11.4.1 Upgrade caused WiFi issues on iPad

I don't think y'all understand the situation. Give us some credit guys. We've done everything by the book including what you just put up. It just solves nothing. Our Wi-Fi is still not working and my Bluetooth too isn't working.

Solution? Apple should just fix this bug with an update or allow for downgrading since that's our only best option and they've ignored it like nobody's business

When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits recovery mode, let the download finish, then repeat these steps.

I'm also an iTunes user (running on Windows 7). It has a problem of its own like you said. I used to have a variety of problems with iTunes after upgrading it to newer versions. iTunes becomes extremely slow (it takes 5 minutes to get into the interface), can't detect my iPad Air or iTunes can detect the device but can't sync it and many other problems.

A few years ago, I stopped updating iTunes without uninstalling the current version first. I use the following article to uninstall iTunes in the correct order:

Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later - Apple Support

I just upgraded to the latest iTunes recently and it works flawlessly. It takes a couple of seconds to get to the interface and there is no problem with sync, backup etc. Read that article thoroughly and follow the direction step by step. Don't miss a step. You should be able to update it successfully.

Apple Support - You clearly don't get it. The 11.4.1 update is flawed; we cannot stay connected to the internet now. Please issue a patch to fix the problem immediately. This issue is clearly having a serious impact on your users so give it priority. Personally, I was thinking of getting a new iPhone and iPad but this experience is making me reconsider. I have been a loyal Apple product user for many years but now .... 😠

Thanks for the reply and suggestion chris_g1.
I have tried this also with my iPad but I am still facing this wifi issue in new IOS 11.4.1
Can you please tell us when Apple is going to release new IOS software for iPad and iPhone.
I am ending up with IOS 12 beta 9 developer version. But we have many customer for my company, and i can not able to give them IOS 12 because it is limited for developer version. They operate iPad for their daily operation and spend most of their time on iPad. Because of this issue, they had many problem and every-time they have to check internet connection and get frustrated with this issue.
Please give us a proper guideline how can we solve this IOS 11.4.1 wifi issue.

I’m getting the same problem too. Contacted Apple support today. They told me to reset WiFi settings which I did. That didn’t work still had the problem. Was told to back up and reset the iPad to factory settings, still got the same problem, upgrading to 11.4.1 has rendered my 18month old iPad useless!!

I'm sorry you've been caught up in this. I was about to buy my first iPhone after enjoying using iPods and iPads over the years but this recent problem has deterred me. I am waiting for ios 12 to be publicly released and hoping that would resolve things, but my concern is how are we going to update from 11.4.1 to 12? Will the connection to the internet stay intact long enough for the download? If not what do we do then?

Connect it to a computer with the latest iTunes. Let your computer detect and download the update package. I've been updating iOS that way. I've updated from iOS 9 to 10 and now 11 with iTunes help without any problem.

Thanks. I just hope that iTunes has now allowed my laptop to update it successfully; it has failed to install a few times. I'll check it now. Ironically it was problems with Windows that made me get a iPad in the first place, and I was even toying with getting a Mac recently - but not now ....

I'll go and check to see if iTunes has updated okay now.

Thanks again for your help.
