wifi issues with iphone 6

I am having the same exact issue. In summary; I have confirmed the problem to be with the iPhone itself. I first upgraded my 5S with no problems. I purchased two new iPhone 6 space grey 64GB units and one works flawlessly, but the other is jumping back an fourth on the wi-fi. I first thought it was maybe a router issue, but after confirming the other two units including my iPad 3 (on iOS8) and iPad 4 (on iOS7) also work fine, I decided to troubleshoot further.

Problem detail: The wi-fi randomly disconnects and reconnects to wi-fi, however; when it disconnects, wireless networks are not accessible or viewable at all.

Repair attempts:

Attempt 1: toggled wi-fi on and off, then tried going into airplane mode for 2 minutes. This had zero effect.

Attempt 2: I rebooted the iPhone. Result: The iPhone 6 found and connected to my wireless network with no problems, but after a few hours, it fell offline again.

Attempt 3: I reset the network settings 3 times, and each time the problem was only temporarily resolved.

Proposed attempt 4: After research, It's clear that even a full whip and reload of the phone with factory setting has not resolved the issue for other users. I will not waste any more time here.

Conclusion: I'll be taking my effected iPhone 6 back to the apple store for replacement.

No it did not make it a full 24 hours. Subtle change in behavior.... It still showed connected the last time it occurred but nothing would pull up. Restarted phone and it connected and worked briefly and then dropped the wifi connection again after only like 5 minutes.

I'm about ready to return it until the issue is acknowledged and confirmed to be resolved.

I think the whole problem which I suffer to is less related to the iPhone 6 but to iOS 8. I have just the same problems on my iPhone 5s and my iPad Air. Yesterday, I got the new iP 6 - same behavior. Hopefully iOS 8.0.1 will set aside this annoying problem.

I had the same issue - this was the "solution"

Resetting network settings - search for instructions in the forum

No, resetting network settings does not fix the problem. That solution it temporary.

Even though a wifi fix was not listed in the 8.0.1 update, I was hopeful that it would fix the problem. It did not.

I'm having major issues too with my new iPhone 6+ and Wifi. It seems like it will only work for about 5 minutes then crap out. I have a full signal in the beginning and when I use for a couple minutes my signal goes straight to one bar and times out. Nothing will connect. Then when I go to wifi in the settings menu and try to turn off wifi the button gets stuck and completely screws up my system. I have to do a hard reboot to get anything working again. And a new issue started happening last night... I went to bed... wifi was working before I went to sleep... I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed my phone had switched over to the cell network... so I went to checkout my wifi settings and the wifi option was grayed out! After doing some research online I found out that the grayed out wifi status can mean it's over heating???

So my question is... do you think this is a software issue relating to IOS 8? Or is my phone physically broken? I mean I have no problem returning my phone and getting a new one expect that the iphone pluses are no where to be found at the moment. Arrggg, this is such a pain in the as*

I'm having the same issues with my iPhone 6 and iOS 8.

I was running iOS 7 on my 5s prior and it worked perfectly fine at home and at work. I now have the 6 and waited for iOS 8 on it and believe it's a iOS 8 issue since the settings are all exactly the same as when I had my 5s. I'm hoping Apple fixes it on a 8.0.2 update or something - I can't even download apps on wifi without hitting "retry download" 10+ times, then I go to LTE and it downloads just fine. Just a bit frustrating.

Both me and the girlfriend bought iPhone 6's last Friday.

Wifi barely works at all. If it does its painfully slow. Tried changing to 2.4 ghz, tried turning of wifi location networking. Updated to iOS 8.01. No difference. Even tried a different brand of router. No difference. Apple, please help...

Same problem here with my iPhone 6. IPad on IOS 7 and MacBook Air working fine on the same network. Oh dear.

Hey guys I just tried this on my iPhone 6 and its worked for me for now. The wifi speed is like night and day difference. Note: I only did the last step because I had already done the previous yesterday.

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-fix-ios-8-wifi-issues-on-iphone-and-ipad/ I'll see how long it lasts but lets see how many of get results from this.

Edit: Only 15 mins and im not totally convinced. It is better but not what it should be.

Hi all, just like you, I had terrible wi-fi ever since getting the iPhone 6 plus, and was very frustrated.

My problem has been solved(for real now). Disabled 'Wireless G' in my old Linksys router. Apple must have used some old code. THey had this same issue a couple years before they released iOS 7 And this was the temporary fix. I need to get a new router anyway so this will work for a few days til my wireless N router comes in.

Apple is supposed to be the company that builds devices that "just work." My a** they do. I'm beginning to wish I'd bought an Android device.

if you have dual band wifi at home with 2.4ghz and

5ghz and you make sepearte SSID's for both these

like abc_2.4ghz and xyz_5ghz and you are connecting

to xyz_5ghz through iphone, it got connected initially but

after few mins it disconnects. and when you try to

reconnect it will search for available wifi's and will not show

anything. Resetting network settings resolve this issue but

just temporarily

So solution is that, just name both band's as

same SSID like "abc" and then connect your phone

to that network

Phone will never go offline and will never

disconnects.

You will get better speed like 5ghz

connection but using same name for both bands.

i tested it for last 24 hrs and found no issues
