iOS 9 wifi connectivity problems

Why can't Apple fix this issue‽ ‽ ‽ I have had this issue since first upgrading my IPad 2 to iOS 9. I now have iOS 9.3.5 and my wifi problem is worse than ever. If I'm playing a game on a web page the page will reset every 45 seconds. It's infuriating. I've tried resetting my network settings but that only offered temporary relief. Within an hour the problem returned. Resetting the network settings is a terrible answer since it causes me to lose access to every network where I connect to the wifi. I was thinking about upgrading to the iPad Pro but I'm reading that those devices are also having this problem. Someone please explain why the Apple programmers can't fix this issue? And why the **** people still hold Apple up as some great tech company. This is ridiculous!

I have pretty much experienced the same problem. The first day after installing I had unstable connectivity on both wifi and 4G. The second day there is NO connection at all neither with 4G nor wifi

Iphone 6plus, IOS 9, 128 GB Silver gray (the second the first stop working after 6 month)

Same, here,

I've noticed that since the upgrade to IOS9 my my iPad (air 2) has a preference for 2.4GHz networks, even on a TimeCapsule. When I forced it to 5GHz it did make things better, but not as fast as it used to be..

Me too. I upgraded to ios 9 on both my ipad and iphone 6. Now I cannot connect to the internet on my ipad. I am writing this on my iphone. The ipad worked for a few hours, but has given up the ghost now.

I Have a simaler wifi problem on iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad mini retina , iPad 3, all have very unstable wifi connection on 2,4 or 5 Ghz band of Asue router ASUS RT-AC87U with iOS 8 no problem at all, stable and fast connection. Also it looks like 4g is also not that stable on my iPhone 6. Please Apple solve this asap. Thx

I have realized after I did my update that my wife who works in a major insurance company in Denmark was advised through her company not to upgrade due to serious problems with IOS 9. And going through the IOS History this is not a first timer that there is serious problems with the first realese of a new IOS version.

I must say I am very disappointed. Apple hos one of richest companies in the world why don't you do your home work you should be capable of make a release that works first time. This version seems to me to be more like a beta version. I am looking so much forward to 9.01 release this coming week !!??

I am having the same issue an majorly disappointed, I was looking at buying a new phone and tablet this week, had no reason to think they both would not be the new apples, but with this kind of customer support, maybe start looking at androids and just checking at all options instead of just my usual standard of just getting the new apples.

I spent about two hours chatting to Apple Support yesterday (20.09.15). As you would hope from the name, they were supportive. On their instruction, I had to fiddle about with a proxy setting, then had to do a restore. Unfortunately, the restore was based on a May update I had in iCloud. Consequently, I had to retrieve some missing apps that I had bought since May. However, there was no cost to me as the App store 'remembered' I had paid for them.

A thoughtful and lucid explanation. I have a similar problem, my wife's iPad Air 2 upgraded and connects perfectly to the wifi networks that we use. My iPad 2 upgraded fine, except for being unable to connect to any web site on either wifi network. I (foolishly) deleted Chrome to make room for the upgrade on the iPad 2 so I cannot connect to the internet now with the iPad 2. I have reset network settings and Safari cookies and history, having done countless resets on the iPad itself. Very disappointed, if the upgrade is advertised to be available and suitable for the iPad 2 it should work.

I have this same issue with IPad Mini 2. We upgraded IPhone 6+ IPhone 5 and IPad Mini. we have two networks in our house. Both phones connect perfectly to either network but the iPad whilst showing the Wifi icon plus the blue checkmark saying it is connected, simply does not work. We cannot access the internet.

OK folks, mea culpa, or at least I think that I've solved my problem and hope to help you as well. I discovered that my VPN was having a problem with the iOS9 upgrade. When I went to their site, they said that uninstalling and re-installing their program would solve the problem. I did so, and now have a working iPad2 that connects to the wifi network and is protected by the re-installed VPN!

Hope this helps!

Hi Jacob, check my posting at the end of the thread, I think that it may help, at least worth a check. Regards,

Thanks Micko.

My VPN is no longer active and it has nearly made connectivity normal.

But what happen I do not know. Suddenly after a couple of resetting the VPN activation bottom has disappeared all my apps works but some of them crashes after a few minutes but most of them work

My iPhone 6 and iPad Mini Retina are both having issues as well. My wifi (WPA2-PSK [AES]) has worked fine for my apple devices, until the last few days. If I turn it off, my LTE is lightning fast, but as soon as I hook back up to my wifi network, I time out on everything I try. Extremely frustrating.

I have reset my network settings, power cycled (home and side button simultaneously until apple logo appears), reset my modem and my router all to no avail. It's maddening . . . I use the internet for everything. Hopefully a fix comes soon.
