Iphone 12 Pro Max Keeps Losing Wifi Signal

I have been having this issue for 2 weeks now on my iPhone 12 PM. Today i noticed that my battery had a 23% usage from an app i had installed "Wifi Map" that i rarely used. I removed this app and this seems to have solved the problem. Not sure how this happened but will keep you posted if anything changes or if this breaks again!

This is what I got….

Hi

Thank you for your email and video.

The department replied to me, it seems that there is a conflicting Wi-Fi CC 0.001 Yes 11:26:00.114Found conflicting country code(s) (gb)

'Tenda_6EFD' — 58:d9:d5:03:6e:fd (CN)

'VM5947820_Ext' — 00:e0:20:1f:d6:7c (US)

You need to contact the network provider support again in order to resolve the conflicting country codes.

So I think I may of found the issue…. I’ve changed my broadband setting and turned off the band 2 5GHz… so far no wifi dropping 🤞 my friend has been having the same issue snd she has just done the same! I really hope this is what the issue was! But we’ll see

If you actually want an answer:

Because the iPhone 12 has newer and Wi-Fi 6 compliant hardware and it’s likely your other Apple products do not.

Therefore they likely put demands on your router and use it in a way your old products do not.

This can wreak all sorts of havoc especially on routers that are compliant when it turns out… they really weren’t.

For example, some Ubiquiti WAPs had issues (and still do if you are running early access firmware) with iPhone 12 and 13 family devices because they are getting something in the protocol wrong, even for routers that don’t have Wi-Fi 6 radios.

At present the fix for that issue is to downgrade those WAPs to an earlier revision of the firmware until Ubiquiti gets the issue sorted out.

At least in that scenario, it has nothing to do with the iPhones themselves.

Though I don’t know for sure, how this typically happens is protocols leave various bits in various fields undefined for future revision, and software is supposed to just ignore what is there.

If the firmware decided to use those bits for itself or just assumed they would always be 0, bad things will happen when they become meaningful in a future update to the spec.

Hey there! Understand that your losing Wi-Fi signal on your iPhone 12 Pro Max and it’s a problem that could happen with anyone! I’m going to tell you some troubleshooting steps that may resolve your issue. First, it may be your Wi-Fi router to far or to many obstacles in front of the router. If your next to your Wi-Fi router and you still have problems please follow these other steps. Second, make sure you have updated to the latest iOS update. To learn how to update your iOS please follow this link now: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204. If that still doesn’t work please let me know. Thanks!

I've been using the same router (Orbi) at home since 2017 and never had this problem until I upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Mini 6. Both devices constantly drop WiFi.

Same goes with all the restaurants I’ve been visiting with WiFi over the last year as well as two friends’ house I go to regularly. Nobody has updated their routers yet the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Mini 6 constantly lose their WiFi connection. My previous devices iPhone X and iPad Mini 4 had absolutely no problems and never dropped a connection like this at any of these same places with the same infrastructure I’m connecting to today.

Apple devices are the problem.

Verizon wouldn't have anything to do with Wi-Fi unless they provided your Wi-Fi access point.

It sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi access point, and you may want to make sure that it has all firmware updates that have been released for it installed.

Check your WiFi Router / Modem for --> Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points ...

Have you tried this

switch off wifi assist it’s in the setting/ cellular scroll all the way to the bottom

i tried switching off private IP and force the phone to connect only it to 5ghz WiFi band , seems to work for me now, already 4 days without need to reboot the phone.

I think the poster said to turn off the 5 ghz broadcast on your router as well. I did that and the issue has disappeared.

Nah that hasn't fixed it for me. I'm trialling wifi assist disabled and so far so good- 1 week without a dropout

Turning off VPN and resetting network seems to have worked for me

5 hours now without turning WiFi off and on

hopes this works for you

That is really strange as i had this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. As soon as i deleted the Wifi Map app this was sorted out for me. No longer have the issue for weeks now

Turn off norton350, turn off vpn, turn off and on several times airplane mode, turn off phone, Wi-Fi network and reboot phone
