IOS 8.1.1 WiFi Problems after Update

Oh my gosh!! I have the same problem with iPhone 4S after updating to 8.1 and to 8.1.1 Wi-Fi interrupts, cannot connect, wrong Apple ID, wrong wi-fi password, cannot connect to Apple Store, iTunes account cannot be verified, etc., etc. I tried different wi-fi networks and different routers - same result! All my other devices with iOS7, and not Apple devices are working properly with wi-fi networks.How many more people need to complain before Apple do something? A little hope but did you use Apple complain form: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Write to Apple directly at:

Since this is a user forum, Apple doesn't seem to be monitoring it.

After giving them feedback it’s possible that you wouldn't get a response from Apple either, but at least they will have your feedback on the record.

I did not expect this to help, and so far it seems that I was wrong. I did it about 20 hours ago and so far so good.

Here's some things that I noticed in my troubleshooting, and I think they might explain why it's OK now:

• Restoring the iPad as a new device didn't fix it, but I connected to iCloud via LTE and I distinctly recall it reconfigured my wifi on its own, which I at the time thought was kind of cool, because it also restored wifi settings for places I frequent. Now I'm not so sure it was all that great.
• When I reset networking on the iPad it also deleted all the wifi points on my iPhone 5s. That means that stored networks are shared across the iCloud account.

So what I think that means is that something in the stored wireless configuration was broken for the iPad that the iPhone could cope with. Resetting wireless configuration does seem to be doing the trick for me, as it's been stable much longer than updating 8.1.2 did. I'll let it go a couple more days and will post back, probably on Saturday or Sunday.

I am also having this issue on my iPhone 5. I've already done all the trouble shooting steps short of factory resetting it ams cannot connect to wifi if I'm far from the router(same distance as I normally would have been before the update.)

I'm having exactly the same problem and I've had to switch off WiFi on my iPad Air & iPhone 5 as it has been affecting all other devices on the WiFi network. I'm hoping there is a fix to this pretty soon.

I think lots of people are still having this terrible problem (myself included with my iPad air 2, myother devices are worKing fast). Nothing is wrong in our own routers. Apple has to fix this bug quickly!

Yes, I have experiencing incorrect password despite the right password keyed in on my ipad. I have no problem with my other devices. The issue remains the same after updating my IOS to 8.1.1 this morning. Can Apple do something about this as it is quite frustrating not being able to connect to any wifi both at home and at work.

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.

My mini ipad connected to wifi until I installed 8.1.1. Today Apple Support told me that if none if their suggested fixes work (they have not and I spent hours today trying) then it must be a hardware problem. That is so unlikely! So frustrating.

I found a fix for my iPhone that kept saying "incorrect password" for wifi. It worked for me.

Go to.. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Phone will shut off and restart.

Make sure Wifi light is green on your modem. Enter your wifi password.

I too have a mini and it drops wifi all the time now. I should never have updated past 7, nothing but trouble since. I have it at home all the time on the same network and it works maybe half the time when before I could depend on it to at least deliver messages, now something that simple is impossible. Never again will I buy another Apple product.

Hi Turn your Router off for 30 Seconds when it's back on. Then on ipad Go to Settings Reset Network Settings. After Reset Enter your Router Wireless key. This may help. Sometimes this can be a Router problem The Router that you get from your I S P provider Sometime is only a basic one I got a top Range Netgear now And that is very stable. Also look on website for a Firmware upgrade for Your make of Router. Cheers Brian

I'm using this router for all my other devices like Apple TV,3GS and nexus pad..why this problem is there for 4S that to after upgrade..pls stop giving rubbish replies, instead insisI apple to correct the problem or allow us to downgrade to 7.1.2

I Have been having issues with Safari in general since updating version 8 - slow to load web pages; Outlook hotmail behaves as if it is incompatible closing down Safari upon sign in; and like you, telling me no internet connection. I wish I had never updated.

I have only had issues with my Wifi since the 8.1 update and 8.1.1 is no better for me. I have tried everything from restarting my router to removing everything off my ipad and reinstalling it. My partner on the other hand did not update and his Wifi is 100%. Its this update and needs to be fixed or apple will loose so many customers, especially with Christmas around the corner and tablet sales going on.
