iOS 11.4 WiFi Problems

iOS 11.4 on iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. WiFi drops on iPad and then does not reconnect until numerous attempts, turning WiFi on/off, connecting to different network, or powering iPad on/off. Phone has no problem nor do my many Windows computers nor do my SmartTVs. It’s not my router or signal strength. Is this an iPad Pro chipset problem? Also, I have WiFi Networking turned off under Privacy setting for both phone and iPad

Go to settings and open your wifi. Select your wifi by touching the wifi name. Click on Forget This Network. Touch Forget this Network (in red to confirm). Then open up WIFI to rediscover your network and re-enter your password for your network.

This fixed my WIFI issues on iphone 6 plus and iphone 8 running ios 11.4 so far.😉

A couple weeks ago I upgraded from my 4-year-old iPhone 5C (which worked fine but was too old to get updates anymore) to an iPhone 7. Yesterday I realized my new phone was randomly disconnecting from my home wifi and work wifi (auto-join is on for both and connection/router isn't an issue). When I try to manually reconnect, I get an error message saying the password is incorrect, even when I enter it correctly. While I can fix the issue by restarting my phone or going to General-Reset-Reset Network Settings, I don't want to do this all the time, especially since I have a small data plan. This is making me miss my trusty old 5C!

Great, and Apple just stopped signing 11.3.1 code, so there is NOOOO!!!! downgrading. Yes, thanks alot you F***, that a very expensive paperweight sitting on my desk!!! Are we really suppose to wait until IOS 12 is released, with no certainty that the issue is fixed. Just sign 11.3.1 or 11.3 again, or that poor soul at the Apple store is in for a treat 🙂

I hope people are reporting this, not just omplaining to each other. This problem is MAJOR. Geniuses at the Genius Bar can’t handle it. After having them set my iPad back to completely new, with 11.4, it wouldn’t sign on to their system either.



there have been SO MANY things wrong with their OS lately.... and from what so can find out, IOS 12b is also completely screwed up.

I have this same issue since updating to 11.4 on my X. Every time the phone goes to the screen saver, it loses my home wifi network and keeps asking for the password, unless I go in through Preferences>Wifi to reacquire it. Irritating to say the least.


I cannot believe apple has become so inept with their software. Siri, can you fix this? Haha...that was a snide joke.
