i have the same problem on my iPhone 5C

after resetting network it goes fine for just about lets say 10 minutes, after that it all went slow & sometimes disconnect

really regret upgrading to iOS 8, all went fine on iOS 7, this is very dissapointing.

Hi Guys,

I had the same problems after upgrading to 8.1. First slow wifi, then after network settings reset My devices (Iphone 6 and Ipad Air) wouldn't even connect to wifi... The Iphone did connect after a while, but it was very very slow. The Ipad could only connect if I entered manually the IP, gateway, etc. but this was no solution, because the wifi was still slow and unstable. So I was very angy and upset...

After it I reseted the network settings again, turned off the wifi on both devices, rebooted them and also rebooted my router. After this everything worked for me as they should, Iphone and Ipad had good wifi connections and were fast as they should be.

I think the key was for me the router reboot. So maybe it is worth a try to reboot Your routers also.

Best luck,

G

I Am experiencing similar problems with connect and drop problems with my wifi like I had with 802. First upgrading to 8.1 was fine but after a day the issues are the same. However, this only happens at my home network but i don't experience it at work. At work I have a 30/30 M line but at home I have a .8/8 M up/down line. At home my wifi on my iPad Air gets disconnected when try to stream some videos on my NBA app.

APple needs to fix this issue.

WIfi has been dropping all the time everyday on my iPad Air Since iOS 8, astonishing that it STILL hasn't been fixed. 😠

It just dropped posting this reply...

My iPad2 is running straight fast and normal after 3 hard boots and Reset, Reset All Settings.

Go to the website for the make of your Router check for a firmware update I did and wifi speed went up getting 22 mobs now Bsydd uk

wifi with 8.1 is still unstable. Wifi connection gets dropped when I stream videos, like an NBA video on the NBA app. This is true for my iPad Air & iPhone 5 with 8.1. However, this phenomena only occurs at home. With my wifi network at work I have none of these wifi connection problems. My assumption is that at work I have a 30/30M up/down line but at home I have a .8/8 M line. This is really puzzling.

I Just discovered another issue besides wifi connection dropping when streaming videos, I'd just took a picture of a note from my Evernote program. Right after I took the picture and try to save the note with picture, the wifi connection drops.

Seriously, if the new iOS 8 not ready, don't just release, this is a ****** released a crappy iso 8 with 3 continuous failure updates. Does Apple understand this crappy iOS 8 with many things issued, like wifi, Safari frozen could cost people losing money and wasting their time.

I have same issue. iPhone is working at 10 mbps, Macbook Pro at 35 mbps, iPad <1 mbps. Apple needs to at least acknowledge the issue and get a fix moving ASAP.

I Am using an iPad mini 2, iOS 8.1, and I'm experiencing same problem with Wi-Fi, with frequent drops...

I am having the exact same issue with a new IPOD Touch 5th generation: Wifi connectivity has dropped dramatically after moving from ios 8.02 to 8.1. Very frustrating.
