MY iPhone 6 while in my house kicks me off my wifi which is causing me overage on my bill. How can I fix this problem
Your iPhone doesn't "kick you off WiFi". Perhaps your router does. However, the iPhone turns off WiFi when it goes to sleep to preserve the battery unless it is connected to power, which means that any background processes will use cellular data.
Do you have wifi assist enabled?
About Wi-Fi Assist - Apple Support
The default is to use cellular data when wifi is slow or performing badly, perhaps you want to disable that feature? Do you know if your wifi reception is patchy? Do other devices work well on the same wifi?
You can also disable cellular data when at home.

See this if you want to view how fast the connected wifi is…

See if it drops where you use or store your device.
FALSE.
The "iPhone drops wifi when in standby to preserve battery" it's a metropolitan legend.
IT's not true.
NO device (Apple, Samsung, LG, etc) does that thing.
Every device quel connected to wifi stay allways connected.
Apple devices are linked when in wifi mode for the handoff function and when you've an incoming call Mac, iPad, etc will ring too and you can answer on the Mac or iPad.
If iPhone drops wifi how can you do that?
LIsten to me, the problem it's not iPhone...the problem are the routers. Some routers kick off the devices when inactive.
I had the problem too and I resolved buyin and Airport Express.
Cite your source. A simple web search finds hundreds of instances where people report that the iPhone, when locked and not connected to power, disables wi-fi.
With the lack of any sources, and the fact that my personal experience aligns with Mr. Finch's, I'll take his observation over yours.

It is 100% true. Here's how to prove it to yourself:
Handoff works using BlueTooth, not WiFi. See: Get help using Continuity with your iOS device or your Mac - Apple Support. The devices communicate using BlueTooth when a call arrives. The BlueTooth connection wakes the phone, and allows WiFi to connect because the phone is now awake.
It's NOT TRUE.
Let's begin:
My house: iPhone and iPad disconnected after 5 minutes in lock mode (stand by)
My office: iPhone and iPad stay ALWAYS CONNECTED, even after 10 hours in stand by
My mom: iPhone and iPad stay ALWAYS CONNECTED, even after 10 hours in stand by
My friend: iPhone and iPad disconnected after 5 minutes in lock mode (stand by)
So, if what you say it's true, tell me HOW can iPhone and iPad stay connected after hours and hours in stand by?
The rules you say it's applied EVERY TIME or NEVER.
So, stop with this legend about "saving battery" because it's NOT TRUE. I talked with 3 Apple Technics (Genius) and all 3 said to me it's NOT TRUE. The iPhone, LIKE ANY OTHER DEVICE (Samsung, LG, ecc ecc) it's made to stay always connected to a WIFI connection. The only exception it's for the "PUBLIC WIFI", in that case they disconnect after some time of inactivity.
Tell my another thing: how it is possibile that WHEN I CHANGED MY ROUTER (I bought a better router) I solved the problem and now my iPhone and iPad stay ALWAYS CONNECTED even after ALL THE NIGHT?
So, this thing about "saving battery" it's a FAKE.
My iPhone and iPad are ALWAYS CONNECTED to the WIFI and if they disconnect from YOUR wifi the problem it's THE ROUTER.
Have you done the test I described? If you haven't I feel perfectly safe in ignoring you.
There are thousands of posts over 8 years saying (and complaining) that WiFi turns off when the phone goes to sleep. Either thousands of people are all wrong, or you are wrong. I know where I'm putting my money.
Done the ping test in my house right now and you know what? The test it's OK and my iPhone was in standby by 30 minutes.
Do whatever u want with your money, I don't care, but I repeat: MY IPHONE IS ALWAYS CONNECTED TO WIFI and iPhones and iPads of my friends too.
I had the problem and I solved it by CHANGING THE ROUTER.
Bye bye.
My iPhone kicks me off wifi In my house how can I fix this
