Had very same issue withy wife's 4S, which is now on route to Apple via warranty repair! It's a known issue with 4S hers was new in April but had started to drop wifi before update to IOS 7 been told possible chip overheat but there are so many fables going around you wouldn't know what to believe! Funny thing is the phone refused to allow wifi switch on for a week after update but after ringing apple support on sat last and booking collection of phone it's since fixed itself??? Also had flash issues since update (fog effect on flash pic taken in dark lighting), so still sent it off. Been told will probably get new phone in a week as its cheaper for apple than repairing old one!!! Cough wonder what the bottom line on one is???

Update to above.
Phone returned no faults found, then 5 days later fault returns, lost wifi for about 4 days, its back again now but it's booked to go back to apple now. Not happy with being messed around, apple know the issue is real. I shot a short video of trying to access the wifi which I will email to them now to back up our claim. As the fault is intermittent I don't want it coming back again because the fault didn't present itself.
