iPhone 4 Wi-Fi Issues?
No idea if this is my Wi-Fi or the iPhone 4 -- but it's not happening with my Nexus One.
When in between two of my routers, it keeps losing Wi-Fi connection -- even though two are in range. It then asks for the password to one or the other (seemingly at random). This is odd, because it has the correct passwords for both.
But, the real odd part: It can't login to whichever one it's asking for the password to. I can switch routers and that works to get back on Wi-Fi. But it absolutely refuses to accept the password for whichever one it has lost its mind with.
Until it switches which one it lost its mind with. Then it's the reverse of whatever was happening. This just keeps happening. Every day. The iPad doesn't suffer from this. Though, the iPad actually supports 802.11n, so I connect to a different router with it.
The iPhone 4 can't see my N routers that are on 2.4Ghz. They use upper channels, not the normal G channels, so they don't interfere with G (and vice versa). This cuts out the supported devices, but still works great with the iPad and laptops that have real 802.11n support.
Could be the routers. But since the problem alternates, I doubt it. This never happened with the iPhone first-gen, either, or the iPod touch. Very strange.
