iOS 10.3.2 causing wifi issues

I've updated to my three devices to iOS 10.3.2 and I'm having serious network issues at the newest of them (iPhone 7). The issue is that the wifi connection is extremely slow and it looks only one connection at the time is being served (e.g. while using one app that uses Internet I can't use other app that does the same - example: when AppStore is downloading an update, Safari won't open a page untill AppStore is done).

I've tried to forget and reconnect to wifi, and later I've reseted all network settings but it hasn't helped. This happens with multiple wifis, so I believe the issue is with the iPhone, not with my router or anything else.

I'm surprised as my other iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 have no issues and their wifi is working as a charm.

Can anyone suggest some other tricks I can try? I'm leaving restoring my iPhone as the very last resort...

iPhone 7, iOS 10.3.2

I've browsed tens of old threads and it looks I've found the issue... The wifi goes full speed when I disable bluetooth (with BT on - 0.65 mbit / without BT - 42 mbit). It has never happened before with previous firmwares, looks it's the 10.3.2 exclusive issue.

I really need BT on constantly as I keep my headphones on most of the time and I use my handsfree in my car. Temporarily I can live with switching BT on and off but not for long.

Looks the only long term solution is to wait for 10.3.3 and keep fingers crossed this issue would go away... 😟

I have noticed the same problem with my iPhone. I found that if you forget the network and then join the network again, you will then have wifi connectivity on your iPhone. The only problem is you have to do this whenever you notice your wifi has dropped. 😠

I have got iphone 6 with the same OS version but there is not such kind of issue but on my iphone 7 it does.

iphone 7 frequently dropping the Wi-Fi connectivity, I have already reset the network settings, restarted my router but nothing helped.

This cannot be a hardware failure as it was working fine with the earlier version of OS, the only hope is Apple may release some new OS update to fix this issue.

Sorry to disappoint but it is a hardware issue. Since my last post i have an update.

got a brand new device and everything is working perfectly fine. My best guess is that the update caused some hardware issues on the device. Theres really no other explanation.

Good Luck!

Disabling Bluetooth didn't work for me

I have an iPhone 6s and it will connect to wifi then disconnect within a minute or stay for 10 minutes. Sometimes it won't connect at all unless I restart my phone, extremely annoying!
