Hi, Apple_Lover9.


If you are unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network if more than a meter away, there are some steps you can take.


  1. Check your router. Ensure that you are within the specified range. Restart your router and modem.
  2. Ensure that your Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure you're connected to your Wi-Fi network.
  3. Enter your password if prompted.
  4. Look for alerts, in orange, below your Wi-Fi name.
  5. Make sure your cables are connected.
  6. Restart your iPhone


Lastly, try this step.


"Reset your Network Settings. If you're using iOS or iPadOS 15 or later, tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If you're using iOS or iPadOS 14 or earlier, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before." If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't connect to a Wi-Fi network


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
