Q: iPhone 5 wifi issues

That's what I've been saying here, too. If neighbors stick to 1,6, and 11, no issues. But when I'm on 6 and a neighbor's Auto setting decides it's a nice day for 5, it jacks everything up.

Guys,

My New iphone 5 (4 months old now) was replaced today by my Carrier to a new refurbished one.

WIFI PROBLEM IS GONE!!!!!

Wifi Reception is now good even from 5-6-7 meters of the Router and Safari is working properly.

THISI IS A HW PROBLEM!!!

go and replace your Iphone 5.

BR,

I'm having the same issues with both iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and iPad 4 iOS 6.1.3. I typically run my iPad off the 5mhz frequency on my netgear router and my IPhone on the 2.5mhz frequency, cause I'm rarely on my phone.

It is the same issue for me on both frequencys. I am the only one around me that is on 5mhz frequency. So I think that is definitely not the large problem!!!

I feel that is insignificant because we all know we've lost connections without testing for speed.

FINALLY an answer to this issue of sporatic Speedtest results. I always get it zooming to 15 or even 35 mbits, and then it pauses forever and then rests on 1 or 2 mbits.

Well it is the only proof I can find of there actually being an issue as I've had issues with my original and replacement iPhone 5. Apple thinks I'm crazy even though none of my other WiFi devices have issues.

I'm about 99.9% sure Apple knows exactly what going on, the don't Acknowledge the problem because they probably haven't found a fix for it. They will probably acknowledge once IOS 7 has launched!

You know Apple is still celebrating there mini achievement in stumping the jailbreaking this one and only time!

I guess the significance is the fact that they are working with Apple on an issue with the latest iOS/devices. Rather than Apples silence regarding the issue

But that just means they're blaming the slow speeds on false readings, not addressing that APPLE has a problem itself.

A failed test would be a false reading?

I have the same problem on my 4s. Wifi is Greyed out. I tried everything:

I put it on the freezer, i tried the hairdyer method thing, i restored it, reset the network settings, airplane mode off then on again. Nothing works. HELP! I don't know what to do I'm very frustrated. I hope Apple comes up with a solution.

Guys I`'ve finally found the solution, after 8 months of trying to get Wi-Fi on my phone! I bought a samsung galaxy s4, worked on my Wi-Fi right out of the box! :) it can also do tethering so I just share my data to my iPhone 5, or glorified iPod as I like to call it now:p since the two devices are always next to each other the glorified iPhone doesn't disconnect relentlessly. It's win win!

i appreciated your solution. I have also bought Samsung phone withoumy will as apple didnt accept the problem boldly and found out excuses all the times

I sent my phone in for repair but, obviously, they said there was no problem when they "diagnosed" my iPhone. It's obviously and issue and idk why they're ignoring it.
