Wi-fi issues with new 3.1.3 update

Just updated to the new FW 3.1.3 and now my iPhone 3G wont connect to my wi-fi. It see's it but when I select it, after a few seconds I get a error: "Unable to join the network."
I reset my router and still nothing. MBP and PS3 can get on just fine.
Anybody else having issues?

Greetings,

Everything is working correctly on our iPhones, after the 3.1.3 update. No issues of any kind.

Cheers,
M.

I'm completely sure that this is a bug of firmware 3.1.3 and not a hardware issue.

Hi,

Iphone is new (1 week old) update the firmware tot 3.1.3 right away.
My wifi connection works ok UNTIL I turn on MAC ADDRESS filtering on my router. The address in my router and in the info on the phone are the same so there should not be any problem ... but there is.
Any further idea's?

It didn't work for me: still the same: Mac Address filtering is not possible.

wifi worked continuously perfectly for MONTHS with 3.1.2! something in this latest update was crap.

I never used 3.1.2, started wit 3.1.3 in my new phone.
Can you disable Mac Address filtering in your router?
This the ony way I can get wifi working.

Thanks to those who suggested restarting the router. In my case, it was indeed the DHCP server dying at some point. My problem has been solved!

Happened to me when my battery went flat.
I had to re enter the password of my router into my router, then enter the password into my phone and it linked.

I was referring to the conventional contention ratio in comparision to users on standard phone lines in order to keep things simple, rather then getting over-technical in the thread ;o)

I think i found solution for my problem after upgrade to 3.1.3.
It was encryption mode.
On my Access point with WPA-PSK iphone make connection to the wi-fi but cannot connect to web (the strange thing it's that it's possible to access to local device like AP or network printer)
So i configure it to WEP and now everything is OK.

I did not encounter that. WPA2 only: ok.

Another test i done it was to turning on the mac filtering on the AP, but there was no way to let the iphone work.

Same here: MAC ADDRESS filtering is death for the Iphone.

I hope that will be an update soon... WEP it's not a really secure encription, it can be hacked in 5 min!

Isure hope MAC ADDRESS filtering will work ok, that is my primary defense.
