Hi, I have searched through the threads and cant find a thread which explains what happens to my phone here goes.

The iphone i have is a jailbroken 2g.

The iphone picks up the wifi in my sitting room and shows on the screen, once I try and access anything through wifi the the lines become a circle???

Have tried Apple support? I suggest you open a Ticket.

What about other WiFi Networks? Would be the first thing to check for me to find out if that's an iPhone or router problem!

I don't think this has anything to do with the router.

Morganirl, can you please provide a screenshot?

Dont think its the router, cause I use wifi on the laptop all the time, will get the screenshots up shorthly

I have attached 2 pics of the before I open a program and what happens to the wifi when i have opened it. You'll see that it the wifi sigal changes from lines to a circle

Circle shows that your carrier’s GPRS network is available, and iPhone can connect to the Internet over GPRS if EDGE is unavailable. Check iPhone User Guide, page #17

Both means nothing, the iPhone in fact isn't compatible wirh some routers. Had the same problem here. While my MacBook could use WiFi without any problems, the iPhone got kicked out all the time.
For me, the solution was as easy as updating the router's firmware. Now everything is working as supposed to. I would give it a try. If it still doesn't work, I'll repeat it: Go out and try on other networks - perhaps your router is not compatible at all.

How do i go about getting edge, or is there some other program better.

thank you for the info

The router should be compatible, cause my friend has the same model and he has a iphone, not jb though. How do i go about updating the firmware?
