Since I upgraded to iOS 6 my Wi-Fi keeps randomly disconnecting.

I have an iPhone 5 and another family member of mine also has an iPhone 5.

His iPhone 5's Wi-Fi doesn't randomly disconnect.

The only difference is when he upgraded from iOS 5 to iOS 6, he did it via iTunes where as I did it OTA.

Anyone know how I can stop my Wi-Fi from randomly disconnecting on my iPhone 5?

I was thinking this but I don't have a link to iOS 5.

Don't like third party links either.

I thought iPhone 5 was released before iOS 6?

I just got a 6.0.2 for my Iphone5 which is to fix wi-fi. But, I've never had any problems with wi-fi disconnecting.

The Wi-Fi disconnects when the phone enters sleep/lock mode to reserve battery in iOS 6. I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6 and to be honest, I hate the battery reservation. :/

The bug I have is where Wi-Fi just randomly disconnects on sleep mode or not.

I'm taking phone back anyways due to a red light problem so hopefully they will fix the Wi-Fi as well.

I'll mark the thread solved and if it isn't after my appointment I will mark it as unsolved asking for more help.

Thanks for all your help everyone.
