Still experiencing frequent Wi-Fi drops on iPhone 17 Pro Max after updating to iOS 26.0.1

I hope you’re correct but to receive three phones all with the same issue is a remarkable coincidence. I’ve tried all the fixes including trying different networks to no avail. I suspect we will start to hear more about this issue as people realize there is no software fix after months of waiting.

<sigh> There are multiple threads on this site and many more on pretty much any other contextual forum/group you care to look at. So clearly, there are a set of edge (but common) cases which cause the N1 chip to fail to do its job, in circumstances where everything else on the market (including Apple's own products) have no problem. I'd call that QED.

Um......What the millions upon millions of people roaming the planet who aren't camped on any forum complaining about Wifi issues, because they likely aren't having Wifi issues. People generally only visit a forum to complain. And people generally don't visit a forum to say, "hey, everything's great with my Wifi."

Don't skew this in a direction which makes it seem the issue is universal or major. It was said above that if this with a huge issue, you'd see the tech-press reporting on it and this forum would be flooded with people complaining. The tech-press isn't reporting this, nor is this forum flooded with people complaining.

How many networks have you tested the phones on?

My second 17 pro arrives tomorrow, so I'll try setup as a new phone and let you know. This is already disappointing :(

What happened to the first?

I have exact same problem. It is getting worse after updating to iOS 26.0.1. Can not do anything except using data. No any signal day it runs smooth. Very bad experience and disappointed!!!

Thank for the reply bud, I will do that next. Maybe it will all work out! 😁👍

This seems to have solved my issues thank you so much!!

Ipados26.1 system has a problem and can't run normally.

It is - perhaps you are looking on the wrong fora.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try. I have tried a couple of other networks so maybe it is an app that’s causing issues.

I’ve spent HOURS talking to Apple Support and nothing worked. 5 seconds on Reddit and problem solved. Thank you for the VPN info

Which is fine if you don't need a VPN. Otherwise it's a huge issue. And it's still an issue for me, even after I deleted my VPNs. And that's on my second iPhone 17 Pro Max
