How come I am using 3G at home?

[SweetPoison]

I think I always use my wifi at home. For a while I could not even log on then I tried Colin's suggestions below, and now I can but 3G only...


Not good. I don't want to run out of 3G as I need it when I am out in the field.


And yes, I upgraded days ago ~

- Sometimes after you perform a upgrade from say iOS 3. to iOS 4.2 *the iPad or iPhone wifi or 3G speeds *may be slow.*
- This is an easy fix which does work. Please do the following:
-*
1. Go to Settings->General->Reset
2. Then select "Reset Network Settings" (this will not erase ur devices content, music, videos, email, etc. It will only erase any WiFi networks you have defined).
3. Once your device completes the action and gives you the normal home screen or Passcode screen, go ahead and power your device down and once you are sure the device is fully powered down wait an additional 60sec to allow internal components to fully discharge.
4. After the 60sec is up, power on your device again and re-add any encrypted WiFi networks you had defined.
5. Enjoy the "back to normal" WiFi and 3G speeds like you had prior to the OS upgrade.*

And ~


I am in Settings, now, and Wi-Fi on the left, states that it is NOT connected.

Shitums. What's going on?

 

[SweetPoison]

I fixed it. For some reason I had to "choose a network" Why all of a sudden it unchose my network!

Who in the hell knows...

But now it says on the left side in settings, Wi-Fi then linksys, which is my thingy through Comcast.

Electronics! Goodness!

 

[SweetPoison]

I may have fixed it but it is really really slow, where it was very very fast!

Very annoyed.

 

[SweetPoison]

Not that one single person cared....lol!

I really fixed it now! The net work shouldnt say Linksky, but Marie, which is what comcast and I set it up with last June. I even found the password on a sticky on my wall!

Why the net work had to be chosen all over again is beyond me. But all things are as they should be.

Very very FAST!

I wanna thank everyone for all the help! LoL!

Wait till you get facetime Marie.
Then you can see the old possum in all his glory.......

Well, glad you got it resolved. I don't have 3G on my iPad but would want it rapidly resolved too!
Only quirk I had with the 4.3 update is that my GMail account had to be deleted and re-added. It was no big deal, just odd, but my inbox disappeared. It's fine now. My wifi behaves fine-finds my home network the same.

How cool would that be?

Yes I did resolve it. All by myself I might add! That'll never happen again. That was strange you had to re-add your gmail account.

Glad it worked out though!

 

[zorah]

Yep! Since adding e-mail accounts are seamless and a matter of just putting in the e-mail address and password, it's no big deal and seemed the most logical fix, and thankfully that was the case. I figured trying to look further into it would take twice the amount of time. I also have a Yahoo account and that one was fine, so don't know what it was, but glad it is fine now.

 

[kramrengaw]

To answer the original question, the reason you had to re-add your network was because the procedure you followed as described in your original post:

"... It will only erase any WiFi networks you have defined).....
.... and re-add any encrypted WiFi networks you had defined."

Fun to see y'all havin so much fun. Just a personal observation with self. The only person that gets upset when I do ... is guess Who? So I have gotten to the point of don't sweat it. And it is always the small stuff that seems to be so irritating. And guess what, in my world it is all small stuff. Blaming doesn't seem to change anything at all ... like the weather doesn't care what I think... traffic seems to be similar.

Have fun. Profanity which I have noticed some poster like to use, doesn't really communicate, just irritate, instead... not blaming, just observing.

Y'all have a great day. Thanks for sharing.
