IPhone :: Why Does 4S Show Only 3 Bars Of Wifi Service When Sitting Only Feet From Wifi Router
Apr 28, 2012
I'm sitting at my desk and my wifi router is just a few feet from me. Despite the fact my iPhone 4S is connected, it only shows 3 bars of service.Is there something wrong with the wifi receiver on the phone?
The phone shows 3g and full bars of service, but whenever I try to call with it, there's no sound until the "call failed' tone goes. No ringing, nothing. The tone plays fine, as do music and videos, but texts and calls cannot be sent or received. Considering it got wet recently (I stuck in rice for a few days), there may be some corrosion or something.
My iPhone 4 (version 5.1.1) uses 3G unless I'm right on top of the router in my home. I've already exceeded my monthly data allowance because of this. My phone company was less than helpful. None of my other wireless devices (kindle fire, iPad, iPhone 3GS, laptop) has this problem.
I have changed my router; all my devices (2 x iPad, Blackberry, Samsung TV) have seen and remembered this as my new network and are working fine, however, my 2 x iPhones (1 x iPhone3, 1 iPhone4 both with ios5.1) will not 'remember' this new network. They see it fine and and I can login and use it fine, but I am asked for the password every time. I have reset networks, but couldn't 'forget this network' as the option is not available. This is strange and is frustrating me as I can't understand why all works fine on my brand-new iPad3s!
My iphone 4 used to connect to my wifi but now its won't connect it keeps on asking for the passcode for the router so I type it in and it just keeps asking for it. it used to connect fine then it just stopped.
i have an iphone 4s and i can not connect to any wirless router using wifi, the only way it to put it in the freezer for a few minutes and the i only get like 5 minutes of wifi time and the the connection drops again and the phone can not even recognize the network?
My new iphone 4s won't connect to my home verizon Westell 7500 router by wifi (WPA passwd). It connects fine to other wifi networks. I am entering the passwd correctly.
I have a new home router. my I phone is picking up the wifi signal. But my password for my router does not work. I've tried keying the home phone number and they the airport sign comes up but I have NO connection.
It's a 2WIRE AT&T router for a DSL line. Do I need to set up something under DHCP or BootP or Static settings?
I no longer have the 3G network and I can get WiFi at all other WiFi spots except when a 2WIRE DSL box (router) is being used.
i changed my modem router yesterday, did all the settings. all my devises can join my wi-fi but my iphone 5s cant. it recognizes the network, tries to join it, but cant join it.
Turned my iphone on and off two times, Turned my router on and off several times, reset my network setting on the iphone, changed the channel on the router twice, pressed "forget this network" and tried to connect manually.
i have an htc wildfire. managed to connect to any network but found a really big problem to connect to my girlfriends home router. the problem is nobody knows the password of the router there. i cannot reset it
I have Blackberry curve 9380. Recently I purchased Digisol Broadband router model DG-BG4011N which I am using with BSNL Broadband connection. The trouble is I cant use this wifi connection on my Blackberry. My blackberry discovers this connection, asks for a passpharase and connects to wifi. It even displays on homesvreen as connected but stil I cannot use internet over wifi. Everytime when I access browser, App world etc, the connection being used is my mobile EDGE connection. When I try to use only wifi by disconnecting from Bsnl network, it will give me error. I contacted Digisol helpline, but they also could not help. I have tried changing security on my digisol interface from WPA only to WPA2 and to auto mode, but still cannot use internet over wifi on my Blackberry. Wifi works fine on my laptop. Also my blacberry works fine over wifi at a friends place.
i just got the play today, and tried linking it to my home wifi and it connects but say limited connectivity. how can i fix this? I have already reset the router,emoved and readded the router to the phone. phone is fully up to date.
My legend has connected to my router without any problems until the other day when BT had a problem and we were without phone line and router for 48 hours. When it came back, I was no longer able to connect with the Legend. My laptop connects wirelessly without a problem but I get the message: "obtaining IP Address.." and then it disconnects and tries again.

My new Galaxy s2 is having trouble connecting to my routers Wifi, a netgear DG834GUv5. I can get it to connect fine if I disable the routers security entirely, but I would not want to keep that up at all. I would like to be able to connect at home. I've been looking up things on the internet for days now, and am getting desperate.
when I am connected via wif and the wifi bars are blue, sometime the phone bars are also blue and sometime the bars are white? I understand that blue signifies Google connected, but why would the phone data connect to google when wifi is available..
I have a Nokia N95 and i got problem with wifi networks. I can join and surf on the internet, when im in unsecured router, but mine router is WPA and settings in N95 should be right. It is saying that I entered invalid router password or something like that.
I have a problem connecting my BlackBerry 8900 to a Sitecom WL-346 WiFi modem/router. I have created the WiFi profile on my phone, the connection get established, my phone get an IP address from the router (that is also a DHCP server) but I can't connect to internet. Also, if I try to ping the phone itself or the gateway (that is the router), the ping times out. I can't figure out which is the problem. From al of my devices (PCs, Wii) internet connection whit this router is OK.
unable to login facebook from wifi router. it says your currently on service plan that does not support this application. connect to wifi or contact service provider. i am using Internet and google. same problem with gtalk, twitter, yahoo messenger.
When I leave home and return, I have to manually connect back to my home wifi. From what I remember, it used to do that all by itself and connect with any other network that I've connected to in the past automatically. It no longer does that. I'm not finding any answers on Google that work.
