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

I purchased the Iphone 5s with Verizon and the wifi works at home and at work but it will constantly drop it and go to cell data which of course eats up my cell data quota. I have also noticed that the cell signal strength is much lower than it used to be. I have turned off cell data and am testing if that keeps the wifi signal or drops it. Sounds like a bug in the software. Hope apple addresses it sooner rather than later.

Ok, I'm home, I have made my SSID visible, I have made the 7.02 update.

It still disconnects !!

How can we let Apple know that there is a problem with the wifi ?!

I have read articles, people complain about stupid matters, like the fonts or the background...those are not problems, THIS IS A PROBLEM !!!

And it manifests on the most expensive products (I have the iPad 4 cellular), the iPhone 4S works just fine.

I would like to provide an update on my situation with the iPhone 5. I reset all of my settings, changed the name on my iPhone to remove the apostrophe, did a hard reset, installed the bug fix (didn't fix the wifi), did another hard reset out of sheer desperation. Now I am mailing my pretty much useless phone to Apple so they can fix it. My phone worked very well before the software update. I regret updating so much and would tell everyone I know not to upgrade.

How is that helpful in any way, TJBUSMC1973? Why are you in this forum? I wish I hadn't upgraded, but I did. Didn't help that the media was covering nothing but how intiutive and pretty the new OS is. You have to dig for any of the negative stuff about it. Why is that? Maybe the cell service providers are happy no one can get wifi now so that they can rake in the dough due to overage charges.
