WiFi Speeds (iPhone 12 Pro Max)

With update 14.4.1 its much improved for me with my iphone 12 pro. Was only getting 15-25 mbps now around 120 mbps. My other devices still get more but at least its much improved.

I was having slow WiFi speeds I turned of cell data. I discovered that my iPhone was not connected to the WiFi network. Once I turned WiFi off and on again it connected. I then turned back on cell data. Working as of last speed test. The next thing you can try is removing WiFi and reconnecting to your network.

I doubt that it is related to 14.2, because all 4 of my family’s iOS devices (2 iPhones & 2 iPads) are still as fast as my Internet service (~110mbps).

Some basic troubleshooting:

• Restart your router (You should do this regularly, anyway, weekly is good)
• Forget and reconnect to the network
• Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings

If you don’t have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz bands consider changing one so you can tell them apart, and connect intentionally to the faster 5 GHz network.

Just installed IOS 14.3 final guys, available for beta profiles... RC version !

speeds look fine now, may not as constant like my other devices, but they are definitely up !!!

14.3 will be available for everyone next week!

Removal of the Private Address didn't work for me with IOS 14.2 or now, 14.3.

What about:

• Turning off VPN if you are using it
• Restarting your router
• Forgetting the network and reconnecting
• Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings

In my case my device was connected to the first network of the modem but it had two more networks and when I connected to the third network the speed improved a lot! Example: 9.25mbps to 340mbps, since i got my new device i noticed the slowness being that my home internet is 1GB, it was a huge difference in speed and solved my problem!

ThankYou Sammax12,

Turning on Configure Proxy Automatic

(Wifi /press on Your wifi network / Configure Proxy / Auto.)

Worked to resolve slow WiFi speeds with BlueTooth turned on.

All my devices had that Proxy Configuration turned off as the default setting so I reset to Auto.

WiFi 6 makes huge difference. I upgraded my home wifi with Unifi Dream machine pro with three AP wifi 6. It is completely different story now. This show that iPhone 12 models share the same issue and that is problem with older wifi routers. Problem is still there and it has to be addressed soon.

I have the same issue. My iPhone 12 Pro Max is half the wifi download and upload speed of my laptop or ipad (6th gen), or my girlfriend's iphone 7. When cellular is off however, download and upload speeds are where they should be

Note the "latest software" for the Apple AirPort Extreme is now almost two years old.

I've never seen my 12 Pro Max slow down.

Make sure you have "Wi-Fi Assist shut off.

As silly as it sounds, try running another test, but this time set your phone directly on top of or next to the Orbi.

Many don't realize that the high speeds 5 GHz Wi-Fi offers begins to drop off as soon as you are more than two to three feet away from the router (seriously.)

At distance, 250-400 Mbps down is wonderful for a 5 GHz connection.

There may also be interference or something causing your phone to drop back to the 2.4 GHz frequency.

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine which frequency your device is connected to from the phone; I have no idea if the Orbi provides that information or not.

There is no risk turning off private address on your own router. It’s to protect your identity using “foreign” routers.

I would suggest seeing if Apple can exchange yours with another one. Yours sounds like a faulty hardware issue versus the speed issues we are having are more likely software issues.

Try resetting network connections in the settings. (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Connections). Sometimes that helps.

hi I have slowly wifi but I shut down vpn I settings and then I work again
