iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

SaltWaterBoater on page three has provided a good downgrade guide but get on it soon, time limited.

I Was/am having the wifi problems as everyone else on here when I'm at home. I am on Verizon fios with their router. I am currently at Disney world with the family and am connected to their wifi which is sponsored by AT&T and have had zero connection issues or wifi speed issues over the last 24 hours. I'm not sure how their wifi is setup so I'm sure it is IOS 8 with certain routers? Or types/speed of connections?

My iPad Air 64gb wi-fi disconnects about every 15 minutes. I have to go to settings and turn it off and on again. Not happy

I have the same problem; after upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the wifi connection has gone from rock solid to very unstable. I have to go to settings and turn off/on all the time. 😠

I have seen someone else's message regarding 5G connection, once I connected my iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini Retina to 2G, my problems stopped. This is definitely an issue, and we need it fixed.

I have this exact same problem. I noticed it just after I updated to IOS 8. I was I was trying to stream music to my airplay JBL Soundfly and the sound quality was extremely poor and it kept cutting out. Also the wifi will not work from my bed anymore when it used to work perfectly before the update.

I have similar troubles with my iPad Air Wi-Fi. My router is located quite far away from my PC and iPad usually. And before iOS8 it was quite fine. Now it's a different story: when iPad is connected to Wi-Fi and tryes to load something the whole network goes down! I do continuous ping from my PC to my router and it shows usual response time – 1-3 ms. After iPad comes online it goes nuts: response time becomes from more than a second to infinity. And internet on iPad itself is not working at all. After I turn off Wi-Fi on iPad everything becomes normal again. My router is ZyXEL Keenetic, but I doubt someone knows this model. 🙂

I have tried all the actions listed and have not found a solution. I have tried using other WiFi routers as well. I have not been able to re-download the apps that I deleted to install IOS 8. I was able to get them to by syncing with iTunes, but things like my Books cannot be downloaded and updates to the apps cannot be run.

It appears the iPad 3 is working hard because the battery is draining quickly. Hope there is a solution soon.

The update worked well for my iPhone 5s - but it no longer goes 2 days on a charge.

Everyone. Just roll back to iOS7 until Apple fixes this mess. I rolled back and problems are gone

I'm also having similar problems with my iPhone 6 Plus, particularly with the enterprise wireless network I connect to primarily. My iPhone will connect, but when I leave the settings app and begin using anything else, it often disconnects straight away or disconnects after a couple of minutes. This is without moving the device.

iPad 3rd Generation on iOS8 will not stay connected either. Hope this gets resolved with an 8.01 update very soon.

Houston we have a problem - In this case IOS 8 had my IPAD AIR grounded due to sproadic loss of internet connection. I'm hoping that Apple issues a patch soon. Video's are slow and choppy, Facetime turned into No-face at all.

No way to go back to IOS 7.1.2 is a bummer so, we are stuck in the twilight zone.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue of not able to access internet in my iPad Air after updating to iOS 8.

I bought iPad Air some 20 days back and it was working perfectly well with iOS 7 (not remember the exact version of iOS 7) but last Friday I updated it to iOS 8 and since then I am facing issues with my WiFi internet connection specially with 5 GHz network. It works ok when I am close to router but as soon as I went into another room it won't able to access internet at all. Previously with iOS 7 it was working perfectly well from that room. My all other WiFi devices are working fine from that room.

I did some research on internet and someone suggest to reset the network settings, I did that but it works fine for sometime and the problem come back again.

Today I have taken an appointment with Genesis technician and told them about this problem but even they did not have have a solution for this problem as of now. Then I have requested them to downgrade it back to iOS 7 but it seems that they can not do it either. Hence finally I end up returning the iPad back because if internet is not working then I cannot do any thing with iPad.

I am a big fan of apple products but such issues cause a lot of frustration. I almost wasted 2-3 days resetting things in my ipad and router but now I am pretty sure that this has to do with iOS 8 update.

Purpose of this post is let apple know that this is a very big issue/bug in new iOS 8 and they should do something quickly to fix this.

Same problem here, no problems on latest iOS 7 version. Drops wifi every few minutes on iOS 8 on my iPad air. At least my iPhone 6 seems to keep the connection.

I have same problem with iPhone 5s and iPad 5th generation 😢

Yes, same problems for me since update.

Sometimes it works but then drops out of connection and then is difficult to reconnect. WIFI is full on but ipad does not connect.
