iPhone 15 Pro Max Wi-Fi Issues

This is a widespread iOS17 problem at this point. My wife has an iPhone 11 and she's having all kinds of wifi problems now too. Hopefully we get an update soon that sorts this out. So strange too, because Ive been running 17 since June without issue...... but the final release has been oof.

My 15 PM is working better now. I had already reset everything on my Deco M4 mesh network (2.4/ 5ghz), but I did it again and it's working better now. Using old iphone on personal hotspot works better than it did on my 12 PM too. No VPN. Decos are old M4 and I have 9 of them around the property. Seems to work as well as my 12 PM now. 🤷‍♂️ Not using wifi 6 yet though, hopefully by the time I upgrade mesh network it'll be sorted out.

For anyone wondering I too was having wifi issues where it just wouldn’t connect and then if it did connect it would just say there no internet connection coming from this router. I called Apple and the guy had me do a setting reset, not network reset but the setting and that seemed to have fixed all my issues, at least for now

Just picked up a new iPhone 15 Pro Max today and same thing. Landed here after googling “iPhone 15 WiFi issues.” My wifi doesn’t work on my new phone, my old iPhone XR works just fine with my wifi, same as all the other devices I have connected to my WiFi. I had to turn off the WiFi on my phone altogether and use my cellular data which isn’t great where I live. I’ve seen people messing with their router settings which I’m not about to start doing given everything else works just fine including my previous iPhone. Considering returning the phone back to Apple.

I had same issue, and tried 4 different routers. Issues was VPN. VPN kept trying to connect which was stopping internet, and VPN app wasn't yet downloaded so no way to log in and turn off. Went into VPN settings menu and deleted VPN, problem solved.

I too am having this issues with an iPhone 15 Pro. From day one I can connect to Wi-Fi, but get the:

'The Wi-Fi network "MySSID" does not appear to be connected to the internet. Do you want to temporarily use mobile data?' error.

Like others, this is what I have done as a workaround:

I split my Wi-Fi to 2.4 gHz and 5.0 gHz and adjusted channel from auto to 40.

Please help Apple, my internet is suffering.

I just got my iPhone15ProMax and I am having this same issue. I'm also having issues on my 6thGen iPad Pro. Has there been any update on this? I have TP-Link Omada equipment, specifically for WiFi6e I have two EAP690E-HDs.

I am using google mesh WiFi. Every single device except my iPhone 15 pro work. I tried resetting my phone and resetting my WiFi but no change. I also tried plugging in my old router and no luck.

Does anyone know if this can be fixed via software update or is this new one resolution?

I have my appointment on Monday with Apple. Might just return it and stick to my 13pro

Not sure if it will be fixable via a software update (most likely), but I found that my iPhone 15 Pro Max likes some WiFi’s and dislikes others, such as the one I have at home. Much like you, all other devices connected to my home's WiFi do just fine except the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It doesn’t work no matter what I do. I have now gone to a bunch of different places with different WiFi’s and to my surprise some work just fine while others won’t work at all. I have no idea why some work and some don’t. I also have an appointment with Apple in store and I am considering returning the phone. I’ll buy it again when and if they fix the problem.

I was having the same issue. I could connect for about 20 seconds then I would get dropped. I tried a number of things. Ex: Resetting network, turning phone off and on. What worked for me was to turn on airplane mode for 30 seconds and then turning it back off. I could connect. Hopefully it continues to work. Good luck

I tried it yesterday and it didn't work, but today I turned it off for about 30-45 seconds before turning it back on. That's what worked for my phone. Good luck. I hope you find a resolution for your issue. It is very frustrating especially with a new phone.

Yeah, I already figured out that the phone simply has issues with some WiFi’s/routers. I’ve connected to some successfully and others have not worked. Unfortunately, the one I have at home doesn’t work. My WiFi works fine with my previous iPhone and all current devices I have connected to it though, e.g., MacBook Pro, Smart TVs, Apple TV, gaming consoles, other iPhones, HomePod speakers, etc.

I am sickened to read that the issue I have experienced just this afternoon after receiving my new iphone15 Pro Max regarding the phone dropping the internet every few minutes is a glitch within the phone's system. Unbelievable not just for the price, but because Apple is a tech company and should never have released it with this issue. Surely, they must have tested it...

That said, we have Comcast 5G and I have been trying for hours now to get the phone restored using my recent backup. The error message states the phone must be connected to the internet to continue the backup and that the restore is paused. It also show a message that says the restore will resume, once the phone is connected to the internet again. It is connected to the internet. I do have a call scheduled for tomorrow morning with Apple Support and it will be most interesting to learn their excuse for the problem.

In the meantime, I still have 6GB to download until my new phone is full operational. This is so frustrating and I am angry with Apple for letting this happen and not having fixed the bug already.

Unfortunately i have been reporting this issue since September 23rd( the day after I got mine) and still a couple days ago when i spoke to a senior agent they said they had no idea when a fix would be available. Quite honestly, it took them a couple weeks to stop telling me to buy a newer router. All they can tell me is they are collecting logs.

Yes, I too have been reaching out since the 23rd. I’ve stopped answer their phone calls… sick of giving them the same information conversation after conversation. I’ve been a huge supporter of Apple and I’m beginning to think it’s time to look for an alternative. It’s very sad to me … but if I am told one more time… we’re still collecting information, I’m going to scream. Obviously this is not a problem for a couple of people! It’s time to do something Apple!
