Why won't my Iphone stay connected to Wi-Fi?

I own and iPhone 4s and just recently updated it to the iOS 6. When I go Wi-Fi settings I press my Wi-Fi of choice, and it connects to it; for like two seconds, and then it defaults back to my 4G. I know my router is completely fine because I have reset that, and my laptop is running off of it now completely fine. I have already tried the "forget network" method. And the Settings-> General-> Reset->Reset Network Settings method. Neither of which worked.

Does it have anything to do with my update?

Yes it appears to be a bug you are not the only one. Kind of irks me too.

Plugging it back into the computer (mac) that updated the phone and letting it sync worked for me. It connected to Wi-Fi fine when I connected it via cable… Odd.

Turn you Wi-Fi off and back on will fix your problem had the same issue hope this helps

I've tried resetting the network on my 4s, I've tried turning Wi-Fi off then back on, I've tried restarting my phone, I've tried plugging it in to my computer, and it sometimes connects to my home Wi-Fi for like 5 sec then it disconnects and reconnects over and over! It never stays on long enough for me to use it! When I first got my phone it worked pretty good but now it sucks! I don't know what's up… It's really annoying though!

Oh and my Wi-Fi gets stuck on off also! It's grayed out so I can't turn it on and off! That's super annoying too!

My Wi-Fi isn't working, period. I turn on the Wi-Fi and it searches, and searches, and searches, and searches and fails to find it and if it does it's for a faction of a second

I'm having exactly the same issues. IPhone 4s will not stay connected to wi-fi, sometimes on/off switch is grayed, most often it just searches and searches without ever finding wi-fi. I spent 2 hours with Apple support yesterday and all I ended up doing was restoring the phone, then updating my iOS (which I didn't want to do) and the problem is not better at all! Angry!

Make sure your http proxy is set to off on your phone.

go to wifi setting click on the i with circle around it it will take you to a new page and you choose auto connect

  • Why won't my Wi-Fi stay connected on my iPhone? Everyone in my house has an iPhone. My phone is the only phone that constantly disconnects from the Wi-Fi every 10-15 minutes. I tried resetting the network and everything.
  • Why won't my iPhone 6 stay connected to the wi-fi? When it says its connected it works fine. But it connects then disconnects then connects then disconnects. Auto connect is on. It doesn't do this all the time. Doesn't do it with any other devices I have. Just the iPhone.
  • Why won't my iPhone 5s connect/stay connected to my Wi-Fi? I have reset phone back to factory settings. I have reset network settings. It connects briefly then disconnects and says it can't join network. It's recently started telling me I have an incorrect password (I'm typing it correctly) Both my laptop and tv are having no problems connecting. Hopefully someone can help me out. I won't be able to go into Verizon until the weekend. And if it's something I can fix on my own, I would rather do so.
  • Why won't my iPhone 4S stay connected to Wi-Fi? Every time I'm connected to Wi-Fi and then lock my screen the Wi-Fi isn't connected anymore. So then I have to go to setting and reconnect every time. How can I stay connected to Wi-Fi even when I lock my screen.
