Iphone 12 Pro Max Keeps Losing Wifi Signal

Hi there .... yeah seems like I'm having the same issue with my new iPhone 12. Kept on getting disconnected from the wifi but not on my iPhone 11. It has nothing to do with the router for sure and the settings on both devices are identical.

I have been having exactly the same problem since getting my iPhone 12 at the beginning of December, never had any problems before with my iPhone 7 and I don’t get any WiFi drop outs with my iPad which uses the same WiFi router. This is extremely annoying and frustrating

It seems to be getting worse. Normally resets when I switch Wi-Fi off and on, sometimes I have to switch to Airplane mode, occasionally I have to switch phone off and on.

when I get connected, if I start another app, it often reports no network connection so I have to go thru the process again.

Apple - are you listening??

Same here I have the iPhone 12, and even on beta software. Out of the box issue always shows my wifi is connected but won’t load any internet required information. Have to turn of wifi then back on. Usually happens a few times a day while I’m at home.

I had same problem on iPhone 12 pro max with wifi signal disconnecting and having to turn wifi off and back on again to join. Check your modem/router 2.5ghz and 5ghz frequency and make sure the name is set to the same for both not different. My modem for some reason had a different name for both so I changed it to the same thing and haven’t lost wifi signal since touch wood

Hi to all iPhone users with Wifi connection issues. After having tried to reset network settings on the phone and resetting the router which didn’t resolve the issue (with all other phones/ipads/TVs having no issue) and having had lengthy conversation with Apple Support / remote diagnostics of my phone which didn’t reveal any hardware/software issue, I ahve tried to turn off the “Connect-on-demand” in all my VPN client apps which finally resolved the issueand WIFI connection stays on with the download speeds at perfect values.

If you have started having your wifi-connection issues after having installed VPN client on your phone, try to switch off Connect On Demand.

Hope it helps!!!!

have a good day everyone!

I have had the same issue with my iPhone 12 Mini since the day I received it. The phone shows it’s connected, but it’s not, and apps I use frequently such as WhatsApp and the Apple weather app won’t open. I discovered the same “fix” that you did (switching the phone’s WiFi off and then on again), but that’s very annoying. I’m hoping a future software update will cure the problem.

Same here. It’s not my router as my lap top still work & other items connected to my WiFi work. My phone is useless usually Friday & Saturday seem to be the days I can’t use my phones apps. Disappointed as I use my apps all the time. For over $1100 phone & to have this happen😖

It’s in Cellular > voice and data > roaming; I was constantly getting 5g but switched it to LTE and it’s fine now but still occasionally drops out to LTE , far less often. No 5g yet in area. Stays connected more consistently. My ipad pro and iphone X don’t have this issue and neither has 5g connectivity obviously.

Same here. Several times throughout the day the Wifi speed drops to zero on the new iPhone 12 Pro, my wife’s 11 at the exact same time works fine. I use Google Wifi and I haven’t change a thing in several years... I’m on the Apple lease program so I’ve been thru several iPhones with the same Wifi and never had an issue.

and yet another “same issue”...as of Jan 23rd, 2021.

Just bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max this week and have to switch WiFi off then on periodically throughout the day. Not using VPN. I have over 20 other devices on my network, to include iPhone X, IPhone 11 Pro, 4 iPads, 2 Mac books, 2 iPods, 2 Apple TV’s...and no connection issues whatsoever with any of those devices! My ISP connection is over 400mbs and I have a full scale Ubiquity network. CLEARLY THIS IS AN IPHONE 12 ISSUE. APPLE....FIX THIS!
