iPhone 5s won't stay connected to WiFi

[Anonymous]

For some reason my iPhone 5s won't stay connected to my WiFi. 

It's really annoying as I keep having to reconnect, and it sometimes takes ages to find the network again. I never had this problem with my 4s, it would stay connected at all times unless I disconnected it myself.

I know it's not a problem with my WiFi as my mum and dad stay connected with no problems, and my laptop remains connected.

Any ideas? Has anyone else had this problem?  Thank you.

It may sound like a silly question but do you have a cover on your phone?  My wifi connection on my iPhone 5s was very poor and kept going off but since i've taken the cover off it - it has a brilliant wifi connect.

Also, have you updated your router settings? Failing that, how old is your router? Last year I had a netgear router and it was a few years old and it really did not like the iPhone 5 and signal was always poor or non existant on the iPhone 5 but it was good on the iPhone 4s.
