IOS 8.0.2 wifi issues

Hi, I have issues with my new iPhone 6 on IOS 8.0.2


Sometimes I lose wifi connectivity and disable / enable the wifi on Settings is not enough... only chance is to reboot the phone.

I have an iPhone 5s and my Wi-Fi has been messed up since the last two updates. My connection speed moves really slow, and most of the time it doesn't work. I have to disconnect from the network and reconnect to it just for it to work again, and that only lasts for a short while, then it returns to being super slow or not wot working. They really messed up with the update to 8. The "fix" to 8.0.1 didn't solve anything for me.


Anyone know if they are working on an update to fix the latest fix?

I agree completely. Appie has always been only a mediocre performer in this area. Even though I'm fine at home, there are now networks which I can no longer access outside and I'm most aggrevated. What's inexcusable is this same issue existed with the upgrade to 7. Go back to Jan 2014 discussions and you'll see this same exact issue. Pretty sad excuse for a company if you ask me.

Updated my iPad Air to 8.0.2 and now its slow over wifi, connection drops consistently... Never had any issue before and now the update has just rendered my iPAD useless...


I wonder APPLE had so high quality standards and what has happened to them... It seems software updates were just released in haste, without proper testing, quality assurance... Fixing one minor bug is resulting in blocker/critical bugs... Just think how can someone pass this software update with this blocker bug ???


Really missing Steve Jobs... And I'm sorry as I will be moving out of Apple ecosystem henceforth !!!

I am such an idiot to leave my HTC one M8. The phone was perfect. Just wanted something smaller and got the 5s.

APPLE WITHOUT JOBS IS WORSE THAN ANDROID ON ITS FIRST STEPS!!!!!!!!


WE WANT OUR MONEY'S WORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not to mention, the most expensive devices when free of contracts.


Same problems with brand new 5s. Wi-Fi just does whatever it wants.

Selling it and going back to android.

Cant do my day's work with this terrible os 8

Who would have thought that I would go to android for stability!!!!!!

APPLE, SORRY TO SAY, YOU DIED WITH STEVE!!!!!

Hi, I'm having the same issue on iphone 5. Frequent drops from my home wifi network and very very slow internet connection. Can't even open Clash of clans. I tried other mobile devices and wifi connection is working perfectly fine. Anyone tried to do factory reset? I'm a bit hesitant as I will be losing all my files. This update was crap and it made my phone useless. Apple needs to get a fix soon.
