WiFi issues on 26.1?

[danmart]

Since updating to iOS 26.1 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max I’ve had terrible WiFi connectivity. My phone keeps dropping to mobile / cellular connectivity even though my iPad is doing fine and will be showing typically max-strength WiFi signal.

Anyone else seeing this?

No issues here with 15 Pro Max and Linksys Velop AC-2200 mesh.

What WAP are you using? Any firmware updates available for it? Any VPN in use?

I had this on my iPhone 17 26.1, and at one point no data would pass at all while others devices on the network had no problems. I ended up forgetting the network and rejoining. This was on an Eero mesh where I don’t have anything configured specifically to reject authenticated clients. After rejoining it has been stable. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks both. I have a Deco mesh router. I don’t use a VPN but I do have iCloud Relay turned on.

It seems to have stabilised a bit more now, but suggestions welcome.
