I got a used phone from a coworker and the phone is bent in the corner and now the wifi doesn’t work on the phone at all, i can’t even log out of their icloud account because it won’t connect to any wifi. does anyone know what i could do?
Is dit een goede vraag?

You’ll need to bend the corner back or replace the entire back housing (the entire aluminum back). From the sounds of it, your wifi antenna is damaged.
wifi antenna found here: iPhone 7 Top Left Antenna
video of wifi antenna replacement can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHTddCIv...
Please note that you need remove the battery once you open the phone before anything else.
How bad is the bend? Only reason I ask, is the back housing replacement requires everything inside the phone to be moved over to the new housing. It’s a pretty hefty process, but if it’s not too bad, you may be able to bend it back and have it be just fine. You’ll also need to make sure that bending it back wont put any strain on the motherboard or battery, so pictures of the phones current condition will help me understand the best approach for this issue.

Hi Tyler. Thank you for your continued contributions to the Answers Forum. However, I have noticed that you frequently post links to the Fixez website for parts. Please be aware that that goes against the Commercial Link Policy on this website. You can read more about it here.
If iFixit sells the part you are highlighting, you really should be linking it instead of competing websites. It is an iFixit forum after all and not a Fixez forum. If iFixit does not offer the part, then you can link an external source.
The moderators thank you!
Understood. Sorry, will do next time.
No worries !

Most likely the wifi antenna is broken. And the housing will need to be replaced
