Hi Jaja funker jo,


We understand that your iPhone XR currently disconnects from Wi-Fi when using FaceTime. Does this happen with any other apps, or just FaceTime? If it's only happening with FaceTime, does the call drop when this happens, and do any other devices in the home experience the same problem?


If you have administrator access to your Wi-Fi router, let's use the steps below to make sure your router is configured correctly.


Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points


Please let us know if the behavior improves after updating the settings.


Best regards!

"Only" with facetime (audio) calls, Call drops when it happens. Two other Xr have the same issue.

My wifi network is Google Wifi (mesh) with 4 units. There are not many settings to change here and I looked at the advices in link.

Its drops even when I'm not moving and are close to any of the access points.

However I have issues with Skype dropping unexpectedly also, but have not noticed that the wifi disconnects as with facetime audio.
