Hello,
I was wondering if any other iPhone 6 Plus owners on iOS 8 are having similar problems to me.
Sporadically the wifi drops and no wifi networks are found - doing a hard reset (holding the power button and home button together for 10 secs or so until the white apple screen comes up) seems to resolve this. I have done a full factory reset and restored a recent back up to no avail.
Cheers,
Rick.

Someone KNOWS WHEN compose Problem with wifi ios8 ??
Just to let you know I upgraded to the Asus RT-AC68U last weekend and have been running my Air 2, 6 Plus and 5S perfectly now for a week without any wifi Issues.
These are all on the 5Ghz network and working at full speed.
My Asus rt-N66U was also workings great on the 5ghz once I did a reset to default settings, that seemed to fix my slow and dropping wifi.
Since then I decided I needed a little more range and didn't want to install my old 2.4ghz repeater so I also bought the AC68U. I thought the N66U was impressive until I got the AC68U. Once I found the best channel to penetrate my walls on 5ghz it's been impressive. My 5ghz signal goes just as far as the 2.4ghz. I walk 5 houses down before I loose the signal. I think the only reason it switches off wifi is because the phones wifi is not string enought to reach my house at that distance.
Its a great router, can't wait to try the USB 3 port with my usb 3 external SSD drive for a network Time Machone backup.
When is there going to be a class action lawsuit against Apple for this? I also went through countless hours of diagnostics, resets, erasing, 8.1.1 update, etc. I am tired of being lied to and having my valuable time wasted on "fixes" that they know won't work. This is too expensive a device for Apple not to give customers a compatible router free of charge or pay their usage overages to their data providers!!! If they don't fix this soon, I predict it will be the downfall of Apple.
I am having same problem as well. All other Windows Phones, Android Phones work over the same Wi-Fi network, except Apple phones. That *****. I am definitely going to buy different phone next time. I am not spending my lifetime diagnosing this stupid issue which Apple doesn't seem to realize (and for which it's going to loose so many customers going forward)!
My iphone 6 plus Was suffering from that issue, even running iOS 8.4, i Have restarted device, done all internet fixes and even restored until i found a solution which i had tried by letting your iphone battery empty, then put the iphone on charge until it the battery is 100% without touching it and connecting it to wifi. then join after the battery is 100% to your wifi. and it would never disconnect again. From tommorow till today my wifi won't disconnect again!! Hope to fix this solution your wifi!
That sounds crazy. REALLY! I noticed my 6 plus only connects to 5ghz wifi.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that I don't always notice it and the phone then connects to cellular and eats up my data plan. I've been over on usage the last two months...ever since getting the phone...even with "wi-fi assist" turned off. It's a killer.
