Hi. I’ve updated my iPhone 13 Pro Max & IPad Air (4th Gen) to the newest iOS , however, I’ve noticed continuous difficulties in connecting to the Wi-Fi ( either hotspot or house router ), any help please ?

Fix for me:


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

* Remove router's ip (192.168.0.1 in my case)

* Added Google's DNS server: 8.8.8.8


VPN was not the issue (perhaps it is for some). After the iOS update, my phone couldn't use my router for DNS (other devices and computers work w/o any issues). This appears to be an Apple incompatibility introduced w/ the last update.


You may want to replace 8.8.8.8 with your ISP's DNS servers.

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 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.
