iPhone 4 keeps dropping wi-fi

Chives · 4 Feb 2011 at 13:28

This is becoming increasingly irritating now, my iPhone 4 constantly drops it's wi-fi signal in house, I have to reset the router to pick it up again.. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

I have tried resetting the network's channels, deleting the network information from the iPhone and re-entering it.

Hi Chives, by any chance are you on iOS 4.2.1? Some people i know have wi-fi connectivity issues on that firmware.

Is that the latest version? If so yes

Yeah mate it is! Mine is still on 4.1 but I have no such issues. I would as a last case scenario restore the phone.
Hope it all works out for you buddy!

Does the fact you have to reset the router to get it to work again clearly tell you that your router may be the problem?

....Just sayin'

i have a similar problem but it only seems to happen when im downloading thru usenet,

if i stop downloading and reset wifi on iphone, works fine again

bit strange

I have it on my iPad, bloody annoying and there is a huge huge thread over on the official forums , apple have yet to admit there is a fault!!

What make/model is your router?

If it's a Netgear DG834T and your with O2 then you'll need to update your firmware. It's a Loss of Routing issue.

It's a belkin, a very old one that won't let me update the firmware. :mad:
