iPAD air/iOS 8.2
so annoying - after upgrading to iOS 8.2 wifi has gone crazy. Immediately after it began turning on/off every 10 seconds. tried the usual suggestions - rebooting iPAD and so on - with no effect
Then tried to 'forget network' and then reestablish the connection - but now it won't accept wifi-password (and yes - it's typed correctly...!)
What to do - any suggestions?
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 8.2
I am also having this issue. I've done the suggested tip. i have checked my Wi-Fi password on the network. I've reset my router and modem. still no luck. Tried Wi-Fi hot spot from my phone still no luck.
I'm having the same issues with my ihone 5s and ipad 4. one minute I'm connected, the next I'm not. I have to always turn my data on in case I might miss something but it is battery consuming. In the middle of browsing or playing a game, my ipad gets disconnected too. I hope they fix this soon because this is getting irritating.
No.. I have not. Ive tried everything I can I've found online. I can connect to my phones 4g hot spot but that is it. Its got to be something in the security that changed and my router isn't talking to it but I have a useless iPad and I'm not happy. Can't use my phone all the time. I'm supposed to save data by using WiFi at home not that's my only access point. I'm disappointed nobody from apple has offered any help. Heck of a paper weight I have.
Hi all, I also had connection problems after IOS 8.2 update on my iPad Air 2 connecting to 2.4 and 5GHZ Wifi home router. Tried several solutions but only 1 worked for me:
Disable 802.11e/WMM QoS setting in your Wifi router/modem and no problems so far
I have a new DrayTek Vigor 2860ac router which my iPad Mini Retina running IOS 8.3 could not log on to using the 5Ghz SSID (although the 2.4Ghz SSID was fine). I would enter the password correctly and the iPad would say it was not correct.
As suggested by 2john6, disabling WMM allowed the iPad to connect instantly. You can find this under Wireless LAN (5Ghz) / WMM Configuration in the 2860. Worryingly for Apple, all other devices I tried could connect the to network with WMM enabled. Or maybe it's a "commercial" move to encourage people to purchase their Airport routers!
The 2860ac is superb, by the way, for anyone looking for a combined VDSL/ADSL modem router and wireles access point of genuine quality. The beam-forming function seems to work very well and can be seen in action with some simple tests.
Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
I have the same problem. I've tried resetting network settings and rebooting. Still no wifi.
This helped me to solve Iphone issue. thanks.

Try WiFi systems elsewhere, preferably at an Apple Store if convenient.
Yes just got one and was having the same problem - made even more frustrating because my iPhone 6+ connected OK.
