ive noticed that on my XS Max, the WiFi is absolutely terrible! It connects ok, shows full signal but it only works for so long then just hangs and I have to turn it off and use 4G for a while. It’s terribly slow and these hanging episodes get ridiculous. I have tried with several routers and even different houses and business connections and they all act the same. Could a restore help this? I would take it into an Apple Store but I just know they’ll blame the crack I have in the corner and I do not fancy the £300 odd they want to charge to replace it.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone XS Max Terrible Wi-Fi

My Xʀ had the same issue. I’ve just swapped it and now testing the new one to see if it’s any better...
This is using 5Ghz with bluetooth turned on. I have just tried a network reset to see if that improves anything so fingers crossed.
I've streamed (Netflix, Amazon, etc) multiple times over an hour using B/T headphones both on the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands. If there was this issue arising from my Max I would have seen it. Maybe a specific set of condition for this problem or something in routers not compatible.
Are you using anything like AdGuard? I had a problem with wifi dying and switching rapidly back and forth between LTE and WiFi, stuff not loading, sitting forever... I had used AdGuard for awhile (year+) before my Xs MAX but for whatever reason, iOS 12 and AdGuard do not like each other. I had same results on my 8+ - wifi wouldn't work, just sat forever, sometimes rapidly flashing LTE and WiFi over and over.
Uninstalled that and bam, wifi worked perfectly and instantly.
I have this same issue! T-Mobile iPhone XS Max 256 GB. WiFi will just hang after 5-30 minutes of usage. I have to toggle it on/off to get it to work.
Not sure what to do. It happens on my WiFi(ASUS AX11000) and my parents WiFi (latest Airport AC).

Yup. I saw this, too. Sent the damn thing back. I will not spend $1350 to beta test Apple products.

My obj ever is clearly BOT having any WiFi or lte connectivity issues. Maybe the intel modem isn’t as “fast” as Qualcomm but it speed tested in excess of what I would ever need realistically.
This isn’t a speed issue. The WiFi completely stops working for those of us with this problem.
