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.

You've probably tried this but if you haven't go into the WiFi settings and find your connected router. Tap on the littie i next to the router's name. First make sure that Auto-Join is turned on. If it is make sure that configure IP and DNS are set to Auto, unless you use a static IP and DNS. After checking all that, I would then tap on Forget This Network at the top of the page. I would then restart the phone and at the same time, reboot the wireless router. Once both are fully rebooted, go back into the Settings>Wi-Fi and tap on your router. You will need to reenter your router password and then join. Again, after you have rejoined that you tap on the little i again and make sure Auto-Join is turned on and configure IP and DNS are set to auto.
If all else fails, you may need to see if your router has a firmware update available.
iOS 11.2.5 nothing fixed. WiFi disconnects on watching vids or downloading apps also it causes my other devices to lose WiFi for few mins. Lol. Last iPhone for me
I have the same problem every now and then
I’ve been having this issue as well and none of the suggested fixes help. Is there a projected time frame for when we can expect this issue to be resolved?
Thanks!
Yes but if I do so , I’d have to connect to it mannually everytime I get home...
Thanks anws dude
I’m getting this problem as well. Please fix it Apple
My phone is doing the same thing! I have turned off the WiFi, released it, reset the phone, turned off Bluetooth, etc. and it keeps dropping. My OS is 11.2.1 and it is an iPhone 6. All the other devices in the house are fine, laptops, iPad, printer etc.
I believe it is something with one of the latest updated. This had never happened before. I also tried turn off a VPN connection but that did not help either. I have taken to turn off my cell service in the house and letting it drop, ugg! It does ask for the password but then connnects anyway. Crazy 😜. I can conclude that it is not the network, or provider but something with the IPhone/OS combination. I have an old 4 iphone and it stays on the network with no issues. Help!
I had "band steering" enabled on my Linksys LAPAC2600 APs, which requires the same SSIDs be used for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. For the short time I've been running with only the 2.4 GHz SSID active, the behaviour seems better. Thanks for the tip.
Let me tell you.
I am an IT guy, managing network and wireless at my company. I've been receiving tons of complaint about this. And I spent a lot of time to research this problem. I can say this is a feature of IOS. I'm not trolling.
This feature supposed to help save battery. It seems good.
BUT THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS THAT APPLE DOESN'T LET USER CHOOSE USE OR NOT USE THAT FEATURES. AND I CAN MAKE SURE ANDROID DOES.
I like everything of IOS but this feature.
Apple, please add just one button to turn on/off this feature. I don't think it's so difficult to you.
I think not the phone is the problem but rather your router settings. I had the same issue, but also on iOS 10. I’ve changed the router’s wireless channel bandwith to a specific one not to auto (mine can work on : 20MHz/40MHz/Auto). I set to 40, worked like a charm.
Thanks a lot buddy, Auto-Join was OFF, this solved me problem (ON)
