iPhone 6S Plus Wifi won't stay connected

I noticed yesterday that my iPhone 6S Plus wasn't connected to the Wifi at my home. My Wifi is on an Apple Airport Time Capsule with Version 7.7.3. My iPhone is running iOS 9.0.2. I tried resetting the network settings on the iPhone yesterday but it's still having this issue. Wifi is turned on, and when I go into the Wifi settings it shows my network, but it just doesn't automatically connect. If I tap on the network name, it does connect again until it goes to sleep. When it wakes up, it won't automatically reconnect. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can give me with this.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.0.2

Maybe this will help you:

Go to -> Settings

-> Cellular

-> Scroll down to Wi-Fi Assist and turn it off

This makes the iPhone disconnect form Wi-Fi when the connection is poor and automatically uses cellular data. Let me know if it helped you?

I'm having the same problem. None of my other devices (iPad, iphone 5, phone 6, computer) are having any kind of wifi connectivity problems. I tried everything and now tried turning off wifi assist. Doesn't seem to be working now, but I guess I'll give it a day or so before taking it to the genius bar

Both my iPhone 6s and my daughters phone also a 6s is continuously dropping off our home wifi. This after all other apple devices remain connected and we are using an Airport hub. This situation has got worse since 9.2 was downloaded onto our phones. Really irritating to say the least!

Please have a look at this problem Apple.

Same issue. Several complaints regarding this since inception and so far no real response from Apple. Just get the same reset advice which does nothing other than inconvenience the user. Other Apple devices staying connected while 6s+ drops over and over again. This is a phone problem. Every software upgrade I hold my breath it's fixed this problem but nope. Hardware issue??? Currently iOS 9.2.1

My son's iphone 6s is having the same issue, won't stay connected to home wifi, very frustrating as he's burning data.
