ios 8.2 wifi dropping

I'm on a 5s having the same issues, mine stays connected but while watching a video, it just continues to load and buffer

We have two iPhone 5, an iPad mini and an iPad Air 2 in the household and each has had this exact problem intermittently since installing iOS 8.2. I just flushed our router again (Cox Cable) and although this hadn't resolved the problem earlier in the week, all our devices seem to be holding the wifi signal, at least for now.

I have an iPhone 6 with 8.2 and since the update i also have trouble with wifi. It is extremely slow, everything buffers, and i can not connect to new wifi networks, it just says unable to connect. Im connected to my house and its very slow now although internet speed tests say my internet is pretty good at the moment. At school i can't join their network. I know my username and password is correct but i think this new update screwed up the wifi. Is it possible that iOS 8.3 will be able to fix this issue? Is there anyway to fix this issue?

I've been watching these forums waiting for the WIfried bug to be fixed before moving in from iOS 7 on both my iPhone 5S and my retina iPad. If they don't get it together soon, my next devices will either be Windows or Android. This is ridiculous to let a bug this big go on for so long.

Trying following these steps. This fixed my issue with my wifi dropping off or acting weird.

Settings>Privacy>Locations Services>System Services> Then turn off wifi networking. That fixed my issue.

Well for me it turns out it was wifi interference so the channel was changed to a different frequency and now it seems to be working fine

Yeah that would cause that.

If you have a cordless phone, depending on what frequency it is on it could cause a lot of issues. Like if its on the 2.4 band it will mess with a lot of stuff.

Thank you Knell !

Thats seems to have instantly solved my Wifi issue since iOS 8.2 on iPhone 6 a few days ago (unable to connect existint or new Wifi networks, iOS 8.2 constantly replying password entered is wrong...)

Many thanks !

I would never have thougt to get deep into theses settings to turn off wifi location in privacy, and I was very unhappy with the idea to restore and make a new install.

I'm glad you got it working Bigoud_71.

I also hate restoring my phone to new. Its always a pain in the butt. 🙂

try unplugging your modem and router for 5 minutes and then plugging back in then test again.

Contact Apple Phone support and let them know - there is definitely a problem with the Wifi dropping after the 8.2 update. I have 3 different Wifi signals and 6 different iOS devices. The ONLY one having the wifi issue is the 8.2 iOS!!! I was told Apple support doesn't have any record of there being a Wifi issue with 8.2iOS AND that the technician I spoke to had not ever talked to a person having wifi issues with iOS8.2......really?!? Well IF you are having a problem, call them and let them know. Because there are definitely wifi issues with 8.2. Dropping, not allowing connections, etc

I have the same problem with my iPad Air 2. Just updated it to IOS 8.2 a few weeks ago and the wifi keeps disconnecting. Whenever I type the password it keeps asking for the password over and over. This is so annoying. I'm so glad I never updated my other devices with IOS 8. Apple should fix this soon or I might just go back to my old android.
