iPhone weak Wi-Fi signal: causes and fixes

If your iPhone has weak Wi-Fi, first compare with another device in the same place; if that is weak too, the router or distance is the cause. If only the iPhone is weak, forget the network and reconnect, try Private Wi-Fi Address and reset network settings. After a drop, the Wi-Fi antenna should be checked.

Key points
  • Compare with another device in the same place first.
  • Try the router’s 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands separately.
  • Forget the network and reconnect.
  • Resetting network settings removes saved Wi-Fi passwords.
  • If the Wi-Fi switch is grey, the IC or connection is checked.

01The iPhone or the router?

TryResultMeaning

On another Wi-Fi networkiPhone still weakThe iPhone is the cause

02What you can try on the iPhone

  1. Forget the network. Under Settings › Wi-Fi, tap the info icon next to the network, choose “Forget This Network”, then reconnect.
  2. Private Wi-Fi Address. Turn this option off and on again on the same screen.
  3. Band. If the router broadcasts 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks separately, connect to the other one; 2.4 GHz reaches further.
  4. Case. Remove a case with metal parts and try again.
  5. Reset network settings. Settings › General › Transfer or Reset › Reset › Reset Network Settings; saved Wi-Fi passwords are removed.

Menu names can differ slightly by iOS version.

03Hardware signs

  • The Wi-Fi switch is grey and will not turn on.
  • Reception got clearly weaker after a drop or liquid contact.
  • Bluetooth has problems at the same time.

In this case the Wi-Fi antenna, its connection or the Wi-Fi IC is checked. Not connecting at all is covered in iPhone not connecting to the internet, and Wi-Fi faults on the board on our IC chip repair page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

My iPhone gets weaker Wi-Fi than other phones. Why?

Network settings, the case or the antenna can cause it. Forget the network and reconnect; if it continues, the antenna should be checked.

02

What does resetting network settings remove?

Saved Wi-Fi networks, their passwords and VPN settings; it does not touch photos or apps.

03

The Wi-Fi switch is grey. What does that mean?

The Wi-Fi IC or its connection may be faulty; it is checked at the free diagnosis.

04

Will the repair delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
