IOS8.1 WiFi issues persist

Does anyone see WiFi issues like slowness, poor signal strength even while you are near the router? I see these issues with iPhone 5s iOS8.1 update. The problem has been since iOS8 but had never seen this in iOS7.1.2. Looks like some serious issue here.
Sometimes WiFi works in office but at home it just doesn't work. On the home network i have my laptop and other iphone 4s which work perfectly fine though. So looks like a iOS 8.x issue for iPhone 5s.
Apple why dont you fix is right when you say "resolves WiFi performance issues on iphones with some base stations". Do a RCA please and fix this as my phone is unusable at home network.

I think I am going to sell all Pads and iPhones to move to android. This is ridiculous. Wifi is still the same issue slow, Safari still freezing sometimes. the problems still have not gotten fixed. Wasting so much time and money to spend on these Apple products and don't get the service the way is supposed to be. 3 dam failure continuous updates creating more bugs and glitches, wifi issue getting worse. I feel like apple stealing people money and run away by providing an awful service. If the iOS 8 is not ready don't release, don't just release and destroy people money and time. We spent thousand of $ for your product lol. Don't except anymore update from Apple lol

IPhone 5 Wifi issues persist after 6.0.1

I have been having these issues. I am finding certain apps are always slow downloading whereas others download quickly all the time. It is most notable with podcasts where some podcasts take forever to download (always the same ones) whereas others always download quickly. I have my iPhone 4S right next to my iPhone 5 on the same network and, for example, an 80mb Vergecast podcast will take 90 minutes to download on the iPhone 5 but only 2 minutes on the 4S. Both are running iOS6. The Engadget podcast of similar size will download on both in 2 minutes. I have this same thing happening with many podcasts. Ironically when I go on the network in the Apple Store the problem doesn't exist. I do have a WPA2 network at home but even when I turn off the WPA2 the problem persists. I have had the iPhone 5 replaced already five times and it hasn't resolved the issue. Not sure if it is hardware or software - as it's possible the replacements were part of the same bad batch. I don't notice the problem during basic web browsing or emailing which is probably why many users aren't noticing the problem. My wife, for example, is not a power user and hadn't noticed the issue but when I tested her iPhone 5 it has the same issues. I have now tested 4 friends iPhone 5s as well as my own on a total of 5 different wifi networks and the problem persists across all of them. Updating to 6.0.1 has not fixed the issue. It sounds like maybe some kind of DNS issue possibly?

I have the same issue. I think that the iphone 5 doesn't like specific routers, but I just can't pin point what the difference is between the routers. So far, I have tried 5 different routers with WPA2 and 3 of them works just fine while the other 2 have problems. Very weird ....

10.10.2 - WiFi Issues Persisting

My rMBP Late 13 13in Yosemite 10.10.2's Wi-Fi is still atrocious at connecting to my router, it's so horrible that it enjoys kicking itself off.
Errors I keep getting in the console is related to netbiosd shutting down and it self-assigns an IP.
Again, this isn't happening on Mavericks. This disappoints me even more despite Apple's claim is that they have "fixed" this issue! This is just misleading information for other users with this problem!
This isn't a good thing, Apple. You're disappointing not just me, but possibly others with this issue we're facing.
I've done everything asked around here, neither worked and neither did checking my router's settings.
It's all down to Yosemite itself. Not really having fun at all.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Wifi Issue Persists after Updated to IOS 6.1.2

Hey guys.
My iphone 4s has been acting weird for over a week now. The wifi comes on for a few moments and then disappears and my phone cannot detect or list the wifi spots. I have tried resetting network connections and restoring my phone and updating. However, none of these work and I have updated my router firmware as well this morning and ran diagnose tests on my router but it's fine. My wifi works fine on my Ipod touch 4g. I have tried turning the airplane option on and off as well too on my phone but nothing works. Any other solutions or advice? Thank you!

o.o; okay thanks ;o. hmm do you know if they charge if i take it to an apple store for an evaluation?
Forgot to mention that my phone works when it's at school though. I don't have a problem connecting to the school's wifi just at home.

Any fix for wifi issues with ios8?

Just submitting another questions asking for help with IOS8 wifi issues. Nobody from Apple has commented or acknowledged any issues with wifi, so we, the users, are left to fend for ourselves.
My specific issue is that 5GHz Wireless N seems to have incredibly short range, and 2.4GHZ Wireless N cuts out after about 3 seconds of use. I have tried all of the fixes described in every post I can find. I've deleted network settings, I've completely wiped the phone and started from scratch, I've done everything possible.
Now that wifi doesn't work with IOS8 I can no longer use my iPhone 5 with AirPlay our any of my other devices in my home. The fact that Apple has refused to say anything about the problem, and the fact that they are blocking users from rolling back shows a level of arrogance that's absolutely amazing. Thankfully this is all happening before I bought an iPhone6, which I'm now seriously considering avoiding if this experience is any indication of Apple's commitment to quality.
Are there any other tricks out there to get 2.4Ghz working? I know that we, the poor users of Apple products, are on our own, so I'm hoping that someone can help.

I got iPhone 6 IOS8 [ not updated ] for a few months now worked fine until now WiFi not working in my home tried reset , turning off phone , nothing worked , Got it to work by unplugging the router WiFi Box unit for a few seconds ! works like a charm now , Super fast

IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up. All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

Is Apple aware of the Wifi issue with the IOS8 upgrade?

Is Apple aware of the WiFi issue with the IOS8 update? If so, what are the doing about it?

Ipad, wifi stops working and I have to restart my iPad and log in again. It only stays logged into my wifi for a short while then it drops it again. I followed instructions from other threads to reset my IPad and my router...still having issues. The same thing happened the last time I updated my IOS.

Persistent WiFi Issues

Apple! In the name of all that is HOLY, please fix wifi in Lion. There have been persistent wifi issues since the last Leopard OS update.

One last detail, connectivity through my iPhone's hotspot works completely fine. No idea if that is related / helpful in any way.

Iphone 5S have wifi issue afetr upgraded to IOS 8. Does Apple know about this?? Its really frustrating the signal is weak.

If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

X240 wifi issues

I have often noticed that this laptop (win8) faces issues trying to connect with wifi when other cheaper devices (older laptops, phones) have no such difficulty. Generally this happens in cafes so the issue is bearable but of late I have started facing it in my home (netgear router). Considering how expensive this laptop is I find it absolutely unacceptable that its performance should be so pedestrian. Let me explain the issue. Laptop can't connect with home network when every other device I have connects to it. Specifically, it displays that ridiculous yellow exclamation mark which essentially means "I am going to throw a massive tantrum because I am a rich spoiled brat." Troubleshooting it comes up with the generic sounding error "Wi/Fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration". Tried several solutions given online but none works. Have also updated the driver to the Intel one given on Lenoveo's site but doesn't help. The network adapter is N-7260 which, I am led to believe from the forums here at Lenovo, is an absolute POS? Anyway, I'd really appreciate any help here, short of which I will be forced never to consider a Lenovo again (I've had several before.)

Hi Ankit_iitg,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with Wifi on your ThinkPad X240.
Please let us know is the issue persists only in your home network or it is occurring with all Wifi network?
If this you are facing only in your home network, then I suggest you to check with updating the Netgear router Firmware.
Also check with disabling any antivirus which is having firewall in it. Please let us know the status.
Hope to hear back soon!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

IPad 3 IOS8.x issues

I Have been having issues with the ios8.x update. After the initial update I started having things like the button that ret urn you to home taking several pushes. also links text icons taking several pushes too. That was tolerabl, then 8.1 came out. I read about it and It seemed it might fix most of my issues. Well it DID NOT!!!! As a mater of fact it added an issue or two. Like not enough memory when I am on a web page. This has never happened ever. I have a 64gig wi-fi iPad3. IIs anyone else having this same issues?

Apple says small number of Apple TVs have WiFi issues, opens replacement program

I have an AppleTV 3rd generation with issues of connectivity when I use the Radio. Every 10 or 15 minutes disconnects from showing an error on the screen, I research on the internet and apparently there is a program to replace some devices due a known malfuncion with the WiFi.
I always blamed to my cheap router and the poor internet connection I had in my former country Argentina. Now i moved to Chile and i have a nice Cisco/Linksys router and the issue persists.
Please check the links below about the replacement program:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2034731/report-apple-replacing-some-third-gen-ap ple-tv-units-with-wi-fi-issues.html
http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/15/apple-says-small-number-of-apple-tvs-have-wifi-iss ues-opens-replacement-program/
I would like to know if this program exists and also if my device is under this program.
The serial number of my AppleTV is C0*****RHN.
<Edited by host>

That program was from over a year ago, it is no longer running. It still required proper troubleshooting to occur. It wouldn't have to do with an internet connection as this an issue with the local/wifi network, a cheap router will impact performance but there are other factors.
Using ethernet will help to see if there's a wifi issue. Get a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar, look for signal strength and noise.
If your network looks ok then I would take to Apple for testing, if it is found to be defective then they are usually good about replacement.

MacBook (Early 2006) Wifi Issue Running on OSX 10.6.8

I have a MacBook (Early 2006) upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I began to notice that sometimes the Wifi connection would stop function properly. There would be no internet connectivity and won't dectect any Airport Extremes or Express from the Airport Utility. And this happens quite often. However, the Wifi icon in the taskbar shows that the connection is intact and no errors is indicated!
It's quite frustrating since it's an intermittent issue.
The following actions seems to help a little but the issue persists:
Jumping between different websites
Wait a while
Disconnecting and then connecting to the same Wifi connection
The methods I've tried and failed to fix the issue so far:
Changing the Wifi channels
Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller)
Resetting the PRAM and NVRAM
I'm using the Airport Extreme as the main router and I have several Airport Express that extends the network via Ethernet cable.
Your help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Anyone?

WiFi Issue with S850

I am facing WiFi issues with my S850 phone. It does connect to wifi network but browsing does not work. It is same for all the wifi networks. I am not able to browse internet or any other work which req net connectivity,

can you try do a factory restore then just use the phone without changing anything in settings. I am not sure if this is caused by settings or a hardware issue.
If after doing a factory reset and problem persist then bring it to the service center.
