iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

It seems to have, although wifi still seems laggy at times.

I use the Bria softphone app for my desktop phone so I will know today for sure.

Same issues with my iPad 4 - keep getting the message "Safari has lost connection". Unable to print to my eprinter from apps and worse yet, when I tried to log into Apple Support I received a message that I needed the current version of Safarai - WHAT? I am sorely regretting this upgrade to iOS 8. Steve Jobs must be turning over in his grave. I have been an Apple fan for years but the love is fading fast! Now I'm giving serious thought to canceling my iphone 6 order.

Haha yes I'm a girl! I don't know the relation between location services & WIFI, maybe someone else can answer that?

In regards to a DNS change I've only ever used Google's.

Open DNS works as well. Not as fast though.

RE: Google Spy - If you're worried about spying then don't go on the internet at all. Privacy died a long, long time ago. I do believe the NSA makes that perfectly clear. No way around it.

I was having the same issues on two iPad Airs, an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 5s. What I found was that the Settings --> Personal Hotspot was enabled by default and by turning it off on all of the devices, everything returned to normal. You might need to power off and back on the devices after turning off the Personal Hotspot.

Re: Google spy. I am not worried about the NSA. Google has the biggest database on the most people of any organisation in the world. That concentration of information can only be dangerous. But, they can be largely avoided. I avoid their apps and services and block their scripts on web pages. Google Analytics has become an epidemic.

It is not the data getting out that is the worry. It is the concentration of data in one place that is the precursor of all that is bad in science fiction, and soon to be reality.

I have exactly the same issue with our iphone 5, iphone 5c and both our Ipad Air's. They seem to work perfectly when using 3G signal or when the ipads are tethered or using a mobile dongle.

This fix worked perfectly on all my iDevices... 5C, iPad Mini and Air.

GREAT... but why?

Since you are so brilliant at finding solutions, am I the only one who has noticed that iTunes on my Mac no longer sees my iPad Mini and iPad Air since iOS 8? iTunes Sync no longer works. I do not have this problem with my iPhone 5.

Same problem here. Have an iPad Air 64Gb and an iPhone 5S 64Gb and they both have the same issue with WiFi connection after upgrading to iOS 8. Using AirPort Extreme.

Both had no issues when running iOS 7.

How do i go back to iOS 7.1.2 ? I have all kinds of issueswith IOS 8 on my iPad 4th Generation.

me too. What the **** is wrong? Now I am asked for a VPN password, after the "user name" (all numbers/letters) already inserted. What a cluster &%$#^*)_

Feel like throwing it out the window.

me too. Now I cannot even get on the **** iPad without knowing what V P N is and its password

well done one miss gem. A grat find. Has fixed it perfect. Seems the location services for wifi network screwed. Once disabled no more connectivity issues!!

Re: Google Spy: I stay away from Analytics for sure. Its already a reality, I believe but of course its getting worse and worse. Facebook is a major plague. Wouldn't dare catch me on that site.

Anyway back to the topic. My WiFi is going strong on both iPad 2 and iPad Mini and its been over an hour. No lags at all. As stated previously, changing my DNS setting to Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 worked as does Open DNS settings: http://www.opendns.com/
