Ipad mini with retina wifi extremely slow/dead after ios 8 update

Just updated my devices to iOS 8. Im having no issues with the Iphone 5s wifi works perfectly fine. But with the Ipad Mini w/ Retina I can't get any wifi. Its connected, I've reset the wifi & router. But my mini keeps saying there isnt any internet connection. Anyone else have this issue?

Every device I have updated from iPhone 5s to three different models of iPads have all had extremely frustrating wifi issues. After trying to join the devices to the very same network from which they downloaded the ios 8 software, they refuse to connect. The network and the router are not the problem. After several reboots on each device, resetting the network settings and forgetting the network, the only thing that has worked is manually setting the IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS. After setting all of those they will "connect" but they do not have internet service. I then have to go back to DHCP and after waiting about a half an hour, the devices will connect to the network. Even then the connection is very spotty and will drop often. Everything else I have in the building has no problems connecting to this network and I have had no problems before yesterday with any iDevice connecting.


Is anyone else experiencing wifi issues after upgrading? The iPads without cellular service are basically bricked without being able to connect to a network.

really pleased your sorted, factory reset will obviously also crear out WiFi network settings


been real handy if you had tried to only reset network settings first, if that worked it would add 'authority' to my suggested fix.


I'm waiting for the stream of help calls from family, freinds and clients, they know i love my Apple 'pips' and if they upgrade with issues, it will be me gets the calls - and likely sworn at like its my fault lol!

I have an iPad mini iPhone 5 and iPad 2. The only device I am having problems with is the iPad 2. It is very slow now even pulling up an app or the keyboard lags. My Wi-Fi connection is very slow after update to tried resetting router. It is taking over an he to update Apple's numbers and pages apps. Hopefully there is a fix for this. I don't want to buy a new iPad air now as I am hoping for a new release soon later this yr

II'm having the same ios8 issue with the wifi network connection on the iPad mini retina becoming unusable after a few minutes after a restart. I've tried resetting the network settings and resetting all settings but the issue keeps coming back,


im not having any problems on my iPhone 5 with ios8. My iPad is basically unusable until I can find a fix.
