All of a sudden My iphone stopped connecting to the Wi-Fi I regularly use but others were easily able to connect through their iphones. I had done the reset network setting and boom it worked. Thanks for this great video

How do you update software without connecting to wifi 😀

Soooo appreciate you both!! You explain so even us old people can understand!! Wish you did computers! Please keep up these videos! You are much appreciated! 🥰❤️👏🏼👏🏼

[@2johnnyo]

One major point to make here is also, "Do I really need to connect to a strange wifi hotspot that, 9 times out of 10, have lowest security level?". Plus a lot of times security is turned off completely. All cell carriers offer data plans, and unlimited is usually worth the extra 20 to 40 bucks a month. Again, a lot of people think that if there's wifi, they need to connect to it. This is completely wrong, especially if you have an unlimited data plan. When wifi is off your phone works as it should (hopefully), using your cell carriers data plan. This is usually better than connecting to strange WiFi networks that usually have very low security. I only turn on my wifi if I need to upload or download massive file(s), or I know I'm going to be streaming.

[@lillusem]

If nothing helps and you’re reading the comments for help, try turning off or deleting your VPN configuration ( or if you don’t have any download one to your phone). My problem was that one of the configuration kept turning on and off constantly and when I deleted it my wifi worked fine.

[@Krazytime13]

Thank you so so much. I literally tried everything besides this just now and it fixed it

[@jamila529]

Thank you! This worked for me

[@EllenMHelms]

Thank you so much!! This is exactly what was wrong with my phone! I had the VPN on my laptop but forgot it was on my phone, so I did just what you suggested, deleted it, and everything worked fine!!

[@hsulwindway3372]

Thank you. This works for me.

[@moniquewong671]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I literally tried everything too besides this. I almost cried! Thank you thank you! Apparently my adblock VPN is also blocking my wifi and cellular network too... LOL

[@claudiamiclaus2796]

Finally some people who know what they are talking about! Many thanks! Very helpful!

[@AnthonyCarrTV]

thanks guys - it was the "forget network" and re-connecting that worked for me. Weird, no problems until this afternoon.

@Payette Forward, Thnx for the vid. I have a problem. My iPhone connects to my wifi as does my computer, but non of my apps will open. I get a "Uploading" message on some of the apps, while others just keep buffering. Now my storage is nearly full to the max with, but I never had that problem before other than the occasional app shutting down. Can you tell me what I can do to get my apps to open? Thnx

[@Randy2009Andy]

You forgot to try turning your VPN off and try connecting. This worked for me above all your suggestions. Then I switched the VPN back on and all is well again😀.

[@riverlee941]

Apple‘s built-in VPN is affecting many of phones as soon as I went onto my Nord VPN my Wi-Fi came back right away

[@ShizukaOG]

@@riverlee941 *How come?*

[@riverlee941]

@@ShizukaOG I’m really not sure but so many people have been affected by the built-in VPN it turns on and off by itself so then you can’t use your Internet when it’s turning on and off obviously so it’s best to get your own personal VPN and use that and you won’t have any issues. Well I fixed mine that way.

But how will I download an update if it only allows you to do it via Wifi?

[@Powerstroke98]

I've been having to do the first option...turning wifi off/ then on, and it fixes the problem until the next time I don't use my iPhone for a while, it then reappears again. I did just reset my network settings 5 minutes ago, so it will take some time to see if that has done it, 'but' my iMac has been having a similar issue. Having had this problem off and on for some time, I took my router-modem in, and was given a new one...and I'm still having the issue, so it's doubtful it's the router-modem I believe. Unsure how to reset my network settings on my iMac, but I'll certainly give that a try! I did just do an IOS update this morning...so that shouldn't be it, plus my wife's iPhone is having the same issue, and can be very frustrating.

Im my house my Verizon wireless only gets 1 o 2 bars and always drops calls, doesn’t receive incoming calls, and out of the blue I will get a voicemail but my phone never rang. I asked my neighbors, and they have the same poor cellular connection regardless of the carrier. My question: I turned on WiFi calling and my phone shows VZW WI-FI, but I still drop calls and do not get calls with them going directly to voicemail. Any help or ideas? I have xFinity hi speed internet (we pay extra for the boost or enhanced speed) and have no issues ever with the connection when using our computers, iPads, etc. Ps. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max. Any help would be much appreciated. 🙏🏼
