iPhone iPhone losing IP address on Wifi

[serky]

Hi All,

I will post this here since my iPhone is Jailbroken 4s 5.1.1. When I am connected to my main Airport base station, I lose my phones IP address and get booted to cellular. I f I go to the area of my house where the access point to extend the network is close, I am on wifi again. I have not changed this setup in over a year and have always had good wifi connectivity in that area. I have a 3rd gen iPad in the area where I lose with the phone and it is always connected. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts why this would happen all of a sudden?

Thanks,

Jason

This is not a jailbreak issue.
I would check Apple Knowledge Base.

And you cannot currently restore a 4S to stock to test it (unless you go to iOS6)

have you tried reset network settings? (you will loose your stored wifi passwords)

Ok, thanks all. I have basically setup the network from scratch and get everything working except the phone. I will post on the Apple Discussions.

have you restarted the phone?
