The strength of the WiFi signal can be easily verified by checking the status bar just to the left of the time, if there are 2 or 3 bars then it’s fine, if there is only 1 maybe it could be a problem. Most likely the WiFi is simply slow, when I spent a lot of time at the hospital with my wife last year during the time she got monitored for her seizures we found the same thing at Foothills Hospital in Calgary. In fact, on the iPhone the WiFi connection was constantly lost, my laptop stayed connected a lot better, but it was simply super slow and we just used data most of the time. At that point we had 9 Gb of data between 3 users where one of them, my store’s manager, hardly used any, and we went over and I had to buy some extra. This year we both are on a plan which gives each of us 6 Gb a month and we are going back at the end of October for more of the same and possibly epilepsy surgery so hopefully this will be better, I haven’t checked yet if our stay will mostly be in one billing period, if it is partly in one and partly in another I don’t think we’ll have too many problems even if we use a lot of data. I would recommend that Terri should download the Speedtest app from Ookla and run it when connected to WiFi. Don’t forget that at a hospital you are sharing this WiFi most likely with hundreds or, if it’s a big hospital, maybe even a thousand or more people.

That and you’re talking about a building that’s probably got super thick walls that isn’t teribly conducive to a strong wifi.

However, I have some strange issues, and I don't understand why. If I try to listen to stuff in my music library, or go to he App Store, with the wireless connection on, the App Store won't connect, and my music won't play. But if I just use my cellular data, things seem to work better. Also, I have problems with receiving my email, when I use the wifi. What could be going on? Why might this happen? I know from others, and from being in this hospital before, that the wifi isn't very good. However, I've never seen it like this. Anyone have any ideas? Can I do anything to make things work better? I haven't updated to 11. Also, I've never used this iPhone here.
