ios 8.1 WIFI not working!

IiPad 3rd gen. iOS 8.1. Same wifi slow download speeds. Tried everything. Nothing worked. Turned Bluetooth off. Dowmload speeds now through the roof

my friends !!!!

i found the solution and really i cannot understand y apple all this dayes has not announced that

you have to go to your router settins and change the auto channel selection , to manual choosing between 1-10, i chose 4 !

NO 11-12-13!!!

THEN restart ....and thats all!

Sorry, didn't work for me. Still waiting for a solution.

Thanks, for trying.

Try upgrading to 8.1.1... it worked for me, but it apparently didn't work for everyone.

That IS with 8.1.1

I have an iPad2 and upgraded to 8.1.1 the other day. Wifi was fine...no issues. My son was watching netflix on the iPad yesterday with no issues. I get home, picked up the iPad to check some stuff and couldn't connect. I tried all the quick fixes like resetting wifi settlings, etc. Nothing is working. It detects the wifi networks (I have a couple) and tries to log in but thats it...the circle of death keeps going around and around and around. I don't get it. It worked and now it just doesn't. There is no reason why it just stopped working. So now I am downloading 8.1.1 again and will do factory reset of the iPad and see what happens.

But if anyone else has had this issue, I would appreciate some feedback or help. This is more than frustrating. I guess I could understand if it just stopped working right after the update but its been days since I updated. Thanks for reading.

EXACTLY!

You have pretty much nailed it-this is what it is.

No fix or even a intuitive fix for us.Many think we're "stupid" and missed something, but we are experienced users. We've tried everything, over and over... You would think that a company worth almost a TRILLION $, would want to exert some effort, and help some of their faithful losers so we could continue to spread the word.

They're willing to let some of us suffer because it's not enough to cause a stir.

I haven't used my iPad Mini in 6 weeks-ever since ios 8.0.2 f*ked up my WiFi. I have EIGHT devices, from various manufacturers, that haven;t missed a beat, EVEN with all the resets, etc.

VERY frustrating.

Hi, my iphone 4s wifi also not working after update ios 8.1 ..

can anyone help how to reset or solve this issue?😢

please try all of you to update to the last 8.1.1 and then try to change your channel from auto select to 4 generl not 11-12-13

and reset and try to connect

this must work for all

apple ...should have explained this special issue cause more n more people have problems

HI nikolas_1982, where do I change the channel? Thanks!

iOS 8.1.2 did not fix the problem for me.

Neither my iPhone 5S nor BRAND NEW(!) iPad mini 3 still won't connect to some wifi networks, most notably free wifi networks in hotel lobbies, bars or restaurants

I went to the Apple Store with my iPhone and iPad and I got the usual arrogant smirks and comments ("don't believe everything that is posted on the internet") and the "technician" went on to try all the 'solutions' posted here and on many other websites, none of them work of course because I've tried them all myself already. He also did a hardware test, but the hardware works fine, as both devices had no problem connecting to the Apple network in the store and some other networks. When iOS 8.1.2 came out I immediately updated, but the problem still exists. Could it be that certain routers are causing the problem and iOS 8 somehow can't deal with it? I have an Airport Extreme at home, and that also works fine, although I have not tried out my new iPad on that yet.

IMHO, the worst is not that there is a problem. People make mistakes and problems are there to be solved. The worst is that Apple continues to deny that problems exist in the first place and that most of those "technicians" treat people like complete idiots.

p.s. My colleague with an ancient iPhone 4 with 6.1.3 on it had no problems at all logging into all the networks where I was having trouble with, and was laughing his butt off. I certainly feel like a fool having spent >$500 on a a brand new iPad Mini 3 (64GB) and not being to reliably use it online.

Thank you Apple!

I ended up getting a new phone cause of multiple issues with the old. The new device came with ios 7.1.2. All is well now 🙂

changing channels on the router was never needed. Works like it should. Goodbye ios8 🙂

wish I could go back to last version of iOs 7. wifi works for 10 seconds at a time.

I've done all these step like a hundred time and still gray wi-fi. can do anything to fix..come on apple
