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.
