iOS 17.2 WiFi connectivity issues

Same issue on a 14 ProMax. WiFi keeps dropping out for no reason. Every other device is connected with no issue. Including multiple Apple TVs, other iPhones, iPads and Macs. Highly frustrating especially since 17.2 was supposed to FIX these issues.

Same issues and sometimes I also lose cellular as well.

iOS 17.2 noticed it, iOS17.2.1 still happening.

Running iPhone 13 Pro Max on Verizon

One troubleshooting step I just did is remove any VPN profile, although I don't think this was the problem as I would have connection via VPN after reboot.

Grrr more flaky software from a once great company, did the recent update & my Iphone 14pro max is slow & unresponsive like there is no wifi connection what so ever. Who was the dumb arse who let this release out into the world without proper testing? Where is the rollback patch?

Same issues on iPhone 13 pro max. Show’s connected to WIFI but nothing works. I see I'm not the only one and also afraid to update to macOS 14.2.

This has ben happening to me since I updated to iOS 17, too. 17.2 was supposed to remedy the issue, but I've still got the same problems. Incredibly frustrating!

Iphone 15 pro max and ios 17.2 definitely has wifi bugs! On settings- wifi shows I am connected to the wifi but on top right side of screen it shows 5g no wifi connection and my performance is dropping so its using 5g… means how I am maybe 15 feet from the tp link wifi 7 deco 16000 mesh unit… smh ios 17 has been a big disappointment honestly so far

Unfortunately, no problems until 17.2. Have had to reconnect thru phone several times just to leave this message. (Argh, make that several times +1). (IOS 17.2 phone and IPADOS 17.2 M1 iPad)

Still having major issues with connectivity to WiFi with all my Apple devices! (iPhones, Apple Watch, iPads, Mac). When is Apple going to get this fixed! Extremely cumbersome especially for iPads and computers! They have know of this issues for over 3 months and still no fix! Anybody have any tips. Have reset networks on all devices, shut off and on so many times! No other devices but Apple have this issue.

For the past two weeks, I have been in contact with TP-Link Deco Wi-Fi engineers, explaining the issues and providing logs from the router. They have now identified that these issues occur when the device attempts to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz or 6 GHz on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They have also tested other Apple devices (non-iPhone), such as the Apple TV and MacBook, and have confirmed that this issue does not occur on them. They are currently working with the Apple support team to determine whether this is a software or hardware issue. The devices are struggling to switch frequencies smoothly, resulting in disconnection from the router. Hopefully, a solution can be found soon. TP-Link's R&D team has been working on recreating the issues and has successfully done so. They will be presenting their findings to Apple.

*** POSSIBLE SOLUTION for WiFi problems! For iphone 15 pro models … After consulting with Apple and my router company, I discovered a potential solution. Go to Settings, select WiFi, then press the little "i" in the circle on the right side of your connected WiFi. In the middle, you should see "WiFi 6E mode" - change it from automatic to off. I have done this and the results have been excellent so far. I will continue to keep you updated. (If this is the problem, Apple really needs to address and fix it.)

Just so everyone knows... this works. As soon as I remove the VPN profile, I immediately connect to WiFi and to cellular.

Frustrating because I'm always on a VPN for work, but until this is fixed I can't stay connected.

Yes, similar issues. I'm having random connection issues with apps and websites when on the cellular (VZW) connection that disappear when connected to WiFi. These started after I upgraded to 17.2. I'm also having Outlook sync issues after upgrading to MacOS 14.2 but will start a different thread for that.

I got this wifi problem 3 days ago on my iPhone 11 and I thought something's wrong with the hardware. Then I upgraded it to iPhone 12. Same thing!

My problem: It (my iPhone 11 or iPhone12) can intermittently connect to my mesh network (1x ASUS TUF GAMING AX4200 + 1x ASUS RT-AX57). 90% it fails! It can acquire the IP but most of the time (after waiting for tens of minutes) "Router", which is supposed to by the main router's IP, is empty; if it's not empty, then "No internet" appears under my Wifi name (with a tick indicating Wifi connection is established).

Tries:

1. Disable Wifi 6 on my network
2. Disable Limit Address Tracking and/or Private Wifi Address on my iPhone
3. Reset my iPhone's Network settings
4. Reboot my iPhone

NONE WORK!!!! The circle next to my Wifi name just turns around and around!

Apple is becoming worse and worse... So frustrated!

Upgraded to 17.2.1 and im running on 13 , still got the problem. I have to shut down again in order to use internet.

Well the 15 pro became a total dud and this company became a big scam , no wifi anymore bye bye . Everything you connect to has no connction.

Never in this life i will ever buy a IOS device. Im done

The audacity to keep messing up our devices on a global scale is insane.

I am done bye apple .
