IOS 6 wifi issue workaround ;)

Guys I've had the same issues but managed to get it back working so joined up to here just to let you know
Go to settings
Turn on flight mode
Turn on wifi
Select home network ( you will find it now saves with no issues)
No turn off flight mode and you are back up and running
Post below if it worked for you too

I have also tried the stuff in the above list and I cannot get my ipad to connect. this totally blows.
- hard reboot
- turning phone off/on
- restoring to factory and then restoring from backup
- changing HTTP to auto
- airplane mode
- resetting network settings via Setting>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- manually typing in the network name
- turning wifi off/on
none of the above work for me.

IOS wifi issues...

Overnight my iOS devices (iPad 1, mini, iPhones 5 and 4) are struggling with my wifi network (BT HomeHub 3 with various extenders around the home).
It will show as connected but then not allow an internet connection. (e.g. on Twitter it won't download anymore tweets). Whilst in safari, trying to access a website a box appears asking for a username and password (almost as if you are logging in to a private network) even for sites where no such exists or I have been asked for one before.
This is very perplexing. It does not seem to be the router, even by turning Homehub off and on again, it still persists. Yet, it doesn't happen all the time, sometimes I can access apps, safari at the same point in the house fine, then next minute it won't work.
There seems to be no trigger to this... I've not updated my devices with new iOS and as far as I'm aware there has been no BT update...
Any advice welcome.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Anyconnect ios Wifi issues after roaming

Hi,
After roaming with cellular network, the wifi does not access the network despite the connection established. I have to renew the lease of the connection to have access to the network.
I encounter the problem on IOS 5.1 with the latest version of AnyConnect. Have you everencountered this problem?
thank you,

IOS 8 WIFI ISSUES 5ghz airplay related! the real workaround here

Ever since upgrading to IOS 8, including IOS 8.01, 8.02 and 8.1 I had the wellknown Wifi issue. wifi speeds dropping from 120mbps to about 2mbps @ 5ghz in within a minute after connecting to the wifinetwork. often i couldn't even surf at all. but the wifi signal was always strong. With every update i was hoping for a solution from Apple but it never came. Tried everything that can be found on the internet. Resetting the network settings. Disabling "wifi networking" under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. Reinstalling my Ipad from scratch Used different routers and different setups. Automatic ip's and fixed ip's and different dns servers just to be sure. Nothing worked. The only workaround is switching to a 2.4Ghz network. So i was doing some tests and found THE solution, but i don't like it all. One of the biggest changes in IOS 8 is the ability to use airplay without a network. by using a wifi connection in combination with bluetooth. And here lies the problem. I disconnected al my Airplaydevices from my network. Denon AV-amplifier AVR2113, Pioneer wireless speaker XW SMA3 and an airport express. Et voila... My Ipad is back to normal. fast... no very fast internet connection and stable as ****. Just like iOS 7 was. Working with it for a couple of hours now without any trouble at all. But do i connect one Airplay device to the network the wifi is not stable anymore and extremely slow again on my ipad air. My Macbook running mac os x mavericks doesn't have these issues, neither does my iphone 5S. and they are also on the same 5ghz network. So I can create and recreate the issue and create a work around... Apple please come with a solution that makes me able to use airplay an ipad (on ios8) on a 5ghz network! like in iOS 7!!!!

I'm just going to throw something different into the mix. Could it just be that different Wi-Fi networks may use different ISPs and each ISP will have it's own configuration settings?
For example, if you have an iPhone on Cellular Network 1 and send an email, it'll use the SMTP server for that network. If you're using your home Wi-Fi you'll have the SMTP server for your ISP in your iPhone's settings, and that's what your iPhone will use when sending an email from home. But if you're accessing a different Wi-Fi network somewhere and it's using a different ISP, then it'll have a different SMTP server. So, sending an email for example won't work unless you turn off Wi-Fi and force your iPhone to use your Cellular Network instead (because it'll have the SMTP server for that network).
Now, the example above is specific to email, but I'm just trying to think outside the square a little compared to the other responses here.
Hope this helps you progress to a solution.

WiFi issues with iPhone 4S & ios 6 update

Okay here is my issue...
I've been reading alot of issues that people have with connecting to WiFi with their new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or other devices but I have no trouble connecting to WiFi at all. My problem is that WiFi wont 'work'. The WiFi I'm hooked up to at home doesn't let me do basically anything that requires internet.
I can get on the Facebook app fine and my newsfeed loads but I can't see Facebook notifications, upload photos or videos, read inboxes, look at photos, its very slow etc.
I can't get into the App Store or iTunes at all. It says it 'Cannot Connect to iTunes Store' when I try.
I can't upload photos onto Instagram
Currently I'm into the Simpsons Tapped Out game and I can't go onto it at all.
And there are a few other minor issues I am having.
All these things I can do with my Telstra 3G network however and it ***** because I want to use and do all these things but I have to use my 3G and I've just recently gone over my data monthly usage and been charged extra which I'm not happy about.
So is anyone else having these issues or is it just me and I'm stuffed? I'd REALLY love some help.
I've been lost with what to do because as some are having WiFi issues as well, mine isnt the same and it's hard to find answers or just other discussions.
Please Help!
Thankyou.

I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6

Iphone 4s wifi issues ios 6.1.2.!!!

Anybody with a solution to ios 6.1.2 wifi issues ? or should wait for ios 6.1.3..!
When is 6.1.3 coming ? any idea?
My wifi is not working at all... not able to connect any network. Apple is just ignoring this .....

For the backup problem, take a look at this doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
for the Wi-Fi problem, try Resetting Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset. And, see this for other ideas -> iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Ios 6.1.2 wifi issues

I am using iphone 4s for about 14 months now. i have never faced wifi issues before updating to ios 6.1.2. But now i am not staying connected to wifi for long time. I dont know whether i m alone in this world to face such an issue. Please help fix this issue to the earliest.
It's very disappointing to know that apple is ignoring such issues from its customers & even rolling back to back new software versions without even checking it to the fullest. And on top of that the apple customer care people are saying its a hardware problem. I think they are ignoring the fact of software issues with ios 6.1.2. especially with WIFI.
Please reply if anybody face such issues.and possible solution for it.

I've been having the same wifi dropouts on ios 6.1.2. I never have had this issue before, and it is very frustrating. It makes me wish I had never upgraded. I am not having this issue with my other wifi devices (PCs, Macs, Android phones, Roku, Wii, Apple TV), so I know it is not a router issue. Is Apple working on a fix?
One hard lesson that I learned is that I will never rush into any future ios updates again. I have tried all of the fixes that I could find online to no avail :-(
Oh, excuse me. I was just prompted again to rejoin my dropped wifi connection.

IPhone 5 wifi issue. IOS 6.0.2 vs IOS 6.0.1

Hi all,
Just want to ask if IOS 6.0.2 is better than IOS 6.0.1?
Recently, i noticed that my iphone 5 will disconnect the wifi connection after a while when not in use (standby / sleep mode_10 mins). When first bought, the phone was perfect.
Sometimes it will auto sycn back to wifi and sometimes not. IOS 6.0.2 software update on my phone states that it will fix the wifi issue but also heard negative issue such as the battery drain its power source very fast.
Will be very appreciate to hear some suggestions. Thanks and cheers to all!

It's because your phone will pick up LTE and then it'll lose it. What you need to do is turn off the LTE (until the service is better, more available) and you won't go in and out of service.
Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Enable LTE - OFF

On my iphone 5 , i m facing slow wifi issue. Ios 6.0.2 didnt resloved it.any one please told me ios 6.1 fixed this issue or not b/c i m right now not in a mood to install the ios 6 .

It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem?

IPhone 6 64gb WiFi issues still present on iOS 8.1.

I have try everything to fix my WiFi issues on iPhone 6 64gb (MG4X2LL/A), Even bought a new router among other fixs and other recommendations from Apple and abroad, with no success. The funny thing is that my wife's iPhone 6 16 gb have no trouble at all. Mine; Wrong Password/ Unable to connect. #Disappointing.

I have problems too.
- My device: iPhone 6 64gb
- iOS: 8.1
- 1 day life.
- Problem: Wifi doesn't work at home, at university etc.
- I try: Reset of network settings, reset the device as new, reboot, reset of my wifi router etc. I try all.
- Results: nothing change
- Always the wifi settings ask me the password, I put the correct, it doesn't accept; or it says me: impossible to find it, impossible to connect, password incorrect (is correct). Sometimes it has accepted the password (after 20 times trying) but it hasn't worked at all. Only one time it has worked for 2 minutes and after no connection.
Sorry if my english is not so correct. I think as all that is a bug of iOS 8.1. I hope for a solution.

IPad iOS 8.0.2 WiFi issues and mitigation

So, I've been having lots of issues with WiFi connectivity and my iPad Air ever since updating from iOS 7.1.2 to 8.0.2, and it sounds like I'm not alone. I've verified that the issue is not local to my home WiFi network (I can reproduce the issue on other WiFi networks) and I've preformed a fresh install of iOS 8.0.2, which did not help.
This *****, but until a fix comes out I've found the following procedures seem to get me back on the network....at least for a while.
1). A Reset:
http://www.imore.com/how-restart-or-reset-your-iphone-or-ipad
2.) Disabling the Wi-Fi Networking services:
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/09/fix-ios-8-wifi-problems.html
Neither of these will fix the issue for long, but both have seemed to work for a while.

Don't do it. I updated my iPod touch 5th Generation to ios 8.0.2 and it will keep dropping wifi, and safari has lots of bugs. I suggest waiting to 8.0.3 where we shall see if the update fixes wifi issues for real.
Hope this helps

Does ios 6.1.3 wifi issues get solved in next update?

Has anyone solved their wifi issues after new update of ios ? Coz i am having wifi issues since i updated my iphone 4s to 6.1.2 . I dont think it is a hardware failure... I have tried resetting my iphone as new device. I have checked my router settings which is a netgear make.
Please help if new software updates help solve this problem? I have updated this from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 but unfortunately the problem persisted after updating my device to latest ios running. I guess many are having same issues. GUYS WE MUST DO SOMETHING SO THAT APPLE LISTENS US ATLEAST.

I'm having the same issue since 6.1.2. I worked throught the various checklists and nothing has worked. What I have noticed is most of the 'fixes' require me to do someithing with my home router. I don't understand that as I use my phone as a hotspot or internet connection while I'm away from home and on 3G. That part doesn't make sense.
When the phone is connected it is recognized in iTunes but not in the System Preferences Network Settings page.
I used to connect my phone to my Mac via USB and opt to use the USB Only option for HotSpot with the Mac WIFI off. The blue bar on the phone comes on indicating that HotSpot is working. It has worked for me like that until 6.1.2. Since then the USB Only option does not work and I have to use WIFI on both the phone and the Mac. If I'm lucky, I get a connection and can get my mail and do some surfing before it drops the connection. The blue bar that comes up on the phone is there indicating the hotspot is on, but the connection is lost. A dozen or so resets, of either my Mac or my phone, later and I might get a connection again. That's no way to do business.
All I did was update the phone when it told me there was an update available. Did I miss something?

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.
