There is no Wi-Fi issue for Apple to sort. You need to troubleshoot the issue that you have on your iPhone. It isn’t on all 2 billion iPhones, or even a measurable subset of those iPhones. With that number of devices in use it is certain that some will have issues. As a start, update to iOS 18.2.1.


To get started troubleshooting:

  • Here is a general answer→If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support. If that doesn’t resolve the problem you will have to provide a lot more information, including, among other things:
  • All networks, or one specific network?
  • Is it a secured network, or open network?
  • What is the message when you try to connect?
  • Does the network have MAC filtering enabled (aka Access Control)?
  • Do you control the network, or is it someone else’s network? If you control it, restart your router by removing all power for about 15 seconds.
  • Do you have Private Address enabled for the network?
  • What other troubleshooting have you done?
  • Do you have VPN installed? Try uninstalling it and its profile.
