You can always try resetting all settings. It worked for me and several
others.

Hi,
The iPhone 4 antenna problem only effected the phone antenna; wireless
apparently was unaffected.
Your case or speedDots won't be blocking the reception which means
something more interestings going on here. At the end of the day, if
you're convinced its the phone, the only way to confirm is to do a
clean restore - E.G. not from a backup and see if wifi works.
Have you tried googling router model iphone 3gs where router model
would be replaced with the model of your router? That should bring up
people with the same problem if its a router issue.
Cheers,
Ben.

depends on the model of your phone. the iphone 4 had the weird antenna
issue
(a design flaw) and having a rubber boot around the phone resolved the
issue. not sure about the 4S though. I have a 3GS here and have no trouble
connecting into my wireless router or any other. I am not sure where the
antenna is on the 3GS but it works very well for 3 year old technology.

Today I took the router down to wep 128 and still could not get in. My
laptop has no problem connecting and going on line. I discovered today
that the router is set for "b, g, & n". I finally found it in the
gateway's web interface.
Where is the embedded antenna suppose to be on the phone? Is it at all
possible that the speed dots overlay could be blocking it?Or the case I'm
using?

There are multiple reasons why open wireless networks might have done
that.
Until you can actually confirm by yourself that its accepting 11G
connections this is what I'm guessing is the problem.
Of course, you could try resetting the phone which from memory solved
Marks issue, but I'm still putting my money on a router problem.
Cheers,
Ben.

I'm going by what cs has shared with me bc there is nothing in the web
interface that gives that information. Plus, today I found a open
wireless
at my grocery store and it sat at network in progress for over 5
minutes.

Hi,
Have you confirmed yourself that its broadcasting on all bands or are
you going by what customer support is telling you? Wifi on the iPhone
is usually very good; Marks issue that he posted the solution to the
other day is the first time that I can remember on the list where its
been a problem with the i device as opposed to the access point.
We get wifi problems posted to the list around once a month and nearly
always, it turns out to be an issue with the router.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,
What iPhone are you using? It could be that for some strange reason
its only broadcasting 11n which on a 3GS won't work.
Cheers,
Ben.

from Comcast who assures me it should work with the iPhone. they

the

support
because the phone is out of warrantee, It is a hand-me-down, and at

I have already tried:
forget this and resetting the network on the phone.
