Solution No.1: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Airplane mode

Some of the iOS 9.3.2 Wi-Fi issues are the slow connection or the connection that keeps dropping. Some users can’t connect to a Wi-Fi network at all. We are going to start with the simplest solution that often works. Turn the Wi-Fi off and back on. Repeat this for a couple of times.

Also, if the Bluetooth is enabled, navigate to Settings and turn it off because it may sometimes cause interference with Wi-Fi connections.

The Airplane mode can fix Wi-Fi connection problems. All you need to do is go to Settings, turn the Airplane mode on, wait for a couple of seconds and turn it back off. Try to connect to a Wi-Fi network again.
