Updated my 6s and now my WiFi speeds are at a crawl mostly under 25mbs in the same room as a laptop getting 75mbs download speeds.
I’ve done a Forced Restart
Toggled WiFi on/off
Forgotten WiFi networks
Reset WiFi networks
Turned off Location Services
Etc etc etc
The only thing I have done is reset the entire phone 📱
Anyone else reporting these issues?
Try connecting to WiFi on the 5 GHz band instead of 2.4 GHz if your router has the option. This worked for me.
I had this same problem since I upgraded to iOS 11 on my iPhone 6S Plus. I tried everything suggested except for a full restore.
I was connected to my router via the 2.4 GHz band when having the problem. I would get >50 Mbps on my Macbook but <1 Mbps on my iPhone when running a speed test.
I instead connected my iPhone to my router's 5 GHz band and have consistently been getting >50 Mbps on my iPhone now and have had no problem with WiFi on iOS 11 since switching bands.
I hope this helps all of you.
Anyone know how to tell WHICH WiFi chip we have in our devices?
My wife’s white iPhone 6 works perfectly while my black iPhone 6 chugs. They both have over 4gigs free. Both on ATT but that shouldn’t matter on WiFi
You wrote “Plus one thing that really annoys me! Is the volume rockers now control the volume on the media and not your ringer!!! Which is really annoying!!!”
This is an easy fix.
Go to settings, click on Sounds and Haptics, find the Change with Buttons switch, and turn it on.
None of the techniques listed above in this thread, or on Mac tech websites, have worked for me (except that I did not try complete factory reset (with no restore).
So, I'm just hoping for an Apple fix in 11.0.3+? or 11.1
After much trial and error, I believe this is why I am slow.
Oh I should mention my slowness is back. The mail program esp is unresponsive for 5-10 seconds once I activate the app.
It’s like you said, it’s not waking up quickly. My wife’s iPhone 6 is not having this issue. Nor her iPad. Just my iPhone 6.
Slow when open webpages too.
That’s getting a little over my head... but when I get back on laptop I will check.
I have noticed a much faster response time on mail when checking messages.
Hmm. I am on 29.1 on carrier update even after the update. Let me check wife’s phone.
Both my wife and I are on carrier update 29.1. Strange that we are behind you. Could that be because of model of phone?
My mail does seem snappier with the carrier update. Wonder why AT&T took a month to issue it. Grr
I will keep you posted
you know.....I just recently got my 5g to work (had to get a new gateway from AT&T as my last one was bad) and I have noticed some hanging.
Somehow my sonos is on the 5g....so I had to be on it to control the Sonos. Let me try running on the 2.4 for a while
Never had this problem on any iPhone, even after upgrading my 7+ to 11.0 and then 11.1.
Bought an iPhone X, wifi performance positively atrocious. 0.5Mbps while any other device in the house right next to it does 200-300+Mbps.
I’ve also been having the same issue the last few weeks. I’ve done every possible solution on the site and after completely restoring my phone from scratch it worked for about a week and then came back. Phone is basically unuseable for downloading or uploading anything on Wi-Fi.
I totally agree, whatever helps only helps for a while. The issue comes back.
So let’s discuss this....
Is there a WiFi cache? I have issues on mail PLUS safari. Plus in some apps (I am talking to you CNN and The Weather Channel) that take FOR-EVER to load. Could some cache be full?
Could it be the WiFi session doesn’t close and thus it keeps thinking it has an open session?
Could it be carrier related? Bad SIM card?
Obviously I am an end user who is just supposing.
And WHY would my wife’s phone and iPad have no issues?
My wife’s white iPhone is acting as expected. Mine is black. Hmm.
In all seriousness, aren’t there two different WiFi chips, one Qualcomm one someone else? How do we tell what we have? Could this be the issue as I remember one is slower than the other?
I hope it keep working for you. My WiFi is two different connections, one 2.4 and one 5. I think I will mess around with the settings also.
That still wouldn’t explain why my wife’s devices act perfectly.
I'm experiencing similar issues.
I have fios Gig speed and my mb pro is getting speeds around 400MB down/800MB up via the 5G ac network. My iPhone X on the other hand is getting speeds around 50MB down/400 MB up via the same network. I've been back and forth with verizon but they insist the home is receiving full Gig service speed and it must be a hardware issue on my end (right).
Also, I had 150MB/150MB speeds at my previous home and would consistently get that or higher using either device.
Also tried fidgeting with all the setting on the phone and restarting/hard restarting, etc. to no avail.
Not making any sense/adding up to me...
All in the same network:
How can I fix this ? I have latest high-speed Linksys Router and full WiFi signal
Thanks
What worked? I've tried literally everything. Reset network settings, tried 3 routers, wiped the phone. Ready to switch to a Pixel 2 XL to be honest. So sick of this crap. Using Fiber 1G, iPhone 7+, 6S+, 6+, iOS 10,11(GA),11(Beta). All suck. FFS #apple
ios 11 slow wifi speeds
