WiFi issues in iOS and solution

This is one of the most common problems in the history of the Internet, and it doesn’t really matter WHAT version or type of operating system you’re using – WiFi is slow, WiFi keeps dropping a connection, or worse yet, WiFi won’t connect at all.

1. Perform a Reset

Press and hold both the Home button and the Wake/Sleep button on your iDevice until you see the Apple logo appear on your screen and then let go of both. This simple reset won’t erase any data on your device and gets any crusty or corrupt settings out of the way. This usually takes about (literally) fifteen to thirty seconds to complete, depending on your iDevice type and model, and will usually get you back up and surfing in record time. This should be your go-to solution for most iOS problems, as its likely the first one that Apple Support will tell you to do if you ever call or contact them for help 2. Turn Wi-Fi On and Off

You can do this either on the WiFi Settings page by tapping the Toggle switch, or by swiping up from the bottom of your screen and tapping the WiFi icon in Control Center.

3. Forget and Rejoin the Network

Open Settings on your iDevice and choose WiFi. Locate the offending network and tap the circled blue “i.” On the details screen for that network, tap the option “Forget This Network.” You’ll see a warning dialog indicating that your iDevice and any other device using iCloud Keychain to connect to that Wi-Fi network will no longer be able to join it. Tap “Forget.” You’ll be taken back to the WiFi settings page where you’ll see the network in the “Choose a Network…” section. Tap it and rejoin the network by typing in its password. This will also re-establish the wireless network on all iCloud Keychain connected iDevices.
