Connection keeps dropping on iPhone

Hi all.


I am on Fibre65 and have had no issues previously until about a few months ago.

 

If I don’t use my iPhone for a few minutes it will stop connecting to my wifi, even though the symbol clearly shows it is connected at the top of my phone’s screen. In order to fix this I have to turn wifi off on my phone and on again. Then it connects immediately. This happens frequently. 

I have turned the router off and on again, and actually found that I had a new unused Sagecom router in my house that I am now using. I thought changing the router would fix this issue but it hasn’t. 

I don’t have this issue with my iPhone on any other WiFi connection, just my home TalkTalk one.

 

Hoping people can help

Hi @Deanosafc24 

 

Please can you complete the below test again now?

 

Can you powercycle the iPhone once.

When the connection fails, can you try accessing a website via IP address for example 142.251.36.46   (google.com)

This will bypass DNS.

Our Devices Team have asked if you can run a quick test whilst they are monitoring. Just waiting for them to let me know what time if you are free to run the test then.

Hi @LewisJFC 

 

I will ask our Devices Team to check your connection logs. The issue is still being investigated.

 

Is the number in your Community Profile the correct number for your line?

No automatic compensation for this sort of thing, @Deanosafc24.

Anymore updates? Cos the bug is still alive and well even when you use 142.251.36.46

Hi, just tried it when the issue occurred again (it’s literally every time I leave my phone idle for more than a few minutes at this point) and it just hangs like it does as if you’d typed the address in normally.

Hi @LewisJFC 

 

Did you see my colleague Karl's update on 22/08

 

Our devices Team - after speaking with sagemcom have asked if you can test the following.

 

When the connection fails, can you try accessing a website via IP address for example 142.251.36.46   (google.com)

 

This will bypass DNS.

My phone was okay for a few days but for the last two days the connection drops have been constant.
