Wi-Fi speed too low on iPhone – How to fix

Does the videos on YouTube buffering continuously while you are on Wi-Fi? The reason why the websites taking time too much time to load is the poor Wi-Fi speed on your iPhone. The reason why the Wi-Fi speed feels so much slower can be many things. We have gone through all the possible scenarios and got these solutions for you.

Step 1 – Open up the Settings window.

Step 2 – When you reach the Home settings page, open the “Wi-Fi” panel.

Once you have revoked the restriction off the Wi-Fi, there won’t be any speed limiter placed on the Wi-Fi.

Check the network speed once more.

 

Fix 2 – Configure the DNS manually

When the iPhone’s DNS settings are not set correctly, you can face issues with the network speed.

Step 1 – Simply scroll down once to access the Control Center.

Step 2 – Hold down “Wi-Fi” symbol there.
