No wifi on 3G 4.0.1

I upgraded my 3G from 3.2.1 to 4.0.1 this afternoon and now can not connect to wifi, otherwise it seems ok. Hopefully Apple will fix this problem soon as my trouble does not seem unique: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=969161

Any suggestions out there?

iPhone 3G, iOS 4

In Settings, General, Rest, choose to reset networks. Then reboot the phone (Home and Sleep until the Apple logo appears). It often works

Since 4.0 update on my 3G, there is no working wifi. Forget these ridiculous solutions posted here. I cannot connect to any of my different, independent networks at any of my houses, places of work, or café hot spots. I have tweaked, played with the phone and even restored the phone. NOTHING WORKS.

APPLE - You clearly have known about this for some time as this has been posted on the net early summer. Why have you not fixed this??? Wifi on a smart phone is a major selling point and the reason many people bought the iPhone. You are getting stuck in the Business Bermuda Triangle!

For all those that are reading this string.... I was on the phone w/ apple for a while, and went to the store 3 times. Finally they replaced my iphone 3g with one that did not have 4.0 on it. Since, then I have declined each time I am prompted to upgrade the OS. 4.0 killed my wifi, dropped calls, slowed everything down, froze the phone, etc etc etc. I just hope I don't accidently download it again.

I have same problem. After update to iOS 4.0 my Wifi worked sometimes, sometimes not. Now i have no Wi-Fi anymore...it cannot find any networks


It's been reported elsewhere that putting your iPhone in the freezer will temporarily restore the WiFi. Alas, it disappears again once the phone warms up. This is indicative of a hardware failure, and could well have been caused by overheating due to bug in the iOSlow software.

It's rather simple to make sure you do not download iOS4 again to your iPhone.

The next time you are prompted to upgrade to it, check the box "Do not ask me again" and click No.

I promise you that you will never be prompted to download it again thru iTunes.

By the way, I went to my local Apple store, too, and they replaced it for me as well, but they did it the first time with no hassles. The phone works great again.
