iOS 9 wifi connectivity problems

I''m new to this. I have an IPad Air that once was working great, also have a first generation IPad that pretty much became obsolete, thus moved to the IPad Air.

OKay, my problem...I installed IOS9 and now when I try to go to the App Store, it says "cannot connect to the App Store." I am able to still access the ITunes Store (This part is good, Glory Be!). Not having the App Store any longer is not good.

The second problem I have: Before when I surfed using Safari, loading pages were pretty fast. I was a happy camper surfer. But now after installing IOS9, it takes approximately 15 seconds to load a website page, sometimes longer, usually I give up. I have taken up swearing and grinding my teeth. It's unbecoming. To try to alleviate this problem, I have hard booted my IPad numerous times, many times a day with hope, but this does nothing. I read somewhere some beta tester had the same problem months ago but fixed it by going to their Settings, App Store and ITunes, logging out of their Apple ID and then relogging back in. I tried that also, but it did nothing.

This is very frustrating. I don't know how to fix this and I resent being put in the position of attempting to troubleshoot blindly at this because I haven't the slightest clue what is so different from my former Ipad Air setup that would cause these problems. The old IOS worked just fine. Please create a revision to this IOS 9 you sent us to fix these issues.

Thank you.

I was having very similar problems. I have an iPhone 6 and a mini iPad Model MD503B/A. I upgraded both to IOS9 on the same day using the same internet connection (WiFi). I use a VPN app on both devices (Same software - multi device license). After installation the iPhone 6 worked perfectly, no issues. IOS9 great....!

However, my mini iPad would not connect to the internet. It has a WiFi connection, but tells me no internet connection is available. However I know this is not so as my iPhone is picking up the same WiFi signal (either at work or at home) and the phone has an internet connection. So, IOS9 not good for the mini iPad...!

Reading through these posts I took the advice to uninstall my VPN app. on the mini iPad. I uninstalled because just switching the App off was not making any difference.

This worked for me. The device immediately went online and I had fifty plus APPs that wanted to update. I am not technically knowledgeable to understand why the mini iPad was having trouble connecting to the internet over WiFi with a VPN installed yet the iPhone 6 had no problems at all. However, my iPad is working fine now.

So the problems being experienced on their devices after installing IOS9 could be associated with a VPN app if you have one installed. Hope this helps.

This was very helpful and solved my problem. Thanks.

I had in fact a VPN (tunnelbear) running. After logging out of tunnelbear, the wifi connectivity returned immediately and completely without changing any settings.

Prior to that, my iPad connected to the router but I got no connectivity. All the various resets of network connections, rebooting of the iPad, etc, did not help. It is quite strange that this problem appeared suddenly. My iPad was running fine during the first week after the update to iOS 9 with the VPN switched on.

is a VPN app installed automatically? I don't see that and do not remember ever downloading one...

The new version you released today IOS9.0.1 seems to have corrected this. I now have access to the App Store and Safari is loading faster. Thank you for your prompt correction of these issues.

My wife is in the same boat...upgrade her iPad Air to iOS 9.0.1, cannot connect to our WPA2 home network no matter how she tries even though it shows in the list of networks.

What the flip Apple?!?!!?! Not going to even update my iPhone or iPad mini until this is fixed.

I'm having similar problem, updated to iOS 9 yesterday and now I can connect to wifi but to no use. Nothing that requires net will open.

Delete VPN worked for me. Thanks

I'm seeing the same problem with my iPhone 6 and iOS 9.0/9.0.1. Note that I'm not using any VPN Apps/Profile. I have a Linksys WRT1900AC router with WPA2 Personal configured and my iPhone will not connect to the Wi-Fi. The scenario is as follows:

1. If SSID = Hidden (not broadcasted), MAC Address Filter turned ON --> Wi-Fi on iPhone 6 will not connect
2. If SSID = Visible, MAC Address Filter turned ON --> Wi-Fi on iPhone 6 will connect OK
3. If SSID = Hidden (not broadcasted), MAC Address Filter turned OFF --> Wi-Fi on iPhone 6 will connect OK

Strangely, my all other devices in the house connect just fine, even with an old iPhone 4 running iOS 7.x. For now I've downgraded my iPhone 6 to 8.4.1, since this issue does not occur in the previous versions. Definitely an iOS bug that Apple need to fix.

I dont use a sim card, only wifi connections and i still have to toggle wifi sometimes to get it work again. The sign is just spinning/blinking and nothing happens until i toggle the wifi setting on/off. It started on some point during ios8.x update and it is still there in ios 9.0.1. Im not sure, but it seems to be allitle better thought, and i dont need to toggle the setting all the the time as i was forced to do it in ios 8.4... Maybe couple times a day nowadays, but the bug is still there.

When air2 came on last year and i bought it for xmas, i didnt have any problem with wifi. People were complaining about it, and apple fixed something, but unfortunately they also broke something because since then i have had problems with wifi. (Spinning, blinking)

thank you Jacob for raising this issue, I have the exact same problem and needed a solution quickly. this is the first time I seriously regret upgrading my iOS.

I noticed that since upgrading to iOS 9 that my internet connectivity on my iPad went from great to horrible. Safari would begin to load a page and then stall. Stopping the load and refreshing the load would sometimes help, but not always. Turning the iPad off and on would help for a few minutes, but help, again, for a couple minutes. The problem got worse after the download on 9/25/2015. So I cleared the cache; no improvement. Getting closer to router, no improvement unless I was right on top of it, and our router is a powerful one. Then a neighbor told me to make sure the Bluetooth was off. Evidently the update turns on the Bluetooth, and that causes a conflict issue. Sure enough, turned it off and Safari worked fine. Turned on the Bluetooth, and then turned on my iPhone with the Bluetooth on and left it in the other room, and the problem started up again, even though I was within five feet of my router. That also explains why my phone battery is almost always dead.

For me, my TunnelBear VPN was at fault. Tunnel Bear posted this fix, which fixed the problem for me:

Some iPhone users having issue after upgrading to iOS9, fix by opening TunnelBear App > Tap 3 lines in top left > “Reinstall Profile” rawwr!
