No Wifi after iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1 updates

In general, if following the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim, does not solve the problem then, unfortunately, it is likely that a hardware problem has developed.

For what it's worth I have not had any WiFi problems using either iOS 5 or 5.0.1 on my iPod Touch 3rd generation. From this it's unlikely that there is anything in iOS 5 that is directly affecting your WiFi.

The last part of the troubleshooting document states:

If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on or off after attempting these steps, contact Apple or your wireless carrier for additional assistance.

You could give that a try.

I'm having the same problem after the iOS 5.0.1 update with wifi reception. I have an iphone4 and had it since it came out in June, 2010; my wife too. We never had a problem with wifi and are using a netgear 3700 which provided good reception up to 150 feet from the base. After the update, the phones only are able to get a wifi signal within 8 feet from the router. Oddly, I'm typing this on my iPad that was updated too and it gets the wifi from router as before. So the problem is just with the iPhones. I've done all the steps and the signal on the iPhones just doesn't work. Scheduled an appointment with support but not expecting much.

Frankly, between the battery issues and the wifi, I'd much rather have the battery.... At least I could just plug the phone in and charge the battery. Hope they come out with another update fast. I also read on another post that this not limited to non-apple routers as people with airport units have the same issues.

I just updated to 5.0.1 on my ipad2. Now, it will not connect to my home wireless router (AT&T). Oddly, it will connect to my android phone and tether just fine. All our other computers still connect fine to the home wifi. I reset the network connections on the iPad wi no improvement so far.

Problem fixed. Reset router as well.

таже проблема, после обновления через провод от iTunes iOS 5.0.1 нету WiFi (серый цвет кнопки) не активируется , 2 раза ставил updates , нету результата, до этого на 4 всё работало, советы от JimHdk не решили проблемы всё плохо. :-( sorry for my Russian

in can insolved bugs in iOS 5 please help!!!!,

thanks a lot

The solution to get WLan back: Shutdown by 5 sec Power-Button. Therafter press and hold Home and Power-Button until the apple logo has been displayed --> reset device.

Therafter your config is gone but WL is working again.

greetings rikeebytes

try out Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings

thereafter shutdown (hold power button 5 sec)

and restart

I hope this helps but my iPad was okay after soft-reset (both buttons until apple logo was gone).

Do you have the latest router firmware?

Does your router has WMM, if so, is it ON or selected?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple care with the same exact issues. My home router is an Airport Extreme and they tried to tell me that I have hardware issues. My Ipod Touch 3G never ever had a problem until the ios 5 and 5.0.1 update. Now my wifi connectivity, if I am lucky enough to get a signal is slower than a 56 K modem.

I have done all the steps suggested in this thread and nothing has helped.

Apple will not acknowledge the issue.... there are too many of us with these issues for Apple not to acknowledge it.

I hope that this is remedied soon.... my iPod touch has always been more than just an iPod.... no email, now news browsing... no anything..

PLEASE HELP APPLE!!! I invested my money in Apple so I don't have these PC-like problems.

😠 PLEASE HELP APPLE!!! I invested my money in Apple so I don't have these PC-like problems.

I have an iPod Touch also, and after updating to iOS 5, I can no longer connect to the Internet.

I called Apple and we went through various attempted fixes, but none of these worked.

Finally, they suggested that I try it from a different wifi connection (I have mine at home).

I did this, and it worked. So I narrowed it down to my current Internet provider (Charter) and their wifi modem router. I have a rep from Charter coming over tomorrow, but it appears that the modem router needs to be upgraded or replaced to support the latest Apple software.

Bob I hope it works and please post if it does. I had no problems with wifi until the iOS 5.0.1 update with my iPhones and they pick up other wifi after. I went through resetting router and iPhones and all suggested steps by AppleCare but can't pick up my wifi with router. I have the latest upgrade for router. I also updated my iPad to iOS 5.0.1 at same time as iPhones. The iPad, Mac mini and iMac all get the router but the iPhones won't pick it up unless in sitting within 8 feet. For what it's worth, I'm using same router at office and picks up great so I don't know what to do. Both routers set up same with same firmware. I had iPhones (4) for 16 months and no probs but now can't get them to hold signal at router.

Apple please help!! I will buy a new router if I need to but given that wifi issues are not limited to any brand and no problems for so many of us until this upgrade, it doesn't seem to be a router issue. Please help us!!
