iPhone 14 Pro - intermittent Wifi

Hi anyone else experiencing this issue - when connected to Wi-Fi I get this occasional issue where my phone sort of stops / pauses - it happens in web pages in safari or chrome which stop loading completely; or an app which fails to load or refresh content. It’s intermittent but getting to the point where I’m switching off Wi-Fi and relying on 5G. The issue does not reoccur in 5G. I’m on iOS 16.0.2.

Steps I’ve taken to fix this issue include:

1) Switching Wi-Fi off and on

2) Switching iPhone on / off

3) Restarting iPhone

4) Reset network settings to factory

5) Removed iPhone from network and rejoining

6) Reset Wi-Fi Network

7) Clearing cache and settings in Safari & Chrome

Thanks

VPN that is installed can screw up data flow even when it is off. To fix this you must delete the VPN profile. And if you transferred your content from the iPhone 11 to the 14 Pro and did not delete Nord VPN and reinstall it that is your problem.

One important fact is that when you install VPN it configures itself to the specific hardware, iOS version and network that the phone uses. If any of those change it can break the VPN. So any time you change any of these you need to delete the VPN app and profile, restart your phone then add them back (if you still want to use VPN) so it can configure itself to the new environment.
