Yeah I have the same problem. I get the little blue dot as well, if not the 3G symbol. Other than that I can't connect to wifi at all. I'll try ask Maxis as well, since my phone wasn't bought from there I hope they can repair it for me.

I suggest taking it to maxis and asking them to clear your 3G settings and see if the wifi kicks back on. If not, you have the same problem as me and I have no idea how to fix it!

Hope yours and my problem works out~

Check your wireless router and make sure that dcip client has your iphone inside. Another suggestion is to change the channel of your wireless router.

How do i fix the broken wifi? Without going to the Genius as they wont fix it in Australia.

I have upgrade to version 3.0.1,still no wifi.

I have the wifi address,but i still cant connect to any wifi network.Tried whatever Apple put on their site and nothing works.

Is there any solution to that?

i got prob which i connected to wifi but no internet access when i browsing

Damn,im stuck with a wifi-less i-Phone.

Replace new wifi chip then.

Dear All,

I'm a proud owner of an Apple IPhone 3G for 2 weeks, when all of a sudden my wifi is not working anymore. When I switch off and on my Iphone again, to my suprise when I go to settings->General at the wifi settings it stated that No Wifi.

I went online and search every resource I can find. A lot of Apple Iphone owners is also facing the same problem. They all offered solutions like, delete all network settings, delete all data on the phone, restore and even re jailbreaking but to no avail. Some even came up with the crazy idea of putting the phone into the freezer!! Cause said something about a telco comp staff from abroad told one guy that the 3.0 firmware fried the wifi chip or something.

I'm posting this hoping the guys here in malaysia has had any luck in solving this problem and can offer me a solution.

I would like to apologize to the admin if someone else has already posted this topic but this is my first time here and I am hoping that this topic may help other Iphone users from malaysia too.

So guys and gals if you have ever encountered this problem before and has solved it, whether firmware or hardware.

Please let me know. Thanks.


Regards,


Robin

First, sync your iPhone or iPod touch to iTunes to backup your user information, Contacts, Calendar, and other data. Then try the following steps in order.

One
On the device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Check to see if the device now displays the Wi-Fi address or Bluetooth address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address or Bluetooth). If there is a Wi-Fi address and a Bluetooh address, then you're done with these steps and you can resync your settings and your media using iTunes.

If there's still no Wi-Fi address or Bluetooth address, then continue to step two.

Two
On the device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Check to see if the device now displays the Wi-Fi address and Bluetooth address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address or Bluetooth). If there is a Wi-Fi address and Bluetooth address, then you're done with these steps and can resync your settings and your media using iTunes.

If there's still no Wi-Fi dddress or Bluetooth address, then continue to step three.

Three
Restore the iPhone or iPod touch software (this erases all data on the device) using iTunes (see article 305744 for additional assistance).
After the restore is complete, sync your previous settings (mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, and so on).
Now see if your device shows a Wi-Fi address and Bluetooth address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address or Bluetooth).

If there is a Wi-Fi address and Bluetooth address, then you're done with these steps. If there is no Wi-Fi address or Bluetooth address, then continue to step four.

Four
If there is no Wi-Fi address or Bluetooth address listed after doing the above steps, bring your set back to any Maxis centre and claim warranty.

Apple is aware of this issue and thus, you can actually claim warranty if this fails.

Now all you need is luck.

I tried all the steps that I could find in the internet, still cannot. Replace wifi chip? where to replace? My phone I bought from someone here in Lowyat forum.

I also dunno where the set came from. From singapore ka or from where. Any way to check this on my iphone ah?

Refer to part numbers.

But you bought it from here, I think its better for you to PM the forummer to claim warranty.

a lot of iphone users that have the same problem here send back their iphone to the apple....but if the phone that bought is from outside malaysia then i think that u need to find someone that can change the wifi chip..u can ask crxr ( http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=920182&hl= ) (can repair iphone 2g ,3g or 3gs)...have been dealing with him for quite sometime now. Try to pm him

And incase you need to service it yourself, this guy too gets pretty good reviews about his service.

Maybe change Wifi Channel in your Router setting?

users that have problem with their wifi connectivity need to test within a few difference wifi connection...try it at starbuck @ ur home wifi@office wifi or hotel wifi. give it a try...if still not working try to reset all setting...or restore ur phone back or upgrade or downgrade ur firmware which do u think ur wifi working for the last time. If not this case has turn into hardware failure...advise given by other forumers that users need to send the iphone to the provider such as MAXIS and SINGTEL....if not users can have other option that is repair with lyn forumer that provided services for repairing iphone.

For people who can connect at other sites but not at home. Please try some basic troubleshooting. Disable WEP or WPA and change the channel to it's default channel of 6. Do not use high number channels like 10 and above since most of asian or UK clients cannot connect to this US standard channel.

Also please check if you can connect with your other gadgets like laptop or other phones. If all cannot then it's the router, if some clients can connect, maybe that problematic client doesn't support certain parameters of the wifi ap.

If your wifi ap has certain new technology like speed boost and compression, please do disable those settings.
