Q: iPhone 5 wifi issues

OTA now working.

Got mine updated.  So far it's working great (speedtests are flying) -- time will tell if it doesn't drop the wifi and still shows it as connected.

Same here.   First impression is WOW!

Oh I hope this fix lasts. Cnet said to download through itunes11. OTA could give error. Anyone do it OTA with success?

OTA works fine here.   On my second phone now with no issues.

Nice, thanks.

Speed tests (testmy.net & Traffic Monitor iOS App) are still showing slow speeds but download a podcast is vastly improved.

My iTunes claims that 6.0.1 is the latest update.  Why the *&^%$ can't I see this update?  What is wrong with Apple these days?  Nothing works.  Period.

Might be a rolling update. That's what happened with iOS 6.0.1. Not all of our devices were  able to update at the same time.

The update is for ip5 or mini only. If you have a ip5 try OTA.

This update is for iPhone 5 and iPad Mini's.  Sorry

So unless they're going to address it in 6.1 also, this is only a half-solution (assuming it "holds") as we're having issues with an iPhone 4S and a 4th Gen iPod Touch as well.

BTW - what is everyone using to test speeds? I don't think the Speedtest.net app is reliable at all since on my home network it consistently shows 50Mbps and that's just not possible in my area. The Speedtest.net website on my iMac only shows 22Mbps.

This is probably a stupid question but does downloading via OTA eat up your data?  I assume so but I'm afraid to take the chance.

It will if you're unable to connect via Wi-Fi and download it that way. To make sure you don't use any data, turn of cellular data in general settings. Otherwise, yes - it will eat up your data.

You need wifi to do OTA.
