Hey seems like maybe u can help my with my iPhone problem? My wifi switch on/off is not available suddenly, I didn’t even touch or change any setting. Then when I try to switch it on the column on wifi in the general setting, it looks like my iPhone doesn’t support or provide a wifi connection to connect it to any wifi. How come this happen? And how do I fix this? Thank youuu

FIXED = SOLUTION. My girfriend had the same problem for almost a week. Tried everything suggested on these pages and more.
I managed to FIX this by = ''Unsrewing the screw(s) on the Battery connector & disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes'' Then reconnect the battery, put the contact clip back in & screw the screw(s) back in, Powered it on, left the phone for 2 minutes to boot up fully then went in to settings and the Wi-Fi Network was there to connect to. Had a solid connection ever since.

I've had my iphone 4s since around the end of november and my wifi has worked perfectly fine, over the last week or so when at home the wireless loses connection, even though its still registering as being connected, its actually impossible to use anything, i find that it tends to lose connection when i switch between internet based apps, at the minute for me its mainly 'facebook' and 'zombie takeover'. i dont have skype installed and zombie take over is the most recent app ive downloaded. as for getting a new router, im not willing to fork out for apples o so obvious **** up.

My problem may be related to this discussion, but I haven't found a fix - after reading the string and spending a few hours with applecare. So help me if you can!


I bought a new iphone4s last Friday, came home and tried to link it to my wifi- netgear wndr3700v2 's wpa2 network. the iphone will not see that network, though my macbook pro and my wif's older macbook both are connected to the same network. the iphone does see the wep network, but that has no revealed password/passphrase and i have my smart tv's and bluray wifi connected to it through the push to connect (wps) function - which the iphone evidently does not support (though my Blackberry did). the only way i have found to connect to my wifi is by unsecuring the network that was set to wep (the one my smart tv's are using). I don't feel safe with having my iphone on an open wifi. If you have had same issue and found a fix or a better work around, let me know. thanks.
