Why is Apple ignoring all the wifi problems and not saying anything to us. iOS 8.1is making my life **** and I want a roll back to 7.

Since iOS 8 wifi has been impossible. What's the point of an iPad with no wifi?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Do a restore to factory default usong iTunes. And be sure to do your backups first.

I have done a full back-up, reset and restore. I have checked my router and turned off all other devices. Wi-fi still drops out continuously. I'm sure that Apple is very proud of ios 8, but I cant use my expensive Ipad air for anything other than some kids games. I will never buy apple again. and the lack of acknowledgement from apple really stinks. head in the sand is arrogant and monoplist behaviour. Time they were broken up.

Out of curiosity, you said you've done it twice with no improvement.


Back-up first, of course. Did you set your iPad to its factory settings and try to use it before restoring your back-up? (Restore as new.) If you have any security software running on your machine, did you disable it before you began?

TIA, if you have the time to satisfy my curiosity.
