I get no WiFi on my iPhone 12 even though it's connected

wifi is switched on on my iPhone 12, connection with wifi is made, yet no internet connection or wifi symbol on start screen. The transfer of data from my old phone is stuck, i cannot connect to the cloud or app store. what tot do?

Also no connection through data via SIM.

This way I can't complete transfer, I can't go back (because i can't log on to apple ID without internet connection), i seem to be stuck.

Hello,


It might be something with the Wi-Fi connection type that the iPhone does not like e.g. 802.11a vs. b vs. c or router settings need to be tweaked e.g. not enough IP addresses for DHCP etc. If you have other Apple devices connected just fine then it could be a problem with the iPhone. Another thing to try is to check your cellular data settings in case you have not already: Use cellular data on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Try to disable Wi-Fi and just use cellular data to see if you get an internet connection once you have done above via the article... Besides that it might be a hardware issue requiring repair or at least a diagnostic run (you can do this yourself if you search online on how to put the iPhone into diagnostic mode but be cautious when doing it; I have never tried it before). Again, tough to diagnose this over the forums. All the best!

Thanks Patrick,


Eventually I found where I could stop the iPhone from trying to download from the cloud, while not being connected.

After that, I was able to wipe the iPhone and start anew.

The second try was succesfull, but now and again the wifi-icon disappears, even though the settings say it's connected and other devices are running fine using that wifi connection.

It does say 4G, I have plenty of data left, still I can't access internet.

Is this a flawed phone, or is there a way to fix this?


Cheers!
