After iOS 17.4 update Wi-Fi doesn't work on iPhone 14 Pro Max

I would really like to know what else people have tried, I don’t have a VPN, I have factory reset everything, twice. I have done the forget and reset network settings nothing is working for me. I have a IPhone 12 so I don’t understand what’s going on.

This worked for me!! To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. There was a VPN for McAfee and once I deleted it, my phone instantly connected to Wifi.

I lost WiFi after 17.3 I’m personally hoping 17.4 update resolves whatever apple messed up. I even had my phone checked out to make sure hardware wasn’t broken.

WiFi greyed out and I lost Bluetooth. All support could recommend was buying a new phone. I deleted vpn, reset network settings, and tried a backup from a year prior. Whatever apple did seriously messed up a lot of phones. The fact that they can’t put a patch out when so many customers are having issues is pretty sad.

It worked for me after changing the DNS to public IP 8.8.8.8 and it worked. Settings-->WiFi-->Select your WiFi information--> Configure DNS --> Manual --> 8.8.8.8

Thank you! This fixed my issue but would still like to understand what happened! Can someone from Apple respond please??

Yes!! Deleting VPN on IPhone 14 worked - thank you!! Sorry for the exclamations, but there was serious fury here and so thank you again- my husband is no longer scared of me

Excuse my ignorance, but if deleting the VPN is what fixes it, does that mean we shouldn’t reinstall a VPN until Apple decides to clean up their mess?

Thank you! It worked!

It worked for me. Thank you so much.

Thank you! Same issue!! 13 pro max.

I was on the phone and texting yesterday with support for many hours. Finally setup an appointment to take in. Searched and ran across your post. Worked like a charm…… canceled my appointment. 😊 I did pass this along at work in case others have the same problem.

Thanks. That was also working for me. I posted the link to this discussion also on the german Apple user forum, where I originally asked the same question about the wifi problem after updating to 17.4.

Same issue on 14 Pro. Working for one of the leading networking companies, I’d think Apple would check to make sure VPN worked with an update. But hey, maybe they want to more easily see what you are doing online…
