Wifi „no internet connection“ issues (iOS16)

As you said “something about ios 16 sending traffic”. Even turning wifi and going to celluar doesnt work. You would expect data to start working if you were to jump off the wifi and go back to celluar data.

I literally just updated my iPhone to iOS 16.1.1 after that my entire phone settings has changed. I had to re-enter wifi password and fix my entire settings. Is this normal my fellow humans ? My entire settings has changed up after the update. I’m okay with that but what am I supposed to do now especially how the update changes everything ?!???!!

I also have the same issue others in my household do not. Have reset router, reset network settings, restored the device and still no wifi. Will repeat all processes again but I am not holding much hope.

So my iphone 13 pro max was working perfectly fine today - then I updated it to iOS 16.1.2 and now my phone won't connect to the wifi.

As I have Alexa all over my home and I'm typing this on my laptop that is connected to my network -- and it was working just fine literally right before the update WTH is going on? I've read these comments trying to blame routers.. and its not the router.

This is a bug in the update. And a fairly serious one.

In what world do you live in that a bug has to affect all users? I’m sorry but that is asinine. Even if it is configuration specific, that is still a bug on Apple’s end that was not there before. It worked before, it doesn’t work now. The only change was Apple’s software.

I appreciate you trying to help people but blaming the user for what is clearly a software flaw is brand guarding.

I updated my wife’s phone and my phone and now have this same issue. All other devices still working on network but our two phones will not stay connected to ANY Wi-Fi (not just ours). I’ve tried all the usual remedies to no avail.

This is absolutely and undeniably a bug with the update. Bugs happen - they just need to be fixed and they don’t get fixed until folks accept it’s not a end-user problem.

Are you using VPN? If so, did you delete the VPN and reinstall it after updating?

And it IS deniable that it is a bug. A bug doesn’t affect dozens of users, it affects thousands.

I’m having the issue as well. Had it with one provider-Verizon. So switched to AT&T and just updated my phone and having it again. Got Tmobile home internet router less than a month ago. Connecting is fine but no internet connection on phone wifi shows. They have replaced the router and still doing it. Have Century link home internet as well. Does it with that as well. They checked All the lines and updated my router twice. Still happening. Tried resetting the network settings, still happens. I’m really over it. Lots of people are having this issue honestly. Mines been working fine for 2 years and all of a sudden 3/4 months ago it all turns to ****

I don't understand all the technology terms but I have one iphone.that works on the same router the other iphone doesnt work. The iphone with the issue will also connect with no internet service to cellular data as well as a hot spot. Just started doing this today and not a single idea has fixed the problem this far.

Also have this issue on IPhone 13 pro Max, same exact issue. Nothing resolves it. It's IOS 16 itself causing the problem as far as I can tell. I have done everything you can think of, (reset network settings, I don't use VPNS, reset router, modem, etc.). Only thing I have not tried is restoring phone from backup. I won't be doing that. I have just disabled WIFI for now as it's unreliable.

Also, 16.0.2 did NOT fix this issue.

Precisely, though always on devices have to renew when their leases expire.

However, only devices like phones disappear from the network then ask to renew a lease.

Are you using VPN?

Not at the time of the issue.

Do you ave a VPN profile and app on the phone, even if not using it at the time.

Yep I do for years now. Never had a problem with it before.
