One user claimed that setting the Wi-Fi channel range to 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz would solve this issue.

Another user suggest that turning on the Flight mode and then turning it off would solve it.

The iOS 17.0.3 is reportedly fixing the heating issue of iPhone 15 Pro models.

After the iPhone 15 Pro’s heating issue, users are now facing another issue, which has occurred not only in iPhone 15 models but also in other iPhones that are running on iOS 17. In reports, they claim their internet gets slow, apps take time to load the content, and much more. They have also faced technical issues like their iPhone automatically disconnecting the Wi-Fi periodically. 

Many users are facing the Wi-Fi issue as 9to5Mac spotted some users taking this issue on Reddit. One user claimed that setting the Wi-Fi channel range to 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz would solve this issue. Another user mentioned the OG way to get your internet started again, turn on the Flight mode and then turn it off. However, for me, it’s unacceptable to use the internet this way in a smartphone worth over ₹70,000.
