My husband was very unlucky with his Iphone 6. I helped him out with all the replacements, etc. and this is what happened with his phone:
I had to update through Itunes to 11.4 (cable wasn't allowing for update (would give error 4013) so had to change cable and it allowed for update). After changing 4 iphones 6 and hours with Apple Care customer service (no kidding more than 7-8 hours in total) and wasted time going to Apple store to change phones, with no solution & with recurrent problem on all the iphone 6 replacements. We just got his 4th replacement this morning and still didn't connect to home wifi. Actually, could not even see the available networks at home when setting it up as a new phone. After 1h40 with Senior advisor, said advisor told me to bring it in again (to get a 5th replacement). All software was the latest (11.4) had to restore & update via ITunes because the brand new replacement phone actually froze & could not connect to wifi to do the update.
After the update and restore finished, I set it up as a new phone, but it still it would not see any networks. Nada!!! So, I then decided to load onto the iphone the previous back-up we had on my computer through Itunes (NOT ICLOUD) to at least see if my husband could have a functioning phone until next replacement even if wifi would not work (replacement was scheduled for two days later & he needed some type of communication with the external world), since the cell was anyway useless and non-functioning.
After the phone finished the back-up, had to switch it off and on again. When prompted, I REFUSED TO GET INTO HIS ICLOUD (i.e. refused to put in the ICloud password on the iphone, I just hit cancel) and didn't give Apple ID password either (''cancelled'' these steps).
Then a miracle happened... I went to Settings & Wifi and surprise: all available networks were there!!! I connected to home wifi no problem whatsoever. I switched OFF ICloud back-up from my husband's Settings, and now wifi if full & strong.
I have an Iphone 6 Plus and never had any problems with my phone, only my husband had problems with his... then I realized that since I hate ICloud with a passion, I had never entered my password on the phone for ICloud and had the back-up switched off on my settings... so I may be onto something here??
Apple owes me BIG TIME if this trick will indeed work for others!!! (not just for all the hours wasted, frustrations, no solutions, missed gig on my hubby's side and big payments of excess GB consumption due to wifi suddenly switching off and going onto our providers' monthly allotted GB, but also for actually finding a solution to this problem which seems to be quite common!!)
Let me know if it works.
Cheers!!
