Wifi doesn't work

[pfry10]

I was having the same issue with it not connecting to wifi and it was sending me to "www.apple.com, page not found".

I unplugged both my cable modem and wifi router for 10 seconds each and it fixed the wifi on my iPad.

Is it normal that when I wake the phone up, if I look closely, I see the phone is on 3G and then quickly flips to wifi? Almost like when it goes asleep, it goes to 3G? Or is it just an icon switch delay on the display? When I'm on wifi, I'd expect it to stay on wifi and not go back to 3G when it's sleeping. Anyone else see this?

To test, once the phone has gone off by itself, press the home button and look closely when it wakes up. Do you see it switch? I don't think I've seen that before prior to iOS 6.

It's normal. WiFi goes to sleep when the phone is asleep - saves battery.

Try going to Setting>> General>> Reset>> Reset Network Settings -- then you'll have set-up and reconnect to your previously set-up wifi network(s).

I had the same problem and called AppleCare They suggested exactly the same thing as you and it worked!

The key for me was to Renew the Lease. Once I did that it works fine.

Thanks. I would have thought always checking for 3G would have been more battery intensive.

That did indeed work after Apple fixed the phugg-up on their end of things.

I upgraded to iOS 6 and now my wi if wont work on my 4s with AT&T. My other devices and upgraded fine an iPad and iPhone 4. Anyone else having problems?

I experienced the same problem. I don't know if it's because I used FaceTime, but I noticed the wi-fi problem after that. To resolve, I de-activated the facetime in the settings, and put it back on again. The problem was solved.

I had the same issue on the iPad3, eventhought I did'nt used it to facetime. But the Wi-Fi was fixed after that I sorted resetted Facetime on the iPhone 4.

I'll add though, that I just checked this out on my wife's 4S still running 5.1.1, and it doesn't do this. If it does, then I'm just not able to see the icon/mode switch.

Just reset network again. I can't even access wifi it is greyed out.

I reset my settings twice (mentioned in the third post) and now it seems to be working. Must have been fixed on Apple's end.

Had same problem on ip4 and 4s.Try rebooting after the network reset.It worked on my two phones.

This worked for me on 2 iPhone 4's and a New iPad. Thanks.

I can't even access wifi on my 4s. Is anyone else having this problem? Wifi has been greyed out on my phone

here's what I did, solved it

go into wifi settings for your access point
click on forget this connection

do a reset where you hold the power and home buttons at the same time

let it sit

power on

go to settings, wifi

choose your wifi and click on

put in you pass word and you should be good to go

 

[vthokies]

My phone seems to disconnect from wifi every now and then. I keep having to go into my settings and reconnect to wifi.

 

[Rykermorgan]

Mine wasn't working either so I powered down my iPad and when I powered back up all wifi worked fine.

No problem here with WiFi on my 4S connecting to my home network (secure). I'll find out tomorrow how it works at the office. ~ecm
