Hi. My phone is doing exactly the same. I've done the network reset multiple times. I have no cover on it and if I do it's silicone gel. iPhone 6 still can not find any wifi signals. Help please.
Hi Vash_m,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone isn't able to find a Wi-Fi network. Take a look at the article linked below, it has some great suggestions for troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues including what I've highlighted below.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
- Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks. Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
- Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
- If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
- Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
- Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
I hope this helps.

HI Jason L
thank you for responding and I have done that, and nothing happened. and then I found a post saying that their phone cover(with aluminum in it) was actually blocking the wifi receiver, which I thought didn't make sense till I took my cover out and my phone picked up wifi instantly!
THanks once again!
