I have to be right next to my router for my iPhone 6 to work
So, I got a new iPhone 6 for Christmas but the Wi-Fi doesn't work unless I'm right beside the router. I've tried it in shops/mates houses and it's the luck of the draw I guess, sometimes it works, others it doesn't (as in, in some places) I've reset factory/network settings and Munich router TOO many times!
Can anyone help before I send the phone back to Apple?
This sounds like a typical case of incompatibility between your iPhone and your router's Wi-Fi. Symptoms vary between not even detecting the network right through to slow, or erratic connections.
It sounds as though your phone has problems with some but not all other Wi-Fi networks. Your best solution is to install a Wireless Access Point connected to your router. Set the WAP to use the same Wi-Fi settings as the router, then turn off the router's own Wi-Fi.
Check out different WAPs to find one that works properly with your phone.
There's an alternative, set the WAP with a different network name (SSID) and use that just for your phone keeping the existing network for other devices. Make sure the WAP and router are operating a minimum of 4 channels apart.
There are a couple of tweaks that you can do that might help this known problem;

- What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
