Sep 24, 2014 3:44 AM in response to Bkklein35by Randy Kuite,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.

Sep 24, 2014 4:30 AM in response to Randy Kuiteby mkummer,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.

Sep 24, 2014 10:18 AM in response to mscholesby e-mexx,I had the same issue - this was the "solution"
Resetting network settings - search for instructions in the forum

Sep 24, 2014 10:33 AM in response to e-mexxby teefar,No, resetting network settings does not fix the problem. That solution it temporary.

Sep 24, 2014 10:45 AM in response to @nkitby dwolfe753,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.

Sep 24, 2014 11:06 AM in response to @nkitby smiddleton1980,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*

Sep 24, 2014 11:57 AM in response to @nkitby Torin M,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.

Sep 24, 2014 12:02 PM in response to @nkitby djmidgley,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...

Sep 24, 2014 4:16 PM in response to marino9611by teefar,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.

Sep 24, 2014 7:08 PM in response to @nkitby olchika,Hi all, just like you, I had terrible wi-fi ever since getting the iPhone 6 plus, and was very frustrated.
What worked for me is the following:My provider is Bell (in Canada). When logged in on their website under modem settings, all I had to change is the channel bandwidth from auto to 20 (as suggested by Apple in their wi-fi troubleshooting section). Now my connection is great, and seems to last, even when I wake up my phone!
Hope it will help some of you as well!

Sep 25, 2014 6:05 PM in response to olchikaby teefar,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.

Sep 25, 2014 10:10 PM in response to @nkitby marc.swingler,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.

Sep 26, 2014 11:33 AM in response to @nkitby psohi,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

Sep 26, 2014 12:04 PM in response to Bkklein35by Bkklein35,So I have not lost my Wi-Fi connection since doing the complete restore though iTunes on September 23rd. I did not do the iOS 8.0.1 update or the 8.0.2 update.
