Also the iPhone HATES WEP encryption. I would check on that too.

I found out 3.0 does NOT work on any N type router.

if I knew that I would not have done the update.

I also work using wifi scanner guns from a large wallmart - Asds store
before update I could detect 98 wifi connections after update "0".

I also found out that 3GS has the same fault.

apple have screwd up with 3.0 and I hope folk read this and go else where for there phone I wish I did its a pile of crap without wifi.

3G is very slow at times and customer end care sucks.

My home WiFi is WEP and my iPhone has always worked exceptionally well with it. When I go to my friends' homes, they all have WEP and (once they give me the passphrase) it always connects automatically--every time, with absolutely no problems.

So, I can confidently say that iPhone LOVES WEP encryption.

Id have to disagree, but maybe its just my phone. My home network was WEP and it would be really buggy. Took it into a genius as I thought the phone was broken and he told me to change to WPA2 (may have the acronym wrong) as WEP since the 2.2 update has been buggy with the iPhone.

So I've read through some of these pages but 85 is quite a lot - my question is how is 3.0 running on the original iPhone? Some people are telling me to upgrade and others are telling me to stick with 2.2.1.

It does run, but with limitations...no MMS (ever), no stereo bluetooth...

I would upgrade...its free and you get copy and paste and sms forward etc. I am sure there is a full list of 3.0 limitations for the first gen iPhone somewhere
