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!

    These people in question enjoy confrontations with others.  They enjoy seeing their own posts and ganging up on people.  I think they enjoy it more than offering help. If you ignore them eventually they will stop attacking you after they complement each other of course a few times. My advice is to ignore them completely because they will go to great lengths to have the last word. Let them have the last word because it makes them look foolish.

    Completely agree. Just report them to Apple...

    They seem to think that the purpose of the forum is to whine about the forum.  Hmmm...

    I Have reported three individuals - it's been acknowledged and under review. my grammar was attacked by one of them a while back. See what happens. Back on topic 8.3 seems a tad better but AirPlay is still a little ropey. Slightly happier but still nowhere near iOS 7 levels. Maybe the fixes are heading in right direction. Now the watch is out and once we get 8.4 and the new music features out the way I read bug fixes will be higher on the agenda. iOS 9 apparently will be more about fixes / stability etc than new features which could be a good thing.

    Do you feel better now?

    I have also reported an individual. Not something you expect from the Apple Community. I solved my problem relating to wifi issues I've had since iOS8.2 so I posted what I thought might be a possible solution for some people, or at least an insight into the problem some may be experiencing, but it was deleted.

    You talk about proof, well you said about Riddick “He is a ***** (check the UK dictionaries)” - this was changed to *****

     

    I suggested that the remark was defamatory and libelous and against the TOU. You then replied "Only if it is untrue".

     

    So you are saying it is true. Where is your proof?

    Are you going very going to try to help someone, or maybe ask a tech support question. This continually off topic posting of yours is a complete waste of space, but when you have helped someone I will consider answering your questions.

    Strange (but not unexpected) that Apple remove the comment where I asked Csound1 to provide proof to substantiate the allegations he made about another user

     

    Seems that experts can post what they like!

     

    And Philly_Phan said "All you do is whine about conditions on the forum.  Please find another forum that's more to your liking."

     

    No, all I want is everyone to abide by the conditions (TOU) of the forum. Perhaps you should find one to your liking, where you & other experts can award each other points for insulting comments

    Naah.  We don't spend our time complaining.

    Of course you don't

     

    You would not want to complain in case someone checked & saw how all you points were earned. You would rather keep whining about us zeros, how our opinion counts for nothing, how many thousands of points you have awarded each other

    Only the poster who creates the thread may award points, and they may award a maximum of 20 in any thread.

     

    if you took the time to learn how this forum works your posts would not be so ill informed.

     

    as to the removal of your posts it is because they violate the terms you agreed to when you joined the forum
