Q: Why does iOS 8.0.2 not resolve the issue of WiFi connectivity with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6?

me too, same problem with my iphone 5c

i got the same problem with my iphone 5c too

My partner and I also have this issue - new iPhones that don't connect to a network. I am feeling really ripped off and really ****** off.

well Apple - I have been a fan boy since 1984 and I am posting your ****** service on every media service that I can.

Make sure your home WIFI is set to WPA or WPA2 and not WEP.

Also if you have a bumper or cover it may cause it to not connect as well .... I found

but this should not occur .... as my older iphones did not have this issue?

I have updated my iPhone 5S to 8.0.2 and the slow WiFi issue has not yet been rectified. Even whatsapp messages are taking forever to get delivered..

I just updated my iPhone 6 last night to 8.0.2 and now it's disconnecting from wifi. I literally have to reboot it to be able to find the wireless network and connect again. Hey Apple what the F happened to your QA and user acceptance testing?

How exactly do you change your Wifi from WEP ? Isn't that a bit ridiculous if I ever want to use Wifi somewhere where I don't have access to changing the type of Wifi??

My 5S is not working either. It keeps saying I must re-activate but it won't take my ID and PW. This was after it lost service (ATT) for the day yesterday. iPad still works on cellular and wireless running iOS 8. the upgrade to iOS 8.02 on the phone did not help. Ugh.

My iPhone 5 do have same problems even upgraded to iOS 8.0.2. It doesn't solve the wifi problem.. It occurs randomly even the wifi signal is strong...

lost connection in the middle of download or play online apps... It's annoying...

I have WIFI connection issues as well. Its extremely slow and keeps disconnecting!!! =(

iPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2

Apple we need help iOS 8.0.2 has not fixed our wifi connectivity issue, please advise. I have a iPhone 6 A1549 connecting to a Motorola SB5100 router with Comcast Internet service. Need a fix as im frustrated with everything I have done from a full factory reset to resetting router and network settings. The device connects for half an hour and then all I have is 1Mbps download speed if I'm lucky.

Same issue here on netgear r7000 router

I am using an iPhone 5 loaner as mine is in the shop. When they gave this to me, they had just upgraded it to IOS 8.02.

I came home and immediately couldn't log onto my home network because it won't accept the correct password. The word "JOIN" become blue in both places but I still get the incorrect password message. The other three iPhones in the house (none of which have IOS 8) connect immediately. I even tried changing the password, but that didn't work either. Got the same reaction with the word Join becoming blue.

My router has WPA2. I have unplugged/plugged in several times, I have reset my phone several times including resetting the network settings. I rebooted my computer a couple of times just to be sure.

I'll flip out if my repaired phone comes back w/IOS 8 on it if this is how it goes.

Judging from the postings, the problem seems to be spotty with the new iPh6, so is updating an iPh5 to IOS 8.02 more problematic?
I'm am beyond freaking out.

I am so ******, was so happy to finally see 8.0.2 - and I updated my iPhone 5S only to find out the WiFi bug still persists.

Static IP vs DHCP > does nothing

Disabling WiFi in location services > does nothing

Disabling location services entirely > does nothing

I've supported Apple and gotten every single iPhone device since the 3G. iOS 8 is the biggest flop ever and its making me want to change from iPhone to Android.
