iPhone keeps disconnecting from WiFi

Actually i tried this already in older IOS version like 9 and 10. It didn't help. Yesterday I upgraded my phone to 11.2.5 and fortunately your trick works.
I realize that this issue just happen with wireless which have captive portal authentication. It my environment, user must login via the authentication portal everyday. If we turn off autologin it won't pop up the portal automatically. Anw, i'll tell user try that trick. And when they want to login, just turn autologin on, and then turn it off after connected. Thank you.

I have the very same problem with my iPhone and my iPad. I am in contact with Apple support. I am able to reproduce this problem by pressing the power button. After a few seconds of standby, the WiFi connection is gone. This is not a problem with the router.
a.) It is reproducable in other environments

b.) Other devices (non iOS) remain connected

The problem exists with 5GHz as well as with 2.4GHz.

For testing I have turned auto-reconnect off.

It seems (but I have to test that again to confirm) that open WiFis (w/o WPA2) are a lot more stable on iOS devices.

Cheers,

Hi

Sorry to interrupt this thread but im having the same issue as above and have tried everything including a complete reset of my phone. My WiFi just will not stay connected.

Please help as its really annoying me now.

I am having the exact problem with my iPhone 6S Plus forgetting my home wifi password and dropping wifi and forcing me to re-enter to reconnect.

This also is happening on my 5th gen iPod Touch and my 1st gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch.

In addition, my iPod battery is going bezerk and either running down in a few minutes or the screen gives the red “BatteryLow” warning. But when I plug it in to charge, it has 80% or more life.

Simiarly, my iPad Pro battery no longer charges. AT ALL with the square 5-watt charger that CAME WITH IT. It ONLY takes a charge with a $25 Apple 12-watt rectangular charger I had to buy separately.

ALL these problems appeared after I “updated” IOS to 11.2.

Please. Fix.

Please check your wifi network is selected as home network or public network

1) If it’s selected as home network then it will not get disconnected after a network reset

2) if it’s selected as public network as per IOS a safety feature and battery saver option kicks in which allows the wifi to connect only when you are using your cell.

Hope it works

Hi

I believe this is an issue with the new update. Never had any such issue but only post the new update 11.3.1 that I have been facing similar issues of the WiFi home network getting disconnect frequently. Esp when the phone is on standby mode. Every time I open example Whatsapp it keeps asking me to connect to available networks.

Can someone check the Apple update 11.3.1

Here is the solution I found in a small post of my website:

Updated to 11.0.2 this morning and it’s still just as bad. Proper doing my head in.

Ive done everything the forums suggest so I’m at a loss now.

While writing this it disconnected 3 times. I know it’s not our WiFi as hubby is on a sony phone with zero issues.

Grrr

Please fix this Apple. Ruins all wifi related experience. Remote control, streaming, browsing. Apple is really going backwards. Wifi was great until iOS11. iOS11 isn’t worth anything without reliable WiFi. I’m an old power user and I’ve done everything imaginable. When I post it’s because I’m frustrated. Please fix this $hit!

I also get this in ios 11.1.1 iphone 8

i tried to ping iphone ip address, and it time out in 20-30 second after screen lock / sleep.

this issue really annoying, wifi should at least on or have choice to do that.

Same thing here. iOS 10, 11 doesn’t matter. New iOS today 11.2 and same thing tonight. No rhyme or reason. Just disconnects. I’m getting really frustrated !!! APPLE—-FIX THIS !!! While I wrote this, it disconnected and went to LTE. UGH !!

I have the same issue, but since 3 days. My iPhone is disconnecting from the wifi every minute, ex:LTE, HomeWIFI, LTE, HomeWIFI, etc.... I rebooted the network, tried different setting, renamed my SSID, Installed iOS 11.2.5 (after the problem appears), I restarted and cleaned the memory of my iPhone, etc.... I noticed that the WIFI is low and high by moment without explanation. I also needed to re-enter the password on my known network's. I have two other iPhones in the same house, but neither shows this behavior. Other computers, phones and printers stay connected. It seems to be a software or a hardware troubleshooting. Does anyone have clues ?

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I'm pretty savvy with home networking and followed your (solid) suggestion to the letter. Upon rebooting of my router and reattaching my iPhone to the network I did get a new IP address assigned, so I'm certain I did everything I could. Five minutes later my 6s (on 11.2.6) dropped off the network and continued to do so.

I truly believe this is an Apple issue and I hope it is resolved soon.

I have only one Question that when this problem will be resolved ? I just faced this problem tonight, its keep on disconnecting autonatically but when i tap settings and then Wifi it connects automatically :( that bad experience please resolve it as soon as possible, as apple is my first and last love ever !!

I have had this problem on my mini iPad since the time I upgraded to iOS 11.

I’v tried everything and nothing worked. But I’v noticed that it may connect nicely only to the wifi network that hasn’t ever connected to my iPhone!!

It’s really crazy thing
