iPhone 3.0 and Wi-Fi Problems
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 03:00 PM
"Back when iPhone 3.0 launched, we heard Wi-Fi was giving problems to some - primarily iPod touch - users. Various network resets or OS restores seem to have quieted that down, but now TUAW is reporting that the newly launched iPhone 3GS might be suffering Wi-Fi troubles as well."
It's no secret that Wi-Fi is, at best, flawed, in OS 3.0. My 3GS and 3G both have weaker signals than before. I'm not talking about one or two bars, either. I'm talking standing on top of the router and seeing one bar of signal strength and being in the bedroom (the other side of my apartment) and dropping down to one bar when I used to have a full signal. It never drops to 3G, though, which I find interesting.
I'll be curious to see if this is fixed in 3.1 (or 3.01) along with the battery drain issues others have been reporting.
