That is the trouble with a workaround - it is a way of working around a problem. Now if any of these workarounds do provide a permanent solution then I would hope Apple could incorporate into the next software release so that all users can benefit from the solution users have found independent of Apple's developers
Or expert users

Hi Philly
Interesting that Stanky and crew now come back to criticize the posters that took a little action for themselves and fixed their issues. Stanky et al are very negative.
They didn't come to the forum to seek solutions. They came here to whine.

Meaning that it may or may not be correct, either outcome is possible. I fail to see how that differs from what I said. In English they mean the same thing.
What I see from you is an extremely negative attitude, constant posts aimed at dissuading other posters from attempting to solve their issues. I can't understand why you don't want them to solve their problem, that's not very nice of you.

Reminds me of a film "Look who's talking"Why should users need to replace their kit? Why do they need to go through pages on here in the hope of finding something that may work? The issue was caused by software, so Apple need to provide a properly tested solution
And your comment "that's not very nice of you" - I suppose insulting people & calling someone a nonce is nice?

May 27, 2015 2:27 AMby Garfield185,Same for me. Installed iOS 8 lost 2.4 wifi. Other devices connect ok including 2 iPhones ( not upgraded to ios8). Virgin UK supplied new router with 5 ghz now ok. But as most places I visit do not have this iPad is now useless as a mobile device. I have tried all suggestions still not connecting. Surely Apple know there is a problem. If this was a Windows problem Microsoft would have a patch which sorted the problem. Does Apple not care?

May 27, 2015 6:39 AMby MagicStick,Agree with wobbly_bob on this. My solution (one of those 15) to this was having to buy a new router which was compatible with iOS 8.2+ This was not an ideal solution and I had to spend money to fix an issue that should not be there in the first instance. The router I had previously was not old (was the standard router you get with SKY BROADBAND).
I know of two other people in my street who have the same router/ISP and were experiencing the same problems with their 'apple' network'. Have advised them to get the same router I had to buy (ASUS DSL-N55U). None of which bought so far. One of said neighbors phoned their ISP and they told him that they don't recommend using another router on their network instead of the standard issue one. I can understand why they said this. It's rubbish that people who are not savvy enough to install their own router have to suffer this ongoing Apple issue.
Anyway I hope me mentioning the name of the router I found to work will help people out there.

According to OFCOM that's about 400,000 homes. (20% of 22 million)
