IOS 11.4.1 and wifi problem

I understand why you would “think” I am wrong, because you have had some level of success in your specific instance. However, before such a definitive conclusion can be made, please be aware that I am not using Virgin Media, and many other people experiencing this issue are also not using Virgin Media, and yet we too have been impacted by the software update. In my case, the only change for years of uninterrupted service has been this software update. So we have years of reliable service of one router compared to 90 minutes of success for your router. I have three other Apple devices and a bunch of other non-Apple devices that work just fine with my well aged DLINK router, because they are not running iOS 11.4.1, so the issue is most definitely the iOS patch. What you are experiencing may be a workaround, in that you simply happened to get a combination of configuration options that just happen to work (at least for now....you may have issues later). However, a workaround is not a fix. The answer is not to tell everyone who has a problem to go out and get a Virgin Media router, model XYZ, or to expect all affected router manufacturers to produce a firmware update or hardware modification to address an incompatibility introducted by Apple, but rather to correct the software bug that Apple introduced. So, no, pretty sure I am not wrong. That being said, I am very happy that your router is working for you, and hope it continues to work. 😁

You will be waiting till mid to late September..Beta is fine. They release upgrade to Developers first so they can test it and get the bugs out. I have been using it for about a week and I love it!

Just trying the other band and again seems to work, will see how long it continues to do so.

This is exactly my problem. After upgrading my IPhone SE to 11.4.1 I cannot use my wifi for more than a few minutes. That means my phonecalls are interrupted, I drop out of internet-pages, cannot work at all.

I really would like to downgrade to 11.4.Beta or so - the problem did not occur then. But I cannot - or can I? Does someone know about it?

Or does somebody know if Apple wants to correct this heavy mistake? In this case I would wait a bit instead of risking my data...

I have used all of these steps too. I am noticing that my WIFI is connected just fine but its the WIFI calling that is not working all the time. I have called my carrier (Cricket) and they said its an update issue. I am going to try and call Apple today and see what they have to say about it.

Following update to 11.4.1 on SE having major issues with wifi as you describe. My ipad uses IOS 9 and experiences no problems. Tried resetting router, resetting iphone and turning wifi off/on again but this only seems to provide limited relief.

Seems Im not the only one- hope this issue can be resolved asap.

Unfortunately you can't downgrade from this. I was told they stopped signing the software. You can read about it here. Basically we are all stuck with this HORRIBLE version until they come out with the next update which I hope is VERY soon..

I just tried - it didn´t change a thing.

I guess it´s just because you leave your wifi - when it´s lost or weak - and enter your normal internet-account. So you continue without wifi, which might work perfectly well. But for this you don´t need wifi at all.

In my case I am thrown out from my Fritz.Box during telephone calls - it´s not only wifi...

And HTTP does not help at all.

I have exactly the same problem and my wife does as well, we both have iPhone 6s, her Ipad is working fine but it ha not upgraded to ios 11.4.1. I cant believe Apple are burying there head in the sand over this its a disgrace.

Not sure it will be the solution you are hoping for, Samsung (and no doubt other manufacturers) are also having WiFi issues, just do a search, some believe it’s now due to an industry wide update to close a WiFi exploit that is unfortunately causing issues with certain manufacturers routers.

This discussion is pointing finger at certain Virgin Super Hub boxes ios 11.4.1 WiFi issue

Whatever the cause, I agree this tight lipped approach by Apple is not good enough and they really do need to rethink how long they give before removing the signing of the previous version, because that prevents those affected rolling back to get out of the problem.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately my colleagues never seem to have this problem even with virgin routers and their android phones, this is not an isolated instance and just seems to be the norm that we accept all of Apples little foibles which have happened on every Iphone I have owned, bot the same fault bit various ones over the years. Time will tell how long this takes.
