Please help test this theory. I believe this is an IPV6 related issue. Go to http://test-ipv6.com If it shows you ave an IPV6 address, turn off IPV6 on your modem and see if that help. I have not had any issues since I turned off IPV6 on my and my mother's C1000A modems. Apple needs to get with the modem manufactureres and ISPs to fix this issue.

I've had this same problem with the iPad Air since installing 8.0.2 (which I thought was designed to correct connection problems experienced with 8.0.1??) - dropping connection with my home wifi, failing to connect for ever. I've turned off router and turned on again, rebooted the iPad... and do we hear anything at all from Apple?? Perhaps the name of this forum is wrong - it seems that it should be called Communities Support Apple, because we get sod all from the company. This could drive me back to Windows and Android!

I too am still having the exact same problem with iOS 8.02 and Wi-Fi, 5G is nonexistent can't connect, my Samsung phone connects with my 5g no problem but the iPad, totally screwed up. I have also tried all remedies suggested, I rebooted my modem, I rebooted my router, I rebooted my iPad, I rebooted everything I've shut it all down, brought it all back up, nope, nothing makes any difference. They really need to fix this and they really need to make a comment means forms to let us know that they're working on it.

This appalling example of Apple making such a mess of the release of IOS8 is the reason why I now have a Sony Xperia z3 in place of my iPhone 5. I was so excited about the release of the iPhone 6 and Plus and would have upgraded the 5 to one of these phones, but for this seemingly apathetic attitude by Apple. To release iOS8 with so many bugs is really poor and my iPad Air 128gb cannot keep it's connection to any wifi network for more than a couple of moments at a time. When it does connect it takes forever to load pages and the whole experience is hugely disappointing. Have to say that I was always sceptical of moving to Android, but Sony have made the move easy. Not sure if I will ever consider iPhone again after owning this phone. Sorry to bash you Apple, but you have really let yourself down and have lost a long-term iPhone customer. My iPad just needs to work and do what it is designed to do. Please, please, please sort this out and quickly!!

Possible fix. When originally installing 8.0 on my iPad it failed until I was able to get a code from

Apple for the two factor authentication. Wifi continued to worsen until yesterday when I attempted

to look at my profile for iCloud under Settings-> iCloud -> My Name.


It repeatedly asked for my password which I entered correctly.


While on my iPad I logged into my Apple id from the web, and sent the validation code

to the iPad I was working on.


I entered the code, logged into iCloud from the settings as I had tried but failed to do

before and now everythin appears to be working over the past 24 hours. A big difference

from Wifi failing 1-2 times per hour.


GIve it a shot

No offense but people are just grabbing at straws for a fix here. I'm glad this helps you but I've never had a problem with any updates or in this case complete operating system changes from Apple. We should have been notified if "two-step verification" was necessary in order for ios 8 to function properly. I think people should stop trying to fix this. It's Apple's responsibility, not ours.

Ironically screen just froze while entering reply, and had to go out and back in in order to continue my post. I had saved it as this happens frequently. Then when attempting to paste, below is what was pasted. This is something I copied couple days ago, and is example of another problem many are having. Random copied material comes up when trying to paste something new.
