Wifi not working with iOS 11.4

I upgraded to iOS 11.4 and since then wi-fi doesn't work.

It's on on the control centre and in the settings menu I see the name of the network next to "wi-fi" as if it was connected, but when I go into the wifi menu the switch is off and I cannot turn it on.

I tried everything, from resetting network settings, to turning off network assist and the Wi-fi networking on location services, and nothing worked.

Also tried to set up the phone as new and the problem was solved, but then when I restored the back up I got the same issue again. I'd really like to avoid having to set up the device as new, because I don't have enough space on the cloud for everything on my phone, so I'd lose content anyway and I don't want that.

Anyone else with the same issue?

Do you think the next patch will fix it?

When will there be a next patch?

iPhone 8, iOS 11.4

I also have Huawei modem/router which my ISP has lent. Your signal strength may go up and down. That should not be a problem. Signal quality is important. But if you have severe interference from your neighbors, then you should change channels in the Huawei router one by one and test which channel gives you best reception. Normally, routers do this automatically. But assuming the router could not find the best channel for your environment, you can do it manually.


Hope this helps.

Same thing here, no WiFi connectivity after "upgrading" to iOS 11.4 today.

Tried Resetting Network Settings, Switching off/on WiFi, close proximity to router, switch off Ask to Join Networks. Nothing of these work.


I am amazed that Apple does not have a patch more than a month after release of this iOS version, which nullifies the WiFi capabilities of iPhones. Is Apple going to pay for data usage through our providers?

Hi I have a similar problem. I’m running iOS 11.4.1. The WiFi button does not usually work. I have to reset my phone several times (say average of 6,) until it works. But if the phone goes into sleep mode the WiFi switches off and the button becomes stuck again. The phone is generally acting weird at times too by switching off, then on, at random and moving through Safari via screen buttons I have not pressed.

Driving me crazy at the moment. Ggrr
