My iPhone cannot connect with the WiFi since the update IOS 14.1.. What can I do?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Any WiFi router that has MAC filter enabled may not accept the “Private” MAC address feature of the new feature added in iOS 14.0.1 to each WiFi profile saved. Turning off the private Mac Address on the specific WiFi profile may allow your device to connect.
Another issue is it connects fine but moments later it prompts for password on a saved profile. Turning off “wifi assist” in Cellular settings (absolute bottom of the list) will allow the device to remain connected on weaker range areas of this wifi profile.
I suspect the failing over to WiFi profile flip flopping is triggering a false positive on the algorithm that the wifi profile saved is incorrect and thus asks for a re-authentication.
obviously, the Apple update is not the culprit. If it was it would affect millions of iPhones, and there would be thousands of posts about it.
Thanks for sending the screenshot. As a method of elimination, I would try using one of the bottom two options WPA2/WPA Personal or Enterprise. Curious if your WiFi will remain stable after switching to that.
I have a WiFi router and a wifi extender. I constantly find that I am connected to WiFi but there is no internet. As a quick fix I have to deselect and then enable WiFi for my iPhone and it will connect back to the internet. A more permanent solution was to connect to my router and change my router channel to channel 11. This fixed my internet and now I am always connected.
Hi, have you tried to alter DNS definition on your iphone in WiFI where you are facing with issue? If you change DNS to manuel and set Google dns it may work.
i have also attached my phones dns setup screenshoot. I hope it works for you too!

I reset my network and it worked
If you have a vpn configuration try deleting it.. worked for me
I had the same issue, but I read here somewhere to disable the wifi Assist on your mobile data. this seems to have worked. I am now connected an all devices for almost 2 hours.
go to settings/privacy/local network and uncheck All!!!
go to router settings and delete any DNS addresses to blank
I have tried all other listed solutions nothing worked just the above. Good luck!
I had the same wifi issue in 14.01 connecting to my iPhone but with the latest update on 14.1 I'm now able to connect wifi without any issues. Thanks
I had the Norton VPN on my phone. I canceled that part of the download and everything came up.
if you Delete any and all VPN’s on your phone, this should fix the issue. You really don’t need a VPN on your phone.
good luck!
Unistall completely any and all VPN on your phone and that should fix the problem.
Try to uninstall ALL vpn's on your phone. Don't just shut them off, you have to uninstall them. That worked for me.
Good luck!
“SOLVED” (yes, quote-unquote): After having tried everything myself (including but not limited to deleting VPN services, turning off WiFi assist, resetting network setting, factory reset+recovering from backup), the people at the local Apple store scratched their heads as their diagnostics showed that my WiFi unit was not working (but the Bluetooth was fine), and didn’t know what else to do other than to perform yet another factory reset WITHOUT recovering using my backup, thus setting it up as a new device...
I'm happy for you. But I believe that if this really were the right and effective solution for everyone, this debate would have been over for many weeks. Unfortunately, that is not the case. So far, the only really effective solution in any case, is just to initialize the iPhone and reconfigure from scratch, without using any backups. Remedy certainly decisive... but what a disaster!
