Poor wifi performance on iPhone 7 Plus

I feel like I have pretty poor performance at my home on my new 7 Plus, sitting five feet from the router. Nothing downloading, speed tests haven't changed, only thing new is the iPhone. My wife also has a new 7 Plus, she also has issues and has noticed slowness.

We are coming from a 6S Plus and 6S, respectively. We both noticed the slow down at the same time. Tried force rebooting, tried resetting network settings, tried disabling and enabling wifi assist, and tried disabling wifi networking.

Has this been addressed anywhere else as this is an old thread? I had to log off of my wifi just to get the page to load to get here. I am chewing through my data because of it. I have tried all of the steps mentioned in the recommendations. Completely wiped my phone and started from scratch and still have the problem. No I don't want to run with Siri turned off or with my location settings turned off, but I want my wifi to work.

How do I know what? If you are referring to the speed. I downloaded a speed test app on everyone's phone. Ran it at work and home.

I can tell you guys right now this is the worst iPhone so far, signal, wifi, really everything, guess there was no way to follow up the 6s plus other than with poor excuse of a phone

Having the same problem with my iPhone 7 Plus. I set on the same spot using my iPhone 7, it buffers every few seconds. But with my old phone iPhone 6s there was no issue at all.
