My average connection speed went up from 15 mbps to somewhere between 50 and
100. It was my ISP, and they did give me a different router/modem. I know
that my WiFi signal is stronger than it was, whatever the reason.

Subject: Re: configuring wifi vs. cellular
I don't think you're saying this, but the wifi connection has nothing to
do with fibre optic or DSL. DSL is the connection from your house to the
internet. Wifi is the wireless connection within your house. You could
switch from DSL to cable or fibre optic by swapping out modems but still
be using the same router. Of course, you can also get modem/router
units, so when you switch from DSL to cable, you're changing routers and
therefore could impact your wifi connection. This still has to do with
the router though and not the cable or DSL connection itself.

On my previous connection, a DSL broadband, the WiFi signal sometimes

never does. Meanwhile, check that you are in fact connected to WiFi
before you begin your activity that (you believe) requires it. Examples
of such would be online video streams, or perhaps file downloads. There
is a difference between your phone’s WiFI being trned on and its being
connected to your WiFi. (It will say ‘not connected’ ir ‘connected’.)

Hi Alex,
I admit to really not understanding these things, but that’s what I
thought should happen. It’s possible that there’s just too much traffic
for the bandwidth we have. We have two desktop computers connected to
our router and my dad’s caregiver has a laptop as well as a phone . She
spends a lot of time on skype or streaming movies especially in the
evening, and if we are online at the same time we have to do router
resets. It’s worse than having teenagers ... we never had this problem
when our two were home, smile. At any rate, she may be drawing from a
different network. I was mostly wondering if I had missed something in
the settings, but from what you’ve said our best way to solve this may
be tto move, which is in the works, not for this reason. Anyway, thanks
for clarifying that for me.
Susan

The iPhone will always use wifi it it is connected to it. Cellular only
comes in if the wifi drops and a different network can't be found. If
wifi is misbehaving on two devices, I'd look at your router; is the
signal strong enough? Might the channel your router is on be full of
interference from other networks or devices? Is the router okay, but the
internet connection spotty (something your ISP can help troubleshoot)?

Hi listers,
This may seem like a strange question, but how does my phone recognize
whether to use a wifi or cellular signal? I think I have wifi
connected to my home network as it seems to work with Safari, but in
apps like Ootones or the BARD app I get continual timeout messages
when I attempt to download books or, in the case of Ootunes can’t play
high bitrate streams at all. Wifi has been fiddly at times with my
Ipod and I thought this would improve with the iphone, but apparently
not. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Tia.
Susan or the BARD app
