wifi drops out since ios 7

I just tried this a couple of days ago but I've not dropped connection since... Previously I the connection would hardly stay up.

Set your router addy in the DNS entry (ex. 192.168.1.1). If you allow the phone to do it automatically it will not select that. I'm still monitoring my iPhone's connectivity but I've held a good connection since this change.

This problem seems to occut mainly when the wifi signal is weak. Two months after my first post no reply or fix from Apple. I don't think owners of iPads and iPhones should try to find workarounds, I still think Apple should fix what was working before.

having same problem. Iphone 5 keeps losing WIFI signal. This resulted in a large mobile phone bill as the download went through my mobile carrier not my home WIFI. I have now had to turn of cellular when trying to download on home internet. Last two mac book tracker pads went haywire quickly after purchase, resorted to mouse only control and now this. I am being forced to move on from buying Mac products by the products themselves

A few weeks later and my connection has been steady. Not sure if it's a fix action but I would suggest users try adding the router address in the DNS entry field to clear the problem.

I saw this fix on another post and can attest that it works. I suffered from dropped connections and forgotten passwords, on both an Ipad1 and Ipad2, on both a Netgear and a TPlink router. Solution - Always use the Other option to manually enter network name, security type and password.

I am having the same problem. I updated my iPhone 4S software to iOS 7.0.4 and have had some strange things happen to my Wi-Fi. Firstly my Wi-Fi connected successfully to my home router but kept dropping out ever few seconds and then gone completed when I'm next to the router standing still. So I restored the iPhone (once with a backup restore and once a factory restore). I still have the same issue, but now with the factory restore I'm unable to connect to my router altogether (tried both automatically and manually). And no it's not the router because I have about 6 devices (all different manufacturers) connected successfully to the router.

Why hasn't Apple resolved this issue? This thread has been going on since September 2013.

Also, is anyone else experiencing frozen screens where trying to select a Wi-Fi networks?

Since rebooting my router always solved the problem I got a new router and have not expereienced the problem of disconnects with our iPhones and iPads since I set it up on January 3rd.

Well give it some time. I did the same thing and after about 2 months I started having the same problems discussed here. First it was everything getting knocked off, how it is only ios devices.

What is super cute, my ipad stopped misbehaving about 2 weeks, although 2 ipad 3 devices still have the problem.

I recently moved from Android and Windows to iOS and OSX.

XBMC on my PC streamed from the network without any problems; TuneIn Radio on my smartphone likewise.

With both my iPad and my Mac Mini, I had problems:

TuneIn Radio on the iPad would randomly disconnect or buffer every minute or two. XBMC on the Mac wouldn't ever stream more than a few seconds of 720p video from my MyBook Live via wi-fi before buffering.

On ethernet, everything was fine.

I checked the network and found a lot of my neighbours have very similar SSIDs (BTHubX-XXXX). I was still using the factory password and default security (WPA2).

Either OSX Mavericks and iOS7 dislikes similar SSIDs OR (perhaps more likely) they don't play nicely with WPA2 security.

So I made 3 small changes:

• SSID changed to a unique name
• Security changed from WPA2 to WPA
• Password changed

Absolutely no stutters, buffers or disconnects on both my Mac Mini and iPad.

Hope this fixes your problem.

I dropped my Nokia because wifi on Iphone was so much better...now after IOS7 on the 5 the wifi is the worst annoing **** in ****. The wifi comes in and out by random, even the annoing button to put on the wifi on and off is out of work sometimes,

I need to make a hard reset everytime I want to send a sms and the mail sends out just sometimes when the wifiis by luck connected.

I think the product that are the most userfriendly in all terms of standard cables, not restricted access to programs and content, freedom to choose not only itunes...is going to win

This problem is very, very annoying because whenever I play Boom Beach, the connection drops and I loose all my troops 😠

Try changing your wifi channel of your router. It may be due to the interference of other wifi signals.
