PLEASE HELP!!!
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
It may be a poor Wi-Fi connection and the iPhone feels that the quality of the internet service will be better using the celluar service.
Some previous discussions claim that turning Bluetooth off helps the problem.
It is not poor wifi i have 3 bars and im like 5ft from my wireless router, however it may be the bluetooth, ill try turning it off and see if it helps. Thanks.
Nope, bluetooth was/is not the problem.
What, nobody else? I have the same exactly problem, please HELP!!!
same exact problem here! Did any one solve the problem?
disconnect your Mobile network ... you 3G ... will work!
I have been having such problems too. Wifi seemed to disconnect frequently at random moments. I researched a lot & I think I found the solution (atleast mine) . Try changing the bandwidth of your router to 20Hz. Apple product DONT support 40Hz !! If you use 40Hz or 20/40Hz random disconnection will occur or it may not even connect. Change that setting in router to 20Hz ONLY & it will be all okay. If you change it to 20/40Hz router will switch between those & iPhone will disconnect at random. Try it, I hope it works you
i came to know that discconecting from WiFi to 3G is a built-in feature in IOS 5 that enable battery save! your phone will keep listings to incoming connections from 3G (if it is enabled) and will turn to WiFi once needed, or when you unlock the screen manually to use your phone!
However, i did find a fix (at least works for me at the moment)
Connect your iPhone to your Mac/PC and launch iTunes (if it is not already launched, make sure you run latest iTunes version), once your phone is visible in the left hand side column, click on it, then in the right window you will see tabs on top (summary, info, apps, tones, etc....), click on summary and scroll to the bottom of the page until you reach options box, tick the box that says (Sync with this iPhone over wifi) and then hit apply in the bottom right corner (check any warranging message if they show up).
now you can disconnect your iPhone and close/quit iTunes.
Now your phone will have WiFi on all the time, and will be automatically discovered in iTunes once you launch it (if you want)
This is working for me. and i hope it will help you

Having same issue of phone dropping wifi for no reason with 3 different iPhones. 3Gs, 4 and 4s. Turning off 3G seems like a silly option since it's a phone, and doesn't make any sense. If that's really the issue then that's a defect in the iOS. Router is running perfect and runs all other devices without disconnecting.
iPhone 4s wifi keeps disconnecting..?
