iPhone 15 Pro Max Wi-Fi Issues

I’m having similar issues with my 15 pro max when I use VPN private internet access, when I turn on the vpn and leave it on overnight by the morning the WiFi doesn’t work, what I have to do is turn vpn back on and off and the internet works fine, this is on going since the launch of the iPhone , never had this issue with my 14 pro max.

Fingers crossed this helps my 15 Pro Max! It started dropping my home WiFi over the weekend and the privacy relay popped up. I turned the privacy relay off and it helped for about 2 hours then it started again.. my daughter’s newer 14 does the same. We reset the home router, forgot the network, etc. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. The WiFi isn’t the issue, it’s something going on with the phones. Today for now, it is working ok. Last night I had to disconnect to send texts or send the sms. My husband’s older iPhone SE has zero WiFi connection issues along with every other device that uses the home WiFi..

Having the same issue. Tried resetting network settings, restoring with and without iCloud backup, went to “Date & Time” and turned “Automatic Time” on and off, forgot wi-if network, powered phone on and off… everything. Planning to return the phone tomorrow if I can. Please fix Apple!

How has this not been addressed and fixed by now.

We have several iPhone 15 Max and new MacBook Pros that we cannot use the 6Ghz channel due to the devices disconnecting at random. I’m getting super frustrated as I keep texting after each update if it’s been resolved.

I can be just sitting in the couch not moving and my Laptop disconnects from the AP and I have to reconnect. A connection will last 5 min to 30 min. Phones randomly disconnect and start using carrier data.

I have to turn of the 6Ghz completely it’s frustrating as heck.

No one from Apple is here to acknowledge anything; we're all just fellow Apple users.

I would advise you to check the Ubiquiti forums - they release new firmware betas more or less weekly and official firmware revisions quite often to try to address issues like this on a wide variety of hardware.

As I write, this is the latest firmware for your U6-Mesh router, released February 2, 2024; make sure you're up to date:

UniFi-Access-Point-6-6-65

Note also that the use of 160 MHz channels makes you very prone to interference, only works very close to your WAP (generally within about 15 feet), and requires the use of DFS, which means your WAP has to stop transmitting and change channels anytime it detects aviation RADAR signals.

I’m definitely having the same issue. Turning it off and back on seems the fix the problem temporarily for me.

Having great difficulty with WiFi… connections. My new IPhone 15 Pro Max either says it can’t connect or it does but doesn’t hold the connection!

Seems to me, that the radio chip for WiFi is somehow limited for the 5 GHz band. The radio can not handle the 160 MHz spectrum well. Is there a new radio chip involved to the 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max?

I saw his post and did network settings and it worked for me on my 14 pro.

If rebooting the Homehub fixes the issue, that indicates the issue is in the Homehub firmware.

I have a sub 6 WiFi router. It’s not the router. Everything else has no issues.

I suspect the problem will return for you but please keep us posted here. I want to make sure this is something that can be fixed via software update before I decide to keep this phone. I have reset everything and updated the firmware on the router etc and it's still an issue and ONLY with this phone.

Same. I haven't had this issue with past iPhones. I found it weird (and frustrating) that my old iPhone, all my other devices and everyone else in my house's devices worked fine, including my dad's new phone (not Apple). I hope it's not a hardware issue too. I hope this is something they can fix soon.

I'm not a behind-the-scenes computer person, so I don't understand the different hz, routers, etc. I've either been using the 5G (I think, I don't understand that either, but that's what I see on my phone) data or sometimes wifi (at home) when it works or another device.

I'm also very glad this issue isn't only happening to me.

I too am having issues with the 5ghz, the actual internet works fine for all my other apple products, so it isn’t the internet. However since there is such a limited number of available of phones I really hope this isn’t a hardware issue because a replacement will take 1-2 months from what I was told

Yeah. Especially since it's so many people having the same issue. Like we're not all on the same Wi-Fi network/using the same routers and different internet providers. All other of our devices and others in our household work fine. The common denominator is Apple, iPhone 15s.

I really really hope it's a software issue because that can be fixed faster/sooner. I'd love not to have to get a new phone.
