After iOS 17 update when I close the device, and then open it again, does not connect automatically with my Wi-Fi. I have to get in the settings and then close and open the Wi-Fi so it connects.
This is happening to all our family devices. iPhone 13, iPhone 14 plus, iPad mini, iPad Pro M2.
iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 17
Finally figured it out. Dang, was starting to look at android phones. If you have done all the routine things and still no help, see if you have the google one app. Delete it. Even if you have VPN turned off, doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter that it all worked fine before the 17 update. I did everything including a complete restore of my phone, but since other iphones in the home with the same ios update did not have the problem, I figured it was some combination of the update and an app. I knew there was talk of von software causing an issue and I had this turned off. Didn’t matter. As soon as I deleted the google one app, wifi auto join and password entry was automatic once again. I am sure apple knows this but probably doesn’t care so much since it is a google *** incompatibility with the new upgrade, but son of a … Not a fun time figuring that out. Really odd that despite turned off in the main settings it was preventing my auto wifi recognition. I’d would think that worth looking at any VPN app as a possible suspect. Hope this helps anyone in this same situation.
I updated my iPhone SE mid November 2023 to IOS 17. Since then I can’t connect/ or I connect and it drops repeatedly to wifi. This has happed to all my Apple devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac and MacBook).
I have repeatedly reported this to Apple and they said that no one else is having this problem and tried to blame my provider. I had already looked into this with my internet provider for 2 full days. It was then realised that only Apple products are affected and that all non Apple products work fine.
I have Apple products that I worked my arse off to pay for, so I have the best support for my disabilities while I’m at uni. I have my final deadline coming up and I have not been able to do uni work since November because the internet can no longer connect to my Apple devices.
Apple also stated that everyone on here are liars and we have all independently decided to make up this issue and lie about the iOS 17 update. Main stream media that have published reports about the problems with IOS 17 and wifi since October 2023 are also liars and Apple claims that they are not aware of any issues with the IOS 17 update and wifi.
Does anyone know about legal rights etc for this? IOS 17 update has made all my Apple devices unusable. I’ve asked to go back to IOS 16 but Apple refuses.
I hope someone can help. Apple refuse to even acknowledge the issue.
Hmmmm…. That is not good. Can you try downgrading to last known OS that worked 16.?
Thanks for the suggestion to check vpn. That turned out to be the trick for me. It's working now. Thanks again!
This is an apple issue. Happens on Apple TV too. WiFi will not auto join after 17.4
In one particular way, it certainly IS related to the IOS update. When connecting to a (private) network where you must manually configure the IP address, IOS 17 behaves differently than IOS 16. In IOS 16, you need not configure the "Router" IP address in order to connect, whereas in IOS 17, you must. I have two iPads: one still running IOS 16 and the other running IOS 17. The former still connects wonderfully (without the Router IP address configured) but the latter, with the exact same network configuration, stopped connecting immediately after the update from 16 -> 17. After pulling on what hair I have left, searching the forums far and wide, and uttering discouraging words, I finally tried entering the access point IP address in the Router field of the network configuration and Voila!
Unfortunately, even manually entering the IP information (device IP, subnet mask, router IP) didn't solve the problem. I entered all that, then restarted my iPhone, and lo and behold, it was back on cellular data and not connecting to wifi.
Every since I updated my phone to 17.1, the phone won't connect to our WiFi router. I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps including disabling and then reenbling WiFi on the iPhone, power cycling the phone, power cyling the WiFi router, trying different encryption (WPA2 and WPA3), and moving to 2.4 GHz radio, then back to 5 GHz radio band, and some other changes on our WiFi router, but nothing works.
Also, ever since I upgraded our iPad to iOS 16.7.1, the iPad has also not been able to connect to our WiFi router.
Finally, a family member updated their iPhone to the most recent iOS, and now their iPhone can't connect to WiFi.
Apple, please fix this bug ASAP.
iPhone was just updated to 17.1.1. On restart, it did not connect to my home wifi network, which I can confirm is up and running properly. It was using cellular data until I turned its wifi off and on again (and I got an alert about my cellular data being almost exhausted while I was doing this).
This bug is now actively costing me money.
For me the issue is related to the update to IOS 17.1.1. From the moment I updates the software I cannot connect my phone to the wifi because it keeps saying the password is incorrect. I changed to BootP setting and then it works...only if I am sitting right on top of the router. If I move more than 10 meters away the problem persists. No other devices are affected (and they haven't been updated). Not good enough Apple :(
You said new iOS upgrade
my wifi is still not working
you guys didn't fix any bug
this is not getting funny anymore
for over 2 month
I can't access my wifi I keep buying data when I have home wifi
This is pathetic. Very poor update. Very poor testing and planning. Once again an update causes more problems than it helped. This is unusable. Going to look at a non-iphone for the first time since the 1st Iphone. Just plain sad and no fix in 3 months.
Yes - me too and nothing fixes it. All the helpful tips in the world will not fix this. I have reset my network. Reset all the setting on my phone, and of course the auto join is on - duh. Ever since went to 17 now essentially not useful. Going to try an android now after having every iphone they make!
Apple said it would fix the WiFi bug in the iOS 17.2 version but it turns out there's no WiFi on my iPhone 12. I still have the problem and there's no solution until now. Please help. I need an update to fix the bug, not add new features.
because it's useless for new features but there are still annoying bugs
Unfortunately, that did not work for me, but I did find a solution for me as noted above. Curious if that fixes most everyone else's problem. I wouldn't want to run with the private WIFI turned off. Good luck.
Just updated my iPhone 13 to iOS version 17.2.1 and am able to connect to wifi, but the phone isn't using it. I reset network settings, shut off VPN, turned off private wifi address and limit IP tracking. I'm not sure what else I can do. My girlfriends iPhone 12 pro had no issues with this update.
iOS 17 bug: Wi-Fi not connecting after restart iPhone and iPad.
