WiFi disconnected after lock screen (iOS 6)

I work in a place with no cellular reception, so I completely rely on WiFi to receive message, and calling.

Everything was good until updated to iOS 6. The WiFi always disconnected after lock screen. It means that I can't rely on any notification through WiFi now, and since I don't have signal, basically I'm completely isolated from the world.

I know this was an issue befor iOS 4, and since iOS 4, Apply decided to keep WiFi connected even when it's locked. I don't know why iOS 6 went back to the old issue again.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6

Sorry , in a previous post I put a solution that finally did not worked. 😟


But now I think I found the solution, as you'll seee below.

At work, my phone (iphone5 with ios7) was keeping wifi on when lock screen. At home the opposite. So the conclusion was, logically, that I had a problem with my router (Dlink 605L). After 2 days of googling, I fonud this post:

So I changed my router's name from "dlink" to other name (no matter which kynd of name) and the problem is solved now!!

Hello there.. i had the same problem and i thought my iphone was broken. once i googled, i found out that many iphone users are facing the same prob. i tried everything posted here but none of them worked. However, I found a way.. and it worked on my iphone 5. maybe you could try this.


Go to setting --> Wi-Fi --> Choose your network


once u r connected to your selected wifi network, there will be an ℹ symbol next to it.. click on that symbol. under HTTP proxy, click Auto.


hope this helps.
