Part 1. Why My iPhone Keeps Disconnecting From WiFi?

There are two main reasons why your iPhone keeps disconnecting from WiFi. The first one has to do with your WiFi router and its connection. If the router is malfunctioning or your house is experiencing a temporary power outage, your phone's WiFi connection will be disrupted.

Second, this unstable WiFi issue might be caused by some hardware or software glitches on your iPhone. Read on and try out the methods below to troubleshoot the "iPhone keeps disconnecting from WiFi" issue.

Part 2. How to Get Stable WiFi Connection on iPhone?

1. Restart the Router

In many cases, the connectivity issues are caused by a glitch in the router. So, the first thing that you can do when you experience difficulty in connecting iPhone to the wireless Internet is to restart the router. Switch it off, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.

2. Turn WiFi Off and On

In addition to the router, sometimes your iPhone will have a connectivity glitch. Therefore, disconnecting your phone from the WiFi and connecting it back will fix the problem. Go to Settings > WiFi to turn it off and on.

4. Turn Off Wi-Fi Assist on iPhone

Wi-Fi Assist on your iPhone is useful when you have a poor connection to the Internet. However, in some cases, it could cause a glitch and interfere with your WiFi connectivity. To turn it off, you need to go to Settings > Cellular > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist. If it is enabled, tap the switch to turn it off.

5. Enable Auto-Join Feature

A common reason why an iPhone is disconnecting from the wireless Internet is that the auto-join feature is not enabled.
