17 Pro Max WiFi issues - Ubiquiti?

[macman4789]

Hi,

I wondered if anyone has had similar issues. Since having my 17 Pro Max, I’ve noticed that WiFi performance is significantly lower than previous devices. I waited until iOS 26.1 released thinking that might solve any issues with the N1 chip’s compatibility but nothing seems to have changed.

My WiFi setup is exactly the same, with 3 Ubiquiti AP’s across the house. I can be sat in a usual position, approximately 4-5 metres away and only have 2 out of the 3 WiFi bars on. Looking more carefully, it seems this is because the phone is ‘sticking’ to a previous AP so maybe not roaming as well as previous devices.

I wondered if anyone else had this issue with their phone with the new N1 chip’s compatibility and possibly Ubiquiti gear? Interestingly, the issue seems to be specifically to the iPhone as my iPad which has the same N1 chip in it doesn’t seem to have this.

Thanks for any help.

I have not had any issues with my 17 PM and any WiFi I use it on, in fact I have found it to get strong signal in places where my previous iPhones would lose connection.
I use a Zyxel WiFi 6 router, at work I am not quite sure what routers are used but I don’t have issues there either.

Are you able to swap between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz to see if one of them is the issue,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of great feedback on the signal strength. I can literally be under my access point and it still have 2 out of 3 WiFi bars.

Yeah, seems to be able to move from different bands.

Have you tried to "Reset Network Settings" also disable MLO on the Unifi.
