My Wi-Fi is all over the place, low signal, drop outs etc. I've done a restore but it didn't help. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having trouble?
Got a tip for us?

Anyone having 3G S Wi Fi issues?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Found a few people on Twitter who are experiencing it, too. Must only be some units, since lots are reporting good speeds. I have a black 32GB. What's yours? *edit: just saw your sig. Maybe it's our model?*
Already booked a Genius appointment tomorrow. I paid a lot of money for this phone, and there's no way I'll live with a flawed one. Probably won't be able to replace on the spot, but at least I can go back to my 3G while they get a replacement in.

My wifi works fine
My wifi works fine
I'm having problems with my wifi. It stays at one bar then drops off to 3G. With my old phone I was always at full signal on wifi, the router is only 30 feet away.
I'm not having much luck this is the third 3GS so far today (screen issues). Made an genius appt for Monday. Hopefully fourth time is a charm
16GB Black Wi-Fi issues
I'm also having the same type of problem with my phone. I Have an airport extreme and two airport express's networking my house with wireless N and even in the center, I seem to get wi-fi cutouts and slow speeds. I'm thinking about swapping it out at the apple store

Yeah -- having this issue a bit today, but it seems to have resolved itself now.
Will definitely be monitoring this over the next few days.

WiFi Problems with 3G
I have a second generation phone with the 3G software update and as soon as I updated I started to have WiFi problems. My range is very bad. I have to be on top of the router to pick up the signal.

Hmm. Wonder if it has more to do with the 3.0 update? Either way, I'm definitely seeing fluctuations and I am only one room away from my wifi router (10 feet, through one wall). Goes from 5 bars to 1 to 3 to 5 over a 10 minute span.
Having Same Issue
Hi
iPhone 3g S Black 32gb
I am having problems with wifi, dropping out, disconnecting, drops it lease. It seems as though the signal is weaker than previous phones. Perhaps this is part of the reason the new phone has a better battery life! It also often asks for the wifi password again which is a symptom of an erratic connection.

Possible Issue
I had my old iPhone 3g switched on at the same time as the new 3gs, I had named them the same when set up. As soon as I switched off my old 3g phone, the 3gs now works just fine. I think they were interfering with each other on the network. My own fault really for working on unlocking the old phone so I can sell it on ebay!

Yeah it seems to not affect performance here either. Probably just a minor glitch for now. Seems to only happen a few times a day.
My wifi improved the speed has doubled. When I ran the speed test on my 3g I got a excellent speed of around 5000kb when I run it on my 3gs it's around 11000kb why would this be. Keep in mind I also have an AE extreme dual band would this have anything to do with it? Anything to do with the beefed up processing power on the new phone everything is literally twice as fast this was a true upgrade I don't care what anybody says night and day compared to my 3g.
My 2 cents.
My 2 cents.
We're not saying the wifi speed is low, we're saying the signal strength is low.
My wifi speed is over twice as fast on the 3G S, even with the perceived weak signal.
I consistently get over 17,000 kbps over wifi on my 3G S now (20 mbps fios line) where my 3G struggled to get to 7,500 kbps on the same network.
I am still having wifi issues even after I reset everything possible to reset. I called apple and explained and they told me to call AT&T. I asked what wifi had to do with AT&T and the rep said that is what the product specialist told them and there is nothing more they could do. They transferred me to AT&T who apparently isnt open yet. wtf
