FIX - slow wifi on iPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2

ive had a problem with my wifi since I bought the iphone 6. I get good speeds for a time, then it drops off and gets slow again. Tried resetting anything and everything. Then I did this: went to my browser, typed in "what's my ip", copied my ip address and pasted in my address bar. Logged into my Verizon acct. the user name should be admin and the password should be a mix of letters and numbers on your router, unless you've changed these user names and passwords. Once logged in I went to advanced wireless settings and changed my security settings from WEP to WPA2 and reset my password to a 16 digit key. Save the settings and log out. Then since I have a pc I changed the settings on my wifi to match the settings I just changed. Then I went into my iPhone's settings < general < reset < reset network settings. and that's it. Been doing speed tests and it been working fine. Hope this helps yall.

What was the result by going to the Apple Genius Bar ?
Our experience with iPhone 6:
Very slow wifi on iPhone 6 on several different wifi networks, home and work and others. Cannot be a WEP-WPA2 issue, must be an iPhone6 issue. Also have experienced 6 Mbps recently and 22 Mbps last month, seems to be variable and getting worse.
PS- iPhone 5 on very same home network gave 57 Mbps when iPhone  6 gave 6 Mbps !

    Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.  The issue described has nothing to do with the phone.

  • Slow wifi after update to ios 8.0.2

My  phone is still in warranty

    I Have same issue with wifi on iPad air with 8.0.2 being qa engineer myself I am amazed how company like apple can release something with fundamental issues with wifi and cellular. I guess basic tests are missing and Apple needs to employ good people in test and do not get into this kind of disgrace next time. There is no fix? I have issues with apps upgrade too due to slow wifi, come on apple don't be Samsung or Chinese companies!!!!

  • Why is facebook so slow on my Iphone with IOS 8?

    Why is facebook so slow on my Iphone with IOS8?

    Here is the article explaining why.
    Developer Steve Streza, iOS devices are programmed to ping a test URL upon connecting to a Wi-Fi network to see if it’s protected by a “captive portal.” And that test page has been down all afternoon…
    Here’s more on that from Errata Security:
    “When an Apple iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) connects to a WiFi network, the first thing it does is make a request to the URL http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html.
    The purpose of this request is to discover if there is a “captive portal” in the way. A captive portal is when, after connecting to the WiFi, any web request you makes gets redirected to a login/ToS page. In order to continue, you must either login with a username/password (or sign up, then login), and/or access the Terms of Service.”
    Anyway, it sounds like Apple was able to correct this issue on their end, so no update will be necessary. But if you’re still having Wi-Fi problems, you can try the following:
    Toggle your Wi-Fi off and on – Settings app > Wi-Fi OR
    Set your device’s HTTP Proxy to Auto – Settings app > Wi-Fi > Blue icon next to the network you’re connecting to > Scroll to the bottom
    One of these methods should cure your iOS 6 Wi-Fi troubles. If not, be sure to let us know in the comments below.

  • How to fix slow wifi ???

    i have been extremely pailing down by slow wifi on my iphone 5. everything was good before upgrading to ios 6.0.1 but when i did upgrade my iphone has extremely slow internet access especially on youtube videos. what the **** is going on with iphone 5??? since everyone is facing same problem why dont apple company  fix this problems or why dont they bring some solutions. *************  i want to kill these creepers. i had great hope on iphone 5 but everything messed away. reply to me anyone if there is any solutions.......................

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Slow WiFi on iPhone 6

    I have a new iPhone 6, an iPad Air, iPad 4, iPhone 5S. They are all running iOS 8. The iPhone 5s and the iPad 4 have very speedy WiFi (90-100mbps). The iPhone 6 gets about 9mbps down. I read a bit about this and reset the network settings yesterday and it improved. After turning it on today, it's back to being slow. It doesn't drop the connection but being ten times slower than the older devices I have is puzzling.
    After the update to iOS 8 on my iPad Air, it too had this problem but I reset network connections and it is still quite good. I wonder if this is a software or hardware problem and if anyone else is experiencing slow WiFi on the iPhone 6. The LTE on AT&T is quite good 60-70 down, 20+ up. Thanks.

    How do you reset the network connections?  Is it on the phone?  My phone can't see the wifi at all - though it is 1 foot away.  A hard reset lets it see it agaian - sometimes.

  • Slow internet on Iphone 5 IOS 7

    Hello,
    I have recently been having trouble loading anything on my internet on my Iphone 5, IOS 7.  I have not been using it in any new locations, or have not used any unknown or new wifi connections.  It is very hard for me to look something up, watch a video n youtube, or even loading facebook.  I have also noticed that my maps app is hard to load and bring up directions.  Also, my Netflix app will not load a video at all unless connected to wifi.  Prior to 3 days ago, I had no problem loading the internet, using my maps app on my phone, or even sitting down watching a movie on campus.  This is EXTREMELY frustrating.  I tried to meet with someone at an apple store, but the closest one to me is about an hour away, and when I was at a store as a walk in, they said they could not assist me unless I had an appointment. 
    I deleted all my unused apps, any old texts, emails, photos, videos etc, trying to free up space incase my battery was just full!  I dont have any music at all on my phone!
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks!

    It didnt really help much.  I thought about doing that before I posted my question on here.  I tried my Netflix app again, and it didnt work.  It gave me an error message and a code.  When searching that specific code on netflix support, it said it could be because my firmware isnt updated to the newest, 7.0.3 because its at 7.0.2, and i recently updated my Netflix app.
    But when I tried to bring something up on the internet, it didnt change much.  I am currently updating my phone to 7.0.3 to see if that will help.
    Thank you!

  • Slow wifi in iPhone 5s after upgraded to iOS 8

    I Have upgraded my iPhone 5s recently but my wifi becomes drastically slow i tried to solve this problem by resetting the networking and by turning off the location services of networking but it remains for a while after that a spinning wheel comes and everything becomes as it was plz answer it immediately I really cant check my Facebook properly

    Before trying a restore, you could download this app: https://itunes.apple.com/app/speedtest-net-mobile-speed/id300704847?mt=8
    Do a few speed tests between 2/5 min. This will clarify if your iPhone is getting a good speed (aside your on screen signal).

  • No wifi on iphone 4s ios 8.02 or 8.0

    my iphone 4s is on 8.0.2 and when i go to settings/wifi   no wifi signals show up and when i try to connect to my wifi manually it says 'cannot scan for wirelss networks'
    i have tried restoring multiple times to and from 8.0 - 8.02
    i have tried restting network settings multiple times
    i have tried rebooting multiple times
    also when i got to settings/general/reset and erase all content and data, when going through the start up process, i can connect to my wifi but as soon as i get to the iphones homepage after about 20-30s i will lose connection and wont be able to connect again
    any ideas on how to fix this?

    I see no mention of you trying to reboot your router. Have you done that? If not, you should.

  • WiFi Issues - iPhone? IOS? Sky? EE? PLEASE HELP!

    I am suddenly having major problems connecting to Wi-Fi.  I am reading a lot about iPhone 6’s having issues but I have an iPhone 4S and recently upgraded to the latest IOS software 8.1
    Whilst I cannot confirm or identify that the software update has caused this, it seems very coincidental that since then I am experiencing issues.
    I have Sky broadband at home that appears to be working ok as I can access internet on my laptop which is fine.  However when I go to connect it asks me for my password and to join network. 
    The 2 issues I get are either:  1) it does not connect and just asks for my password repeatedly without connecting or 2) it appears to connect and the WiFi symbol shows on my phone but nothing actually works or loads.  I am also bemused as to why I am not getting 3G all of a sudden when WiFi is not connected, it is just always GPRS.
    I have followed many online tips about resetting network settings and re-booting router etc. but nothing is working and I am now at a loss as to why this is.  I cannot work out if it is an iPhone issue, an IOS software issue, the Sky broadband at home or my EE connectivity.  I am sure it must be IOS issue but just don’t know.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated as it has been a few days of frustration now and don’t know what to do!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I was using iPhone 4S, and already upgraded from 7.1.2 to iOS 8 couple hours ago.
    It just works fine to me.
    However it doesn't fix wifi grey out issue.
    Good luck.

  • How I fixed my wifi on iphone with clearwire

    After so many tries and hours of pain........!
    I first got on apple support and had my internet redone by support help. Then went to the genius bar and made sure my iphone worked with wifi-it did.
    Then back to the drawing board. Finally went to the about mac on my imac and found out my clearwire had a fixed dns.
    in system profile, I looked at the network tab and found my dns. Server address. Back to my iphone.
    So I put it in and went to the settings and instead of dhcp, I used boot. Works great, only shows the dns for clearwire. Works to fast to be edge, as edge is the only thing that shows-but it works fast!
    Tried weather, stocks works great. BUT not itunes?
    Better than nothing. Jon

    You say fixed DNS.
    Have you tried running iPhone in regular WiFi mode, and changing the DNS addresses manually? Then seeing if all the features plus iTunes WiFi Store works?
    Might be a possibility a port is being blocked that won't allow iTunes WiFi Store to access the internet correctly.
    Can you even access it on a home computer?

  • HT5569 unable to join in wifi on iphone 5 iOS 7

    I have iphone5. It was updated to iOS 7
    But I have a big problem that my phone doesn't connect to some wifi
    When I use the wifi at home, it's OK
    but when I am in school or another place, it can't connect to wifi at that place
    >"<
    I tried resetting the Network, but it was useless 
    It says " Unable to join ....... "
    Would you show me the other way to solve this problem ?
    I'm Vietnamese, and I very bad at English.
    I think there are some mistakes about grammar in this discussion.
    I am so sorry about that.
    I always expect your answers !
    Thank you for reading

    If it will not connect to a specific network, try going to Settings and then forget that network.  Reboot the iPhone by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Then go back to Settings and WiFi and try to choose the network again.
    See if that helps.
    Grammar is fine, very easy ot understand.
