For some reason on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6 (it did the same thing on iOS 5) after I connect to my homes wifi after a couple minutes it disconnects. And this is a huge pain because my wifi password is huge. Does anyone know why this is happening? And how to fix it? Please and thank you!
Got a tip for us?

Devices say "unable to join the network NAME" please HELP!
It seems here there are lot of experienced people... so I copy and paste from Apple Discussions:
The problem I get (I see the network in the available wireless list on the device but I get the message "unable to join the network.. name of the network..") happens with every wireless device (iphone, ipad, nintendo 3DS....).
The only thing I can do to make it work again is to unplug Airport and replug...
Any idea?
I always thought it could be an IP conflict 'cause we have not a regular cable DSL but our main router gets internet from a wireless antenna on the roof. LOL
Another hint is that I noticed this happen more when a device "enters" the Airport area (me or my sister coming home with iphone).
Add some screenshots, You'll excuse if am italian. lol
