This discussion may help ios 11.4.1 WiFi issue


From what I’ve read and previously experienced you could try “Forget this Network” under your WiFi Settings then reconnect again, “Resetting Network Settings”, reboot both your iPhone and your Router and last try the other wireless section if dual band.


With respect to the bands, if you usually use 5Ghz then try 2.4Ghz, but also try turning 5Ghz completely off as well, in others words you turn a dual band into a one band unit.


ps. It appears the latest iOS 11.4.1 has introduced this issue for some and will probably require Apple to fix in a future update, so above are just temporary “work around”.

No, the issue is not limited to the iPhone8, nor is it limited to Virgin Media routers. I have an iPhone 6 and a DLINK router, and had no issues for years until the 11.4.1 upgrade. The issue is with the update, and thus software based. However, some people are reporting some success replacing certain hardware. However, given the nature of the issue, any such success can only be viewed as a workaround, not an actual fix to the root issue.

I am struggling to understand why it is taking Apple so long to rectify this issue. Surely it is known what changes were made in iOS11.4.1 which are responsible. The simplest option would be to re-issue the version of iOS11 which worked perfectly before this whole debacle and then not make the same mistake again in future updates!
