IT did a complete factory reset and checked and deemed it ok. I checked connectivity - it connected to wifi and my mobile hotspot ok. I restored my backup - it connected to all wifi ok, without re-asking for the passwords.
So a factory reset (perform a backup first) solved it for me.

Hi
It may help to follow the steps here:
Apple's recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points are detailed here:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
Same here for an iPad of the latest generation. And typing in the wifi password or pasting it in often results in the password-incorrect message (but I've verified it on other devices).
Rebooting and forgetting the wifi connections didn't help.
I got the same problem! The wifi keep dropping off. On off on off. I reboot my phone and reboot my router nothing happens. I have to keep turn on off the wifi manually. :(
I haven't solved it. But I found other symptoms.
When I switched on after leaving it 6 hours it connected ok. Then after a minute it disconnected, asked for the wifi password when I tried connecting again and refused saying the password was wrong. (it wasn't - cutnpaste).
So next I tried connecting my iPad to my iPhone's personal hotspot. My iPhone is on 10.1.1 (14B100), too.
That worked. I changed the password on my iphone's personal hotspot... the iPad connected without me entering the new password!
That freaked me out. Security problem? Dunno. In fact I noticed that the iPad switched on the iPhone's personal hotspot by itself - without knowing the password. That freaked me out even more 😮 I.e. the iPad detected the iPhone's mobile hotspot even though it was switched off and the iPad wasn't connected to wifi. Very worrying (to me)
Giving Apple the benefit of the doubt I logged my iPhone out of iCloud (never realized I was in in the first place). Now the iPad still shows the iPhone hotspot (even when it's off). But trying to connect gives me the message:
Remote Hotspot Failure
Unable to start personal hotspot "xxxx iPhone"
even when the hotspot is on.
All very crazy, and very worrying.
Same problem, but only on 5Ghz network. Try to connect to 2,4Ghz WiFi until Next update. Plz Apple fix this problem on iOS 10.1.1.
I have the same problem on my iphone on 10.1.1. Seems like apple can't make an update without bugs.
I can bare with your frustration of trying to get WiFi and it turns out you are experiencing a poor reception and this has occurred to some previous member I provided some support option and seems to have resolved their issue and would like to provide you the same support option. Check it out: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support and if issue persists then go to Settings|General>Reset>Reset Network. Good Day 😉
This is clearly something with the update. I tried all of the above and although I can technically connect to wifi, it's usually unbearably slow when other devices go quick as blazes. Bluetooth also drops frequently now. Are they planning an update? One seriously wonders what's going on with Apple these days.
So...any help on these wifi issues with 10..1.1? Did everything I've seen to fix it. Will Apple be pushing a new update to fix things? Getting tired of eating all my LTE data.
Progress...
I took my iPad to mobile IT support and they tried some diagnosis before confirming that iOS 10.1.1 appears to be incompatible with my iPad hardware. Since the iPad Pro is only 2 months old it's being sent to Apple for replacement.
The simplest way to verify the problem.
1. Disable wifi on my iPhone and iPad
2. Enable the mobile hotspot on my iPhone.
3. Try to connect the iPad to my iPhone´'s hotspot over wifi.
----> Always fails with the message "Incorrect password for ..." Changing the password to be very simple didn't help.
I'll update when the replacement arrives.
Agree. I also use a lot lte to cope with the connection problems. All my other devices like pc and also ipad (still on the ios 10 version before 10.1.) work just fine. Also my iphone worked just fine until i updated it to the new version. So it's clearly not a technical damage nor a poor signal. It's clearly a bug preventing the device's wifi receiver to work peoperly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to report bugs to apple? Or do they read these threads? Bc honestly i don't want to have this problem forever.
alanrick, so far so good. Thanks. I got more help from your answer than from Apple "Support".
I've found that it only has problem when I tried to connect to the home wifi. I connected to mobile hotspot it didn't have any problem. Also after a few days my wifi back to normal. Nothing to fix.
How do I fix the wifi problem on IOS 10.1.1?
