Q: iOS 8.3 Wifi Keeps dropping

i've never had any Wi-Fi or "Wi-fried" issues before with my phone but since upgrading to a 8.3 it keeps dropping my Internet constantly.   I even had the cable people come out and replace the modem, and I've been using a brand new airport express which I bought 6 mo ago and never had a problem with it until upgrading to 8.3. The only way to get the Internet to turn back on once it goes out is to unplug the airport and plug it back in. This happens 15 times a day.  I HATE it. My phone is basically useless.  How do I fix this or revert back to an old iOS?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, Wifi won't work, keeps dropping!!!

    I Have an iPhone 6 Plus. Two iPhone 6 Plus as my wife has one also. We use Apple Airport Express. We have numerous other Apple devices (iPad 2, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPod Touch, Apple TV) and they don't seem affected. But I agree there is a wifi issue in iOS 8.3 and its regular and I can repeat the issue. My workaround is to turn off wifi using the swipe-up control center then switch it back on. Very irritating. It seems to be localised to when the phone has been in lock screen with limited activity that the issue develops. It remains stable when playing downloadable content such as an iPlayer.

     

    Apple please sort it out!

    ok I just got on by doing this.. I have  FIOS by the way,..

     

    I went to Wifi>Other Network

    I entered the name of my router then chose the type of password and was able to get it connected.

     

    Lets hope it lasts until Apple figures this out..,

     

    Good Luck

    Hey all I can say it self corrected on its own. I didn't do anything and then all of a sudden, a couple days later just started working.  So thanks for the help. Hopefully yours works out too.
