I recently downloaded ios 15.7 to my iPhone 11 and now am unable to verify to join ANY Wifi network. The phone also does not allow me to go back and restore. I have tried all the resets and followed all instructions. Interestingly enough it is telling me that iOS 16 is available.

Hi jon6222jc,
We'd like to help you find the best resolution path for issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. A restore should not be required in troubleshooting this type of problem, and starting with the steps in If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support which will show the following steps:
2.Make sure that Wi-Fi is on and you can see your network
3.If asked, enter your Wi-Fi password
4.Check for issues with your Wi-Fi network
5.Check your cables and connections
6.Restart
In addition to these steps will also show how to reset network settings and this should help provide a solution when all other steps do not work. If you continue to have issues, you can reach out to Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Hello Mr Henderson, Thanks for the reply and help but none - zero of the solutions you presented above helped as I had tried all of them several times. In the end I disable the VPN on my Norton 360 which allowed me to connect to Wi-Fi then I update the IOS from 15.7 to 16 which immediately resolved all the issues and enabled me to reactivate my VPN's. So there must have been something in15.7 to mess with the VPN and Wi-Fi settings. Many thanks.
I was having the same issue after my 15.7 update & it did actually mess with my anti virus t& vpn package. I turned off the vpn & turned it back on & it fixed the issue. Thanks jon6222jc
Thanks for reaching out again Mr. Henderson. We're happy to know your issue is resolved. Please reach out if you have any other questions or concerns.
Regards.
I have exactly the same problem but am not being offered the version 16 upgrade as I cannot connect to any wifi
Get rid of your antivirus. It is absolutely useless, and just slows down your phone and can cause crashes.
