Since updating to 11.4.1 my wifi doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I am connected to the wifi but apps like youtube, facebook and whatsapp struggle to connect to the internet but eventually connect after a minute or two.
My old ipad mini first gen is running ios 9 and is working perfectly on the same wifi, so this is clearly an issue with the new ios.
Do you also have this problem?
I put this down to poor quality control, again.
iPhone 6, iOS 11.4.1, 64gb
I would try to reset your network settings (this procedure resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before, but nothing else).
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
When done, restart your iP6 and test it.

I'm sorry you're having this issue too, but at least we aren't alone. I thought i was going crazy and it was just me!
It's not so bad on my phone as i have 10gb data but it's very stressful having my child constantly tell me roblox isn't working, and the only temporary fix is to turn the wifi off and on.
I'm going to make an appointment at my local apple store just to confirm by a tech it's a software issue as it seems the techs on here just tell you to reboot the device.
in our case one employee updated to IOS 11.4.1 and now his phone hangs when connected to our access point on our LAN. when checking emails. As soon as we turn off the WiFi and use his cell phone data plan, everything is good.
we have reset his phone, reset the network, and in exchange removed and reestablished a new active sync relationship, but no luck. ONLY one person is having this issue. it is an iPhone 6
Yes, same issue here on my iPad Air 2. After upgrading iOS to version 11.4.1 I am having problems with connectivity when waking up my iPad and trying to use the Internet. The first minute or so there won't be any connection and no application will be able to access the Internet, even though the iPad is connected to my Wi-Fi access point. After about a minute (sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 40 seconds), Internet starts working.
It is obviously an iOS bug since this problem wasn't present before and surfaced only after upgrading iOS to 11.4.1.
Just got back from the Apple Store. My wifi setting grayed out a few times after the upgrade but after I turned the phone (7 Plus, 128 gb, 45 gb used) off and on it came back. This past weekend, it grayed out and won't reappear. I texted support, tried resetting the network settings and resetting all settings, didn't help. Tried to even erase all content and settings and it says "Cannot erase iPhone There was a problem removing this iphone from your account try erasing this iPhone again." (which I've done, and gotten the same message). The tech I texted with tried to send me diagnostics to run (still on cellular fine, just pricey with a limited plan) but I couldn't receive it. Then it started losing battery quicker than normal, and feeling warm, so I just shut it off unless I really needed it. . . Genius (interesting tidbit there, he wanted me to turn off "Find my iPhone" and that wouldn't work, either, had to do it from his computer) told me that it was probably not a software issue and I could get another 7 Plus 128 for $349 plus tax *and* my current phone but the killer- the new one, a refurb, would only have a 90 day guarantee. So, my plan now is to do the router on and off with the phone off (not expecting much, the wifi button is grayed out, not sure how I could get it back) and then try to back up and restore (maybe I have a pre-11.4.1 backup, need to look). Phone is less than 2 years old, never had any drops, water (he did the full phone diagnostics in the store and couldn't find anything) - not even a scratch.
Okay i have done as you said.
When it was set up as a new phone the wifi was fine but as soon as i restored from back up the problem came back.
Has the new ios update and itunes corrupted my back up?
Okay, my daughters ipad mini updated to the latest ios overnight (something i did not want!)
And now it also has the wifi connection time bug.
Connections to the internet take upto a minute sometimes but on average are 5 seconds.
Constant spinning icon next to the wifi icon.
I have the virgin media superhub 2, surely this is a compatibility issue from the last update?
It seemed okay but it wasn’t, the lag issue was present when a clean install was made.
The issue now happens on both my iPhone and iPad on my network.
My virgin media super hub has be reset multiple times. So I doubt it’s something on both devices that causes the issue.
Both devices worked fine before the update.
Anche io ho questo problema. Pensavo che fosse problema del modem e invece è proprio un bug del iOS 11.4.1. Gli altri dispositivi Android funzionano benissimo. Certi problemi su un iPhone nel 2018 sono da piangere. Anche perché a me mi fa continue piccoli disconnessioni mentre navigo che mi creano tanti problemi. La situazione non è accettabile. Apple svegliatiiiii...
Unfortunately this only solved my problem temporarily.
It was working fine on facebook for a few minutes, but when i tried searching on safari it started hanging on the search but turning wifi off via control panel to 4g instantly solved it. Now every app is hanging again.
At a guess, it seems when you switch to another app it generates a new request that forces a dns refresh or to redetect the internet settings.
it seems the techs on here just tell you to reboot the device.
There are NO Apple techs here. This is NOT a support channel.
This is a user to user community. You keep changing your story, which is why we can't really be of help.
Thank you for the advice but the problem happens with both frequencies.
My devices are connected with full signal but the internet only works for a while on first connection then it’ll stop. Especially if you leave the device alone for a while then try to use it there will be no internet but you’ll still be on the WiFi.
I can control ip cameras connected to my WiFi network but the internet is borked.
Only fix is to disconnect and reconnect to the WiFi.
I have exactly the same issue. My phone keeps dropping out the WiFi so I have to turn it off and on again to work, which is great when you are half way through a transaction etc..and my old iPad has no issues.
Come on Apple...sort it out...again, and again and again and again....feels like I’ve been here before...
Take me home to Kansas....
Classic...whilst I was trying to post a reply my internet had failed and I had to turn it off and on again, again, again
I have this same problem on my IPhone 6s. I had no problems at all up until this latest Apple update. Must be the update as my sons iphone 7 is fine, but he hasn’t updated his phones iOS yet. This is so frustrating. I thought it would have been sorted by now.
Nearly the same problem here. In my case, there is no delayed connection, I have to tap the Wifi network to get a connection. The problem occurred after upgrading an iPhone 7 to iOS 11.4.1. I see the issue on all the wifi networks I have previously connected to.
My iPad mini bought 2016 worked fine until iOS 11.4.1 and now I have the same problems with wifi as everyone else. Is it worth me going to the apple store or must I just wail for the next iOS upgrade?
