My iPhone 5 connects to wifi networks and remembers them, but receives absolutely zero data through the network. LTE and 3G no problem... Off to the repair shop (after 3 hours of ownership...) or any ideas??
iPhone 5, iOS 6
But what about when you font have access to router settings? If unwanted a phone I could only use at home, of get a landline...
Finally took my phone back and convinced the store to give me a swap out. Came home, all worked 100% so my conclusion is that the issue was hardware related.
Same thing with me. My replaced iphone 5 works perfectly. I am just upset that it took five tries over 8 months to get a replacement.
I did factory reset and everything works now. Also had bluetooth connection issue and that also is resolved.
I had this problem too with my iPhone 5. Restore didn't work so I went to Apple Store and got refurbished one and now I'm happy with my wifi connection.
You got lucky. I am on my third iPhone 5 and I have yet to get a good one.
How do you know what chip your iPhone has?

I have solved my problem changing the security setting the router to WEP instead to WPA, no problems in the last 3 days ...... for now.
They tried the reset-to no avail.
I'm curious if one of the reasons they went to a plastic body on the 5C is that the metal body was interfering with the antenna.
Not in the least. If anything, the metal body improved reception.
So far I haven't had WiFi issues since upgrading to OS7. It may be too early to tell but I managed to stay connected longer than I have before. Maybe the update will fix this issue for good.
