IOS 7 wifi issue

Downloaded iOS 7 last night on my 4S. It will not stay connected to home WiFi. iPad and MacBook are fine.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

You would think with all the posts in here that people would deduce that its not their router or anything other than the stupid iOS 7 update. My WIFI worked flawlessly before iOS 7 and after intermittently then I got so annoyed I did the "Forget This Network" and the "Reset Network Settings" and now the iPhone 5 won't connect at all to my WIFI. I'm on the phone with Apple Support now after talking briefly with the Verizon Tech and now doing a hard reset (Factory Reset & Restore) of the phone to see if that solves the problem.............


Update: FAIL!!, Turns out phone has to be replaced due to the update....

Having the same issue. Wifi signal strong before the update, now i only pick it up if im standing right next to my router. same goes for my office wifi. As an aside, im now at only one bar (i mean dot) on my cell service as well everywhere i go. Im not bringing up something new on the topic, just pointing out that the update has messed with my signals all around.

Ive tried soft reset and network reset. Not willing to do a total reset as im crossing my fingers that apple will come up with a fix for this.

I have an iPhone 5. I updated to the new iOS7 and was unable to connect to my wifi at home. I reset my router and my network settings Settings>General>Reset>Network Settings while my router was turned off then I rebooted my phone. I had to perform this several times for it to finally work. Now that I am at work, my phone does not pick up any other wifi signals--neither my work wifi nor my coffee shop wifi. This is very frustrating due to cellular data limitations. I tried disabling my cellular data but it is still unable to successfully find any other wifi networks whatsoever. I am afraid to reset my network settings again because at least I am able to access wifi at home. I do not believe it is a router problem. My Samsung Galaxy tablet is connected to my work wifi as I type this.

Huh. Similar problems here with a 4S, 5 & iPad. All started after iOS7 updates.


Devices stay connected for a random length of time, 10 minutes, 30, a hour, then won't connect. If nothing is done, they often start connecting again at some point on their own. If reset, that seems to get the connect problem fixed right away. At times the devices seem to knock my other wifi devices offline, including a mac air, and roku boxes.


I've already visited with Comcast and they said things look good with the Internet connection. Nonetheless I went and swapped out my cable modem for the latest. I was thinking about replacing my router, but it's never given me anything except fantastic performance.


Verizon cell. Comcast ISP. Router is an ASUS Dark Knight.
