Ios 8.02 and wifi
The update to ios 8.02 still hasnt fix the problem of dropping the 5 ghz band on my wifi. This started in the original release of ios 8. Never happened on ios 7.
Same issue here. iPad Air, WiFi, iOS 8.0.2.
Other devices within a few feet have no trouble whatsoever, and my iPad shows a good signal, but throughput drops to nothing at random intervals. This only started a couple of days ago after updating from the last version of iOS 7 to 8.0.2.
The solution is NOT in the generic "WiFi Troubleshooting" link above, all of which I've tried several times as a matter of course. Also tried switching from 5GHz to 2.4 GHz band, which had no effect. And it's an intermittent problem, so of course it would be very difficult to replicate in a support environment.
100% certain it's not the router. And while there's a chance it *could* be a hardware issue with the iPad, that'd be a mighty big coincidence for it to have started after updating to iOS 8.0.2.

Have iPhone 4 just installed iOS 5.0.1 and wifi will not
Stay up on my phone even though router is 10 feet away
And cannot recover wifi except by resetting router never. Asks for
PW etc? Plus battery life is reduced on this iOS?Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

I upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS 5.1 and wifi no longer works.
This is the weirdest problem. I can see the networks available. I appear to connect to them, and can see signal strength bars. When I try to use that connection, nothing works. I can't access URLs through safari, I can't get to YouTube or iTunes, I can't download email ... nothing. I've tried this on multiple networks and all are the same. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix ... Or a way to revert to 5.0.1?
BTW, 3G works just fine, but I have to disable wifi in order to drop back into 3G mode.I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

IPhone 4, iOS 6 update, and wifi - cannot browse WWW via DNS
Apologies for the long post in advance. Hopefully it's exhaustive enough for Apple to take notice.
tl;dr:
updated iPhone 4 (VZW) to iOS 6 on home wi-fi. now phone will not browse to WWW on home wi-fi, EXCEPT WHEN BYPASSING DNS (ie, browsing by IP address). tried lots. no success
full events detail:
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 yesterday evening (via iTunes on my Win 7 x64 PC). Upon completion, I ran into some trouble trying to sign in with my AppleID in order to restore from my iCloud backup. Suspecting that Apple's servers were just experiencing trouble (though nothing indicated iCloud was down), I skipped signing in and went about my day. The rest of my settings copied across from my computer. At that point, I slept on it.
The following morning (today), I noticed that I still could not sign in, but was off to work and did not have time to examine it further. At the office, all seemed well, and I used the phone with the updated OS largely without issue, including connecting to two new wifi networks. Returning home, however, I noticed that the behavior was the same as the previous evening, ie I could not connect to things like the App Store in order to install updates, the web to look for information, etc. Now having time to troubleshoot, I pressed forward with the investigation and immediately found a number of support community and web threads detailing wi-fi issues on devices after updating to iOS 6. I followed the steps I found, but I still have the same issue. Below is the list of things I've attempted, to the best of my ability to recollect.
1. forget network, rejoin - same symptoms
2. power off phone, power on - same symptoms
3. set wi-fi network HTTP proxy to Auto - same symptoms
3. forget network, power off wi-fi, power off cellular data, power on wi-fi, rejoin network (same symptoms), power on cellular data (same symptoms)
4. power off bluetooth (already done, no change), power on bluetooth - same symptoms
5. forget network, airplane mode on, power on wi-fi, rejoin network - same symptoms
6. clear cookies, cache, website data - same symptoms
7. try another browser (Opera) - same symptoms
8. try static IP on wi-fi network - same symptoms
9. forget network, power off router, turn off wi-fi, power off phone, power on phone, reset network settings, power on wi-fi, power on router (after 5+ mins), rejoin - same symptoms
10. restore phone to factory defaults (same symptoms) and restore from backup (same symptoms)
11. enable SSID broadcast on router - same symptoms
12. enable WMM on 802.1n router - already enabled, same symptoms
13. disable 40MHz channels on 802.1n router - same symptoms
14. set router to 802.1g operation - same symptoms
15. remove wireless security from wi-fi network - same symptoms
16. change SSID - same symptoms
17. update router firmware - no updates available, also, same router was working prior to update and continues to work without trouble with all other wi-fi devices in the house
18. try another router - already verified this works, but as a result of the particulars of this case, is not relevant as my home router is not at fault, so much as the update to iOS 6 is on my iPhone 4. as other routers work and as a factory restore did not resolve (prior to backup restoration), I also do not believe my iPhone 4 to be at fault, so much as the software update itself
Having exhausted all of those suggestions, I dug further. The phone was working without issue up until the moment it needed to reboot to apply the downloaded iOS 6 update. I initially encountered the incorrect password scenario during the post-update configuration, but after forgetting and setting up the wireless profile from scratch (from the iOS 6 setup wizard), it joined my wi-fi network. The phone DID pull an IP address from my router, and responded to pings from other devices on my network without issue. In addition, using the Safari browser to web to a local network device, such as my router, was successful, indicating that the wi-fi network was established and routing appropriately. All other devices on the network, wired or otherwise, were working without issue. I then attempted to trace traffic and found that none of my phone's web requests were reaching my router, except for those targeted at the LAN. I then tried browsing to an IP to ensure there was not a DNS issue, and my phone browsed successfully. I then tried another site by domain name and failed, and then its IP and was successful. I verified against my router's logs that the web requests were routing through it to ensure that my cellular data wasn't taking over, and the logs confirmed it. At that point, I tried changing DNS from my standard servers to another set, but the behavior remained the same. I then tried setting my router as the DNS server, but the issue remained.
In conclusion, it appears to be some sort of DNS issue specific to the update. I would also hazard a guess that this is impacting people on the networks where they downloaded the update and/or were connected when the phone actually updated. I've tried setting the profile to use local, ISP, and public DNS servers, but as the requests never reach my router, I am inclined to believe it's being restricted by a setting on the phone itself. Because the problem persists through a factory restore, it would seem to point to all data not being truly erased during that process. Recall that I'm having the same issue prior to a backup being restored to the device, and that this issue prevents iCloud from being accessed during the setup process while on the problematic wi-fi network, so that should rule out the backup playing any part in the trouble.
Any thoughts?The OP is correct, I have done many tests. With IOS6 there appears to be a dns issue in some cases with IOS for both ipad(2) at lease (my wife won't let me upgrade here v1) and the iPhone4s in my case. Pretty easy to diagonse, I wish Apple would fix it.
1.) I use a Juniper 5GT wireless firewall and all of my other devices (many apple, ipad, MBP, iMAC,3 ipods etc) are fine: Not ipad2 or iphone4s running IOS6
2.) after upgrade nothing worked. narrowed it down by messing with dns (I have my own dns server)
3.) Strange thing; dns works over MiFI (Verizon) and Carrier
4.) confirmed that it is a dns and not network issue.
-down load free tool called ping-scope-lite. (obviously you need to turn off wifi to do this)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-scope-lite/id431500107?mt=8
turn on wifi
- ping Level3 dns server 4.2.2.2 or Googlesdns servers 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 these worked.
-now ping by name google.com or ipchicken.com
- try others; same result.
Apple did say that they would give me another iphone 4s: I just wasn't sure that would fix my issue. I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but I got an error saying my device wasn't able to do so (tried even blocking itunes from contacting Apple) I whis this could be fixed. I did even have it working using my own dns server but now I can see that my phone over wifi isn't even trying to make a dns request now.

Hallo ,

I downloaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2. The only problem was, with the new system the letters and numbers on the keyboard became so streamlined that my wife had trouble seeing them because of a eye problem. Is there a way to get the old keyboard back and if not how do you uninstall ios 7?
I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround -
IOS 7.0.4 iPhone4s Bluetooth and WiFi "Off" but Bluetooth spinning
As title mentions, I have an iPhone 4S, running iOS 7.0.4 (the latest as of this writing).
After a holiday trip to Mass., my bluetooth and wifi won't turn back on. The settings screen shows Airplane mode Off (switch), WiFi Off (word), Bluetooth Off (word).
When I tap on Bluetooth, instead of seeing the switch, I have a spinner. It says "location accuracy and nearby services are improved when Bluetooth is turned on." and nothing else on the screen...
Soft reset, hard reset, reset network settings, backup and restore, so far none of these processes have helped. Neither has reactivating airplane mode, using the pop-up control center (it will light up the bluetooth B and say "bluetooth: on", but when I visually check on settings, it still says "off" and has the spinner instead of switch). I've even tried things like rebooting the phone with airplane mode on to see if that would help.
Due to bluetooth being down, the WiFi switch on it's second screen under settings is disabled and will not activate, even though the pop-up control panel will report the activation of WiFi as well just like it does bluetooth...
About phone will give me a hex bluetooth address, but wifi address is "N/A". The one time I found the diagnostics logs, I found a bunch of "bluetooth crashed" messages, cannot find them as of this writing again...
Not sure if this has any influence or not, but while I was in MA, at my mom's house who has a very old router, I used my iPad mini to do a Facetime call, and during said call my phone was "ringing" like it wanted to take the call, but I ignored it. WiFi seemed functional at my mom's house, my nephew had no problem playing angry birds before I left, but I didn't do anything else but imessage my wife and make a phone call at the airport until I landed in St. Louis, where I found the bluetooth non-functional. iPad is, as of this writing, still fully functional.I have experienced the same problem and tackled the solutions in very much the same way but to no avail. Can anyone help as this is very annoying.

If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version). -
Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
<Edited by Host>Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install. If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing... -
Hi I have iphone 4s and my Bluetooth and wifi do not work. it was working before and I did not do any update for IOS or anything but it just happened. what I should I do to resolve this?
Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.
