iPhone 5 Wi-Fi problems

[applejuice99]

I have had my iPhone for 3 months and haven't had problems with the Wi-Fi. My battery was at about 50% before I went to bed, and I woke up with it completely dead. I then realised it wasn't connected to Wi-Fi, I assumed the battery drained because it was trying to connect to the internet. I tried switching Wi-Fi off then back on again, switching the whole phone of then on again, resetting network settings, forgetting the network, all that I could think of. I don’t know what else to try, can anyone?

Are you asking for help with not being able to reconnect to your wifi or are you asking for help with the battery draining?

Are you asking for help with not being able to reconnect to your wifi or are you asking for help with the battery draining?

the fact that I cannot connect to the internet

Does wifi work in other places other than your house? Did you try power cycling your router as well as your phone? Other devices in your house able to connect? Let me know more and ill help you as best as I can.

I am on iOS 6.1.3 (latest) I have tried resetting my router, all my other devices in the house work. I have also tried it in someone elses house, it does not work.

ok, is the phone able to find your home network? if so, what happens when you try to connect to it?

Which iPhone do you have and...

Did you try:

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

And actually, follow all the steps here:

If that doesn't fix your issue then you'll need to contact Apple about it as there's likely a hardware issue with your phone and it will need to be repaired or replaced.

I just got my iPhone 5 yesterday and was having some problems with my wifi staying connected. I would select my wireless network, put the password in and the wifi would stay connected as long as I did not put the phone to sleep for too long. If I waited too long the connection would go away. What I did to fix it was under settings > wifi > choose a network, I selected Other. Then I manually entered my wifi name and password. Then under security choose WPA. That took care of the problem, i.e. it stayed connected after I powered the phone down and then back on. It also stayed connected overnight, amazing, right.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I took it back to the apple shop and the replaced it for free as a firmware issue
