iPhone 14 Pro repeatedly connects and disconnects from Wi-Fi

My iPhone 14 pro keeps reconnecting and disconnecting to the WiFi every few seconds. The device software is up to date. The same WiFi is used by multiple devices and my phone is the only one acting up. I tried the following and none helped:


  • Resetting network settings.
  • Forgetting the WiFi network and reconnecting.
  • Restarting the device.
  • Turning off WiFi assist.
  • Turning off cellular data.



iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26

If you have an add-on VPN app, remove it, restart, and test again.


Are these problems isolated to one Wi-Fi network, or all networks?


Load the MyWi-Fi shortcut, and post the signal and noise and related info:

and post this section:


We don’t need to know the Wi-Fi network name or the date and time. Both of which were expunged here.


If you have a Mac or PC available, there can be better diagnostics there.

Different Wi-Fi clients can connect to the same Wi-Fi differently, so other clients working mostly means the upstream connection is working.


Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network elsewhere.


Check for newer firmware for the Wi-Fi network, too.


If the iPhone connection fails elsewhere, and the firmware is current, make an appointment with Apple Support.
