Same issues here on Oct 31, 2023. iPhone 15 Pro WiFi slowness and frequent drops altogether. Videos freeze, feeds stop loading. Unbelievably bad performance for a new phone. My iPhone 11 was fine.

Yup.. same issue with me still.. but better in ios 17.4.. from old version…


my noted this issue appear if using multiple WiFi network on iPhone 15 pro max … if you saved any wifi network on your iPhone 15 should be deleted all .. and connected with one only … until apple fixed this problem 😔


im using iPhone since more thin 10 years maybe … im never see like this issue with any Apple device

I found a solution for iPhone 15 super slow wifi.


I think the iPhone's problem is preferring for some reason 2,4 GHz over 5 GHz from your home modem.

New modems have usually band steering mode. This means your appliances can choose wifi frequencies automatically from your home wifi network.


2,4 GHz has a longer range and slower speed and it is compatible with most electronics

5 GHz shorter range and higher speed and for newer electronics


If we create 2 separate wifi one for 2,4 GHz and the other for 5 GHz, and let the iPhone connect to only 5 GHz, speeds go instantly higher.



  • Find your home modem and connect to the admin page in your internet browser.
  • You will find the address and password at the bottom of your modem
  • The address is 192.168.x.x. In my case 192.168.0.1.
  • In the admin console under WiFi, enable networks 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz
  • Name them differently and apply changes
  • In iPhone wifi settings ignore the old wifi network, and connect only to a 5 GHz network and that is it.
