iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

After updating my ipad mini 16 GB retina ATT, I have connection issues as well

While web browsing connection just seems to stop but still shows full signal in the status bar. speed tests have dropped significantly to 4-2 mbps when it is normaly 34-10. I have an Asus RT-AC68R and 2 other ipads that have yet to be updated and work great on ios7!! Wish i could roll my ipad mini 2 back. This update has made this ipad very frustrating to use.

Steps I have take to trouble shoot:

Full Reset and Restore,

Full WIFI settings delete and manually restore

Full Itunes Restore (Hold down home button while connecting to itunes on PC)

None of which have helped more then 30 mins of which the problem comes back.

Also need to note that after updating this ipad, it take a very very long time to see my apple tv and sometimes it doesn't at all.

Way to go apple for giving us all the beta and not making us able to roll back.

Went over to my boyfriends last night, and the past few days my iphone 6 had no problems connecting to his wifi. this time, i was connected to it for awhile, but then i realized i wasn't connected anymore. went over to the wifi setting and realized that the phone wouldn't find ANY wifi networks for a long time...had to keep turning wifi on and off, then finally it found his wifi again but took FOREVER to connect to it. what is wrong?!!!

UPDATE: After restoring WiFi Router and WiFi ADSL Modem it is now back to the way it was no Internet at all regardless of the fast that it is working fine on both Laptop and Desktop PC's without any issues at all.

I read on another thread that someone suggested turning off Bluetooth and their wireless started working again on both their affected devices. I'm going to try that next after I let both my devices cool down for about a half hour. Will let you all know.

Guys - try this, it's been about 5 hours for me now & I've still not had a timeout. That's the only thing I fiddled with.

I just realized the jokes on us, now our devices stutter just like their presentation lol

Now our devices are so advanced they cant connect to anything

I too have noticed the double cap' issue on my iPad but I only see it on the Safari browser, and this forum no where else. I do not use Safari. Firefox, Google, or Chrome is all I use. I do have WiFi issues, mostly with the iPod Touch 5, but no different then before the upgrade. I should point out that I do not have an iPhone so many of the problems sited I will not have. However I am going to get an iPhone 6+ when things settle down in a few months. I knew better then to purchase an iPad Air with a built in wireless connection, it limits you too much instead I am using a Verizon Jetpack MiFi with 4G connectability. I have zero problems with it. My home network uses a Apple Airport Extreme, I have not had any trouble with my network only the usual trouble with my CenturyLink DSL connection. I do not blame Apple for broken App's that is not Apple problem what few problem I experienced where quickly solved. I have experienced no battery over heating issues, both the iPad Air, and iPod Touch 5 are encased in an OtterBox Defender case. The one issue I do have that I have not yet taken the time to address is My iPod Touch is paired to my iPad Air via Bluetooth, it doesn't work. I am not sure why. I do have an Apple bench mark. I have my first iPod Touch 2G every so often I pull it out and charge it up, even those the screen looks like it is out of focus it is a marvel how smooth it works, it seem like things have gone down hill since.

Well, there you have it. Everyone must now go out and buy an air extreme to be able to use their wifi on their idevices.

I have the same issue with my iPad Air.

It is not a router issue as I have an Airport Extreme as well as airports.

I have done the suggestion of:

And we will see if that works or not.

I notice the problem after the ipad is dormant for a while, wether screen is sleep or not.

I have not noticed this on the iPhone 6+ I have now as of yet, just the ipad air. Apple really needs to look at this.

So glad it is not me, I noticed this last week.

Did it work?

Tried turning off BlueTooth. Didn't work on either iPad 2 or iPad Mini. Don't have 3G or 4G on either device so I'm pretty much screwed until the problem rights itself....I guess. Really? Apple Really?

Since the update on my iPhone 5, the WiFi (across multiple networks - not just one) keeps dropping all the time. I have full signal strength (sat right next to the routers) and yet it drops continuously, and has become unusable. Prior to the update it worked fantastically on all 3 networks.

Update, and fix, soon, please.

Got both my devices working finally. Go to your WiFi Network and then WiFi Settings

Erase whatever you have in your DNS settings.

Replace with Google's: 8.8.8.8

Worked like a charm!

Hope this helps!

Thanks MissGem. If you are a girl, a big kiss on the cheek. That seems to have worked. Any idea why? Do you think that we should turn it back on after Apple updates iOS 8?

HEY EVERYBODY, I THINK THIS IS A SOLUTION!

I would rather not have Wifi than use a Google spyware service!
