iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

I am fairly clear about elcpu and why he/she posts. Certainly clear enough to obviate the need for speculation regarding him/her.

And even though only a small proportion of people experiencing the problem, that is scant consolation for those that are

Especially those that continually blame the IOS instead of doing legitimate trouble-shooting.

Absolutely.

elcpu simply looked at what you had posted as a collection of definitive 'fixes' for iOS 8 Wi-Fi-Fi problems and presented his findings. To speculate there was a hidden motive is off topic

It's a question, even you should be able to see that.

I did respond earlier but Csound1's subsequent response to my reply got deleted by the moderator, so my initial reply became a victim. As Csound's original post is still here, I assume I can respond again. All I said was that elcpu posted his findings after researching the list of 'fixes", however Csound1 did not ask a question about elcpu's post, rather the question that was asked was speculation about why elcpu had posted.

Say what?

Please try and keep up, elcpu reviewed the list of 'fixes' for With-Fi issues' Csound1 had previously posted ( as originally posted by mmurray47) but Csound1, rather than question the findings of the review itself , speculated as to the reason why elcpu had done this. Some of the subsequent conversations got deleted by the moderator so I re-posted the response as to why I did not see the validity of Csound1's response to my previous post.

It was a question, I wanted to know if elcpu was recommending doing nothing instead of taking action. No speculation involved from me.

As for questioning it, I believe the original posters words, are you saying that they are not to be believed?

Just as there is evidence that a subset of the affected subset of users did something and fixed their problems.

I particularly liked the fix about turning Airplane mode on. Solved it for many. ✅

If you dispute that then feel free to take it up with the person who posted it, can you manage that, or would you rather not deal with it.

Users should try to fix problems - but they would rely on experts like yourself for suggestions as to what they should try

A very good point, a number of the solutions only provide a temporary fix. Whilst carrying out a reset on my phone will allow connection to wi-fi, it only lasts a few days then I need to repeat

And I have done most of the stuff suggested, reset phone network, full restore of phone, setup as new phone then reinstall, restart router. All of these things will only work for a week at most.

I have not tried turning on airplane mode (as all that does is disconnect everything) and I am not prepared to spend out on a new router as all other devices work fine. I have borrowed a router from a friend, same as before - by IOS8 devices keep dropping wi-fi

I have also asked questions of the experts, but my posts have been deleted

That would be because you voluntarily agreed to the Terms Of Use and yet decided to ignore them.

That was not the question I asked.

Have a nice day.

So that would explain why devices still running IOS7 seem to be immune from the problems

Or then again, maybe not.

ios7.1 thanks for destroy my wifi | Apple Support Communities

The same complaints have been made about every version of IOS, and every version of Android as well, it's the users not the software, we will see exactly the same response when IOS9 releases, and so on.

Your question (to elcpu) was "So, are you suggesting that posters should not try to fix their problem?"

I agreed "Users should try to fix problems - but they would rely on experts like yourself for suggestions as to what they should try"

Surely that is the aim of the support communities, ordinary users can get tips and hints from experts?
