Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
- Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
- Check for sources of potential interference.
- Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
- Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
- Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
- Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
- If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
- If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
