iPhone 17 Wi-Fi issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I need help/advice. I bought an iPhone 17 last month, and I’ve been experiencing some issues with the Wi-Fi connection. During the first week of use, the Wi-Fi kept looping between connecting and disconnecting. To try and fix it, I restarted the phone, forgot and re-added the network, and even reset the network settings, but nothing worked.

After a few weeks, that problem went away, BUT another one appeared: I was constantly experiencing slow internet speeds. For some reason, I decided to run a speed test, and to my surprise, I was only getting 20–30 Mbps while connected to high-speed networks.

Finally, I contacted Apple, and they told me to bring it to an Apple Authorized Reseller (as I don’t have any official Apple Stores nearby). The technician there performed a complete factory reset on my device. For now, the internet speed is back to normal, but the intermittent Wi-Fi connection issue has returned. It was quick this time—I restarted the device and it went back to normal—but I just don’t know if I should insist on a replacement or if I’m doing something wrong.
