wifi problem on iphone

    hi there guys hope you can help

    I have a jailbroken iphone running 1.1.3, the problem is when i connect to an adhoc wifi network and sometime to a wireless router the connection lasts about 10 secs and then reverts to looking for edge connection. After a bit of research it seems this problem might be associated with the 1.1.3 firmware, has anybody else experienced this.

    I am thinking of upgrading or down grading the firmware but want to know if anyone has had similar problems with 1.1.4 or 1.0.3 etc.

    all help greatly appreciated

    Have had both 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and never experienced an issue with either. The only time it has switched to looking for Edge is when the wifi signal is low and drops out.

    try resetting all network settings

    Have you tried to connect without using DHCP

    do you have security on the connection try it without it




    Failing all that try sticking it in the fridge for 20 minutes to cool down see if Wifi works after that

    If the phone was originally 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 then best way forward is to use bootnueter to get back to 4.6 then restore to 1.1.4 then use iliberty+ or if you have a mac use pwnage but probably won't fix wifi issue

    just to let you guys know incase you maybe having a similar problem, i went ahead & upgraded to 1.1.4 jailbroke the phone re-installed ssh, bsd etc and have no problems at all since, coonects perfectly to my ad-hoc wifi network doesn't connect and then drop the connection immediatly like before, can ssh into my iphone too so im over the moon typing this on my iphone at the moment the first time i've managed to do anything on the web with my iphone
    :D
