WiFi connection drops after exactly 10 minutes

What have you got your fetch schedule set to?

 

Is this on all networks, or just one specific one? Also, does this happen with any other wirless devices? It is possible that if you are using it at a network that isn't yours they could have the router set up to only allow a client 10 minutes before stopping data transfer (forcing you to renew the session by disconnecting and reconnecting.)

 

I had this exact problem in a hotel room for 3 days before I figured out what was causing it (it went out after exactly 15 minutes, not 10, for me). It was one of the routers. The setup they had was this: one ethernet cord led from the modem to the first router. From this router one ethernet channel led to the wireless router, and another channel led to a base station that was there to provide internet to those without wifi enabled computers, and only ethernet. This is a weird setup they had I know, but you should have seen the ghetto wireless router they had. Unplugging the base station from the first router got me internet back with 0 drop outs afterwards for 3 more days. I later talked to the guy at the front desk, this was at the Westin in St. John btw, and he said many people had had this problem with other wifi enabled smartphones, and couldn't figure it out.

Also, the way I was dealing with it before I found the problem was to reset the DHCP lease.

 

Yes, my touch never lost my home WiFi connection until the latest releases.

Now, after x minutes of not being used, it pops up with "not connected" most of the time.

Sometimes I can just hit the browser reload a couple of times and get back connected. Sometimes I have to go into Settings and click on my network again (even though it says it's connected).

Previous to this summer, I had no browser crashes and the network was rock solid. It was very impressive compared to my WM devices. Now the solidness impression goes the other way.

Hope Apple clears it up again.

 

Yeah its always the router. Some routers like "re-set" or something like that. Laptops can handle this fast, but little devices sometimes have to be 100% reset. if your HOME router is having this trouble might as well get a better router or see if you can get this fixed. I have a buffalo ONLY router I have ever loved super grande. Works so well, and you can have like 10 diff devices using the router without probs.

 

My WiFi isn't dropping on my iPhone

 

Considering you can connect to other wireless networks with no problems, and considering I had the same exact problem and found out it was the router, I think you can stop blaming the iPhone and start blaming the router.

It seems as if your router can't handle multiple connections well, seeing as you have multiple connections on yours (e.g. other computers) and also considering the router I found at fault was fixed by reducing the connections by 1.

One more thing, the iPhone may be at fault for not reestablishing connection the same way a computer does after being cut off without losing a DHCP lease. Perhaps this ability will be added in the future, but it is certainly a minor fault considering the circumstances are unusual.

 

When you got your iPhone, you could have ended up with one more connection than your router was configured to handle (DHCP or whatever). It could be periodically dropping one device or computer to pick up another (perhaps a neighbor using your bandwidth?).

Try rebooting your router, changing the admin/WEP/WPA passwords, and checking the rest of its configuration, including number of clients allowed.
