WIFI Connection Problem

Since the iOS update 16.1 my WIFI connection keeps switching on and off by itself. I tried the soft reset and Reset Network Settings the problem still persists.

Any ideas?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Mine is still doing this even after update to 16.1.1 last night. Never had an issue on IOS 15 ever

What troubleshooting have you done from this list (in this order)?

  • Restart your phone→Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
  • Restart your router by removing all power from it for a few seconds
  • Reset Network Settings: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings

All iPhones disconnect from Wi-Fi 30 seconds after the screen locks; this is nothing new. If it happens when you are using the phone, then the next thing to check is Settings/Cellular/Wi-Fi Assist. If it is turned on the phone will switch to cellular data if the Wi-Fi performance is lower than you would get with cellular. On my phone, for example, my 5G data is 500 mbps, my Wi-Fi is only 100 mbps at home, and much lower when out and about.



If neither of the above address your issue, you Reset Network Settings and it happens with multiple networks your phone has a hardware problem; use the Get Support link at the top of this page to discuss repair options.
