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?

I got the iphone 8 plus about three weeks ago and since the day I got it I noticed it would constantly disconnect from wi-fi as soon as I locked my phone. After spending 3 hours on the phone with an apple rep. Who had me reset my phone, my router, and connect to itunes for software I still had the same problem. Today while trying to connect to wi-fi I accidentally clicked the i on the right side and realized there’s an auto join button which was off. I clicked it on and my problem was fixed!!! I have not disconnected from wi-fi. I even left my house and it joined automatically when I got back.

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.
