The Geek Out
Question for you iPhone people. My sister recently got an iPhone 5. Her wifi keeps shutting off on her. She'll turn it on, do whatever, leave it on, but later she'll notice that it's turned off. My niece has the same phone, her wifi stays on with no problem.
Is there an option somewhere that i'm missing to keep it on?

It will go off even when she doesn't leave the house.
My nieces will stay on, go off and connect to Verizon when she leaves, and automatically back to wifi when she comes home.
I did the manual connect. Hours later it will disconnect and never come back until manually connected again.

I narrowed it down to the router. If I connect it to her router then turn off wifi and back on again, it won't reconnect automatically.
If I connect it to my router and then turn off wifi and back on again, it will reconnect.
It's just weird that my nieces will reconnect no problem, but my sisters wont. Same phone, just one is 6 months newer.
I just googled it and nothing but people complaining without a solution. Lots of old posts too.

I'll have to try that tomorrow, but probably won't make a difference. Worth a shot though.

I had trouble with my old 3GS connecting to my brother in law's linksys router, it would connect, then drop the signal then it wouldn't find it anymore. I narrowed it down to the NIC or whatever it is that the iPhone uses for wifi, being faulty.
It could be a issue with the router, but that would be weird unless its does it to other devices also.
By shutting off, do you mean it won't connect to the network, or that the wifi function has to be turned back on?
