Since upgrading to iOS 8 (and now 8.0.2), both my 5S and my wife's 5C stop talking to wifi overnight. When I awake the next morning, I see that sometime overnight, e-mails, notification, etc. have stopped coming in. The wireless is on with full strength. To correct the problem, I just have to disconnect and connect again, then everything flows again properly. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8
Hello dcleab,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help resolve your issue.
- Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
- Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap
.
- If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
- If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
- If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
- If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
It may also help to forget the network as well as updating and restarting your router.
- Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
- Tap
- Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.- Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
- Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
