IOS 7 bug or my Router?

[andrewj0781]

Ever since I've update my iPhone 5 to IOS 7 once in awhile it will drop wifi. Renew lease won't work. I turned wifi off and on that won't fix it. Today I tried forget this network and couldn't sign back on. The only fix was to restart my phone. Does this sound like the issue is with the phone or an issue with my router?

Going on how you described the issue I would say phone.

Thank you. I was thinking the same but just wanted someone else's opinion.

Turns out my router was to blame. It was dropping witless of and on and there must of been an issue with the iPhone reconnecting. Returned it for a replacement no more issues.

Always good to find the cause of intermittent problems!

My wife's phone has done something similar since upgrading to iOS 7. She has to constantly connect to the wifi at home when she gets home as it won't connect automatically. It's only our home network that it does it. She's already tried forgetting it and readding it; same deal.

You might try Settings--> General--> Reset--> Reset Network Settings

When we first got my wife her iPad 3 it would not stay connected to our Netgear router. I finally threw in the towel and bought an Airport Extreme. No further problems.
