Original Title: WiFi speed drops on iPhone 17 pro max
iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
“After soft resets network resets deleting vpn app, factory reset and then contacting apple chat support who got me to do a rest all settings 40 hrs later and my WiFi download speed has dropped again back to 25 mb from 150mb , just have to hope 26.1 iOS has a resolution if not a trip to the Genius Bar !!!! Very frustrating”

Troubleshooting Slow iPhone WiFi:
Five Thoughts:
A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
If Safari is slow, try clearing out your Temporary Internet Files: History, Cache, and Cookies
Go Here: Clear your Safari browser history and set up content blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
B. Try manually restarting your iPhone:
C. Is Cellular Data ALWAYS Enabled?:
Cellular Data always overrules Wi-Fi. So, if applicable, disable Cellular Data, if enabled and see if you get Wi-Fi to work as intended.
D. Troubleshooting Connectivity:
Wi-Fi: If your iPhone won’t Connect to a Wi-Fi Network - Apple Support
if nothing above works...
E. Reset All Network Settings to Default:
Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc)
First and foremost are you running a VPN, ad blocker or security app?
second, is that the only device in the location that shows slow speed?

Hi, I have removed my vpn and all my other apple devices keep the 150mb download speed, if I do a soft reset the problems goes away and back to 150mb speed on iPhone but this then drops again over night. Zstrugfling to understand why
”Thanks for the response I’ve done a network reset and seems to be working ok, was around the 12 hour mark when speed dropped so will see how the reset goes fingers crossed”
