Is there someone out there that has fixed the issue with a new router? What error messages did you get and what other devices did you have, if any, and how were they handling the wifi connection?

"Happy to report that since updating (sic: my phone) that I got my 6 nearly 5 days ago, my wifi has been super. No dropping or being sluggish"

"I finally caved in and bought a new router, a TENDA 300 Mbps, model W309R+. My wifi hasn't dropped since, neither on my Macbook nor my iPad 3."

Mar 18, 2015 8:00 AMby wobbly_bob,
But as I said a friend who has a Galaxy does NOT have the problem (maybe he'd switched off the smart network mentioned on that forum), nor does another friend who uses a BlackberryI came on here hoping there might be something simple that I could do - obviously not

No, replacing the router will not fix the issue. I have an iPad 3rd gen that has WIFI issues that started after installing IOS8 no matter where I go. My girlfriend has an iPad mini with no issues. Both of us are on IOS 8.2.
Truthfully, that sounds like a hardware problem with your iPad 3.

My WIFI "slowdowns" started happening right after I installed IOS8 and it happens on and off on multiple wireless networks.

Mar 18, 2015 8:04 AMby wobbly_bob,I've been on other forums but have never seen the amount of insults being made, especially by the expert users who get dots for helping people!
All I was trying to do was get an answer, but just got snide comments. If that's indicative of the Apple community perhaps I will consider alternatives

Mar 18, 2015 8:05 AMby amishmm,Yes but you missed the point.
Other phone has workaround to resolve the issue.
While Apple has not given me any workaround.
And this is the last response that I had got from Apple about 20days back and there is no update on this:
Typically if it is a software issue an update will be released that contains the fix or you will be contacted by your original advisor with instructions.
Neither update has fixed it not they have sent me any instructions.
PS: SAD news for me is that I will be forced to sell iphone 6 at loss soon.

So, why add inaccuracies to your story?

Mar 18, 2015 8:08 AMby gadgetadam,A problem with my iPad? No. When I was running IOS 8.1.3 I would get the slowdown even if I had my bluetooth turned on. Now with IOS8.2 I get it only when I'm streaming audio to my bluetooth speaker. I would think if it was hardware it would be consistent no matter what. Many have shut off bluetooth and it has "fixed" their issues but it's not really a fix. It's disabling a feature because of an IOS 8.x bug and/or something that Apple has not yet identified and/or made public.
If i could I would go back to IOS 7.something and take video of my iPad NOT slowing down to prove it is not a hardware issue. The trouble with troubleshooting these devices is we can not go back in time and document them working properly. We can only talk about and document how they are now.

Well, I have an iPad 3 (in addition to an iPad 4 and an iPad Air 2) all are on iOS 8.2 and have none of those problems nor did that on iOS 8.1.3 (or any previous iOS 8 release).
Why do you have problems and I don't? What conclusion would you draw?
