WiFi problems

My IPhone 6, fully updated (12.4.5) , will only work with my WiFi when I’m next to my router but no in my room or kitchen 10 feet away. Any help?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Phone won’t connect to wifi unless next to router For about 6 months now my iPhone X hasn’t been connecting to WiFi networks unless I am next to the router, if I move farther than 5m away from the router my phone loses connection. I know that it is not a problem with the router as I’ve moved locations multiple times and it is always the same thing. I’ve thought that it may be a problem inside the phone as it was dropped by a friend shortly before the problem arose. Looking for advice on what to do as it has rendered my phone somewhat useless…

Try power cycling your router to reset it, then try connecting the iPhone after the router has completed rebooting. This may also help, If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
