iPhone 6 WiFi issues

Go to solution Solved by Zando_,

Then the wifi antenna could be dead. I'd look over at iFixit: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_6 and see how trick it is to replace the antenna. 

Go to settings, general, reset, reset all network settings, then reconnect to the network and see if it's fixed. If it isn't, I'd try restoring it to factory condition from iTunes, and see if that fixes it. Make sure and back up your phone first.
