iPhone 13 Not keeping Wi-Fi connectivity I recently bought an iPhone 13. Wi-Fi doesn’t stay connected in it. Doesn’t seem to be an issue with the Wi-Fi itself as my other Apple devices remain connected. What can i do?

WiFi problems My IPhone 6, fully updated (12.4.5) , will only work with my WiFi when I’m next to my router but no in my room or kitchen 10 feet away. Any help?

Phone won’t connect to wifi unless next to router For about 6 months now my iPhone X hasn’t been connecting to WiFi networks unless I am next to the router, if I move farther than 5m away from the router my phone loses connection. I know that it is not a problem with the router as I’ve moved locations multiple times and it is always the same thing. I’ve thought that it may be a problem inside the phone as it was dropped by a friend shortly before the problem arose. Looking for advice on what to do as it has rendered my phone somewhat useless…
