Same here, I got the Iphone 6 plus from reseller at around 100USD more than RRP from Apple on 13th OCT. I updated to iOS 8.0.2 right after phone was activated. No luck in getting connected with my TP-LINK router. I sent online report and got an case ID, I called to the online technical, tried to do all the reset on the phone and on the router, not successful. I connected my phone to another router, it was working fine. So next day, I called up and discussed the issue. The operator was helpful and resourceful. However, nothing can be done to solve it. I also asked if they had any similar reports about wifi issue. The answer was negative. He suggested me to visit Genius Bar.
Not sure if this happen in US or other counties. The reservation of Genius Bar requires sending a SMS to apple phone number in taking a code to go into system for the Genius Bar slots. Unfortunately they only allow you to make booking in 2 days advance. Without any booking, the code will be considered used and it would be expired. I made the reservation and discussed with the staff at the bar. No solution and he suggested to wait for iOS8.1 on the coming Monday (which was 20th OCT) or I could get a replacement phone at that time but it wouldn't be a brand new phone. After you spent 1100USD for a phone, will you be willing to change for a 2nd hand? Expected that would be someone's return phone as well. So I told them I decided to wait for update.
Update to iOS8.1 was not resolving anything so I had to make reservation again. A I have no clue when the system updates with more slots, I kept trying until the message popped up, 1 mobile phone number allows a max of 3 codes PER WEEK. I used all quota for 2 of my phone and I got fed up and I called technical support again. They suggested me to walk-in to the shop to discuss with the staff. I went to the shop and discussed the issues that I had, they said at that point, no replacement phones were available. What I have to do was wait for 3 to 4 days. I got so upset and I talked to the shop manager Miss Karen. Unfortunately, she said everything was company policy and I also said I understand, they wouldn't be able to make any policy change easily. Then I kept my defect phone and went home. However, I also found out my phone had QC issue. when I check on the side, there was a gap between the phone and the display.
Unset with everything, I decided to sell it to the 2nd hand market. One week of nightmare and frustration... Should I buy back another 6plus when it becomes available? I really don't know.
