iPhone 5 WiFi issue driving me CRAZY!!!

[Elton20]

I keep getting slow internet on my wifi for my iphone 5. It works fine for my computer. It's always painfully slow on youtube but its like lightning on LTE. I hate to use LTE because i have a 4GB limited plan for it and I'm already at 3GB but my next reset day isnt even half here yet. heres a pic of my speed directly from 192.168.1.254 to prove its fast. And as you can see I have at&t uverse. I have updated to 6.0.2 because it said it would fix wifi bugs, obviously not. Please help

What iOS version is your iP5 running?

 

[Elton20]

I said 6.0.2

 

[Thomasjtsi]

I said 6.0.2

My appologies. Didn't see you stated 6.0.2 in your original post.

 

[Thomasjtsi]

When you updated your iP5 to 6.0.2... did you update and restore from a backup or as a New Device?

 

[Elton20]

I went to settings>general>software update and did it like that

issue might not be the phone itself. i did a search with my wifi issues before. problem lies with the router. depending on what router you have, it limits the speed for a device that doesnt have priority, etc (linksys does this ). ur best bet is find out what router you have and flash a new firmware or a custom one.

I sent posted a pic of the scrnshot of the 19.168.1.254 website. I have a uverse router. I guess it's a gateway by 2wire?

The router most likely is old and out of date and therefore does not support the new technology including new playstaions, Xbox, Android and other devices. I suggest replacing the modem with the latest 600 models from Netgear. As this has resolved many issues over the past 2 years.

I got my gateway which supplies my dial tone and high speed Internet in November. It' is a 2wire 3800.

I have noticed a WIFI difference on iphone 5 also, i think it allocates more bandwidth for like downloads vs when your on safari. Ex: I go and download a song in iTunes, and it won't start my app download until it is done. However on my iphone 4 it would do both, and surprisingly faster.
