I used to have full bars at my bed with iPhone X, now the Max only has 2. And it has trouble reconnect to the WIFI after airplane mode is turned on with WIFI turned on.
iPhone Xs Max, iOS 12, 64GB
For more empirical Wifi Data you can download the Airport Utility app (no need to actually have an Apple Airport), and follow the following instructions from https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203068 to run the scanner utility from your XS and other iOS devices at the same location to get comparative data.
The Wi-Fi scanner in AirPort Utility
Apple’s AirPort Utility includes a Wi-Fi scanner that logs the client’s view of the network. Administrators can use it to validate the client’s view of the network at a specific location.
For accurate results, use the Wi-Fi scanner on a dedicated device that’s the same model as the iOS client.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > AirPort Utility to turn on the Wi-Fi scanner.
Next, open Airport Utility and tap Wi-Fi Scan.
By default, Wi-Fi Scanner runs continuously. Use the slider to set a scan duration of up to 60 seconds.
To start the scan, tap Scan. AirPort Utility lists all the SSIDs that it finds. This includes hidden networks, which appear as "Network name unavailable."
The AirPort Utility scans all available bands at four-second intervals. Enterprise networks that have multiple access points are grouped by BSSID. The scanner shows information about:
To view a trace log of the scan results for an SSID and BSSID, tap the SSID:
The trace log shows the date and time of the scan, along with the channel and RSSI.
After the scan completes, you can share the results. Just tap the share icon (
), then choose one of these options:
AirPort Utility sends the results as a comma-separated list:
SSID, BSS, RSSI, Channel, time
"ACES", "18:64:72
3:E9:40", "-57", "11", "12:02:03 PM"
"Cuba", "F8:1EF:F9:56:BC", "-53", "149", "12:02:03 PM"
"ACES", "18:64:723:E9:50", "-63", "149", "12:02:03 PM"
"Cuba", "F8:1EF:F9:56:BB", "-69", "11", "12:02:03 PM"
"ACES", "18:64:723:E9:40", "-67", "11", "12:02:07 PM"
The first line is a column header that shows the SSID, BSS, RSSI, Channel, and date fields. To analyze or chart the results, import the list into a spreadsheet or other tool.
Yes. It takes ages to download an app. I Just have to sit and wait a few minutes. Do I need to contact apple. Is it a software update or an actual hardware issue?
So, you’re saying you got another XS from the same location? A few days apart?...... good. Great to hear. I’m on my 3rd from all different warehouses and zero succ
It’s not guessing. I’m just gathering info from tons of forums and came up with that. You personally sound like a keyboard warrior. I accept your challenge. See you in the jungle one day!!
Host, you should not edit comments at all. I can't believe you let some nonsense stuff fly by and edit the rest, rather just delete my last post then
That’s great!!! I’ve done the same. 3 replacements and no luck. All from different locations across the states. And a week apart. WiFi is half of ev
Sorry for that. Maybe try the first store you went to? New batch?
How did you update to iOS 12.1? It is not out yet.
That’s awesome news. From what I’ve heard, 12.1 didn’t improve the connections according to Aaron from zollotech
None of us honestly know what the deal is. Time is wasting and we’re only hearing from others it’s software or hardware or both. I know replacing it won’t help because I’m on my 3rd XS and no lu
