Wifi not working with iOS 11.4

I upgraded to iOS 11.4 and since then wi-fi doesn't work.

It's on on the control centre and in the settings menu I see the name of the network next to "wi-fi" as if it was connected, but when I go into the wifi menu the switch is off and I cannot turn it on.

I tried everything, from resetting network settings, to turning off network assist and the Wi-fi networking on location services, and nothing worked.

Also tried to set up the phone as new and the problem was solved, but then when I restored the back up I got the same issue again. I'd really like to avoid having to set up the device as new, because I don't have enough space on the cloud for everything on my phone, so I'd lose content anyway and I don't want that.

Anyone else with the same issue?

Do you think the next patch will fix it?

When will there be a next patch?

iPhone 8, iOS 11.4

Yes, I'm assuming the iOS version has something to do with this issue, because before the upgrade to iOS 11.4 everything worked just fine, and now it doesn't. I would say this has to do with some interaction between the upgrade and the data that was already on my phone, no? So possibly a patch will fix it?

I know several other people with the same exact issue and I don't think we all have the same corrupt app or data - but we all have iOS 11.

I'm having an issue with iPhone 6 and iPad mini 4. Its not that the wifi does not work its mostly not working very well and, sometimes, not at all. I have an iMac hardwired to the same router and that works fine, so does all the other kit connected to that router by wifi. It must be something to do with the latest iOS upgrade.

Apple’s “12 will be out soon” suggests that they know that 11.4 & 11.4.1 are causing major issues with WIFI access! Please using their provider download allowance when they think that they are using Wifi!

Upgrading to iOS 12 didn't help either. It's gotten even worse. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to "Erase All Content and Settings" and do not restore from backup.

Apple should be ashamed for not fixing the issue. 😟
