OK, I thought you meant the option on the phone for "auto" proxy that can be selected for each network that you are connected to at the time.
Thats what I ment..i set my proxy on my iPhone 5 to auto and all is good now

Hmmm. Well here's my deal. I have an asus rt-n56u. I had it on very old firmware. My i5 had horrendous speed and stability on it, on 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
I got fed up on day and updated my routers firmware, even though I generally have a "if it ain't broke" type mentality, I figured I might as well try.
I updated the router and since then, 5ghz on my i5 has been excellent. 2.4ghz is still crap. Why I have no clue.
My iPad 2 is the same story. It was perfect while I had it on ios 5.1.1. I updated to ios6 and wifi went downhill.
After router update, 5ghz is great. 2.4ghz crap.
No matter what anyone says, it's software related in one way or another.
Depends on the router itself, router firmware, and ios version.
Apple needs to figure this out
I was thinking of stuffing that ol' mattress believe me!
Yah, good advice, the same thing applies to buying anything really, I remember researching video cards a few years ago and seeing the same thing...toss the dice and I was always good to go. So on that note I will get the 5 tomorrow. Thanks for the great communication!
That counts as "ain't broke"?!?
Honestly, it's probably your router. Even the best routers deteriorate over time. I work with RF equipment at my job, no matter how cheap or expensive the equipment is, it will deteriorate over time/usage. That said, I have zero problems on iOS 6 on both my iPad mini and iPhone 5 with 5GHz or 2.4GHz WiFi bands. Sometimes interference may be the problem and you can't control that all the time. Or it's a peak hour for the ISP. Or maybe the switch for your area was being fixed or maintained.
Yeah it does count as ain't broke. Because all of my equipment worked just fine before ios 6 was updated on all of them (at different time), and then all of them suddenly have horrendous wifi performance. The only equipment that remained the same, problem free were my windows pc's.
Its not time of day, isp, etc. Some routers don't jive with ios 6. Some are totally fine. Sometimes a FW update helps, sometimes it doesnt.
Does 6.1.2 fix any wifi issues?
Here is a shot showing more iPhone WiFi results from around my home.
These results were all recorded on the NY Speedtest.net server with the Asus RT-N66U router (5GHz network).
So I'm hearing the issue if FIXED with ios7. Has anyone confirmed???
So upgrading to iOS 7 fixes the slow wifi???
