iPhone 15 PM WiFi and Data Connection Issues

So neither me or att could figure out why my phone wouldn’t stay connected to WiFi or my cellular data and I read the comment about the vpn Wich I had noticed recently and as soon as I deleted it everything worked fine

Thank you. This literally resolved my issue in a few minutes. I had a Norton VPN on my old phone and it transferred over. It was blocking my WiFi connection. I deleted the VPN and problem was solved.

I had the same problem. I turned off Wi-Fi 6E Mode and wifi is now solid. Settings>Wifi>select your network> turn off 6E mode.

I don't see this 6E mode anywhere - can you be more specific?

The problem may be with your wifi modem/router, and not the iPhone. Some internet service providers (ISPs) are having connectivity issues between their equipment and the new iPhone 15/pro/max, with no connection or connection dropping. If you call your ISP, they have a patch, like splitting your network. Any fix from re-setting your network connections on the phone, or re-starting your modem, is likely only temporary.

Maybe try at another WiFi location? Bookstore or coffee shop or maybe even library. I dont know if it would help for the person who has the issue after a few days but if its every 30 minutes you should be able to confirm or refute the argument its your WIfi. In fact also an apple store might work too. Just a thought

"Settings > Wifi > "yourSSID" > Wi-Fi 6E Mode > off"

I dont have that setting. Tells me that the issue MAY BE with implementation of the protocol with SOME vendors. because my Wifi Access Point isnt 6E capable I dont have this option. And I dont have the issue with my Wifi. I wonder if an informal poll of Wifi brands would find any consistency?

I have an older Google H2D Mesh Network device and have no issue. Anyone else wanna chime in?

I‘ve been trying to transfer the data from my old iPhone 13 to my new 15 for 6 days. The 15 keeps dropping the wifi connection. Bought a new router but that didn’t help. All other devices are working fine. Even when the 15 shows full bars, there’s no data downloading. I have deleted the VPN, turned off Bluetooth, toggled the wifi button, toggled the airplane mode button, restarted phone and modem numerous times, reset network settings several times, reset the phone to factory settings 3 times to start over. Nothing works. I‘ve never been so disappointed with an Apple product!

There is no option to get to Wifi 6E when following the steps you described. You might have missed one step.

I have the same problem on my Iphone 15 Pro Max. Wifi is on and off or very slow. All other iphones and ipads work pretty well in the house. It’s so annoying!!

Also...the phone will try to restart the Wi-Fi 6E Mode from time to time. So, if you have issues again it might be that you have to turn it off.

And, another weird thing, the option to turn off Wi-Fi 6E mode using the little slider isn't always there!! It appears between Low Data Mode and Private Wi-Fi Address when it is present. Try shutting down and restarting your phone to see if Wi-Fi 6E Mode reappears. It is usually there, just not always.

And when you have managed to turn it off the phone will try to restart the Wi-Fi 6E Mode from time to time. So, if you have issues again it might be that you have to turn it off and reboot.

Frustrating, bbut it works for me.

I have the same connection issue my network internet connection comes and goes and I also have the same issue with home internet, I took the phone to Apple they said they ran a diagnostic test and it's all fine, my network changed the sim card it is the same issue, I updated the setting, it remained same, I changed phone 3 time iPhone 15 pro max its same issue and now 4th time I got iPhone 15 pro instead of Max and unfortunately issue remained the same.

OMG!! After searching for the answer for hours i finally found it. Thank you so much.

So basically after trying everything apple says to try, its probably your VPN. If you set your new phone up and transfer everything over from your old phone, if you have a VPN your new phone will try to use it but it will keep getting messed up. You will notice this by seeing that the VPN settings keep flickering. Simply delete the VPN by going to Settings>General>VPN & Device Management. Then tap the icon next to your VPN and delete it. This should solve your problem.

DO NOT TRY THIS SOLUTION FIRST!!!! PLEASE CONTACT APPLE SUPPORT BEFORE TRYING THIS!!

Only use this solution if nothing else works because you will have to set up your VPN again and thats annoying.

Thanks so much for this info. This was the problem for me. I had Bitdefender VPN on and went into settings (VPN & Device Management) to check this. I saw that it was trying to connect to Bitdefender mobile security app and kept saying connecting... and I couldn't deactivate it. But then I switched to the Bitdefender VPN app in the settings and it worked instantly. So thanks a lot for this information and for those experiencing the same issue, try to make some switches in the VPN & Device Management, maybe it will work. Or just delete the VPN app if you have one.
