Q: iPhone 5 wifi issues

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

    IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING SLOW WIFI SPEEDS:

     

    I found a video on youtube that fixes it. It has nothing to do with DNS. It is posted on http://binarytoad.com on the TECH page. It is explained and a workaround is shown.

    Another user discovered the simultaneous download "workaround" depicted in the youtube video. The discussion's over at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4820670. I'd say everyone has the slow download problem, but doesn't know it, because it only affects performance to sites with a larger latency (ping).

    It´s not a Router problem. It´s a APPLE PROBLEM. Imagine if ALL OF THE WORLD need to change their WIFI ROUTER. It´s seems a BAD APPLE on the Street. APPLe MUST deploy any IOS UPDATE to solve that problem. IF It´s not a IOS PROBLEM so, CHANGE IT ALL.

     

    This is a BIG REAL PROBLEM and APPLE is giving **** for that. So disapointed about it.

    My another theory :

    My iPhone is GSM +CDMA it means he working on difference frequention LTE from GSM.  Is possible that made confussion behind networks and wifi signals.

    Anyone with wifi issues and only GSM model?????

    That is what happened with me when I went in for the weak signal. It is my replacement IP5 that suddenly refused to pick up home wifi. I've reset, tried powering off, attempted to disable cell data but its as if in airplane mode bc no wifi. It already had LTE disabled for signal purposes in order for the phone not to get "confused", a quote directly from AT&T. I've never had a brand new apple device AND replacement that I had to constantly force to work as it should!! I'll keep watching posts for a fix, and make another appt with Apple. This phone has taken SO much time on the phone and in the store. This forum has been most productive troubleshooting since I've gotten it. Thanks everyone.

    CKFROMSG &amp; buxnaapple - DYNJ is a troll.  He's been a nuisance here for a long time. His phone, if he even has one, has no problems. Ignore him. Please do not feed the trolls.

    @Sk8Dreams Tnx man :)

    Do you all have GSM +CDMA or somebody have only GSM with this problem.  It may be trouble with these type of iPhone because working with many frequentions then GSM models. I was reading something about that on the net. Its another theory or just another one insinuattion

    Buxnaapple - From what I've read here, I don't think that matters. 

     

    Quick tip regarding other users: if someone seems snarky or claims to know the answer but isn't telling, take a look at their level (below the user's avatar at the left). Level 1 with zero points means that user has never been credited with helping anyone.  Plenty of people with no points can be helpful, but if they are clearly not trying, think "troll".

    Good point Sk8dreams. Aside from that also look if they have actively posted credible suggestions, like ME since day one on this thread, i can assure everyone im not a troll .

     

    However , i can tell you all, there probably isnt any more work-arounds to try, we may have a jackpot like lottery for a one solution fixes all, but i doubt that. The IOS 6 onwards and any I device that requires is has fallen down the black hole. I attempted to stress / warn everyone earlier not to upgrade, but damage is done and now its even more frequent you cant even use a device without it so doesnt matter.

     

    If you've tried all the work-arounds on this thread since day one and NONE are good for you, you've done all the RESET methods APPLE suggests to try, then the next thing to do is get a replace Apple device if its under warranty.

     

    Failing that, if the replacement still poses the same issue, then you device how many replacements you wanna go for, as some have been replaced nearly up to 10 times im hearing.

     

    Aside from replacing the Apple device, you can also buy yourself a newer model of your WAP device or choose another brand. I dont want to hear any whinging about this suggestion from anyone, just "suck it up princesses" and realised maybe its time to be out with the OLD and in with the NEW, dont expect your 100 year old WAP device to work with new technologies all the time.

     

    IF all your WAP, Network devices etc are ALL apple devices, then i guess you're in a world of pain if you cant even get them working happily together, you have APPLE support and have them to thank for your problems.

     

    When Iphone 5s comes out, i wouldnt be rushing for it, i'd sit n wait to see what comes out of it

     

    As far as im concerned, my Iphone 4S ran better than my iphone 5.

     

    Iphone 5 is like Windows Vista... IMHO.
