 donoreoPremium join:2002-05-30 North York, ON | [iPhone] iOS 6.0.2 for iPhone 5 and iPad Mini only(?) Apple has released an iOS update for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, bringing the iOS version for those devices up to 6.0.2. The release notes for the iPhone says an unnamed Wi-Fi bug has been fixed. » www.macrumors.com/2012/12/18/app···-fi-bug/» support.apple.com/kb/HT1222-- The irony of common sense, it is not that common. I cannot deny anything I did not say. A kitten dies every time someone uses "then" and "than" incorrectly. I mock people who give their children odd spelling of names. |

I'll check WPA2 enterprise tomorrow. Yes, at home the signal strength of my two access points seems to jive with reality more (eg the closer one displays a stronger signal now, imagine that). I'll have to wait until Thursday to see how the open wifi spot at work works... But I'm hopeful! -- ♬ Music is life ♬ |

 MikePremium,Mod join:2000-09-17 Pittsburgh, PA kudos:1 | Oh yeah how about that. I'm at full strength where I used to have drops.
I wonder if its more stable or tweaked the display settings? |

What wifi-related problems are you having with your iPad 2? Since iOS 6x my iPad 2 has spotty WiFi performance on AT&T hotspots like Starbucks has. I can sit in Starbucks and my iP4S on iOS6 doesn't miss a beat yet the iPad will connect for a while then, even with WiFi bars showing it will not be able to download anything for 5 mins then it works again. This is very consistent behavior. It could be SB changed something in their router but it seems a coincidence.

What wifi-related problems are you having with your iPad 2? I didn't say I was having problems. It was my understanding that these Wi-Fi problems stemmed from IOS6, so why no update for the 2,3, or4? -- Not many people know this, but I happen to be quite famous... |

What wifi-related problems are you having with your iPad 2? I didn't say I was having problems. It was my understanding that these Wi-Fi problems stemmed from IOS6, so why no update for the 2,3, or4? Was just curious -- I would expect that if the wifi problem were solely related to the firmware, I would see the same issues on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2 but I don't. My iPad 2 has been rock solid wrt to wifi where my iPhone 5 has not for the exact same access points and physical locations. -- ♬ Music is life ♬ |

| reply to donoreo So, yes, my iPhone 5's wifi is better now with 6.0.2 than it was (at work and at home), probably as good as my iPhone 4 was at work so that's good.
But... (and I'm not entirely sure) I may be seeing this (new) issue

Seemed like my battery was a lot lower over night last night and didn't recharge as well on the way in to work... I'll be keeping an eye at for that, I guess... -- ♬ Music is life ♬ |

| reply to donoreo Does this mean that the iPad Mini and iPhone 5 will be wifi compatible with NetGear and Apple wireless routers?
I was hoping for a fix with the iPhone 4...can't get everything you want. -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein |
