iOS 14.0.1 wifi issues

Same issue here. After iOS 14 and iOS 14.0.1 upgrade my iPhone WiFi gets disconnected frequently. Tried different things suggested in the internet but no luck.

Apple, looks like the iOS 14 was never fully tested. :-) Please fix this ASAP.

Same issue. My home wifi is strong (working from home with zero connectivity issues), but I have intermittent connectivity on my phone. It shows I'm connected but my safari or apps won't refresh. I disconnect wifi and use my carrier's LTE service and everything updates.

So my phone is having trouble connecting to internet alone. I’ve literally got two bars all the time no matter where I am, and when I connect my phone to my charger anything internet related says having connectivity issues try again later.. ever since I download iOS 14 this has been happening.

Ultimately, it seems to me that then the problem is VERY serious, VERY disabling, VERY varied and VERY widespread. A solution from Apple is necessary and urgent, because the effective solutions that each one finds never apply to all the others!

I believe the only global “solution” is what I’ve posted above, which in short entails completely resetting the device and setting it up as a new iphone/ipad, ie WITHOUT restoring it with your backup. The problem is somewhere within the software, so the problem will be migrated back into the device again...

Personally, I did the "live" procedure with Apple support.

However, it's very "simple": complete reset of the iPhone (it is reinitialized) and only the data loaded in iCloud are saved. Everything else is lost and third-party Apps will have to be reinstalled and completely reconfigured.

... Pretty invasive and very laborious method!

Having the same issue - MacBook Air is fine, and every other device connected to our WiFi is fine, but iPhone has rarely connected to WiFi since updating to iOS 14.0.1...which can be a problem when you have to call over WiFi because you don't even get LTE at your home...phone is basically useless until they release another version to fix this.

Tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings, shutting down iPhone, forgetting network, none of it works. Occasionally works if I share my WiFi password from my MacBook, but most of the time just says "Unable to connect".

Newest iPad Pro 11 + iPhoneX, both on iOS 14 and then 14.1. Total mess up considering wifi, on iPhone x battery issues on top.

In house on top of mentioned, 2x newest MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone 8plus, iPhone8, iPad Pro 10,5, iPad mini, ZERO PROBLEMS WITH WIFI BUT remaining iOS devices still running iOS 13. Clearly system issue. I have done on iPad Pro:

forget network

reset network settings

reset routers

no vpns/no private IP

factory reset and starting from clear

NOTHING HELPS!!!!

Same here! My wife’s iphone updated to that crappy 14.0.1 and can NO LONGER enter wifi in the house (while i am still 13.7..x and still can. No issues either with apple tv, macs in the house. What’s going on with that version ?

HELLOoooooo ???? Apong ???? Is this a covid-19 version ?????

I am having the same issue and the only thing that seems to work is to change the the DNS settings to Manual and add a dns server 8.8.8.8 or any other dns server in your region. This bug is really frustrating and expecting more from Apple

Me too had trouble with Wi-Fi for days since update to iOS 14 until this morning. My iPhone 11 stay connected to Wi-Fi but after a few seconds stop surfing and have to manually switch to the mobile network. Finally i solved by removing the DNS servers configuration (opendns for me) from the dhcp configuration of the router and set to automatic. Hope this help someone. Ciao 

Any WiFi router that has MAC filter enabled may not accept the “Private” MAC address feature of the new feature added in iOS 14.0.1 to each WiFi profile saved. Turning off the private Mac Address on the specific WiFi profile may allow your device to connect.

Another issue is it connects fine but moments later it prompts for password on a saved profile. Turning off “wifi assist” in Cellular settings (absolute bottom of the list) will allow the device to remain connected on weaker range areas of this wifi profile.

I suspect the failing over to WiFi profile flip flopping is triggering a false positive on the algorithm that the wifi profile saved is incorrect and thus asks for a re-authentication.

What if I use sn access point fifferent from router (with router’s wifi disabled) ?

now the fun is : The app to enter my Ubiquiti AP requires me to plug a computer direct to it.... it’s fixed on a ceiling!....

soooo funny all these useless « game changers »

Soooo

When you suggest: « Turning off the private Mac Address on the specific WiFi profile may allow your device to connect »

Does it need to be done on the wifi setting of the router/access point ? Or it is a setting in each iPhone ?

Apologies for the confusion.

each WiFi profile (SSID) saves on an iPhone for reoccurring use, has a setting when you touch the “i” icon. It is called “private address.” It slides on/off. This is specific to each saved profile on each iPhone.
