A number of early adopters of Apple's most recent iPhones, which hit the market last Friday—namely the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air—have been reporting intermittent Wi-Fi disconnection issues with their new devices.
These users have taken to platforms like the MacRumors forums, Reddit, and the Apple Support Community to voice their concerns. They've noted that their phone's Wi-Fi connection cuts out periodically.
To tackle this problem, here are some steps you can try:
- First off, delve into the Wi-Fi settings. Make sure the Wi-Fi feature is activated and that you've entered the correct password.
- Secondly, give both your device and router a fresh start. Unplug the router's power supply, wait a short while, and then plug it back in.
- Next up, ensure your iOS system and router firmware are up-to-date. You can check for iOS updates in the General settings and log into your router's management interface to update the firmware.
- You might also want to reset the network settings. You can do this by selecting "Reset Network Settings" in the General settings.
- At the same time, take a look at your router settings. Make sure there are no limits on the number of devices that can connect or any special restrictions in place. Also, consider moving your router to a new location to minimize signal interference.
If the problem still lingers after trying all these steps, it's advisable to reach out to Apple's official customer service or head to an authorized repair center for further assistance.
