No Wifi Service

I am just wondering do you mean no Wifi service with the phone company or do you mean no Wifi service anywhere? Can you use any Wifi service available or does that have to be with the cell phone provider? I am also a novice and I am curious.

Wi-fi issues with os 2.2 3G

I got a 3G iphone 8G that has version 2.2(5G77) firmware 02.28.00 . I noticed that this iphone keeps dropping wi-fi signal. I have an older iphone 2G that is having full signal throughout my apt. but the 3G does not. Even in the same room where the router is I don't have full signal on the 3G. All my Iphones are unlocked and jailbroken both have Cyndia. Could be this wifi issue fixed by downgrading to 2.1 on the 3G ? If so what is the easiest way?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

M.
