Q: iPhone 5 wifi issues

Thanks for the info. I've had my Airport Extreme set to another DNS that's faster than Googles, but when I tell the iPhone to forget the network, I have to type in that DNS again. Any chance the iPhone can pick it up automatically? It' hasn't been thus far, and it's been months since I've been using an external DNS on the Extreme.

im having a similar problem with my iphone 3gs since i updated to the new ios 6.1.3

however i can connect to the wifi networks, but only now if im standing right next to the router in my house or at my work, ive tried deleting these networks and re adding them with the password but nooo doesnt work

also since i upgraded to ios 6 facebook crashes constantly, not to bothered about that but i would like my iphone to be able to connect to wifi again when standing more than 2ft away from the router

Wellcome to club :(((((  @christophk17

I have the same problem on my iphone 5, so is it a hardware or software issue?

Its a mix of both, the moment you upgrade an IOS 6, it has ramifications such as creating hassles that didnt exist before, in saying that it fails to communicate effectively as before with WAP's software that broadcasts your wifi transmission.

Long story short, fi you're wifi was working fine before the upgrade, then you got to apple store and say wifi not working, then they test on their wifi devices and say, well its working here, they will laugh at you.

Always remember to FIRST perform the WiFi troubleshooting steps that apple have documented to test before you speak to them.

Try this Method:

• Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
• Reconfirm it again when the notification pops up and wait for the phone to reboot itself

Add me to the list of users with Wifi issues on the iPhone 5.  Come on Apple, please fix this in the next patch.  So annoying, one of the reasons I came back to iPhone was that is worked better.  These types of issues leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm also in the Club!!!

Updated my iphone 5 the other day to 6.1.3.  Immediately noticed that web pages load VERY slow when on my home wifi.  So....I go to the local Starbucks and try their wifi.   No better than my home network. 

Then I go to the office and same problem.   Now, here's the kicker....my ipad, imac, and the kids' macbooks all use wifi at home and there is no slow loading issues.  It is ONLY my iphone 5 but only since updating to 6.1.3.

Before the update, the iphone 5 had no problem loading web pages at all when I was on a wifi network.

Applecare can't explain it and claim that I am THE ONLY person to report that problem.  Hmmmm?  I suppose that they haven't read this thread.

This is very frustrating......

Welcome to our club.

After having spent a week end trying to fix this problem, I went to the Apple store nearby and got a replacement. They know about the problem. The Genius service guy pretended that he had not seen it on the iphone 5 yet. I had to tell him that the internet is full of reports on the wifi problems with this new iphone. In any case, if you wish to avoid loosing time to fix this problem, get a replacement for your iphone 5 and wlan will work.

No it won't. Not in all cases. Didn't for me and many others here.

Finally my wifi is working perfect and has been for over 3 weeks, connects to every network everytime without fail, doesnt slow down etc etc. I have definitely solved the problem, and it wasent from any solution in this thread.

What did you do. I'm on my third iPhone 5 everyone with the same problem.
