Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I keep loosing wifi connection on my iPhone 7 the WIFI symbol is shown but no connection. I have followed some tips such as rebooting the phone wifi system entering the router password etc. It seems to reconnect for a while and then looses the signal. Again the wifi symbol is shown. I have another iPhone 8 and that works ok. In addition the iPhone 7 also seems to get hot! Are the two problems interconnected?
Help please?

Hi geomoore,
Thanks for getting back to us with those additional details. We understand that Wi-Fi seems to be connected on your iPhone 7 but it's not. Let's continue working on this issue together.
To get started, please disable Bluetooth, and test the issue again. Then disable LTE in Settings > Cellular, and test.
The next step we would like to try is, resetting your network settings. You can do this by going to: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind, this also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
Please let us know if this helps. Best regards.
