iOS 17.2 WiFi connectivity issues

Nothing more to add beyond what everyone else already has. This still seems to be persisting daily on all phones in the household, all on the current iOS.

Didn’t help me. iPhone 12, iOS 17.2.1. Also, I can’t turn off WiFi 6 on my phone since it’s a little older.

in settings, my WiFi “check mark” will not appear to the left of the network name. It is continually spinning and will not connect. An immediate affect after upgrading to the current IOS 17.2.1🤬

I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 11. Keeps dropping my wifi connection then tells me my password is wrong when I try to reconnect. Any idea of when apple will fix this? So frustrating

I have the same problem now with three devices, 2 updated to iPadOS 17.2 and one to tvOS17.2 the devices are struggling to pick up wifi. Never felt this disappointed with an Apple product.

What if you have 13 Pro max? I don't have the wifi6e mode showing and this problem is driving me crazy

I have the same problem with my new 15 Pro. We have poor 4G coverage in the house so I rely on wifi calling and it’s useless unless I’m standing next to a router. Totally unacceptable for such an expensive device. Wish I still had my old 11. My partner can sit next to me with an old 11 working perfectly while my 15 Pro has no connection to anything. I’ve tried the fixes mentioned above but don’t seem to have the same options available to enable/disable.

Hi what kind if router do you have? Also try to go to settings- general - transfer or reset ( 2nd to last option) - reset - reset network settings …. Give it a try but also depends on your router too make model?

I think I resolved it. After a lot of messing around with settings on both the router and iPhone (7+ iOS 15) it's working again. Not sure what the exact fix was and I'm hesitant to go back prodding, but I think it might be turning off 5GHz on my router and using 2.4GHz only.

I think someone mentioned that the update could be due to iOS failing to switch between 5GHz and 2.4GHz, so I just locked it to one. I left all the other settings OFF IPv6, private IP.

Since then it's picked a sensible IP address each time and connected no matter what else is going on with my local network.

I hope they fix this issue though, it's been fine for 6+ years on this phone and router combo.

Turning off private wifi address didn’t work for me - standard iPhone 14.

The only thing I was able to try which is allowing the wifi to slightly work now is that I configured the IP manually. I just copied from the auto settings and typed them in manually. This may work for you also

I had this issue with 17.2.1, and resetting my phone and turning off the VPN didn't help. What actually worked was my Apple iPhone said my router was broadcasting several channels and recommended I restarted the router, so I did, and POOF, what do you know? I had WiFi back in an instant.

I am using a 14plus, IOS 17.2.1.

I have also been working with TP Link related to issues with the Deco BE16000. I can connect to my main router without issues, but when I move throughout the house (and near one of the other nodes) I get disconnected. Attempts to reconnect are met with "incorrect password" and the only solution is to return to the main Deco where I reconnect without any issues (and without entering the password).

TP Link has been very helpful, and I'll have my third remote session with them early next week. We've tried lots of things and I currently have USB's plugged into 2 of the nodes to (hopefully) document when/why the issue persists.

I did NOT have this issue with my Wifi 6e mesh routers - only after I upgraded to Wifi7.

I was excited (not really) to see that I wasn't the only person having issues. I'll provide an update early next week.

Iphone 14 plus, IOS 17.2.1

Tried turning off the "private wifi network" but my phone still disconnects when I move away from the main router when I try to connect to one of the nodes, I am given the error message that password is incorrect. The only way to reconnect is to return to the main router where I connect easily (and without reentering the password).

Not only do I get an Exchange account password error message, but now it just won’t connect to WiFi, even after putting the good password over and over again. All other devices (desktop or tv) use WiFi without any problems. Please, fix this!!

I have also been working with TP Link/Deco related to the same issues with I-phone 14 Plus, and IOS 17.3. Although TP link is still reviewing my router logs, they mentioned that it has something to do with the Apple encryption which prevents the phone from staying connected.
