iOS 7.0.4 has destroyed my WiFi connectivity.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 5 with the 7.0.4 version, I can no longer use WiFi anywhere. Not even on my home router which I've been connected to for over 3 years. I have reset the phone, restored from iTunes backup, restarted the router etc etc. Nothing works.

iPhone 5, iOS 6, 32GB Black

I've also had this happen to me... but like a week after I updated to 7.0.4! I've lost everything because I stupidly back up to iCloud and i'm not able to restore back to my previous settings because my WIFI still isnt working 😟


Every time I go to connect to anything my phone freezes and crashes or just says "unable to connect" - Out of warrently so i bet i'm going to have to pay out for another apple mess up!

Exactly the same has happened to me after update to 7.0.4 on iPhone 4S. I've tried everything to resolve with no luck! My Bluetooth doesn't work now either! Out of warranty and told it will cost over £160 for apple to repair! Down right ridiculous given this is the updates fault! Sort it out apple! Losing faith in you rapidly - already started the shift to android! :-(

Hi, I had same problem with connectivity after updating to iOS 7.04. I tried rebooting and resetting. Nothing worked. Someone suggested that I take out the SIM card, then reset network. Install SIM card after phone comes back from reset. It worked for me.

If all else fail, Apple staff told me to backup to iTunes on a computer (not iCloud) then restore from backup. Apparently, when you restore from backup, iTunes automatically restore the software and some of its kinks.

Well I've just been to the apple store and I got a replacement iPhone (for free even though I'm out of warranty) but they do not know what the issue is. He plugged it in and the error on the diagnostics isn't in the apple system. They're sending my handset off to some head office for it to be inspected fully. I'm deffo not updating the software on this to 7.0.4 for the time being though.

there is no way this is a hardware issue! Apple better fix this immediately. I turned my wifi router off and back on, and still can't get my iPad to connect. I, too, am heading to the Apple store tomorrow. If they tell my it's my iPad and I have to buy a new one, I am ...well...I don't know what I am gonna do. ha. You can see on my iPad the last time it updated and it was right before I did the ios 7.0.4 install. Why can't the operating system be uninstalled? There should be an app for that.....
