Yesterday I update my Iphone 4s to IOS 7.1.2. I was facing
the wifi problem, It connect for few second and then disconnect and then I am
not able to connect again. So I change the setting of my WIFI. So If you are
facing any problem in WIFI after update. please change the network authentication to "WPA-Personal" or "Mixed WPA2/WPA -PSK".
How to do it:
Setting up WEP, WPA or WPA2 Personal wireless security on a Linksys wireless router

NOTE: The default local IP address of Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1, while the default password is “admin” and user name field is left blank.
QUICK TIP: If you personalized the router's User name and Password, use those credentials instead. If you have lost or forgotten them, you need to reset the router. To learn more about resetting, click here.

Your Linksys router supports four (4) of the most commonly used wireless security modes which you can choose from: WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, and WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode. Here’s a table that best compares the different security types for your reference:
| Security | Rank | Number of Characters |
| WEP Wired Equivalent Protocol | Basic | 40/64-bit (10 characters) 128-bit (26 characters) |
| WPA Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access® Personal | Strong | 8-63 characters |
| WPA2 Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access® 2 Personal | Strongest | 8-63 characters |
| WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode | WPA2: Strongest WPA: Strong | 8-63 characters |
WPA, WPA2, and WPA2/WPA security modes are highly recommended over WEP for a higher level of security. Follow the instructions below to know how to set up each security mode.
