iOS 15.4.1 Wi Fi problem

Apple mist give us the option to downgrad.

Its even worse for me , im not able to provide a stable Hotspot connection to my phone or my Laptop or anyone else. Beside the wifi connection problems.

And all what Apple gives you are tons of Articles about restarting your phone und turn off and on your Router.

have you restarted your router? Have you restarted your phone? Have you Reset network settings? Have you deleted any VPN profiles on your phone?

Apple will never give you an option to downgrade, because that would leave your phone vulnerable to hacking. And anyway it won’t solve the problem, which is not related to the version, but rather to either a setting or app on your phone.

Like i said , i would appreciate anther answere than , restart your router, restart your phone etc….

I have an IPhone 13 wich was not Update to either 15.4 or 15.4.1 and it dose not have any problems.

and take to note 200 other ppl are having similar issues.

Mr Finch

We are not talking about an Ios Update wich has ben out for dozens of years.

If IOS 15.3.1 would make the user vulnerable to Hacking, Apple would force them to Upgrade.

I also saw that you are suggesting many ppl to delete VPN. If they were using a VPN perfectly fine bevor updating, why should they delete/ deactivate their VPN after the Update?

If you Buy a car with a GPS build inside and it suddenly stops wokring, dose the manufacture suggest to use ur Phone insted ?

Its sure e temporary solution but not an error on the User side.

best regards

I just submitted a feedback on the beta to let Apple know of the issue. But I did find something that has helped my Wi-Fi to connect when I did the feedback. Go into your Wi-Fi connection and see if you have “Use Private Address “ on, if it’s on then turning it off should resolve Wi-Fi issues.

I have no VPN App, I can only see VPN & Device Management in settings, and nothing is configured. My wife has been complaining that she has to manually connect to the wifi every time when it used to reconnect automatically. After I updated my iPad to 15.4.1 I started experiencing exactly the same thing. In fact in the time taken to write this it has dropped the wifi once again. My wifi signal is strong throughout the house and all other non Apple devices connect fine.

I was having similar issues with multiple apps (eg. Zoom, MyFitnessPal) and no amount of reinstalling, rebooting, or LTE vs various Wifi networks would solve the issue. And when I would log out of the app, I would be unable to log back in due to “network issues”. I even completely uninstalled my VPN, not just turn it off. I’m on an iPhone XS with iOS 15.4.1. What finally worked for me is I turned off Apple’s “Private Relay (Beta)” feature - and now everything is working again.

Called apple regarding this they had me run some troubleshooting. They couldn’t help over the phone and arranged an appointment in store. We went into an apple shop - the Genius Bar again ran some diagnostic, removed everything off my phone and reinstalled the new iOS. They deemed that I had been sent a faulty phone from insurance so had to go back to them. They were however, aware of this issue with the new iOS

On the advice from this forum, I turned off Private Address under the specific wifi on the device and this seems to have resolved it for us. Still a small delay reconnecting but it is automatic which is way better than before.

I experience the same issue on my oldie 8plus, after updating to 15.4.1 WiFi and cellular is not reliable anymore. The same thing happened in different places - at home, at work, at my friends place. Androids and computers working fine, but my iPhone is rather a brick now in terms of access to the Internet... 🙆‍♀️🤬seriously annoying

Have you read any of the advice on how to fix it that have been posted in this thread that you just added to?

FIRST: Delete any VPN profiles on the phone (you can reinstall them later)

SECOND: Turn off Private Address of FIRST doesn’t solve the problem

Well, you are unlikely to get an update from Apple, because it is a problem with a few specific phones. If it was a general problem with the update you would see thousands of posts about it, as over 500 million users have the update. So the best thing to do is make a genius bar appointment and have your phone checked out.

I ran into this same problem after updating iOS to 15.4.1. VPN was not the issue.

I was able to work around the problem by doing the following:

Settings -> Wifi -> i (next to the network name) -> Configure DNS -> Manual

* Then removed my router's ip (192.168.0.1 in my case)

* Added Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8)

Before someone suggests that my router is misconfigured... my other devices (such as my MBP) respond perfectly to DNS requests directed at my router and this problem only occurred on my iPhone after I updated iOS. It may be related to an incompatibility w/ my router's DNS w/ the latest iOS update, not sure. I have a NetGear Nighthawk R8000P w/ firmware V1.4.3.88_1.3.50.

Also... you may want to plug in your isp's DNS server(s) rather than 8.8.8.8 which I just used for testing.

The Answer link is incorrect. "Apple Recommends" - the actual issue is that Private Addressing is enabled on the WLAN(SSID) you are connecting to, you see a blank page on the CNA (the pop-up mini page you see when you connect to an SSID behind a portal) once you turn off the feature and reconnect to the SSID... The Portal page fills in the CNA with the appropriate page, and you can get online. Just a workaround for someone who stumbles on these boards out of frustration. The setting "Private Wi-Fi Address" is a default privacy setting per WLAN. If you are at a hotspot, Marriott pay-per-use type pages or name and room number authentications; Hyatt, etc., you will want to have the feature on out of privacy and tracking purposes. I have also noticed if you keep trying... if you are that bored and want to put yourself through pain and suffering.. and leave Private Addressing on.. it will eventually load, took me nine times in a row once not to get the blank page. ( I was bored and testing) - Samsung device with Private Addressing had zero issues.

Apple please fix it, you have people in your business that travel.

Couldn’t agree more. My wife has an android smart for and I also have smart tv as well as IPTV, and they all work just fine with the same router. I was really thing of buying a new modem/router but when I tested the connection speed on android phones the all comme back strong. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX ASAP PLEASE
