Q: iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems

WI-Fi problems on iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display and iPhone 5S after upgrading to iOS 8.

Typical results from OOKLA Speedtest before upgrade: Ping 17 ms, Upload 21 Mbps, Download 4.4 Mbps

Typical results after upgrade: Ping 39 ms, Download 2.9 Mbps, Upload 0.47 Mbps

iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.2 get 15 Mbps download and 4.4 upload on the same network.

Resetting network settings on the iOS 8 devices did not improve the performance.

Changing band on the router from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz did give me back the speed on all devices.

However the speed occasonally drops on the iOS 8 devices, and the signal strengt can go from full til lost connection without moving the devices.

Also sometimes the Wi-Fi SweetSpots app report 0 mbps when the signal strenght is indicated as full and then suddenly go up to around 58 Mbps again.

It is almost like the device is trying to use cellular network that I do not have on the iPads before it suddenly switches back to Wi-fi nettwork again.

I am thinking about going back to my iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.2 that is working perfectly until the Wi-Fi issues are resolved.

 

Any help will be very much appreciated!

    And yet you were the one who makes all the claims who can't back up anything with data... Data however I have off the Apple website... I can't make facts not be true... Don't get mad at me because you didn't find it... I'm just a little zero with no points...

    Did you forget calling me a zero with no points a few pages back or did you forget? I'm sorry that you guys missed this... Not like I seen it myself until six months ago... One day I realized I did not have the 1080 P files on my laptop so I deleted the 720 P files out and install the 1080 P files on iTunes and when I started I realized that is the file your laptop or computer uses to sync with your Apple device and I realize that it should install that 1080 P file over the 720 P file because I deleted it...  So when the first file was done downloading into my computer I plugged in my iPhone 5s and my iPad mini and install the 1080 P file and about had to catch myself from hitting the floor when I hit play for the first time because I was amazed to see what the screen looks like to see the unit jump from 50% performance to 100% performance... It's like driving a car for 50,000 miles and then you take the car to the dealership and they tell you oh we forgot to turn half of the engine on ......  Sorry about that.. Now we turned on all the cylinders in the engine so you are good to go...

    You have not posted any supported facts at all, just waffle

    My posts are backed up from Apple website so how is it a lie you have yet to prove it is a lie? You are so upset you can't find any facts and post them to show that his is incorrect... I'm still waiting for you to post something that shows I'm in correct that it is not 1080 P supported... Well? I'm waiting?
