Ios 8 wifi dropout

ios 8 wifi dropout

I have been having network dropout issues for about 6 weeks now. I run a wireless LED lighting display utilizing a number of WiFi bridges.
They have been constantly dropping off the network at random times. I have changing 2 routers and 8 bridges with no result.
To cut a long story short 2 days ago I realized it was my new phone that was the culprit, or more specifically iOS 8. This problem also manifests itself in my iPad mini also running iOS 8. The dropouts never happen in both devices at the same time.!!! After reading the numerous complaints from hundreds of people online regarding this problem, I decided to follow some of their recommendations by resetting network settings, then resetting ALL settings but to no avail. I took the phone to the local Apple shop yesterday, they did a hardware check and said that was ok. They said the last resort is to do a complete reset and wipe, and if that doesn't resolve the problem they will replace the handset. In the end that didn't work, so I took it back and was duly given a new handset. When I initially set it up I did notice an overall improvement in performance, things just worked better. The lighting bridges were there and working. Then after about 4 hours the old problem came back. So I'm now resigned to the fact that I'm just going to have to wait till Apple addresses the problem in the software [or maybe firmware??]
PS Having said all that, I just looked at your comment regarding the iOS version and the new phone actually has 8.1.1 I checked the update status and 8.1.2 is available so I will download that and see what happens. In your message you said 8.0.2 Is that correct ??

After update to 10.9.1. wifi dropouts

hi,
after updating to 10.9.1. experiencing frequent wifi dropouts. so far used 5GHz and experienced the dropouts (router: linksys ea4200). currently using 2.4GHz so far without dropout. but also speed slowed down significantly.
anyone experiencing similar problems?

I think the problem is due to incompatibility with your dreadful Linksys router, but you can try the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Dirty solution to Wifi dropouts 10.5.3/10.5.4

*Before reading* any further, please mention these statements:
*- Fixing issue's using previous Mac OS X builds can be very risky (use this tip at your own risk!)*
*- You're about to re-open security flaws that were (originally) solved by a recent update in 10.5.3/10.5.4*
*- There's probably a better solution to execute the fix and install the kext files... So please add your comments!*
Ok, so I was one of the many people around the forums who had Airport problems. My symptoms: Wifi was fine until I updated to Mac OS X 10.5.3. Constant wifi dropouts and 'Beacons Lost' in the Console... I've tried many options in these forums, without any succes... so I tried some dirty fix myself.
Preparations:
1) Backup your system!
2) Download 10.5.2 Combo Update (you will probably have to download this from another working/wired system and burn it to a cd. I did.)
3) Download 10.5.4 Combo Update
4) Download Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/)
Go to /System/Library/Extensions and locate the IO80211Family.kext folder.
5) Backup this folder to another location. Name it something like '1054Wifi'
6) Open up the 10.5.2 Combo Update, but do NOT install it (or try it ;)). You will need the new mounted disk.
7) Install the pacifist programme and run it. Take some time and press 'Not yet' to continue...
8) Open the 10.5.2 package and locate /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext
9) Extract these folder to your system at the exact same location
10) Run your Disk Utility (Programmes/Utilities) and 'Repair Disk Permissions'
11) Reboot
This worked for me. No wifi dropouts anymore!
When apple finally fixes this bug do not forget to run the 10.5.4 Combo Update or try above dirty solution using the 10.5.4 Combo update before updating to the next version (10.5.5?).
Please add some comments to this post! Good luck.

Please note that by doing this you will not only reopen some security holes fixed by recent updates, but also that it is likely the 10.5.4 and future updates will not properly update the AirPort drivers, as simply replacing a kernel extension will confuse the system.
For that matter it's also likely to have other subtle side effects on the system that no one - Apple or anyone else - has tested for.
I understand your frustration and your desire to find a solution that works for you, but do realize there are major caveats to doing so.

Lion upgrade and wifi dropout

Since updating to Lion I have had regular wifi dropout - anyone know how to fix?

GX70 Wifi dropouts

Saw the sticky for GS70 wifi dropouts, having the same problem with my GX70.
Does the same fix apply or is there something else I need to check, basically it drops out almost at regular intervals, 3-4 hours or so. Easy enough to reconnect but it happens during gaming which is annoying.

Have you tried to update the latest WLAN dirver?
Which version are you using now?
Unless you're also having an Intel ac wireless adapter, or I don't think the fix will work on your GX70.

MacBook Pro 15" & Lion 10.7.3 wifi dropout

Hi
My MacBook Pro 15" bought in mid 2009. I experienced serious wifi dropout problem recently. Actually my wifi dropout happens almost every few minutes. What the change I made recently was upgrading operating system to Lion operating system and fibre - wifi. I am not sure whether it's hardware problem or operating system bugs. I have tried to tether my iPhone 4s wifi to MacBook Pro and it looks alright. Hence I assume it's not hardware/ network card problem.
I have tried various solutions found on Internets or Mac related websites but still unable to resolve this problem. I am not sure whether there is any application could diagnose this wifi dropout problem. What would be the adequate fibre wifi roundter setting for MacBook Pro?
Appreciate Apple or anyone would share your solution and experience.

The annoying wifi dropout problem. I bought it just a week ago!!!!

Hello. I bought a macbook pro 13 retina a week ago and I get constant wifi dropouts. Every time I need to either turn off and on wifi or use network diagnostics (which shows the ISP and other ticks below it in red). I currently run OS mavericks 10.7.5 but the problem existed with previous 10.7.4 as well. It happens very randomly and not necessarily when system goes to sleep. I have completely reinstalled OS once but the problem still persists. I also tried removing the wifi stuff from keychain and network but none worked. In fact I get full wifi signal without any noise (when you open up wireless diagnostics and click cmd+2, u go to utilities and via performance tab you can see the signal and noise graph over time, which is always consistent for me. No signal drop and no noise at all, even when wifi completely disconnects, no changes can be seen in the diagram). If it helps, I also pinged a website several times and rarely saw any packet loss or timeout, but immediately when wifi is lost you see the corresponding error in the ping: No route to host. One more thing: whenever I try to put TCP/IP on manual or using DHCP with manual address I completely lose the connection which is also visible in the menu bar where it shows a question mark. So any ideas?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Utube wifi dropout - Will Apple fix this via IOS update?

Utube Wifi drop-out seems to be a common problem. My wifi connection on the new iPad is rock steady like the old, that is until I try Utube HD then it'is time for drop-outs galore and 'no connection' messages. Is this something Apple are going to fix?

This is a user to user technical help forum. No one here knows what Apple will do or will not do.
Reporting your problem to Apple support would be the thing to do.

How come they still haven't fixed the ios 6 wifi problem on ios 6.0.1 making me mad -.-

I know apple or the tech support doesn't read this but come on tell them to fix the wifi problem that started from ios 6 and still continuing to ios 6.0.1. I already gave them another feedback like 5 days ago. I really don't want to reconnect to my wifi everytime. I already did everything possibly to fix my wifi problem. I know its IOS 6.0.1 because it started with ios 6 and still not fixed by apple update to 6.0.1.
I have a very limit data plan of 300 MB on at&t and I don't want to go over so I rely on my wifi most of the time.

Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6 or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.

I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.

Ios 7 wifi issues with iphone 5 and iphone 4s

I downloaded and installed ios 7 on 3 iphones and an ipad on Thursday. initially after install all devices wouldn't connect to my homes wifi (but other devices in the home are connected and can access the internet with no issue) I rebooted each device and was able to connect problem soved. WRONG this has been an on going issue, most of the time my devices wont even see my wifi network and when they do, I still can't connect. I have reset wifi settings, I have double checked passwords, I have rebooted the IOS devices and rebooted the router (which was likely not needed as my 2 apple tv's, windows 7 laptop, windows 8 laptop and 2 imacs all are connected with no problem as wel as my ps3, and sony smart tv.
So, 1) is anyone else experiencing this issue 2) have you found a way to resolve the issue 3) has anyone gotten a response from apple support i.e. is this s known issue and are they working on an update to resolve.
I guess my gut instinct to wait a few weeks to install ios was right and I should have listened to my gut
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I agree, Bluetooth is rubbish since 4.2 The phone won't connect properly with my carkit Parrot ck3000 evolution, when the iPhone 4 connects to the the carkit it resets the volume on the carkit to minimum volume. so every time you get in the car you have to manually set the volume!. fix this Apple and when your at it fix the wifi reception on it too its woeful! For all the mouthing Apple does on their features on the phone, it's pretty weak as a phone!

Is ios 5 "wifi direct" compatible?

I'm trying to use "wifi direct" (supposedly a universal connection standard) to connect my iphone 4 ios 5 to sony bravia TV . After connection it shows up on the tv as an unsupported device. Is this correct or have I done something wrong?

From a Wiki on the subject:
Soft AP's can be as simple or as complex as the role requires. A digital picture frame might provide only the most basic services needed to allow digital cameras to connect and upload images. A smart phone that allows data tethering might run a more complex soft AP that adds the ability to bridge to the Internet. The standard also includes WPA2 security and features to control access within corporate networks.[3]Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices can connect one-to-one or one-to-many and not all connected products need to be Wi-Fi Direct-certified. One Wi-Fi Direct enabled device can connect to legacy Wi-Fi certified devices.
That's why I was asking. Not because I was too stupid to read a list. As anyone who has used computers for any length of time knows, just because something isn't "certified" doesn't necessarily mean it isn't compatible.
Thank you for all of your prompt answers. Just wondering, Are you this condescending to everyone or just me in particular?
