Iphone 6 weak wifi signal. Wi-Fi on iPhone and iPad - problems and solutions

Faced a problem? There are several simple reasons why Bluetooth, Wi-Fi does not work in iPhone 6. In the latest versions of iOS, the problem with the WiFi / Bluetooth module has already been resolved. Most often, the catch lies in a faulty WiFi module, but perhaps. you're in luck and a flashing or factory reset will help.

First feasible help

So, if Bluetooth is not working on iPhone, do the following:

to update the software, go to "Settings", then to "General", then - to "Software update". The system may prompt you to update to the latest version.
If WiFi does not work in your iPhone, try also completely resetting the settings: in "Settings" go to "General", select "Reset" and then - "Reset network settings". Don't worry, your data won't go anywhere. Then try to connect again.

If these steps did not help?

If, after the measures taken, your iPhone 6 still does not catch Wi-Fi, there is probably a problem with the hardware. In the latest iPhone models, the developers managed to avoid many troubles: placed in a single case with accompanying elements, the WiFi chip is distinguished by its "survivability" - it can withstand a slight ingress of moisture, falling of the device. But the chip, antenna or cable, signal amplifier can still fail:

Solving the above problems is a simple task for SMART-Service engineers, solved quickly and efficiently. In case of replacement of components, we use exclusively original brand components and guarantee that after manipulations by our specialists, the device will work like a Swiss watch.

With every new major update to iOS or even macOS, some users are experiencing quite serious problems. iOS 10 is no exception in this sense. Many users started to complain about the problem with the Wi-Fi network. There are several ways to solve the problem.

Reboot the router

Sounds simple enough, but sometimes the problem isn't mobile or iOS. First, you need to make sure that the router itself is working properly.

Hardware reboot of the iOS device

If rebooting the router did not help, the next logical solution would be to hard reboot the iPhone or iPad itself. To do this, you need to hold down the Power and Home buttons (or the volume button on the iPhone 7) for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Reconnecting to a Wi-Fi network

An unstable Wi-Fi connection does not always mean a hardware or software malfunction, sometimes it can just be a failure of a specific connection to a specific network. In order to fix it, go to the Wi-Fi settings and click on the "i" icon next to the desired Wi-Fi network, then select "Forget this network". Now try to reconnect to the network.

Reset network settings

In many cases, resetting network settings helps. Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. This procedure does not affect user data, but removes all network connections.

Wi-Fi Assistance

Wi-Fi Assist is an interesting and relatively new feature in iOS. It is not unique to iOS 10, but it does affect Wi-Fi performance. The meaning of the "Wi-Fi Assist" function is the ability to compare the bandwidth of the Internet connection over Wi-Fi and over a mobile network. In the event that the wireless network is not stable and fast enough, the mobile device is able to independently switch to using the mobile Internet - 3G or LTE. To disable the function, go to Settings -> Cellular.

Disable Location Services for Wi-Fi

Another feature that directly affects the Wi-Fi connection. To turn off location services for Wi-Fi networks, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services, use the slider to deactivate location services for Wi-Fi networks and restart your device.

Clean install of iOS 10

If none of the above helps, it's time to move on to more radical methods. To perform a so-called "clean" installation, you need to update iTunes for Mac or Windows to the latest version and download the iOS 10 IPSW firmware file for your device.

Now turn off Find My iPhone in Settings-> iCloud -> Find My iPhone. Connect your iOS device to your computer and select it in iTunes. Hold down the Alt key on Mac and Shift on Windows, select the "Restore" option and specify the path to the downloaded IPSW file.

Wait for the device to boot and restore your data from the backup.

Rollback on iOS 9

Even if installing iOS 10 from scratch didn't change anything, it might be worth rolling back to the previous version of the OS.

To get started, download the iOS 9 firmware IPSW file for your device. Then turn off Find My iPhone in Settings-> iCloud -> Find My iPhone.
Connect your iOS device to your computer and put it into DFU mode. In iTunes, hold down the Alt key on Mac and Shift on Windows, select the "Restore" option and specify the path to the downloaded IPSW file.

Do not disconnect the gadget from your computer until iTunes notifies you of success.

This problem is found on some iPhone models. However, it is noted that it is the owners of the iPhone 6 who most often complain that their device does not pick up Wi-Fi well.

Let's list the main symptoms of an iPhone with Wi-fi. Sound familiar?

The gadget only catches the network at a short distance;
iPhone does not catch the network (does not see it at all);
The Internet is constantly interrupted.

In this article, we will consider all possible ways to solve the problem at home, from the simplest to the more sophisticated and complex.

What to do if the iPhone does not catch the network well? The way to solve the problem is in the following video:

We solve the problem ourselves

Before "picking" the iPhone, for a start it is better to check for faults in the router itself. This is easy to do. Check how other devices work when connected to a Wi-Fi network. If your internet speed is stable and good, then the problem is not with your router, but with your iPhone.

What to do? What measures should be taken if the iPhone 6 or iPad does not catch Wi-Fi well and stubbornly refuses to see the network?

Draw your attention to! If the iPad cannot connect to the network or does not see it, the solutions to the problem are the same as with iOS smartphones.

Force restart your phone

It is better to start with the most likely method - restarting the phone. It instantly clears some minor iOS software bugs. To restart the iPhone 6/6 s plus, you need to hold down only two buttons: "Power" and "Home" (for iPhone 7 / 7s plus - the volume down button).

More complicated procedure for iPhone X (but similar to restarting the 8th iPhone). It is necessary to alternately press and immediately release the volume up / down buttons. Then, on the other hand, hold down and hold "Power" until the Apple logo appears.

Reconnection

Sometimes you just need to reconnect to the network. To do this, you need to forget the network in "Settings" - "Wi-Fi" and reconnect to it.

Don't forget to check if you wrote the security key correctly!

Reset network settings

Instructions on the procedure for resetting the settings: go to the menu "Settings" → "General" → "Reset" and press the button "Reset network settings".

Non-standard ways

You can try connecting to a faster DNS server. In the Wi-Fi settings, from the right edge of the screen, you need to click on the letter “i” and select the Google or OpenDNS server from the specified ones.

You can switch to another broadcasting channel. This helps in apartment buildings when many networks are connected to one channel. To do this, you really have to go to the router interface and change the channel yourself.

Installing a security key to your Wi-Fi network will also help. If the network is "not password protected", that is, it is open, unauthorized users, for example, neighbors, can connect to it, which threatens with connection problems and a decrease in the data transfer rate.

Firmware

Updating the iPhone firmware to the latest version is one of the options for solving the problem yourself.

What if the problem is with the router?

If, after checking the connection of other devices, it turns out that the router is to blame, the following options can help:

Reset the router settings using the "RESET" button. However, if you are unable to re-configure the device, it is best to consult the wizard.

Go to the router interface and change the region "Russia" to "America".

Sometimes changing WPA2 / WPA to WEP helps. Of course, this is an old and unreliable encryption method, but in some cases it helps to restore the connection to the Wi-Fi network.

When do you need specialist help?

Among the possible reasons that an iPhone of any model does not connect to the Wi-Fi network, the following can be named:

IPhon crashed, crashed, and water got into it before problems occurred.
Some Apple users of different models complain about the marriage of the new purchased phone. This, of course, rarely happens.
IPhone parts and modules can be easily damaged if the device is not carefully disassembled. This became especially noticeable after the release of the iPhone 5 / 5s plus models.

You can't cope here on your own. Better to take the phone to a service center for repair.

So, we talked about the simplest and most affordable ways that can solve the problem with connecting the iPhone 6 to the Wi-Fi network. If you notice an error, or know about other solutions, do not hesitate to write!

Wifi disappears on iPhone 6

If wifi disappears on the iPhone 6, then it is possible to use such a device, however, its functioning is considered defective and it can be risky, since the presence of some malfunctioning equipment already indicates certain defects that provoked them. To figure out professionally why it crashes, poorly wifi works on iPhone six, you do not know how to fix the problem, we suggest contacting highly qualified employees of our service center.

If wifi is constantly turned off spontaneously on IPhone 6, similar problems have appeared recently, then, presumably, they are provoked by a breakdown of the antenna. It makes no sense to repair the named part (it is too expensive, not long, difficult), therefore professionals advise changing it to the original analogue;
If the Wi-Fi is too slow, it happens because its module has already failed, otherwise it is partially damaged. It is also unprofitable to repair the specified component, it would be more correct to replace it;
On the contrary, the wi-fi disappeared after the impact, the fall of the device in question, then you will have to do preliminary computer diagnostics. When examining the gadget, it will become clear why your iPhone six is buggy.

Poorly catches wi-fi on an iPhone 6.

iPhone or iPad won't connect to Wi-Fi

This is the most common problem and there are several solutions. But first, it would be nice to decide - what is the reason for the connection problems? To do this, you can try to connect another phone (smartphone, tablet) to the router. If everything is connected successfully, then….

IPhone or iPad is to blame for the lack of connection

The first step is to follow a few simple steps:

The problem is in the router

Similar to the previous point, we do everything in order:

Resetting the router settings. Here you need to do everything carefully, because if you do not know how to reconfigure it again, it is better not to do this.

In the parameters, we change the region of use to the United States. Unfortunately, the location of this option is highly dependent on the router manufacturer. And it is not possible to show where it is located on any router.

Since we got so far, we try to change the encryption settings here from WPA2 / WPA to WEP. Even though it is an older encryption protocol (wikipedia), it did help some users (as reported on Apple tech support forums).

iPhone or iPad does not pick up the Wi-Fi network well

A weak signal on an iOS device is not a good life, most often this problem occurs due to:

Falls, moisture and other mechanical damage.
Poor quality repair. The fact is that the module itself, which is responsible for wireless connections, is quite easy to damage when disassembling the device (especially for the iPhone 4 and 4S models).
Manufacturing defects. Yes, any technology can be defective in production and Apple is no exception.

The user, with this problem, can take not so many manipulations, because it is impossible to increase the Wi-Fi signal strength on the iPhone or iPad (not by hardware or software), but it still makes sense to pay attention to something:

To begin with, we return to the points that are described above in the text in the previous subheading, all these tips are valid for this problem.
If the router has external antennas, check their condition - are they damaged, and are they simply not unscrewed?
If the device starts to catch Wi-Fi poorly after a firmware update, it is likely that a full reset from a backup will help.

In fairness, it should be noted that all the malfunctions described in the article are quite rare. In most cases, the wireless connection in Apple devices works correctly and flawlessly.

If you have tried all the methods described in the article, and the problem persists, then it makes sense to contact the service center. Fortunately, in most cases, the price tag for Wi-Fi repair services on iPhone and iPad is quite humane.
