New iPhone 15 pro WiFi issues

Hi just set up my long awaited iPhone 15 Pro… disappointed with performance.

Anyone else experiencing long downloading time, slow or no streaming and spotty connectivity even on my home WiFi. HELP!

This is sad for the price we pay for Apple products.

Some of the suggestions here for Wi-Fi connectivity problems on the iPhone 15 deal with being able to connect to a Wi-Fi network. That’s not really the problem. At least not for me. It is the ability to download information from the Internet. My iPhone 12 was blazing fast. my new iPhone 15 takes so long that I just give up and turn it off. Is it a hardware problem with the phone? Or software? If it’s software, Apple is certainly taking its time trying to rectify it it would seem that many of us are having the same issue , what a disappointment.

Start here, check the following Apple articles:

Connect to Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Connect to Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

 

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network

If your iPhone or iPad won't connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support


Check the route settings -> Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support

 

If you need help with your Wi‑Fi password

If you need help with your Wi‑Fi password – Apple Support (UK)

  •  You need to sign in to your router.
  • The Wi-Fi network name, or SSID (service set identifier), is the name your network that has a password.

 

or If you have iOS 16 / iPadOS 16 (or higher):

Go to -> Settings -> tap Wi-Fi -> tap on the hidden Password -> enter Passcode -> you will then see the Wi-Fi Password.


If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Just another reference: iPhone 15 Pro, 512 MB memory, running IOS 17.2.1, running a four APs meshed ( Arknis 810 ) in my home, connected to a Fidium 1 Gb Fiber ISP, using an Edge/ UI router.


For throughput testing used both olkla (Speedtest) and fast.com.


Speedtest - 590 D and 588 U

fast.com - 798 D and 799 U


its always good to check which radio you are using WiFi or Cellular - with the fast cellular speeds - it might be that your not really connected on WiFi. My AT&T bandwidth is amazingly good with 5G - I’m grandfather to a no throttling plan which helps.

I recently upgraded to the new Arknis AP from the 500 model, which made a huge difference in performance. It was like my new iPhone resource depleted the APs hence giving me poor throughput. I understand the protocol over WiFi and it’s possible to overwhelm the older APs…


in my limited testing, with multiple WiFi environments, the iPhone 15 performance is amazingly fast with a modern WiFi APs


i hope you find the root cause of your performance issue.
