iPhone 15 Pro Max Wi-Fi Issues

Change the 5GHz to 20/40/80 instead and I bet it works fine

its something weird with 20/40/80/160hz on 5ghz (well at least for me anyways)

See I can get 160hz to work fine on 5GHz if i set the bandwidth to 160hz only

i can also get 5GHz 20/40/80/160hz to work if i split the SSID and turn smart connect off (not really an option for me) nor should I need too.

I’m hoping it’s software bug, but I’ve had a iPhone 15 pro and 15 pro max with the exact same issues connecting - which points to the 6e hardware in the phone. - IPhone 13 Pro and pro max work fine on my existing setup

i wish I had a IPhone 15 or 15 pro to test, as I think they will work fine (but this is a guess based on the hardware in the phone)

i hope a iOS update can be released asap to resolve this, as buying such an expensive phone shouldn’t come with these issues - I just hope it’s not a hardware compatibility issue (which I highly doubt it is)

luckily for me I have a workaround and using a 2nd router that only broadcasts 5GHz (20/40/80), But not everyone else had this option or might not be technical minded to change all there router settings

😂 it has nothing to do with ICloud+

I have it and have done for some time and I have this issue since getting the phone on release day

running diagnostics is probably not going to help, there’s needs to be a IOS update to fix the issue

I’ve been working directly with apple care and logs have been collected from my phone (some other users on this page have also been contacted), The information has been passed up to engineers who will analyse the logs and see if a update fix can be created to fix the issue.

if they do and they can fix it via an update it might take 1 to 2 iOS updates for it to come out.

can I ask what router your using and your WiFi router settings?

But feel free to update us on what your apple chat support specialist says

Don’t want to sound negative, but probably when you go out of range and back in range you will have issues again

17.0.3 has not resolved the issue :(

Update below from a Apple Care Contact That's Been collecting logs and reporting this issue higher up to engineers

” Thanks for letting me know.

The focus of the newest iOS update, version 17.0.3, is to fix the kernel security and WebRTC overflow bugs. Visit this link, About the security content of iOS 17.0.3 and iPadOS 17.0.3 - Apple Support, for more details. 

I would recommend waiting for the next major update. If the problem still persists, please let me know, and we will take the necessary steps.”

so looks like we need to wait for 17.1 at least

i dont agree with you, if this was the case, why would the router manufacturers allow the setting on the router for 5Ghz?

also setting the router to 5Ghz 20/40/80/160Hz has never been an issue for me or any of my other devices, But i understand depending on the environment some people might have some issues.

If i leave mine at 5Ghz 20/40/80, Wifi speeds are alot slower around the house, Yet if i leave it at 5ghz 20/40/80/160 i get most my 940MB via the wifi no problem

like me and many others the main issue here is Iphone 15 Pro and Pro Max, Apple engineers have collected logs and are looking into a fix to be released via IOS update

Yes, have you not read previous pages, Apple care support have worked with many of us and collected logs from the phones, This was then sent onto engineers who will identify a fix and release in a major ios update

Please read the other posts ive made

Have you read all the other pages

alot of people already have 160hz off and still have issues

Looks like this issue is being picked up by a few news websites now - https://9to5mac.com/2023/10/06/wi-fi-issues-iphone-ios-17/

I have mine setup as 1 ssid for all bands and have the issues

I was told by the Apple care person that’s been collecting the logs for the engineers not to rely on the beta for the fix, once a fix is identified and created it will be added to the final release that’s available to the full public

Do you mean CarPlay?
