iPhone X wifi issues

That is a totally different issue than the subject of this thread. With iOS 11 the button in the control panel no longer toggles Wi-Fi. Instead, it disconnects from the current network but leaves Wi-Fi enabled. A very useful feature that I use daily. See: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center with iOS 11 - Apple Support for more information

But have no fear, there are still FOUR ways to turn Wi-Fi on and off:

• Settings/Wi-Fi: OFF
• "Hey Siri, turn off Wi-Fi"
• Hold the HOME button: "Turn off Wi-Fi"
• Press on the Settings icon and tap Wi-Fi on the pop-up menu

I went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store and thank goodness I got an employee who knew his stuff! I let him know about the whole issue I was having with my WIFI at home and how I was trying the WIFI at the apple store and I was not having any issues like I have at home.

The first thing he asked me was what kind of router I had (I have Uverse Internet so ATT provided me with their router), he said there are two WIFI frequencies you router broadcasts and did I know which one I was connected to? I said I have no clue, I just sign in to my WIFI network name and put in the password.

He said your router has two WIFI frequencies, one is 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The iPhone X is the first iPhone that has to use 5GHz frequency (if it uses the 2.4 GHz frequency, it will work but cause it to drop, but the phone stays connected to that radio frequency). He ran a diagnostic on my iPhone and said my phone is fine. He asked if my WIFI network name was the same or different name regarding 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I checked my router's info, and it has the same name. He said I would have to name the 5 GHz different from the 2.4 GHz cause my iPhone connects to the first available network (2.4 GHz - since both frequencies were named the same thing, I couldn't tell which one it was connecting to). I renamed my 5 GHz and up until this point, everything is working fine and have had no WIFI dropping issue with my iPhone!

I told them that guy who helped me out deserves a **** bonus!!! I hope you guys understood what I am saying, if not let me know, I will try to explain it better.

But this should RESOLVE the issues we are experiencing with WIF dropping.

Try this ...

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

"resetting the phone,"

There are multiple types resets on an iPhone. I have no way of knowing which one's you have tried that didn't work.

I have been having the same issue with my iPhone X with wifi at home! I have done everything, restarting the network settings and it is still happening. I was on with Apple support 3 weeks ago and they said it was probably my home network and to contact my internet provider, I was like, it's not my internet, it's your phone cause I use to have an android and never had any issue with the same router I use at home!!! No wifi issues at all!!

Glad it helped you but there are several models of routers that AT&T has used and some have had issues with newer WiFi devices as well as Apple's Bonjour so using AirPrint becomes problematic. I just bought my own router and connected it via ethernet to the AT&T box.

Did you manage to resolve this issue? I have exactly the same thing, happens constantly that it says connected to wifi and it is not connected. It shows wifi as off in settings while it is on on when you do the pull over settings menu. You try to turn it on and then it turns off again. I did a reset, now reset network settings, it is a hopeless affair. I thought it was an app, but now I'm more thinking of a faulty chip. A friend of mine has exactly the same while the phone is working fine for others. What did you tell the genius providers? I'm afraid that I will go there and it will be one of the rare instances that it actually works...

I've had the same exact problem and it drove me mad. I changed network settings, restored from back up etc. and eventually got it changed for a new one at the Apple Store last Friday. It just finished restoring from the iCloud back up and seems to be a bit better but its early days. Yesterday it was kept freezing when I was using wifi and then went straight to the web page as soon as I turned it off. This is what kept happening with the old phone. I am not impressed - especially given how much this phone cost. I have had most of the iPhones and did not have this problem on my iPhone 7 plus. My daughter did not upgrade her phone this year and kept last year's iPhone 7 plus but has kept up to date with the iOS updates. Strangely she has not had this problem so maybe its the phone.

It has to do with apps, I had the exact same problem with the new iphone X I got. I went through all of my apps and deleted everything I didn’t use frequently. And now the phone is working normal again. I don’t know which app/combination of apps was causing it, I wasn’t patient enough to test my wifi after every app deletion
