I have installed ios 8.1.1 on my iphone 6.
The iphone still looses wifi connectivity from time to time. If I enable and disable flight mode wifi is working again.
I already tried to reset the network settings as well as resetting the complete iphone. Nothing helped.
I've hoped ios 8.1.1 would solve this issue. But it doesn't. This is really annoying.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.1
Hi Turn off your Router for 30 Seconds. Also look on Website see if firmware update is available for your make of Router. Cheers Brian
Hi,
thank you for you fast reply.
I operated a iphone 5 with the exactly same router and never had wifi problems. The problems started when I bought the iphone 6.
So I don't think that this is a router problem.
Cheers

Hey Madeye1977,
Is the issue consistent across all wireless networks you are attached to or certain ones? Also when do you notice the issue? After the phone has been asleep, while in use, after a restart, etc.
Thanks,
J
Hi jburkholder,
the problem seems to occur when the iphone has been asleep for a while. It occurs every few days.
Until now I recognized the problem only in my home wifi network.
But I don't use other wifi networks very often. And if I do I'm only logged in for a short time. So I don't know if the problem would happen in other networks as well.
Regards
Thomas
When the issue occurs is the phone still seeing networks and not connecting or does the device not even show networks at all?
I'm no sure. I will have a look at it the next time the problem happens.
Regards
Thomas
Hi,
it has happen again. The iphone was laying around. When I unlocked it I immediately recognized that it wasn't connected to my home wifi network.
When I looked into the Wifi settings I saw my home wifi network. I didn't select it immediately but waited some time to see if it would connect automatically.
But it didn't. Instead with the next automatic refresh my home wifi network disappeared. I waited several minutes but it didn't reappear again.
Then in the same menu I used the slider to deactivate wifi. After deactivation I activated it again. My homenetwork didn't appear.
Then I turned on flight mode. After turning off flight mode my home network appeared and the iphone connected to it automatically.
Regards
Thomas
After IOS 8.1.1 upgrade "NO SERVICE" Iphone 5, and no network appears in general settings ( carrier is identified)
Me too
i bought 2 iphone 6 comes with ios 8.0.2... wifi dropping and switching to 3G continuously in any place even in my home, i try to updated to ios 8.1.1 with itunes but still having the same problem. i did everything i read about this like , updating my wireless firmware, resetting my iphone network settings, reset and delete all contents, restore to factory with i tunes, sometimes the wifi appears on the top but when i try to use internet it did not and switching to 3G and connect. sometimes asks me to put the wireless password many times to identify again. it goes crazy, i got 3 ipads(3,4,mini) with ios 8 and iphone 5 (ios 7) without any wifi problem on the sames wireless.
do u think its software or hardware?
Madeye1977,
This is interesting, I would expect the device to loose signal during sleep mode when the screen is locked, but when it drops like that in the middle of usage, that is weird. So what you are experiencing to me sounds like a software issue. You said that you reset the iPhone completely, do you mean software or hardware reset?
Hi jburkholder,
I did a factory reset in the general settings menu.
I did factory reset with itunes as restore without backup to make it goes to the original software. And i did it through the iphone direct by reset and erase all content without hope too. Weird thing right ???
II'm on my 3rd iphone 6 and the wifi drops constantly even after the latest update. I've given up. Time for a samsung
I just updated to 8.1.1 and could not get anything network related to work (safari, app store, etc) I did a soft reset (hold lock and home buttons until screen goes blank and device restarts) and it started working normally right away. Hope you get this resolved! I know how frustrating stuff like this can be.
Madeye1977,
After this I assume the issue immediately kicked in? If so this rules out third party coding causing an issue. It would also rule out a setting or other variable issue that could have been accidentally changed. I am beginning to think there is an hardware to software interface issue. Another thing to check is if there are any crash/diagnostic reports, Settings -> Privacy -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data. If it's something noticed by the OS as an error it should be reported here.

Varouqa,
This is very weird, and I am beginning to think it is hardware and software not playing nice together because on the iPhone 5 series 8.0 and above works. I surmise that they changed the interface card in these models, most likely to support 802.11 AC. Just a guess though since 5S does as well.

Photographer333,
Have you had any wireless networking issues since you did this reboot?
