Manually Connect To 5G WiFi

Hello there,


I recently have gotten a new WiFi router, and I only use 5G because I want to use my full gigabit speeds. I have been having a problem where my iPhone will not auto-connect and I have to manually connect every time I leave my wifi network. I have full signal, and I live in an apartment complex that has many wifi signals around.


Thanks!

Is there another network nearby or in a location that you visit with the same SSID? That’s the most common cause of this problem. After that, try rebooting your router.
