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.

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.
Me?? What I say is only from what I heard. Trust me. I’m looking for answers just as much as everyone else.
I agree. We’re all stumped by these issues and our only hope is being here,or waiting for something to come and fix this issue it’s b
It also addresses some Bluetooth issues and the charging issues many are having. I hope for those of you who have had these issues, this is going to help you all.

How do I know if it’s beta or not
HOLY crap my WiFi jumped on my phone, went from an avg 1 mbps to 32, I get
5gbps on cellular, I don’t live in the US so that’s why I have a 5gb
cellular speed. Dam...
Hmm. Thanks for that. I’ve checked “about” and usually if there is one, it’ll pop up. I’ll try iTunes af
If you see 12.0 you’re not on a beta. The new one is 12.0.1, also not a beta. I don’t know what version today’s beta is.
T mobile still Carrier settings still at 33.0. Hopefully a 12.0.x before too long with notes that they've fixed LTE issues.
If you’ve been reading our posts 12.0.1 came out today.
This update didn’t fix anything in regards to my Wi-Fi. It still is wanting to be on the 2.4 GHz network sitting right next to the router. Complete garbage from the max. Smh.
Yeah, didn’t seem to do the trick. Both my maxes are doing things exactly the same way. I even restarted the router and no difference. Kind of disappointed right now
Don’t see any difference after the update either.
