iPhone 15 Pro Max Wi-Fi Issues

I’m having wifi issues on 15 PM but not specially related to 160hz.

It overall is not as good at picking up signal as prior iPhones and shows lower signal strength or doesn’t find the network at all, at range. If i compare it side by side with my iPhone 12, the 12 picks up far better signal where the 15 PM has a lot less or none at all.

I read the RC notes and installed the new update - no change and the notes didn't mention the specific issue so likely next update if they do decide it's a software issue. I think this update was minor bug fixes but the major target was the overheating issue which I understand.

Let's make sure to keep this thread going with as much useful info as possible.

Have you even read other replies in this thread? All router manufacturers have users affected. I'm willing to bet a lot that this is not at all a host-side (router) issue, but a client-side (iPhone) issue.

I’m also experiencing the same on 15 Pro, Gave to disconnect WiFi and reconnect. Periodically no internet. Have a strong WiFi mesh that had no issues before with IPhone 14 Pro Max. ASUS Router AX-88U

I am glad you were able to get their attention. I started calling Apple support on the 23rd and spent an hour that day, drove two hours to the nearest Apple Store so they could run further diagnostics, spoke with 2nd level support multiple times and was eventually told they weren’t doing anything unless i could replicate the issue with another router. The did indicate it was a software issue but they were not elevating it to the engineers. Sounds like we may finally get a resolution…at some point.

I’m with Fibrus full fiber and it only does speeds up to 30/40 meg on my iPhone 15 pro max. I retested loads of times on my old iPhone SE and it gets speeds up to 300 no problem at all. Something really isn’t right

I wonder if we have the same issue. So my WiFi issue only occurs when I leave my house and come back, in that it won’t reconnect to my WiFi. It always says 5G+ and when I check the settings it’s not on my WiFi and I have to manually re-select my network name and it connects just fine then. Once I’m connected to my WiFi, it never drops or has issues, only when I leave the house again (like to walk my dog) and come back does it not reconnect so I have to manually click on it again.

Yes, I have it set to automatically connect. I’ve also reset my network settings on the phone and played around with my router as well. I have a high end Nighthawk router that runs a 6Ghz 6E band. Now the one “problem” I have (problem per apple but no other product I own) is that I name my 2.4, 5, and 6Ghz bands all differently (with the same password though). Apple wants me to rename all three bands to the same name to fix my connection to make it “stable”, but I won’t do that because then it’ll screw up my diverse band limited devices throughout my household and I don’t want my phone wanting to switch to a 2.4Ghz band just because the signal itself is marginally better at times. I did this kinda setup with the same network name and oh boy everything was messed up and my devices across the board were running slower. My iPhone XS never had this issue, even with bands named differently. I wonder if it’s something else.

The selling point is the ability to connect o 160 mhz. But everyone appears to be having issues connecting or staying connected. For some reason, my phone will initially work fine and speeds topping 1.4 gbps but after a while drops to below 50 mbps. I shouldn't have to change my WiFi 6e settings. Major bug.

I have also many Wifi disconnections!

I put my phone on Airplane mode at home at after some minutes I lose wifi like it doesn’t exist. when i wake it up then after some minutes it restores.

My device is iphone 13 pro max with the final release and my wifi router is Linksys WHW03v2 operating wifi 5

Thanks for the input! What you explained is definitely how it’s supposed to work, but when I’ve changed my router and devices to work that way (especially my phone) I often find those devices switching to a different band, and pretty steathily I might add to a band that it shouldn’t theoretically switch to, and then I have to go manually change it back to the desired WiFi band as it won’t select the best band. I get what you are saying though as that is how the devices should operate and there shouldn’t be an issue (and in fact if it worked that way it would increase my overall connection/stability), I’ve just found in practice it doesn’t always work out that way. That’s why I force things to only connect to certain bands now so they “don’t get any ideas” and have a mind of their own haha.

That being said, so this morning when I woke up, I found that my phone was off the WiFi and connected to the 5G+ network instead. First time I’ve notice my phone just getting off the network while I never left my home. When I go to reconnect to the router, it shows full bars for reception. My condo is not big at all so I’m never more than like 20 feet from my router (with minimal

walls). For reference, I have a Nighthawk Raxe500. It has no connection issues with any other devices, including my laptop which is the only other device currently configured for the 6E band.

I had a similar experience today. I only get 2 bars on my phone network but got 4 bars and my WiFi connection completely disappeared in the corner. Then WiFi came back and my bars dropped back to 2 after a reset. Something is clearly going on.

I have 3 SSIDs for 2.4GHz, 5GHz (WIFI 6), and 6GHz (WIFI 6E).

I can only see 2 SSIDs for WIFI 2.4GHz and WIFI 6 listed in my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

WIFI 6E SSIS is not listed or recognized.

Does iPhone 15 Pro Max support WIFI 6G?

Im having the same issue, I can connect at home, but as soon as I'm at school, where the internet works on my computer, it doesn't work, or even connect on my phone. Very frustrating for when i'm trying to 2FA or do things on my phone and computer simultaneously.

So update on my end. Just got into the office and connected my phone to the network (it’s a 6E powerhouse). Went to go get a quick coffee outside my office and when came back my phone didn’t connect back to the network. I had to manually reselect the network again.

I can’t connect to WiFi most of the time just doesn’t connect… other times it connects but there’s no connection. This is all on my iPhone 15 pro max and my 14 pro max works perfect on the same WiFi networks at the same time
