I updated to iOS 17.2 and have been experiencing WiFi connectivity problems and related speed problems. I can usually “fix” this by powering my phone off (iPhone 13 pro max). Sometimes I have to power off more than once. WiFi calling also seems to be having issues (randomly not working). Anyone else having either of these issues?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17
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.
It's driving me crazy. I know it's the update that has broke my phone doing all the same things everyone else is describing. I have to travel an hour and half tomorrow to go to an appointment in Cambridge for the Apple store to look at it. I'm going to be so mad if they say it's faulty and make me pay for the fix. It's only 18 months old. I have spent my entire day today from 8:30 am right till now trying to sort it out. Hours on the phone with Apple tech then factory resetting. It's a joke Apple. Just own up and take responsibility and fix it
Yes Apple, WTH! I have to reconnect to my WiFi when I need to access apps to connect some of my home appliances because it shows there is no WiFi connection. Initially I thought it was my router needing a restart or my phone. None worked! Unless I set my phone to airplane mode with WiFi on it is then that connects and shows that it’s connected to my WiFi.
Done with apple? Okay stop it lol … you went 0 to 100 real fast smh 🤦♂️
I got exactly the same problem. Its less than a month that i bought a new 13
I didn’t have that 6E option but did turn off PRIVATE WIFI ADDRESS (at least while I’m home- use VPN when I’m not anyway) and that helped a lot too!
Same problem with wifi connectivity as of December 28th, 2023. Iphone 15 (updated to 17.2.1)
I just tried this after going through every other possible solution, and it worked. Thanks for sharing this.
Hello Everybody if you have this issue just go to settings press the i to your connected WiFi then turn off private WiFi address and it’s fixed
Same issues and removed/reset my VPN solved the issue. I am using VPN Hotspot Shield (from Dashlane) .
Same problem on 11 Pro with 17.2.1. I've tried to change probably every possible setting and nothing helped. Finally I've disconnected 5Ghz Wi-Fi in router settings and problems are gone.
Problem disappeared with iOS 17.3, and iOS 17.3.1. Was able to turn everything back on and have no special settings.
Wi fi continues to drop in favour of 5G. All devices affected. Sooooo frustrating.
This solution works for me, but sometimes it reverts back to Automatic and I have to go back and turn it off again.
