How to fix wifi issues in ios 17?
· Disable and enable Wi-Fi
Toggling Wi-Fi off and back on again can often kickstart the connection. Open Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi. Wait a few seconds, then turn Wi-Fi back on. This disables the connection and forces your iPhone to re-establish it. The quick reset may resolve any software glitches that are preventing Wi-Fi from working properly.
· Reboot Your iDevice
If Wi-Fi is still not working, do a full reboot of your iOS device. Press and hold the Power button until “Slide to power off” appears. Slide to turn it off completely. Wait 30 seconds, then press the Power button again to restart your iPhone or iPad. Rebooting clears out any memory issues and resets all connections.
· Change Google DNS to Set Custom
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the “i” on your connected Wi-Fi > Configure DNS. Change to Google public DNS servers by entering:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
Using Google DNS servers can circumvent any DNS issues from your internet provider that may be blocking websites or causing slow internet.
· Forget Wi-Fi Network
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the “i” next to the problem Wi-Fi network. Select “Forget this Network” to erase it from your saved networks. Then reconnect to the Wi-Fi by entering the password again. This clears any corrupt network settings that may be preventing connection.
· Delete VPN App
Some VPN apps can cause conflicts with Wi-Fi connectivity. Try deleting any VPN apps you have installed on your iPhone or iPad. Reconnect to Wi-Fi and test if the connectivity and speed improves without the VPN app.
· Connect to another Wi-Fi
Test your iPhone or iPad on another Wi-Fi network like at work, home, or a friend’s house. If it is able to connect and work properly on other networks, then there’s likely an issue with your regular Wi-Fi router rather than your device. But if the Wi-Fi problems persist on other networks, your iPhone may need servicing.
· Reset Network Settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and choose Reset Network Settings. This will erase all saved Wi-Fi networks and other network settings without losing any other data or content. Resetting networks often resolves persistent Wi-Fi problems.
· Factory reset
As a last resort, back up your iPhone to iCloud or iTunes and perform a factory reset by choosing “Erase All Content and Settings”. Set up the device again as new and test Wi-Fi after restoring. This eliminates any software bugs that may be interfering with connectivity.
· Reset All Settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and choose Reset All Settings. This will reset the device and network settings without erasing your data and content. Resetting all settings often resolves software and network issues without deleting your information.
