This same exact thing is happening with my I pad ! My phone is fine, but I pad. connection drops off at least 15/ day

I can connect my iPad all day (and have to!) but it won’t stay connected for long.

In contrast, my iPhone is connected to the same network and not only never drops the Wifi connection, but if I leave the house and return (which happens multiple times per day) it automatically reconnects and does not drop the connections.

Whenever they launch a new product they use these updates to destroy the functionality of older products so as to generate higher sales from replacements.

This is their business model.

Heck, why is it you all cant see this?

They should be investigated ASAP!!!

I know this since the exact same thing has happened at three different residences with different routers and internet providers.

It happens only on my iPad Mini, iPhone and Macbook are fine.

It started after the last IOS update in June.

Since my ipad is not on Apple care nothing much to say… They are quoting $399 for repair… A new ipad on Amazon was $239 that day 🙂 🙂 … Such is the poor service/quality of Apple…No wonder their market share is dropping by the day….

I was in the market for Mac book Pro,, but after this issue NO APPLE any more !!!!

Hi Shivakumar,

Try toggling it off in Settings rather than in Control Center.

Turning it off in Control Center is placing it in suspension rather than off. This may be the reason it comes back on.

Try toggling off in Settings and see if it remains off.

In settings, I discovered that my phone was connecting to wifi in my area and not my home router.

I tapped my “Home”, entered the password and the problem was solved.

First, this applies to older iOS so some things are not where or as they used to be.

Like, I cannot find ‘forget network’ on my current iOS which is 12.1.2.

Also, I had to realize that ‘reset network settings’ was a bit different from what I assumed.

Reset network (scroll down under general setting to ‘RESET’, then select ‘Reset Network Settings’ there.)

This requires a re-entering of your password when you go to select your home wifi network.

Take note, I also rebooted my current ATT router.

My home wifi has not dropped in several days now.

I am so happy.

Now I will see what happens when once again I have ‘location services’ (under privacy settings) turned ‘on’.

iPhone 6+

did it work for either 2.4 or 5 Ghz or did it only work if you turned off the 5Ghz?

Hi Angie,

Try resetting your router–usually by unplugging it, waiting for 1-2 minutes, and then plugging it back in.

Once done, on your iPhone go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and toggle off Wi-Fi Networking.

Then go to your WiFi network and tap the “i” button and toggle Auto-Join Off and On.

Finally, restart your iPhone 6 and see if the signal is more consistent.

I used to have good coverage all over my house now if I am not in the living room it keeps dropping connections.

I have only had this since I updated 11 and 12.

I have done some of the suggestions but sometimes not sure where things are on my phone or if the suggestion is for iPhone or iPad.

Any more help will be gratefully received.
