If you are already running the iOS 11 beta, you may also have encountered a few connection problems with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. In this article we present you possible solutions.
iOS 11 beta connection issues
The iOS 11 public beta is available and you may already have it installed on your iPhone. Before you started installing the iOS 11 beta, you must have read that these versions sometimes fail. If all goes well, these will be resolved before the official release in the fall.
While iOS 11 is considered stable enough to make it publicly available, bugs can occur. The device may fail, malfunction or not quite do what you want. In this article, we will discuss the connection problems that occur here and there. If you suffer from a loss of WiFi or Bluetooth connection, first switch off your iPhone or iPad and switch it on again. Still bothered? Then try the following steps.
Fix iOS 11 beta wifi issues
IOS 11 users sometimes face Wi-Fi issues. For example, the connection can suddenly be very slow or even drop out. While Apple is working on an improvement, you can at least try this one.
To be sure, first check whether there is no interference in the area. Also try to turn off the router and turn it back on after a minute. That sometimes helps. If it is not there, try the following:
- Go to Settings’;
- Choose ‘Wifi’;
- Select your connection;
- Choose ‘Forget this network’;
- Now try to restart the connection.
Restore network settings
If you are still experiencing problems, you can try resetting the connected network on iOS. For that you need the password to reconnect, because after the reset, all saved passwords are forgotten. You can also try this option if your mobile connection or bluetooth is lost. It works like this:
- Go to the Settings app;
- Tap on ‘General’;
- Choose ‘Reset’;
- Tap on ‘Reset Network Settings’.
The problems should be resolved. Still bothered? Then consult this one networking tips from Apple.
Problems with bluetooth in iOS 11 beta
It also sometimes happens that bluetooth is lost. If the connection is worse than for iOS 11 beta, try resetting the device first. To do this, go to ‘Settings> Bluetooth’ and tap the blue ‘i’ behind the device you want to pair again. Choose ‘Forget This Device’ and then set it up again.
Another option is to reset the network settings. This works the same as with WiFi, so read the piece of text above under the heading ‘Restore network settings’.
If it all doesn’t help, you can still try to reset all settings of your iPhone or iPad. This will erase all settings and passwords, but not the contents of the device. So make sure you remember the passwords and have them at hand. To take this action, do the following:
- Go to Settings’;
- Choose ‘General’;
- Tap on ‘Reset’;
- Choose ‘Reset all settings’.
