Wifi not working with iOS 11.4

Do you think the next patch will fix it?

When will there be a next patch?

You seem to be incorrectly assuming the iOS version has something to do with this issue. Instead, since restoring your backup causes the issue to surface, yet using the iPhone set up as new causes it to go away, it sounds very much like you have some corrupt app or data.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

I would encourage everyone to do some additional testing on this similar to what I did below and file a bug report if you can.

I'm having the exact same issue. I tried both resetting the network settings and doing a full restore from backup (which is especially frustrating now that you can't reload apps from iTunes and need to use Wifi to reload the apps). Neither solution worked. You know what does work though, if I get my iPhone within a couple of feet of my access point I can connect. I only get full signal if I'm within one foot. This is clearly an issue with 11.4 and not an issue with corrupt data.

This didn’t work for me. My wife on 11.3.1doesnt have this issue. I’ve told her under no circumstances downgrade to 11.4 (it is a downgrade in performance) as your WiFi access and batter you will take a hit.

Apple needs to stop giving run around reset this and reset that and turn phone off and on Etc. Fact is plain and simple I updated my IPhone X and my IPad Pro to the new 11.4 and magically WiFi and Data stops working it chooses every once in awhile to work but for the most part you can’t do anything. Apple needs to fix the issue in software and stop trying to pass it on as something else.

This has happened to myself and my husband after the iOS11.4 update. I tried turning off our modem and unplugged it and still won’t stay comment. We are now out of our wireless data due to this and have not had that problem before. I hope appple corrects this problem soon.

Yes and now I received a message from AT&T my service provider that I am 100% through my Data and today is the 17th! Since WiFi doesn’t work from IOS 11.4 update its drained my Data plan to nothing. Thanks Apple

Same thing here. After upgrading to 11.4...wifi is a big issue. Can manually connect, however my phone looses it's connection after 1 minute. It also gives a lot of "wrong password" messages, connects, and wifi dies. Other devices not affected...Ipad running IOS 10, Huawai etc

I have a friend that had the this issue. What we did to fix this was we went into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. It will ask you to confirm to reset the network settings to factory default just ok that part. We restarted the phone, just for good measure, then joined the phone back to the wireless network and everything is working as it should.

Hopefully this helps

Hi Putyur,

Can you please suggest the steps to reproduce this wifi issue, I am using Iphone 6s and Ipad Air 2. That will be great if you can help me with this, as I am not seeing on my devices after upgrading, I would like to check the behavior.

Thanks,

SOLUTION FOUND!

Same problem appeared. Solution that I found is to use a new keyword. Example old keyword was Welkom01. New Keyword = Welkom01! So this means you need to use a better keyword with some special caracters.

I also have this issue with iPhone 8+ and iPad Pro 9.7 after updating to 11.4

On rare occasion when they do connect is is at 1-2 Mb per second. Previously was 20+ Mb second.

Can get within 2 feet of router and then and only then connects reliably at 40+ Mb second.

Have done hard reboot on both devices and also reset network settings. None have worked.

Am totally getting tired of this crap pushed out by Apple. Was one thing when happening on old hardware. Total nonsense on the latest equipment.

Same here iPhone7 plus. Had to stop using WiFi after upgrade and use LTE instead. WiFi connects to my home router but hangs and will not browse. All other Apple devices, that have not been upgraded on same network are fine.

My x phone does connect but when I FaceTime for example to my son he can’t see me because it says poor quality and my wife and kids haven’t update and even on the 5s talking on FaceTime get no Poot quality problems from the same spot. And i started having that problem after up
