replaced with a new one of the same....took it in last night 1/30/2015, since I have all documentation for the past year there would be no charge, but I lose my engraved iPad. Ok so get it home, set it up, restore and all those things.....working fine. Get up the next morning and guess what?? Safari cannot get a connection....mail cannot update....games won't updat....ALL of the exact same issues. This ipad has a 90 day warranty......what is my solution to this ongoing very nerve wracking problem? all my other wireless products stay connected all the time...printer, laptops, iPhone 5s....other brands of phones....so far no problem with iPhone 6, but that phone is not here full time to check daily. I don't think I can take to much more of this run around....what is the solution please?
Yes, everything has been tried.....reboot every product involved...reset....everything. What is Apples solution for this issue? Yes my iPad is updated. Thanks.

I Was wondering if the iPad 2 had the same issues....could be a combo of things of ATT and apple. what I don't get is there are hundreds of posts everywhere about this issue and not one single way to fix it. We won't update any of our other apple products until I have a solution for mine...just in case it is related to the newer versions. LLike I was trying to tell Apple.....I have done every trouble solution with them and ATT that they have told me to and with them on the phone and still does the same thing. The techs have been to our house lots of times this past year....they can verify what is happening, they just can't figure out why.

Wifi Does not Re-Connect Lumia 610

I have had my new Lumia 610 for a week and the phone will not reconnect to my home Wifi after sleeping or going out of range and then back in range without turning my wireless router off/on. I've tried everything in the discussion forums from turning off Data connection, toggling Wifi off/on and a complete phone reset (annoying) and not ever touching the internet sharing switch. This should be a basic function of the phone to connect to a known Wifi network when in range, whether data connection is turned on or off. I have turned off the screen saver to make this a bit more manageable (It's too impractical to keep the charger plugged in all the time) but my Windows 7 laptop, macbook pro, and multiple Iphones all connect with no problems time after time. DOES NOKIA HAVE A FIX FOR THIS? These Wifi discussion forums seem to back date quite a few months. I think I will exchange for Android platform phone.
In the Wifi section, the phone can see the Wifi and displays secure underneath, but it will not re-connect!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You have an old model Netgear which does not have Genie. However, the router log should still give you some important information. Next time your phone wont connect, log into the router and check the log for listings with your phones mac address. It should show the phone requesting access and then the router either allowing or denying access and reason why not. If the log does not give this info then you can still intercept the communication by installing a software called Wireshark.
Have you tried your phone with another modem? I have 3 Netgear, 2 D-Link, 2 Linksys, 2 Huawei, 21 Belkin and 1 TP Link router. Believe you me, they all have their quirks and have problems connecting with certain devices. Haven't found one that works all the time with everything. From my experience, if you have to restart the router to reconnect then it is probably the routers fault and vice versa if you have to restart the phone to restablish connection.

Finally found the problem was the Ipod itself. After a soft reset everything worked again.
