iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

You could get a wireless extender and set next to you ipad.

Might be useful for some, but when I was having problems (before IOS 8.3) I could be in the same room as my router, less than 6 feet away, iphone would show full strength signal yet it would still drop out

Yeah because I am going to buy more hardware to fix what is clearly an ios8 Software issue. Thanks for the "advice"

Well, it's not an IOS8 problem so there is likely a hardware issue.

Consider that it does work fine at work but not at home. If I were you, I'd investigate with more WiFi systems, preferably the one at an Apple Store.

Clear to who?

I'm sorry Philly Phan but when did you become the expert to say it's not an IOS8 issue. From my evidence through first hand experience and reading the countless other testimonies from others with the same issue, the problem clearly appears to be with the software. As hardware issue usually doesn't pick and choose when it works, it usually does or doesn't. Software tends to be a bit more fickle. It's a communication issue between my phone and my specific network at home. If everything else connects fine at home, then issue is not any hardware at my home. And if it does work fine at work, don't see how the phone itself could have a hardware issue. Please don't act like some authoritative voice that it is not an IOS8 issue, as you have no clue just like the rest of us.

To me and anyone else using logic and deductive reasoning

Countless? does that mean that you don't know how many of the many millions of users have this problem? or how many solved it with router changes (firmware updates etc), or how many users have had no issues at all.

Apocryphal nonsense.

I know it's clear to you, but that does not make it real for others.

Hmmm. It works just fine with one hardware router but not with another hardware router. However, your logic and deductive reasoning tells you that the problem is with the IOS software. Amazing!

Countless was an exaggerated term I chose to further imply that I have read accounts of numerous other people with the same issues as I am having where the router / hardware changes and resets have not solved their issues. Are you here to help Csound1 or just troll people over semantics?

When I ride my bike to the top of the hill it never gets there, it's fine going down. Must be something wrong with my bike 😕

Only when exaggeration is being used instead of fact.

Apple has admitted this - in case you forgot.

iOS 8.3 - Release notes

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth fixes

• Addresses an issue where some devices disconnect intermittently from Wi-Fi networks

It does not happen with all hardware router but Apple admitted it happens.

And same router works perfectly with other phones.

So logical deduction - Some (or may be all?) iOS devices have issues with some hardware routers.

So your point is that the issue has been resolved and Buffalo_DanK is imagining his problems!
