I have the same issue. Wifi keeps on dropping especially while streaming videos. This is really annoying and the troubleshooting steps you provide is not helping. I am not sure if this is a bug from the recent iOS update or some kind of hardware issue that this needs to be checked/verified by Apple Tech support.

I keep on calling Apple Help Desk for this issue but the line was busy.

FYI - its not with the router coz mine, its just besides me.

Unfortunately, Apple customer service, Apple Tech and Apple's Geniuses are all going to have to be renamed after recent battery issues with the 6 & 7s and connection problems with the 8s.

I suggest "Apple, Yeah right", "Apple Trump" (it's your fault) and the Idunnos. I still have my original 128K Mac (still working!) 2 Grapes, 3 iPods, 3 iPads, 4 iMacs a notebook, every iteration of iPhone from #1 to 7, but after recent LONG LONG discussions with customer 'service', Tech and the so-called Genuises--plus my s-i-l buying a new iPhone 8 five weeks only to have it replaced by TWO refurbs (her fault because of her house, even though her i-4 always worked), my wife and I have decided to buy new Galaxy 8s.

Apple knows they're having issues but refuses to acknowledge there are problems with wifi connectivity. $100 billion in cash and record profits, and this is our reward?

I had problem with the WiFi and in general loading issues! I had the loading or the spinning wheel all the time next to the WiFi symbol and I tried all the methods here and they didn’t work!

If you see that spinning wheel, I ask that you look at this website

For me doing steps 1,2 and 3 fixed it, at least as of now! I also flushed the RAM memory out!

I have received my 3rd iPhone 8 replacement and problem with WIFI still persist. This time I give up because each time I change the phone it's a big hassle. The people from Apple have no clue what's wrong, they told me that my back up has issues, maybe it's solved when I don't use my back up anymore. That is a ****** solution.


So, I have to live with this problem and hope with the new update it will be fixed or not. Great Apple, paying a ton of money and your product doesn't work properly. Thank you Apple.
