Experiencing Wi-Fi disconnection on your iPhone? Learn the main causes and effective solutions to stay connected. Update software, reset network settings, and more!
The iPhone’s connection to the router can be interrupted for a number of reasons. We will talk about the most basic ones, as well as ways to eliminate them, in this article.
Wi-Fi disconnects due to large distance between iPhone and router.
It is possible that the router is not powerful enough and the user is simply too far away from it. The solution is very simple. You need to try to get closer to it. If the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, then there are no problems with the smartphone. What can be done?
- Or don’t go far from the router;
- Or buy a model that distributes Wi-Fi over long distances.
Wi-Fi Disconnects Due to iOS Beta Issues
If a user uses beta firmware on their iPhone, there is a chance of catching this nasty bug (and others, by the way). This is due to the fact that betas can have errors. For example, a couple of years ago, users complained en masse that Wi-Fi was cut off in power saving mode. This indicated a bug with the power saving system.
Network disconnection can also occur in normal mode. The problem is solved simply by switching to a stable version of iOS. Therefore, if your Wi-Fi is disconnected, do the following:
- Go to “Settings”;
- Next to “Basic”;
- Then “Software Update”;
- If you see “On” under “Beta Updates”, click on it;
- And switch to “Off” mode;
- Install the latest stable iOS.
If you have a stable iOS, but Wi-Fi still turns off, try doing a hard reset:
- Press the volume up key;
- Then press the volume down key;
- Press and hold the on/off button;
- Wait for the Apple icon to appear.
Wi-Fi Disconnects Due to Network Settings Failure on iPhone
It happens that a software error occurs in the software of the communication components. This can also be solved by resetting the settings. You can reset the network settings as follows:
- Go to “Settings”;
- Next to “Basic”;
- Scroll down the screen;
- Click on “Move or reset iPhone”;
- Next, click “Reset”;
- Now on “Reset network settings”.
Wi-Fi is disconnected due to system services failure
Sometimes the problem occurs due to a conflict in one of the system services. It can be painlessly disabled, it does not affect the functionality of the iPhone. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to “Settings”;
- Then in “Privacy and Security”;
- Then in “Location Services” and “System Services”;
- Turn off “Wireless & Data”.
Wi-Fi is disconnected due to mechanical failure
If all these methods do not help, then the possible cause is a mechanical failure of one of the iPhone components responsible for Wi-Fi. In this case, you will have to take the smartphone to a repair shop. In addition, the router may also break. It is unlikely that a person without the necessary knowledge will be able to fix it on their own, as in the case of the iPhone.
