Ever since we switched internet service providers (from Verizon to Spectrum), I've been having some serious trouble connecting my iPhone to my PC wirelessly to access files.
I have a iPhone 13, as my PC is a iBUYPOWER BB921 that has the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home. My iPhone was recently updated to iOS 17.4, and I also frequently install Windows updates to keep my PC up to date. I also should mention my PC get internet via a TP-Link Archer T4U Plus Wi-Fi adapter.
So as I have stated, ever since we switched ISPs, I've been having some trouble connecting my iPhone wirelessly to my PC. I use the official Apple Files app to access my PC files from my iPhone wirelessly, but sometimes I get the error Content Unavailable: The folder contents could not be displayed because of an unknown error. To fix this error, I sometimes reboot my iPhone, reboot my PC, switch the Wi-Fi on my iPhone and/or PC off and back on, and I even unplugged my wireless adapter on my PC and then plug it back in. Sometimes that works, other times it doesn't.
As of this post, it has really become a problem for me, as I can barely get my iPhone to wirelessly connect to my PC. Additionally, I also can't connect wirelessly with other apps such as Simple Transfer, so the wireless problems aren't just with the Apple Files app, as I would get the error saying that my iPhone took too long to respond to my web browser.
Both my iPhone and PC can access the internet just fine, and I know they're both on the same Wi-Fi network, so I'm not sure what the issue is. One thing I haven't tried yet is unplugging the internet modem for 60 seconds which can work for other problems, but I'm not sure if it would work for this problem.
So what can I do to stop these constant wireless connection issues once and for all? Please give me some suggestions on what I can do.
