    Does anyone with an iPhone 4 have a problem where you lose wifi pretty regularly? My home network is fairly stable and yet I notice that my phone will lose connection to it. And I'm unable to reconnect unless I reboot the phone.

    My jailbroken iphone 4, 4.2.1, seems to lose wifi a lot, but it just reconnects itself after a few seconds.
    It was grand on jailbroken 4.1.

    Happening on my IPhone 4 jailbreak 4.2.1. Thought it was just the wifi in work but happening at home aswell. I can go back into settings and select the network again but it's such a pain!!!

    Turning Airplane mode on and off sorted it for me. I have had no problems since jailbreaking 4.2.1.

    I have a problem with my home network in that I'll have a connection but I can't get web access. Have to airplane mode on/off again.

    Only happens at home, and only if I've been at home for a while but not using the phone (i.e. overnight). Doesn't happen on any other network, so I'm assuming it's some kind of odd incompatibility between my router and the phone. It happened on both my 3G and my iP4 and only when I bought a new router last year. :)

    My home wifi has stopped working.
    On the top of the screen where it show the wifi symbol there appears a little circle. 3G still works though. Any advice?

    First thing I'd always do is reboot the home router. No joy, then airplane mode on/off. No joy again, then restart your phone.

    If it's still not working then, do a network settings reset. This will delete any remembered network connections. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

    The little circle symbol just indicates that you're on GPRS (rather than 3G), it will change to 3G when your coverage improves.
