Reachability Not Detecting WiFi

Question

I am having issues with Reachability not detecting that Wifi is active connection. I have the standard Reachability class imported in my project, and on the action I perform I detect if Wifi is available to determine which action to actually perform.

    Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName:@"www.google.com"];
             NetworkStatus status = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus];
             NSLog(@"%i", status);
             if (status == ReachableViaWiFi) {
//do wifi action
}
else {
//do non wifi action
}

No matter what, it always performs the else action. The log for the status returns '2'. Any thoughts what may be going on?

UPDATE: After much testing, I have determined that for some reason, WWAN and WIFI are reversed on this app. When running on a real device with wifi turned off, it shows connection status as WIFI and when connected to a WIFI network it shows connection status as WWAN.

@rezand yes i did. The header for Reachability shows this versions: File: Reachability.h Abstract: Basic demonstration of how to use the SystemConfiguration Reachablity APIs.

alright i havent used it yet but ive been meaning to im going to copy your code and see what results i get and how to fix if no one answers by then.. — rezand
What's odd is I have used this code before and never had this issue, and even in past projects with same code it doesn't behave like this. — user717452
perhaps google is down for the day to mess up your programming...yeah its strange and going to be something ridiculously minor when you figure it out — rezand

we took a look at the programming and narrowed it down to a switch case issue, reachability was returning 2 but the switch case inside another class returned "wwan" instead of "wifi" for case 2, please check this answer or close this question so others will not try to answer a solved problem, Thank You.
