ios 8.1.1 wifi problems

Hello, my iphone 5 is seeing the networks, but, not connecting, with this current update of 8.1.1. I have attempted to reset the network setting, reset phone, put into airplane mode and back on wifi, reset router. None are working. I did not have a issue with wifi connecting until I updating to 8.1.1. Any other suggestions?

Madeye1977,

That is it, AWDD mean Apple Wireless Diagnostic Data, I couldn't remember earlier off the top of my head. Those files will contain the information for fixing the issue and whether it is hardware or software related. You are welcome to post them here, you might want to review them first as some of these logs may contain personal information such as a Device Name, MAC Address, etc.

sharonfromla veta,

If you are seeing the networks and failing to associate it is likely some form of communication/IP addressing issue. Does the network you want to connect to use any form of encryption key such as WEP/WPA2?

I have the same exact problem. I updated my phone last night after I connected to my wifi because it said it had a new update. I have never had any previous problems with Apple's ios. This update has messed everything up. My phone appears to be normal, but it WILL NOT connect to my wifi any longer. It is not my router because I am connected to the wifi on both my laptop and my Kindle right now.

I reset my network settings. I even attempted to restore my phone. The only thing that has happened is that now my data won't work at all. I can call, I can text, but I can't use my data or the wifi. This is driving me insane. I might have to find a new phone for Christmas. One that actually works, you know? 😐

Resetting the network settings and the power cycling the router doesn't and will not work. If it is a problem with encryption or addressing, it's a problem with the update itself and not the router. If you would like working wifi, downgrade to 8.1 and wait until Apple fixes 8.1.1 or simply releases a superseding update. Have fun...

Can I assume you are on an iPhone 6?

Sigh. I am having this problem too. I didn't have any problem with my iPhone 6 Wi-Fi, until this new update. Installed it last night and Wi-Fi has not worked since. Totally freezes up my phone. Also battery life is useless. Come on, Apple.

I purchased iphone 6 and intermediately updated 8.1.1, since then i been having WIFI issue, it appears to stop working (connecting) after few days, the only way to fix this (temporary) is to hard reboot device. Another thing, while device is sleep, WIFI is not on.

Apple, please fix this.

DaNiBoy12,

The wireless interface powering down while the screen is asleep is actually intentional. When the screen goes to sleep the device will place wireless into a suspended state to conserve your batter. If this is causing issues because you are attempting to consume data then you may need to temporarily disable your 3G/LTE interface in the cellular settings, if wifi is the only interface active then the data will be forced to use it and it will not go to sleep.

My wifi is down too on an iPhone 6 and Apple Time capsule after update to 8.1.1.

Frustrating.

Same deal with our ATT Iphone 6 on 8.1.1 along with our ipad air2. After issues, I also updated the firmware for our TP Link router. Iphone 4, 4s, 5s, are not having problems, just the 6 and air running the new IOS. Iphone 5S is also on the 8.1.1 and seems fine. Comes and Goes, Connects and Disconnects randomly, and typically I can see the network in the settings, and it's "trying to connect- spinning". Beyond Frustrating!

I have same issue with my iPhone 5S, unfortunately my wifi continuously disappear and after some time it comes. I think latest version of IOS ( 8.1.1) Got problem, cause i didn't have this issue before updating. and if it is hardware problem it shouldn't work at all... I wish apple will fix this Problem Sooon.

I think I can now confirm this issue, and I believe it is much more widespread than reports may indicate: I see issues on both my iPhone 6+, and an older model iPad. In both cases I can see my WiFi indicator coming off (in the case of the iPad which does not have a cellular modem), or either dropping to just a dot, or switching to indicate LTE. Those drops/switches happen randomly and very quickly, and the indicator comes back on immediately. I really need to be watching the indicator in order to make sure I don't miss it. Frequency is roughly once every ten seconds to maybe once every 30 seconds. Since you really need to watch for the drop-outs, my guess is many people may have this problem but have never noticed it. In my case, so far, it seems to be mostly cosmetic: I do not really seem to lose connectivity permanently, and I don't notice increased battery drain. However, this afternoon my iPhone 6 lost internet connectivity entirely, both WiFi and cellular, and I had to do a hard reboot to get the internet back to working.

Bottom line: There is an issue with 8.1.1 and WiFi, and this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Heck, even Google can make a smartphone OS that can connect to the internet reliably... 😉

Hi.

Since last update 8.1.1, at my Iphone 5s, the wifi connectivity fall from time to time, and it is difficult to connect to the rooter. I have to be with the rooter for him to reconnect

Since friday 29-11-2014, I lost the connection to my phone operate.... always "searching"....

The battery lasts 6 hours...

I bought my first iPhone 5s in November 2012 and I'm coming in 5 problem and switching 5 times to fault .... this time will be the last because I will require the apple another model or money back ....

Best regards.

Paul.
