How to solve the problem of connecting the iPhone 5 to the Wi-Fi network

iPhone 5 leaves a mixed impression. On one side is an innovative ultra-thin smartphone form factor with a stunning performance and luxurious screen, and on the other - the gadget affected by a number of birth injuries, including a problem with scratches on the edges of the housing. Another complaint about the new Apple phone was error connecting to the wireless network.

 

Some owners of iPhone 5 are experiencing problems with the Internet through Wi-Fi. Apple Support website full of reports that the new Apple smartphone connected to the access points, but the download from the web can not do anything. Members noted that the LED connection to the router is displayed as usual, but the data transfer - download sites, download applications, access to social networks, etc. - Is impossible. In addition, some owners of iPhone 5 device generally can not connect to Wi-Fi.

The solution, as reported by Gizmodo, is very simple. To phone began to seamlessly connect to the Internet; you must set the Wi-Fi mode WPA/WPA2 to WEP. WPA and WPA2 are the updated certification program for wireless devices, which replaced the security technology WEP. Plus the first is a strengthening data security and strict control of access to wireless networks.

According to reports online support Apple, users who switched routers and access point mode WEP, could get rid of the problems with iPhone 5 to Wi-Fi. The solution, of course, not universal, but has helped many users.

In order to switch the mode of a wireless network, you need to set up a remote connection to a router, go to Settings Wi-Fi security, and change the authentication setting to WPA to WEP.

Internal device connector Lightning in iPhone 5

As with most of the functions of the iPhone 5, the new smaller connector Lightning was known even before the official presentation of the smartphone. True, the blurry picture was hard to understand the new interface - it's not just a compact version of the traditional 30-pin port Apple. The new cable-sided, and a new feature that will add a company that will pay users.

Connector Lightning - an 8-pin standard, but each cable - 16 pin. Thus, as if you did not connect it to the iPhone 5, you get the first time. How is it, told in detail in the publication PCWeek, and it appears that everything is much more complicated than it seems at first glance.

On each side of the Lightning - contacts, numbered from 1 to 8. By checking the experts found that the first top port provides power via USB, and the connectors are symmetrical, that is, the eighth performs the same function. So, if you turn the plug, the contact for the supply will still be in place.

Contact data, however, are quite different, they are asymmetric. That is, if you turn the connector, then they would not be in those places where it is necessary. For example, if you look at the second bottom "pin" for the data, it is electrically connected to the second from the top. So, when you turn the plug, cable ends connect with the wrong contacts smartphone.

Experts attribute this strange circumstance as follows: iPhone 5 dynamically assigns the function "pins" with a special chip inside the phone. Apple said that the connector Lightning uses only the contacts that are needed for specific applications, and accessories. iPhone 5, apparently checks the type of transmitted data and change settings on the fly.

As a result of all this, you can connect the Lightning as you want, and this connector has room for growth in the future. But the complexity of the interface can be explained by the authentication chip inside the cable. It is located on a wire V +, so that without it the cable will not work.

If you think you can easily get a cable from Apple, you need, then you are wrong. Companies do not have enough cable Lightning, and most likely due to the fact that produced them are scarce. Not only because of the difficulties in manufacturing, but also because the cost is much higher than the old 30-pin version. Analysts estimate the cost of Lightning in 3.5 dollars, which is 775% more than the traditional 30-pin cable.
