Help! Wifi on 4S drops since ios 6.0.1

Thank you for your reply Lawrence Finch

I tried resetting the network several times, without success.

So first thing in the morning (it's 10pm here), I'll do a new restore - install as new - and then restore my backup, am I correct? I tried restoring before (also without success) but I immediately selected restore from backup.

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks a lot for your information.

I'll try the virgin-iPhone this weekend. The router of my wifi has "automatic channel" installed (now I'm using channel 10). I'll see how the virgin-iPhone works, if the problem stays I'll try a new fixed channel. I'll post back asap!

Thank you again!

ok I just did a full restore without replacing my backup. I'm now using a clean phone...

When the restore was finished...the wifi button was grey. I did a hard reset and the wifi button worked again. I found my wifi at home, but failed to connect after entering the password. I switched the wifi-button off and on again, and he failed to locate any wifi-spots near my house now (there are 4, 1 is mine). The phone keeps "searching network".

I did a new hard reset, the wifi button was grey, after 2 ⚠ new reboots the wifi button worked again, but still keeps failing to find any wifi-spots?! My home wifi channel is still 10, like some hours ago when everything went well?!

What is happening? My phone is completely messed up since the last update?! I can't be the only one with this problem? How can this not be software-related, because everything worked fine until 6.0.1!?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

So I tried a new clean recovery...the wifi worked, I could connect to my local wifi network.

I went out, came back in to my house and saw that wifi failed to connect. I tried searching for wifi-spot but it keeps "searching network"...

I did a new full restore and replaced my backup, the wifi button stayed grey the whole time, even after 5 hard resets...

Again a new full restore, replaced my backup, now wifi works for 10 minutes, but for how long? This can't be a hardware problem right?

This sure s*cks! What to do? I've read hundreds of posts with the same problem! Where is Apple in this?

Should I wait for a new ios update? The nearest Genius-bar is a 400 miles roundtrip...but then I get a refurbished one?! I want mine or a brand new one... In January I have my iPhone for 1 year... (Belgium has 2 year warranty but I've read that Apple doesn't want to give this 2 year warranty?)

Help!

I'll try the fixed channel now. The router is pretty new, I'll check this to be surr, thanks.

It seems like software, because everything worked before 6.0.1?

I was home the entire day today, half of the time wifi failed to connect, the other half was good wifi, without doing anything...

I can't think of any explanation?

I don't have any, but maybe my neighbours? I live in an appartement so...

I just woke up and had wifi for 10 minutes. Now my phone keeps searching for wifi networks (also the other spots near my house can't be found...)

I've read on tis forum that many people on 6.0.1 have problems with wifi (most of them have greyed out wifi buttons), so I guess I'm not the only one?

It's just weird that my wifi buttons also greyed out a couple of times. 1 hour later my wifi works fine and another hour later i can't find any networks? Very frustrating since I only use wifi at home for my phone...now I just pay bills without ejoying good connection...

thank you for help!

I tried the fixed channel "1" but it didn't work either. It fails to connect after 30 minutes standby and then keeps searching for network.

I tried lowering the wifi-security level from WPA2-PSK tot WEP...it worked for 10min and then loses connection again. I did a reboot and the wifi button greyed out again, after 5 reboots I could use the button again...

My router is 10 months old and should be updated automaticaly by my internet provider. It's a rental router so I don't know how to update it myself...

What to do?

Thank you for your time,

Do you believe this is hardware related? It's just weird that my wifi works half the time so the hardware does work.

On the otherhand my phone searches for wifi networks the other half of the day without finding them.

I jut hate it, the nearest apple shop is a 400 miles round trip...

I'll try the freezer tomorrow, you never know!

Now i'm not at home and my phone failed to locate the wifi hete. After 10 min he found the spots, but it still keeps dropping.

I don't think we have an exchange procedure here, i can't find it on the belgian apple site.
