Anyone having trouble with Wifi connection?

SourKraut · 03-11-2009, 6:17 PM

For the past 2 days my wifi is not connecting and it also keeps asking me for a password. This is the first time it's started to do this, as I set it up without any problems when I first got the phone

In wifi networks it can see the router, and when I 'tick' that network it tries to connect, but no ip address comes up...after a few mins a box appears to tell me the password is incorrect. I have re-input the password/s (tried them all) but its no deal

I have deleted the network and tried to get it to pick the network up again, but its all in vein

Can anyone give me a clue where I'm going wrong, as I've googled the problem and quite a few people are having some problems or another...don't know if it's something to do with software version 3.1.2

I have used blackra1n to jailbreak

I often lost wifi connection - only way to fix was a modem router reset. Didn't know if it was my Netgear or Iphone.

In the end I assigned the Iphone a static ip and never had a problem since.

Right, I've restored my iPhone back to 'normal' still no wifi icon or connection, so have booked an appointment at the Genius Bar on Saturday morning

Do I need to take any documents ie: purchase invoice etc.

Cheers

Go to settings, general, reset, & then click reset network settings takes about 5 minutes

Ever since the upgrade to 3.1.2, I also have the same problem. Sometimes I need to reset the network settings a few times before getting the wifi connection back.

I am once again having wifi problems. Mine was previously set to DCHP and would only connect occasionaly in spite of finding my wireless network all the time, i solved this by setting a static ip address and this worked perfectly till the last few days. For no apparent reason i now get the unable to connect message. My computer and iphone settings are shown below

I would suggest doing a full restore in itunes and then use the latest blackra1n which should say RC3 once downloaded. My wifi was fine when i used blakra1n before but when i did the unlock last night it went off completely. So i did a full restore, did blackra1n again but i still had no wifi, proceeded to do the steps above and it worked.

I am not suffering with the wifi problem myself but have just stumbled across this Fix No Wi-Fi, GPS and YouTube after Blackra1n Jailbreak | Blacksn0w don't know if it is any help but thought i would post in case it was

I've tried that too without success

SourKraut · 05-11-2009, 7:34 PM

I've just done another restore, but this time have setup the iphone as a new phone, and guess what.................I have my wifi back...just put in the password and I now have the wifi icon and I'm able to surf the net again, but for how long is another question

Edit: I have restored to a backup from yesterday, and my wifi is still working, so I will try jailbreaking now and get my themes back

I tired reseting and did a full restore setting up as a new phone and tried wife before and after jailbreaking and although it finds my network straight away i still get the unable to join message
