Basically I've got an iPhone 6, had to buy it after making a mess of my other. Only problem is the wifi will only connect if I'm the room with the router. I've done all the resetting the router and all that. Anyone got any other ideas? Maybe completely resetting my phone?

The first thing is to check if it's a router or phone issue. Do other devices have range issues with the router in question? And if you connect the phone to another router do you have the same problem with that one?

Also, what band are you connecting the phone to? The iPhone 6 will support 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz wifi, so if your router supports both bands (which is likely if it's relatively new) it will likely be connecting to the latter by default. It might be worth forcing the phone onto 2.4 ghz instead as it's sometimes less prone to drop outs over distance at the expense of a little speed.

Sorry, Just seen this Pagz. How do I force my phone onto the 2.4ghz? I've tried everything bar this you've suggested and nothing has fixed it yet. Randomly it will sometimes connect upstairs but it won't be long before it cuts out. At other places it sometimes won't even find the WIFI. It's alright but my phone is getting though some data. My just restart the whole phone as a new phone to see if that works!

Got a battery problem now aswell. Is all technology shit?
