10 ways to fix an iPhone that keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi

When you try to watch a video on your phone, it keeps freezing because your phone doesn't have a stable connection, it's the most annoying thing.

No matter what phone or setup you have, you're likely to have a wi-fi issue. There are a number of ways to fix a signal that isn't going away.

Why your iPhone keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi

There are many reasons why your phone won't connect to the internet, but most of the time it's related to the phone or the computer.

If you connect a laptop, game console, or other device to the router, you can figure out which one is connected to the internet. You can focus on the problem if they keep disconnected. If they stay connected, the problem is most likely the Apple device.

It is possible to connect the phone to a different network if it is the phone. You could use this at home or school. It's the phone if it doesn't work there. If it stays connected, it's the routers.

What to do if your Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting on your iPhone

Don't rule out the easiest fixes.

• Make sure you haven't accidentally put your iPhone into Airplane Mode.
• Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on.
• Make sure you're not out of the router's network range – try moving closer to it just in case.
• Check that you're connecting to the right Wi-Fi network, and have the right password.
• If there's an update available for iOS, install it.

If any of the above solutions don't work, it's time to investigate. If you focus on where the problem is coming from, you don't have to try them all.

1. Make sure your router is working properly

If the lights on the device aren't normal, open the manual or the app. If it isn't in the manual or app, contact the manufacturer for help.

2. Power cycle the router

You don't need to be intimidated by the name, power cycling your routers is very easy and can resolve the problem you're experiencing. Plug the modem into the power outlet and wait at least 15 seconds to power it down, then switch it on again.

3. Update the router's firmware

You don't need to do anything if you're sure that your routers updates itself. If it hasn't been updated in a while, you should update it by going to the control panel on a browser or using the mobile app.

If you can't see any available updates, it could be that your routers is too old. You won't be able to say that the issue is an outdated one. Should you buy a new one?

4. Turn off devices that cause signal interference

If the devices and appliances in your home use the same 2.4 GHz frequencies, they can cause interference with your internet connection. There's no room for your phone in these devices because they can over-crowd the band.

If you're able, turn them off. The 5 GHz frequency is less crowded and can potentially give you a boost in internet speed.
