iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

Both my iPad and iPhone are now working perfectly since I upgraded

Thanks Insider, I actually had thought of you and was wondering how you were fairing out... Glad to hear that all is well...

Cheers...

🙂

It is an iPhone5 that I am having issues with. I don't have an iPad. But my wife has the same phone and she connects to our router without issue. Also we have a laptop and Nook and both those also connect fine to the router.

Got it now, thanks... Is your phone able to connect to Wi-Fi where you are at? Would shed some light....

Yeah at my work I can connect and it seems to work much better than home in terms of speed and range issues

Hey elcpu, I updated to 9 and it is good here also, no more drops Thanks for all your help

Why aren't you helping those that have indicated that IOS-9 has caused problems and they want to downgrade to IOS-8?

An earlier post in this forum demonstrated the extent of help given by Philly_Phan to those of us suffering Wi-Fi issues with IOS 8. Quote;

"Since the vast majority of users have not reported problems, I'll stick with the understanding that your problems, whatever they are, are unrelated to the IOS."

So now we know the problems elcpu, myself and others were related to the IOS, and the vast majority of IOS 9 users have not reported problems, what are your considered thoughts to those unfortunate to have wi-fi problems with 9 ?

Same thing here. Ipad 3 has always worked fine. iPhone 5 doesn't connect to any w-lan since iOS 8.4.1. iOS 9 didn't solve the issue.

Your generalization about IOS9 users is blatantly incorrect. Why are you ignoring those with problems? Since you and ecpu are the experts on IOS issues, I thought sure that you'd jump right in.

Sure thing... thanks for the feedback.

I have never claimed to be an expert on IOS issues, don't know what gave you that idea, perhaps you could elaborate.? What I am an expert on are my own Wi-Fi issues which are now resolved since upgrading to 9. I also don't know what generalisation I have made about IOS 9 users is incorrect, again please explain.

No.

If we are to believe you why should we not believe them. What makes you correct and all those others wrong? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

I choose to believe them.

No not stuck anymore, upgrading to IOS 9 fixed it for me and others so no sour grapes on my part. Happy for you to add my fix to the list of fixes you keep posting as this one works.

Unfortunately your 'fix' is not a fix for most that are suffering the issue still in iOS9. so can't be added to any list of known 'fixes'.

Well thank goodness those pages of rubbish have been deleted, and the users with genuine WiFi issues can now get some help here. Thanks to the Moderators for that.

As mentioned, some are still having issues with ios9 wifi not working but some have solved their issues, so may be worth a try.

Cheers to the genuine posters.

Hi everyone.

Real quick my case:

Device: 2 x iPhone 5S

System: IOS 7.1.2 - works fine

System: IOS 8.0 - didn't work for me (WIFI drops off)

System: IOS 9.0 - works great

I did an update to IOS 8.0 a year ago.

Then I did a downgrade back to IOS 7.1.2 (the same day in Sep 2014)

Yesterday (20 SEP 2015) I did an update to IOS 9.0 on both devices.

THEY WORK GREAT ON IOS 9.0!!

NO ISSUES HERE.

The bad part was, that on one device I was unable to restore from backup.

After restore I had a white screen and words: CHANGE VERSION - and was unable to do ANYTHING

After restored as a new iPhone it works fine.

I have no more issues now.

Happy and satisfied.

PS. To trolls:

So sorry about you guys talking here about nothing helpful and wasting your time.

You also waste someone's else time who are going through all that sh... searching for solutions and advise.

Really sorry, but if that is your job....
