terminals iPhone 5 they have already started reaching the hands of users and some are complaining about problems related to Wi-Fi networks. It seems that for some users the transfer speeds through Wi-Fi networks are very low, the problem seems to be related to the WPA2 security protocol. Connecting to routers that have it active can significantly reduce data transfer speed, but the use of protocols such as WEP solves the problem, and in the image above you can see that I do not encounter it. I don't use the WPA2 protocol to secure the router, but I will test the problem today to see if it really has something to do with it.
I just got done setting up my iPhone 5 (as new, not restored). I was trying to download my music from iTunes when it seemed to be taking forever. I canceled the downloads and then kept testing the WiFi in various other ways. Just loading the app store, my iPhone 4 will load anything faster than my iPhone 5 right now. I've rebooted the router and tried multiple devices and have narrowed the problem down to the WiFi in the iPhone 5. I've also tried using different bands, 2.4 and 5 both produce the same outcome. I launched the speedtest.net app about 2 minutes ago and hit begin test. Its still "finding the closest server". I have also tried the reset network settings. Still the same issue.
Regardless of the cause of the problem, Apple engineers are aware of its existence and are working on a possible solution, so everything depends on the new iOS 6. Considering that iPhone 5 and iOS 6 have just appeared on the market, Apple will wait a few weeks before releasing iOS 6.0.1 to solve as many of the problems encountered by users as possible, and if you encounter this one, you know its cause and how you can solve it.
