Hello, I just got a iPhone 4s from ebay unlocked. I installed my T-mobile sim and we are off !!! Problem that i ran into is when i try to setup the wifi the wheel spins but it never finds a network. I know my network is ok cause my ipad air and MBP connect just fine, So just to be sure I reboot the network, Nothing I reset the network settings, also nothing.. Someone told me that I mite have to open it and replace the antenna but before I order a new antenna i wanted to see what you guys think.

Thank you for reading my thread.
 
The WiFi specs for the 4s say this: 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4GHz only)

Are you operating an AC wireless only network?
 
You might have bought a defective iphone.
Test it out and try to connect to a few other wifi's also.
If nothing happens then I'd return it to the seller and get your money back.
Wifi is important.
 
This is my router

i know that it has 802.11n for sure. I just ran over to my friends house, he has dsl and it didn't see his network either. I also stopped by Mc Donald's and it didnt see that wifi either :(
