iPhone keeps disconnecting from WiFi

It seems that my 6S running iOS 11 will frequently disconnect from my home WiFi. When I go into the first settings page to see what's up, it will show that no WiFi is connected I then have to go into the next page to see the list of Networks and then have to choose my home network. Eventually, when the phone is sleeping, it will disconnect from WiFi. Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

Had this problem recently too. One solution recommended on sites is to "reset network settings" but that would mean losing all saved passwords for the various wifi's that I've visited before so that didn't sound good.

What I did do is clicked the I (info) to the right then clicked "Forget This Network". I then re-entered the Apple password & it connected & has been fine since.

I have no idea what triggered the problem to begin with. This is on a 5S w/ 11.3 OS

I now see that 11.3.1 OS is available so that may have caused it (prompting for an upgrade).

I am having this problem with two iPhone 8's both with Version 11.3.1 (15E302) installed. Phones have had network settings reset for wifi, connections forgotten, auto join selected etc. At first, I thought it was the crappy Xfinity cable modem / wireless router, but I put that in bridge mode and connected my own router and still get the same issue. Switches from WIFI to LTE randomly and it doesn't seem to matter if we are sitting right in front of the router or in another room. Same issue.


I see they update the phones for this that and the other, but I haven't really even seen any Apple tech 'truly' address the issue. I would thing a problem that has been happening for over a year warrants heave research time by Apple so a solution can be identified.

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

It is pretty clear to me that Apple does not see this as an IOS issue. But it IS!!! I tried all things mentioned in these posts. But still each time my phone disconnects. It is even worse because in the flitst WiFi it shows that WiFi is connected to my Network but on the top main screen it says 3g Or 4g, No WiFi symbol. So there is an inconsistency in IIOS. This issue is dragging on for more than a year and Apple Does not take it serious. My non iOS devices do not have this issue. So I give this one more month and if this is not fixed by Apple then I will sell my iPhone and move to Android. It is ridicoulous to work with technology like this and keep get disconnected. Shame on you Apple for not taking this serious.

I have screenshots with the inconsistencies in iOS if needed.
