WIFI signal is weak, which part should I replace

My iPhone 6 wifi is very weak unless I'm RIGHT next to the router. I've tried all the software fixes, and determined it's hardware.

"None of those.

First you have to tell us if the wifi is 2.4G or 5G, they use different antennas."

"I have replaced the F Cable antenna and it does the job, Wifi is running at full strength.

You can buy from eBay for cheap just for $2-3 only. Does not have any quality issue.

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but is the phone still under warranty? I would try to get a new phone under warranty before replacing any parts with your own coin.

Basically if your wifi is greyed out then it's a problem with your wifi module on the board. If the signal is weak its either an antenna issue or a software issue....or a communication problem with your router.

I corrected this problem recently. The first repair shop replaced the customers damaged chassis with a used one. This is when the 2.4GHz signal evaporated just as described. After I got the device history, I replaced the chassis with a nice straight one and that corrected the 2.4GHz signal problem. If you're 5GHz signal is strong, it's not likely to be the F-cable. You can further narrow it down by testing GPS and BT which use the same antenna. If they both work well, it's probably a bent chassis.
