Wifi and GPS problem

Hello to all 🙂.

I have a couple of questions. Does anyone experience WiFi signal dropping and disconnecting and GPS not working correctly when is need to determine your location on IOS 11.1.1? I don't have WiFi when I'm not near my router, even when i got to the second room (which is approximately 0.5 meters away), it instantly lose connection to WiFi and when I want to connect again, I got an error "Incorrect password" even if password is typed correctly. Also GPS is affected. Where ever I go it can determine a location, but when I want to use GPS guiding in Google Maps and Apple Maps, a little dot, which represent you, it just standing in place. It's not moving at all when I'm driving.

I have tried everything. Resetting network settings, location and privacy, the whole phone to factory settings and nothing help. Everything happen when I have updated my Iphone 6 (16 GB) to latest firmware IOS 11.1.1. Which suppose fixing a letter I bug in auto correction and Hey Siri, but its broke other, more valuable things like GPS and WiFi.

So guys does anyone else experience this problems and is there any solutions? Or I need to wait 11.2 to fix those things.

iPhone 6, iOS 11.1

Hi.

I’ve tried everything and nothing work. I have found on forums and all over the internet, that a lot of people experience same or similiar problem, esspecialy Iphone 6 users. It’ started with Software update, so I realise like everyone that is a IOS bug. I hope that Apple will fix it soon.
