Well Peter, I think you have the best answer to why the problem is
occurring. It is certainly better than anything I was able to come up with.
Perhaps the only fix may happen on the release of iOS6

Hi folks,
Here are my thoughts on this issue.
It seems that this issue came alive in ios 5.1.1 on some ios devices.
I've seen this on a ipad, ipad2, iphone 3gs and iphone 4.
My 4s seems not to have this problem.
Also it seems that it is independently from which accesspoint you use.
I'm using a cisco and had this problem. A friend of my has a linksys and
has the same issue.
It seems that Apple has implemented some powersaving features in their
wifi drivers of at least made some changes.
If I don't use my ipad2 for a while, it has disconnected from the wifi.
When I start an app that needs network connectivity, it connects again
without any problems.
this leads to miss some push notifications and stuff. It seems that the
implementation for a 4s is slidely different.
This is the only thing I can think of causing this problem.
Just my thoughts and hopefully apple will fix this in a new release. ;)

I have had similar issues with my iPhone 4 on my Verizon fios router,
though I'm not sure which brand it is or anything like that. It also
seems that iDevices have more issues with wifi connections than most
others. For example, I can run wifi on my laptop or macbook all day
and never have a connectivity issue. This is both at work and at home.
My iPhone, on the other hand, drops the connection regularly and is
annoying when I'm trying to do Facetime, for example. So the
frustrations you're experiencing are not happening to just you. I've
tried resetting the router, resetting my network settings on the
phone, all to no satisfactory solution. I've honestly given up.

Hello,
I have experienced simular issues, though in my case, I have only
experienced connectivity issues when connected to a router supplied by
AT*T.
I wonder if folks could chime in with which internet providers they have
experienced problems with. I am not trying to say a particular company
is
the problem, it could be the same brand of router or another issue
altogether. I am going to get the brand of router which I have had
problems
with. Maybe we will figure out a piece of this very strange puzzle.

Mary,
I strongly agree on securing your router. If some one makes use of
your
network for unlawful activities, it is you who will be answerable.
The behavior you are experiencing since the upgrade is not uncommon.
Several people I know, including two on my own plan have had this
experience and reported it to both AT&T and Apple. Both companies deny
the problem, yet the reports continue. One phone was replaced; on mine
the problem seem to resolve. The tip off on my own phone was a 185 meg
download charged to my data plan at a time when the phone was several
feet from the WIFI router. You can bet I did not pay for the overage.
I suspect there is an issue involving the current OS version and
certain
routers.

Hi Mari,
First, that "unsecured router's not a good idea, the 54G's easy to
configure. But as to your connection not being consistent, try
changing
wireless channels.

I have the Iphone 4 and 4s, in addition I have a home wireless network
that
is unsecure. My router is a Lynksis wrt54G2 after updating the Iphone
4
to
IOS 5 i noticed that the wireless connection would just drop with out
sudden
warning, I had never had that happen before. I have been back and
forth
with
Apple and ATT who both say its not the device, the iphone 4 is two
years
old
and I recently upgraded to the 4s I noticed the same issue the iphone
4s
could not keep an active connection the router...
Now, I do have a few computers / laptop connected just fine to the
router.
Could it be that since the firmware is not up to date on the router
that
could be the issue, or could it be the router itself as maybe some
security
settings are not the "newest" or settings need to changed to work
better
with Iphone's? I really need help as I use my Iphone constantly and
would
like to be able to run off wifi.
