iphone keep dropping wifi and keeps asking for password!
My I phone 5 keeps dropping the wifi connection. Then when I go to reconnect it keeps asking for the password again as if I'm connecting for the first time. I tried the resetting of all network hardware, hard reset of the iphone itself. It seems to have varying lengths of time before it drops the connection with varying wifi connections, i.e. different routers with different services. At work it seemed to work after I reset all the network hardware, but at home it keeps the connection for about 10-20 minutes and then it's back to reconnecting and reentering the password. I have an Ipad 3, iPod 4th gen, 3 Macbook Pros (the new retina, 2yr old 17 inch, and 3yr old 15 inch). All these devices work great with my router. I never had a problem with the router itself only problems with Comcast internet service on a very seldom intermittent basis. I have updated all iOS devices to the new iOS6 and the only one having problems is the iPhone 5. This leads me to believe that either this is a hardware issue in the new iPhone, or some sort of software issue related to iphone 5 specific hardware. Maybe some sort of driver for new hardware only the iphone 5 has. Hopefully, it's a bug in the software and will be addressed in an upcoming update. I hate going and making an appointment with the "Genius" bar and going to the store. The whole reason I am a big fan of apple products is their reliability and ingenuity. The only times that I had apple products fail on me were when I had older iPods 2-3 years old. That I can understand but when you purchase what basically turns out to be a $1000 phone, I expect much more. I spend this money because their products make my life easier and more productive, but if I have to enter a password 20 times a day, it makes my blood boil. I think this problem is common enough to where it apple will make some sort of announcement and address the issue. 😡
