Hi,

I'm having a very weird and extremely annoying issue with my iphone 4 wifi connection at home. Although my phone shows that wifi is connected, it sometimes will suddenly decide it can't connect to anything. Safari won't connect to any sites, twitter won't update etc. I have to turn wifi off/on to get it working again. This happens several times a day. I've searched through the forums and tried a couple of fixes, none of which worked. These were restoring the phone to factory defaults, changing the DNS servers on the phone to use OPENDNS, changing the router's wifi settings to 'g/b' only. My router is a belkin if that makes any difference.

When it suddenly fails, i've checked the IP details and they look ok - the connection hasn't dropped, it's still got a valid IP address. The phone just doesn't want to connect.

It's driving me mental and any help would be greatly appreciated.
