ios 8.3 wifi problems with wifi??

What is film ware?

A question a sarcastic "expert" asks to make fun of a user rather than helping with the problem.

So you don't know either

Hopefully, with IOS9 forecast to be released in September, this thread will draw to a merciful close.

Apple can use the release of 9 to put to bed the wifi issues that plagued IOS8, without them losing too much face.

Quinzico's solution works great for me as well (ios8 on iPhone 5s) with few differences.

First one is that I reset Network Settings instead of All.

However, I have been struggling for a while until I found that after the reset and before the reboot switching off wi-fi is required!

Somehow, it is automatically turned on after Resetting Network Settings even though it is switched off before the reset.

So, the updated solution is:

1st - Turn off Wifi

2nd - goto Settings->General->reset->reset network settings

3rd - Turn off wi-fi (if it is turned on after reset)

4th - After the reset and reboot, turn on the wifi.

Thanks Quinzico

But I learned it from you, and thanks for another demonstration of you not addressing the problem, you're really good at that.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think it's "firmware."

2 iPhone 5's, updating IOS 8.3 immediately hosed the wifi connection. Won't accept the password often times. Only works within about 20 feet of the router. iPads runnin IOS 8.3 both work fine. It's a small sample size, but pretty confident there's some problem in IOS 8.3 that's causing the iPhone 5's to not have reliable wifi connection - again, unless within about 20 feet of the router.

And yes, I've tried pretty much all the various alleged fixes, and none have made any difference. It's bad software, and they should fix it. I have 2 phone upgrades next month, and frankly considering jumping off the Apple ship to one of the other devices. Can't imagine getting in to another 2 years with a device that can't access wifi.

Is there a question there?

Not for you.

Thanks for that.

I have the same problem here... ios 8.4 on my new iphone 6 plus, it doesn't change my wifi problem..apple need to check on this matter ASAP!

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.4

i'm also have a same issue plz give any solution

I'm so sick & tired of this wifi disconnection problem that I regret buying iPhone 6 plus. I tried every trick I read in various blogs without any success whatsoever. I turn on / off wifi not less than half a dozen times a day when I'm at home. I'm hoping against hope that ios9 has a fix which works !

I first tried to reboot my modem, but that did not solve the problem. Then I tried everything on these boards except for a reinstall. Then I tried rebooting the modem and the router at the same time. I pulled the chord on both, turned on the modem and then the router after the modem seemed completely back on. Then I reset the Wifi Network Settings (again). >Settings >General >Reset > Reset Network Settings.

It now works, but ominously, the first 2 day dump of e-mails did not finish. Wifi connection lost. I clicked on the inbox again and it completed. More to be seen.

hey guys!! my phone did the same things after downloading the ios update, and i think i fixed it! at least for my phone...i went on settings>general>reset, and then clicked "reset all settings." this caused it to reset all of my settings on my phone including my home background, autocheck, and other things that i had motified but it does not delete any of the data that you have on your phone! after i clicked that, my phone shut off for a few seconds, then came back on. then, when i put in the password after it had restarted, it accepted it!!!! im really glad this happened to me, and i hope this helps anyone else!

Thanks for sharing what worked for you yuuhyakuta. These various wi-fi problems have plagued every iOS 8 update, and it's still happening under 8.4.1 !! I say various because some people report loss of connection and other people can't connect at all. I am still having a long-standing difficulty, as follows: At home, I'm connected to my Verizon router's wi-fi, and everything's fine. I take my phone with me on errands, and when I get back home, SOMETIMES my phone does not automatically reconnect to router's wi-fi. It sees the network, but demands my password, which it then tells me is WRONG, but it's not, because my Mac and my old iPad can connect anytime with the password I give. I was overjoyed, like you, some weeks ago when I found a fix in this thread that worked for me. (It had proved absolutely pointless to take my phone to the Apple Store's genius bar, because, there, everything seemed to work fine.)

But alas, the problem came back, and this time what had worked before no longer worked. My overall experience is that there are MANY settings you can change, resets you can do, power off and ons, router settings, restores and rebuilds and updates, but there does not appear to be one single reliable fix for this condition. Whenever this has come up for me, I know I'm in for some frustrating (hours) time trying different fixes before, suddenly the password is accepted and the wi-fi works again. Unless black magic is causing these problems, it is Apple software bugs that are necessitating all these resets. I have never in years of working with Apple products seen a problem this severe, directly affecting the core capability of a device, that has persisted for so long unsolved. I guess my point to you is that I'm glad you solved your immediate difficulty, but you may be in for more disappointment.
