Just got this phone and having some issues.

It says I'm "unable to connect to network ***" every time I connect to the internet.

Whats the problem I tried resetting it but still having this problem!

Anyone?

3G data enabled?? If you have just cut your old sim down to fit into the iPhone then that will be the problem, either way your network operater may need to provision your sim properly.

Have you tried rebooting you handset since activation?

Your subject says "wifi network problem" - is this trying to connect to a Wifi network or 3G?

If Wifi, is it that it won't connect to the Wifi network at all or that it'll connect but you just get no throughput?

What router do you have? If you have an Airport Extreme, it might be worth changing the channels - strangely it would connect, but not get assigned an address via DHCP (strange), and the signal was very, very weak (expected).

Strange suggestion, I know, but at least that worked for me.

You enter the code for the wifi done. I have one its simple.

Why not ring the folks at Applecare? I had a similar problem with my brand new 4S and after trying a couple of things they decided it was faulty and swapped my phone. The new one works a treat.

hello,

I too had really slow wifi on my new iphone 4S. I tryed updating firmware on my
Routter resetting the iPhone with a fresh ios5. Resetting the phones network setting. All the wile old 3G and my wife's 3GS on ios5 was screaming along with
The web and videos , videos on the 4S weren't watchable. I tryed other wifi hotspots and they all were slow except apples After trying all that apple replaced my iPhone, didn't help new phone was just as slow. So I gave up and tryed a new n600 router that fixed it. Supper fast wifi now It still is like the edge at the free wifi hot spots but they are also probably running 4 year old routters like mine I am just glad it works at home and apple will problubly put out a fix for it because we are not the only one with this problem. But it was unusable before with the old routter I was getting .20 down and 9.20 up, now I am getting 24.97 down and 8.73 up that is spot on for my Internet speeds.

Thanks
