Why your wifi isn't working iPhone 5

I have not been able to access certain wireless routers wifi connections even when typing in the proper passwords. If you receive the error unable to connect. You have probably tried a number of problem resolutions to switching the Proxy to auto and trying to shut off your cell us and enabling wifi then.

Maybe you connect and see the wifi signal stagger from full bars to 2 bars as the pin wheel keeps going and going next to your wifi bar. Try and get to a site and you're left waiting and waiting.

I called Apple Customer support and spoke with a Tim: Who stated the following. They are aware of the problems with Wifi. They have updated the wifi for their IOS6 devices. however, the transmitter on the new Iphone is different than the ones in the Iphone 4, and 4S. The new one is having difficulty connecting with older wireless devices whose firm ware is out of date or no longer supported. Since the Iphone passes all F.C.C requirements and meets all standards it is not the job of apple to chase after manufacturers for incompatible devices.

The advise was to get anyone with the outdated firmware or router to update the firmware or router. They were also aware of issues with Verizon and Comcast routers which have protocols that restrict the Iphone 5 from connecting and is the job to personally go in and fix the issues. The information can be found on the respective companies web page forums.

So apple has released a phone that may or may not work with routers by standards they have deemed to be outdated. More or less this is them saying. We are technologically superior and come out with superior technologies. Anyone who does not choose to keep up with our standards is at a loss and they will not compromise. So it is up to everyone to stay on top of firmware updates and updating outdated hardware.

As someone who just spent a pretty penny replacing his old phone with the upgrade price to a phone that now charges me for data as I have lost my unlimited data through Verizon by upgrading. Tim was unapologetic when blaming other companies for not being able to keep up.

As far as I am concerned here, it is the job of apple to make sure that their phones can communicate with at least relevant technology. I am not asking a dial up be turned in a wireless high speed connection. The internet security protocols haven't changed so much a transmitter cant be adapted to finction with them. If there is an issue with these devices it is up to both companies to work out a fix. If people can't connect they will go elsewhere as I am doing.

I will be returning my apple iphone 5 tomorrow to attempt another shot at dealing with droid and their overheat issues... Or back track to an Iphone 4s.... So aggravated by the lack of customer care or resolving a major issue with the phones coming out. Droid refuses to admit they have overheat problems. Now apple won't fix their wifi transmitters. because its not their fault their phone doesn't work with everything...
