Dear ifixit community, I am having issues with my iPhone 6 wherein it is unable to find my wifi network and connect to it. I have tried: DFU modeupdating to latest iOSresetting network settings (which did work one time but a day of use)following both these guides (iPhone 6 Wi-Fi Antenna Replacement and iPhone 6 Antenna Flex Cable Replacement ) to replace both the wifi antenna and cable. Upon restarting the phone, it is sometimes capable of finding the wifi networks but when I enter the password, it states “unable to connect to xyz”, and then I am unable to see those networks anymore. Has anyone encountered this before and have any advice for me? Because of this I have had to upgrade my data plan significantly due to a lack of wifi; perhaps this is a sign I should purchase a new phone? Help much appreciated, thank you.
you did a fair amount of trouble shooting. The antennas in iphones brake all the time. If factory resetting it and installing the new os did not work it is most likely a hardware issue. I would just upgrade to a new phone if you dont feel comfortable fixing it. Apple will only replace the phone if it is a defective antenna. Same goes with any apple authorized repair shops. Not really a costly repair unless you do it yourself. Getting a new phone is not a bad idea.
