- Update to the latest iOS.
- Test with Wi-Fi off and on another network (reports link it to Wi-Fi 6E / MLO / WPA3 networks).
- DFU restore only if it continues on the latest iOS. Do not replace hardware on this panic alone.

Wireless driver crash - AppleCentauri (iPhone 17 series)
Wi-Fi driver (AppleCentauriAlpha) baar-baar crash hua. iOS 26.0 par kai iPhone 17 / 17 Pro Max users ne report kiya; Wi-Fi off karne par reboot band ho jaata hai. Ye software fault hai, board fault nahi.
Latest iOS par update karo.
Wi-Fi off karke aur doosre network par test karo (reports ke hisaab se Wi-Fi 6E / MLO / WPA3 networks par aata hai).
Latest iOS par bhi aaye tabhi DFU restore karo. Sirf is panic ke basis par hardware mat badlo.
