Wifi keeps switching off

Hi
My WIFI connection to my I-Phone 4S keeps dropping when I'm at home & I don't understand why??
My partner has access to the same WIFI with the same handset (although different network) & the laptop picks up WIFI too
But for some reason, my I-Phone keeps dropping the signal & I'm using so much data it's a joke....
Any ideas will be appreciated
Cheers

Hey Bretf75,
Thanks for the question. I understand the Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone 4S drops unexpectedly. That definitely sounds frustrating. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
- Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
- Check for sources of potential interference.
- Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
- Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Wifi keeps switching off for no reason, home hub 5...

    Hello there,
    We've had a problem recently in that our wifi keeps on packing up for no reason. We are living in a new build so all the lines should be good, and when we first got our BT broadband installed on 21st May this problem didn't occur. However in the last week the internet suddenly stops without warning, with the light on the hub flashing orange  and then turning orange. Either leaving it for a while or restarting the hub a few times and we get reconnnected and the light turns blue. It is a problem that is becoming increasingly frustrating and tedious to have to deal with. 
    When connected connection is good: with ethernet download speed is about 30.5 mb, upload speed is 7.05. Using wireless this drops to around 10.5 download and 5 upload, which is acceptable for the area we are in, which isn't exactly famed for the best speeds. We have three computers, a printer and handheld devices connected, but not usually all at the same time. 
    We have had an engineer come round a couple of days ago, and he switched the master socket to a different room (?!) and suggested that this would resolve the problem, though I was skeptical. I was proven correct because the issue didn't resolve itself. I have no idea whether the problem is to do with the hub, the line, the socket or the exchange, though BT doesn't seem to be any the wiser either. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?
    I have done a quiet line test, and it seems fine. Ateady very quiet hum (was using cordless phone), with the occassional slight crackle but only noticeable when listening very hard. 
    Would like to point out that usually the broadband is more prone to giving up when downloading large quantities of data, such as downloading a film, music or a large game, and less so when web browsing. However this doesn't exactly make the situation any better. 
    Any suggestions anyone??

    can you go to hub manager then troubleshooting then helpdesk and post 1-12

  • HT2471 Wifi trouble- keeps switching off automatically.. Help

    Hi
    Currently using an imac late 2009 with updated OX lion 10.7.4- Having trouble with the wifi, it switches off automatically every 5 to 10 mins but doesn't prompt me for a password when I switch back on. Appreciate any help out there. thank you!

    Hey G,
    This is a common problem with wifi. The obvious answer is that your channel you have setup your WLAN on is experiencing noise from the surrounding devices (including other dodgy routers) and interferring with the signal.
    Try changing your channel number on your router to another channel, usually automatically set to 11. I had no end of problems exactly like this but as soon as I changed channels, not a single drop even after three months.

  • Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

    can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

      Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
      This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it.  One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod.  When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio.  Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio.  I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really?  This is freakin' new, Apple people!  Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

  • N9 keep switching off on its own

    my N9 does not power on it keeps switching off on its own....can anyone assist?

    So it isn't the sim and not the boot loop.  Have you tried charging using any source just to make sure that isn't the charger? Failing that you might have to consider a hard reset.

    in the lenovo wifi driver update link it says b4 u install the new update u should check for the following:
    Notes: If you use ThinkVantage Access Connections, the following software must be installed.

  • My Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.

    Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.
    The fan is free from dust. I reinstalled Windows
    There is a new Battery for 1 year
    If the laptop is off, the battery can be charged. The laptop is operating normally on battery.
    From the moment that the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
    When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with another AC adapter, the computer turns off.
    Could it be that the cable between the motherboard and the DC jack is causing the problem whether this is unlikely ?
    Anyone have an idea to help me with this problem ?

    Dr. Lamp,
    Shut down is not always at the same point. In the beginning this happened from time to time and than more frequently. If i start up the computer now with the AC adapter connected than he doesn't start up completely. He shuts down and reboot or blocked.
    To answer your question, I am able to enter the BIOS settings.
    I bought the Yannec battery here:
    I summarize the tests that I did together:
    Loading battery when computer is off = yes
    Running applications only with battery = yes
    With AC adapter connected = computer shut down and reboot
    Without battery, only with AC adapter connected = shut down and reboot
    With other AC adapter = shut down and reboot
    If it is a problem of the motherboard is it not possible that it can be repaired rather than replaced by a new one?
    Many thanks for your patience

  • After updating to ios5 my i phone and it keeps switching off

    I recently updated my Iphone 3gs to iOS5 and now my phone keeps switching itself off and on again,
    I like the new iOS so would like to keep it if anyone knows how I can sort this out?

    i was having some different issues after the upgrade - my phone wouldn't stay on the 3g network and I couldn't make/receive calls or sms or access the internet via 3G. I tried a regular recovery, which didn't work, but just did a DFU restore. apparently it's a different type of restore... anyway it worked so far.
    this is how you do it
    They probably used what is refered to as a DFU restore. To do this yourself you must plug the phone into the computer while on. Hold the sleep button for 3s, then hold both the home and the sleep button for 10s, then release the sleep button and hold only the home button untill the phone apears in itunes as a device in recovery mode. If done correctly the iPhone display will remain off once the device has connected. Proceed to restore.

  • Iphone 3gs ios 6.0.1 keeps switching off when trying to use cellular data

    Hi everybody
    bought an used iphone 3gs a few days ago, the guy gave it updated to ios 6.0.1. I noticed as i put the phone on cellular data it switches off. and when turned on it comes till the unloack screen, and as i try to unlock it switches off again.
    Read a few threads and removed sim put the charger on and started and it starts and works like an ipod with no issues. After a while if i put the sim card and if its on charge it will work perfect with no problems.
    As i remove it from charge works until the battery level comes to approx 60 % and then turns off.
    Then i must again put it on charge , not because the battery is low but to start the phone.
    i have no idea whats goig on, first t ime apple usr and such horrible experience, any ideas?
    P.S - read many threads saying toggling on /off for cellular data. I cant do it without sim as i am on 6.0.1 .
    Please help phones really not doing what its supposed to. just switches off anywhere in meetings or on the go when i need to make calls.
    Thanks

  • ICloud keeps switching off in Pages settings

    In the Pages settings on the iDevice I turn on iCloud. I go to Pages; come back to settings and see it switch off. I try to share from Pages to iCloud on the iDevice and it offers sharing to the iDisk, but not to iCloud. I can upload from Pages on the Mac to iWork, and I can upload a Pages document to iWork.com from the iDevice, but I can't get to iWork in iCloud. I'm not sure where in the mess of transferring the hang up is, but the one thing I cannot do is pull a document from iWork or iCloud onto my iDevice.
    Thanks.

    That to add to your confusion is another way of saving documents from iWork apps (on iOS devices).
    By opting to save an iWork document to iTunes, it makes it available in the panel in iTunes you have included an image of. This was actually the prescribed method for moving documents between iOS devices and OSX if one wasn't using iWork beta and before iCloud.
    Since my set up is working for me, let me try (by example) to describe how iCloud works:
    I work in commercial property, I have from time to time to prepare leases. I may start a lease on my mac, get so far, and do something else. At that point I will upload what I've done to iCloud.com, thereafter I can open it on either of my iPads and continue to work on it. If I work on it on one iPad, I can pick up the second iPad and continue to work where I left off.
    If I need to work on the document on my mac, I must then download it from iCloud.com before doing so, and if it isn't finished, I need to upload it again so my iPads see the most recent version, in order to keep working on it.
    Whilst doing all this, I will often save the document as I work on it on my iPads to iTunes (I treat this as a back up mechanism, should any of the iCloud syncing go wrong)
    Hopefully Apple are working on a way to eliminate the need to upload and download the document to/from OSX and the whole thing will become significantly more useful.
    Once a document is completed, I'll file it on my mac and remove it from iCloud.
    You may or may not see this a lot more clearly when it works properly for you, right now your problem is that iCloud.com doesn't recognise the iWork apps on your iOS devices. It seems to be a problem that doesn't yet have an answer we can all share with others, although I did have the problem myself and now don't as a result of the procedure I described previously.
    What I'd likme to do, is try to discover where your set up might be different to mine and if you did anything differently while following that procedure.
    Did you determine whether your iCloud ID is the same as the ID used to purchase the iOS iWork apps.
    What did you tell the iOS device device to do with your documents when you turned off iCloud for a particular app.
