My iPhone 15 Pro Max intermittently disconnects from 5G Ghz Wifi

Have same issue in iPhone SE 2nd gen running 17.4.1. Happened on 17.4 and on codes prior to that. Three other devices run on the same wifi (one streaming, one a RIPE Atlas software probe*) and they see zero issues but the iPhone is disconnected from wifi 50% of the time or more. On battery or charging makes no difference. Reboots of the phone or router don’t help. In fact the iPhone has been on lte for 5 minutes while a burner phone on wifi has been streaming Pluto tv.

This seems to either be hardware or code related.

* 99.9% uptime or better

Same exact problem.....and only my iPhone. I don't have cell service on this phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max with OS version 17.4.1) so there is no SIM card in it so it's not an issue with switching between cell and wifi service. I can go a few days without it, but then bam it comes back with a vengeance. I noticed this morning, it was dropping wifi every time I locked the phone. I have access to several wifi networks and it does it on each of them, so it is NOT the wifi router. It is definitely the phone that has the problem, but resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, forgetting and then adding wifi connections does NOT work. There is something within the OS that is doing it. I thought I had heard that the problem was gonna be fixed with an iOS update last year, but here we are still experiencing the same problem. I've dealt with it the past few years and quite honestly getting tired of not having wifi when I need it. I depend upon wifi as I mentioned I don't have cell service anymore....if I can't get to my Google Voice, then it's an issue which I don't want to have to depend upon my iPad or MacBook for. I kept the phone so I could utilize it for Google Voice, but Apple you're killing it. Come on now, fix it. Obviously this post (and probably others) prove it is a HUGE issue. We don't want some new feature in the OS.....we want fixes for the problems we are experiencing

Same issue here. 15 pro max. Literally 25x per day I lose all connectivity to my router. Need to disconnect from WiFi then reconnect. And within milliseconds, my WiFi is 100% perfect.

this is an issue only with my iPhone. My android, Apple TV, and every other WiFi connect device has 100% uptime.

But it happens everywhere, work, home, everywhere. Its the phone.

this has been happening on my iPhone 15 pro max this past month. It’s software related. Apple needs to fix this asap

Getting back on wifi is not the problem.

Why does it continue to drop off of wifi? I can't look at the phone every second.

I never got a text saying I'm using too much of my data plan on my old phone. I get 5 or 6 of them a months now.

I have this problem too. It only started after the last update to 17.4.1 - has never been an issue before and I've had my phone probably 2-3 years at least. It is a iphone 12 pro max. It disconnects from wifi, goes back to 5G (where I have terrible service in the house), then randomly will connect to wifi again but not long enough for me to use it effectively. Definitely a problem with the phone itself.

I also have this problem with an iPhone 13 Pro Max, my data plan provider has been charging me way too much extra GB for months even though my plan includes 10Gb with unlimited all social apps and calls

last month I understood why when my recurrent payment card didn’t go through and I didn’t have Cell Data available

for a whole week my phone kept disconnecting and reconnecting to Wifi everywhere, I’ve done tests with my work phone (iPhone SE) I disabled cell data and it never disconnected from Wifi

Everything connected to my office and home WiFi networks work perfectly fine… iPads, Smart TVs, Alexas, security cameras, Laptops, people who’ve come to visit with iPhones and Samsung phones. etc

But with my phone every 5-10 minutes the wifi disconnects, sometimes I have to manually select my network again or simply wait a couple of minutes

So its a pain to scroll Social media, Can’t even watch a video peacefully before it freezes waiting for a connection.

I’ve done everything suggested online but nothing works

For a phone this expensive this should not be an issue, not to mention how expensive this has become before I realized the problem

Same here.. 17.4.1 iPhone 14 Pro Max.. it randomly disconnects from 5ghz network without knowing the issue here.. I tried every option possible but nothing works.. I think it’s the time to switch to Huawei:))))

Any resolution for this? I’ve tried to reset it so many times but still doin it. Idk what to do anymore. First i thought it was my wifi, but i have androids and iphone7 too and they’re perfectly fine. 😩

same problem here, wifi just drops out randomly … often says “incorrect password” when trying to reconnect. My partner’s android phone still works on the same router.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.5.1 .. using TP-link mesh network (whilst sitting in the same place on the primary router).

Since the last 4 days on my iphone 11, I haveexhausted all possible software solutions for wifi disconnecting on 5gHz. Whether its network setting, all setting, reboot, erase phone to what not, its been a mess and crazy few days and problem stays where it was. Wifi refuses to connect and work does not get done.

Someone pls help

Why MY WIFI keeps DISCONNECTING WHY

Telling us to restart the phone, or anything like that, is not solving anything,

We all know how to get back on wifi, ...why does it continue to drop off of wifi?

What iphone model do you have if you don’t mind me asking? I’m running into the same issues and I’ve done everything including restarting my entire phone. I have an iphone 11 pro max
