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

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

"Why MY WIFI keeps DISCONNECTING WHY"

-------

Getting WiFi to Stay Connected:

Whose network is this? If a public LAN, then ask the Administrator for assistance. If a home LAN, then restart your router. Also, try as provided above.

"But it happens everywhere, work, home, everywhere. It's the phone."

Close All of your Apps:

Depending on your iPhone model, you can close all of your apps in a particular manor. Is there a touchpad on the bottom-middle of iPhone? If so: Tap on it, and swipe up for each app that shows. If no touchpad: Swipe up quickly from the bottom-left corner to the top-right cornet of the phone's screen, and then swipe up for each open app.

and..

"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?"

-------

Three things to try...

Force Restart, Restart the Modem and Router for 30 Seconds, and Log in to your Modem:

Forget the "normal" restart --Force Restart it. All open items will close, and you'll be up to go from there. It may just not be responding. But know that just because you lose connection to the Internet does not mean that you have lost the connection --you may be seen on the internal LAN. So, log into your router using the Default Gateway, and see if it is seen. If so, then you have the connection to the WiFi, but just don't have an IP address. Power off your modem and router for 30 seconds, and then proceed from there. See if you get a new IP address. DHCP is the protocol for home use IMO.

I’m having the same issue with iPhone 13 iOS 17.4.1 - didn’t realise this was happening until I saw the huge amount of data I’ve used this month compared to previous months!

Same here. iPhone 13 Mini/17.4.1. Was absolutely fine prior to this.

I have the same thing on both my iPhones - Xs and 13 mini. Also my wife's iPhone 14 Pro Max doing the same thing from time to time. They all have 17.4.1, seems like a software problem to me.

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

mine Had resolved but when I updated to 17.5 it started back again. The WiFi keeps disconnecting & I have to keep entering the password.

Same here. IPhone 12 Pro running 17.4.1

It’s ridiculous that Apple hasn’t addressed this given how common the problem is.

Have you found an answer to your problem? We are having same problem here. RDH

Yes, Just deleted the McAfee app and all is well. What's up with that?

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. 😩

So I went into an Apple Store. They 'removed a VPN' (Virtual Private Network)

and it works great, now. They didn't tell me how it got on my phone,

how to look for a VPN, or how to remove it if it comes, again.

But, it works fine now.

It’s 2024 and I feel like I’m back in 1984 kicking our TV (in this case my Apple devices including Apple TV) to get shows to play back again. I’m experiencing this in my iPads, IPhones and Apple TV.
