iPhone 8 on iOS11 keeps disconnecting from wifi

Ever since iOS 11 released my phone disconnects from wifi constantly. I know it is not my device specifically bc I had issues on my 6s+ and issues continued when I upgraded to an 8+. Has anyone else had this issue or have a fix for it?

Tried all of that and still having same issues. It happens on multiple wifi networks. I reset my router although I’m not having any issues on other devices, and also reset network settings as well as soft reset on my device. I actually updated software to latest 11.0.3 and it seems like it disconnects even more frequently after the update.

Thanks Brian, but for me I'm able to connect. I'm curious why some users have the auto-login and some not.


As for Hisham's post, I'm running 3 bands; one 2.4 Ghz and two 5 Ghz. What I have noticed is that the iPhone 8 and iPhone X are not stable on the 5 Ghz band. In my case, all iDevices are connected to a dedicated SSID which is a 5 Ghz band. The unstableness hasn't been any issues with iPhone 5, 5s, 6 and 7 Plus...just recently with 8 and X.

I have the last iPad Pro 12.9 (late 2017), after the last upgrade to iOS 11 I started facing unexpected disconnecting from my home and office WiFi!!! I spend time to reconnect and to introduce the pw. Sometimes it takes 15 min connected and suddenly wifi disconnects mainly when loading files or Updating apps. It’s very disappointing. Does apple developpers will fix this WiFi issue in the next iOS upgrade??? Without WiFi what can I do with this machine? Unless to use it as a coffe tray.

I'm still experiencing this issue...except I don't have an iPhone. What I mean is, when anyone with an iPhone running iOS11 tries to connect to my home wifi:


1) they CAN'T connect and

2) it kicks my Android phone off wifi as well


My computers and my tablet are not affected so I don't think it's a router issue more so something with their iPhone settings.
