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:

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

  • IPad 3, iOS 5.1.1, wifi issues- just today

    I have an iPad 3 running on ios5.1.1
    Yesterday I synced it to my computer to renew my backups.
    Today i arrived from work and went on the iPad to find out that i cannot load any pages that uses internet, like Safari, i cannot open pages at all.
    I can see that the wifi is being dropped and connected to repeatedly. I turned off wifi for a minute and turned it on, tried to connect to my router and its taking a long time to connect, sometimes never connecting at all.
    I have done the following:
    Rebooted iPad(press sleep>slide>...>press in to turn on)
    Turned wifi on and off
    Rebooted my router(6x)
    Disconnected all wired and wireless devices that were connected to the router.
    Connected to my iPhone 5's 'Personal Hotspot'= I was able to open pages on Safari.
    Is there anybody out here that is having same problem as me?
    Whats wrong with it?
    What should i do?

    go into your router manager:
    type 192.168.0.1 into your browser,
    log in as the administrator (default is usernamer=admin; password=password)
    you should find a "check for upgrades" or something similar and follow the instructions

  • IOS 6.0.1 WiFi Issue

    Ugh, after updating my iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1 I thought that bugs like WiFI problem will be fixed , but I was so Disappointed that its not yet fixed. After a minute of standby mode of the iPad ,WiFi is turning off and then. When I wake it up, WiFi is off but later In a second wifi will turn on. C'mon apple...

    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

  • Ongoing WiFi issues and Apple Support's lack of support!

    Hi All,
    I bought my MacBook Air in July/August 2012 (i7, 8GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, Mountain Lion). Since the first day, I have had issues with wifi connectivity. My primary use was at the university in Australia, where I had frequent drop outs and at times no connection at all. the university does not officially support Apple products and I was stuck with Apple support asking me to check with network administrators. I was also advised to re-install the OS, reset PRAM etc with no improvements. Then I had a 4 month stint as an exchange student in an Indian university. As i was not using my laptop at the university, I couldnt monitor the WiFi connectivity in these 4 months. Once back in Australia in January 2013, the issue surfaced again. Multiple conversations with Apple Support led me to another 4 re-installations and replacing my router with an uber expensive one. The reasons given by Apple were either the router's quality or interference from other networks. The new router supported 5Ghz band and had no intereference what so ever. I started to notice that the connectivity is far better with the wifi signal showing full range, but internet does not work. All is well if I am sitting right next to the router. The minute i move 5-8 metres away, Internet becomes super slow (from 12-14 Mbps to 1-2 Mbps on speedtest.net) and eventually does not load. At the same time, all other devices, including my iphone 5, ipad 2, ipad mini and other PCs in the apartment works perfectly fine.
    On speaking to Apple Support, i was asked to conduct SNR checks and found out that the SNR readings fluctuate like ****. From 1-2 to 25-30. The Signal strength on my MacBook Air stays at -75dB to -65 dB. Armed with this info, the Airport card was replaced. But the issue still persists. The MacBook Air is presently at Apple waiting to get its display (antennas are embedded here) replaced. But I have lost total confidence in Apple. Is there anyone who had similar issues and found a stable solution? Other symptoms which may be connected are Mail becoming nonresposive intermitently, Power Nap function not working, battery life never more than 4 hours.
    Apple Support has been appalling in a very courteous manner. Even though the commincation and care they took to talk to me, the issue hasnt been solved and its been 11 months!!
    Any comments, advices and support will be appreciated.
    Thank You!

    I am sorry, maybe my comment was vague. I am an engineer too albiet in the medical devices sector. Problem for me is that, I have been talking to Apple for about 11 months now. If you know where I live and how far the Apple Store is, you'd understand my frustration. I have been accomodating so far and do love the customer service experience I get from Apple. I am a proud owner of 2 iPads, an iPad mini, an iPod classic, an iPod Touch, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 besides the MacBook Air. They are the most courteous and receptive Customer Service Reps out there. But all the courtesy does not hide the fact that my MBA is 11 months old and still having an issue starting 11 monthds ago. I had taken this machine to the stores numerous times. With the last week, i was getting to a point where I felt I have done enough to try everything except replacement of the machine to try fixing this issue. But now, Apple wont play ball. the rep said, i quote "your machine is almost a year old and you cant expect Apple to replace it". they have support call documents to prove that i have been talking to them about the issue since 11 months and to top it all, I have also purchased the $279 extended warranty. At the time of purchase the rep promised me that 'I would be send a box containing a loan machine while yours can be sent to us and fixed'. if you go through my posts here in mac forum, I had raised the issue here as well.
    Now coming to the question, I have exhausted my options with Apple support and wanted to know if anyone else had the same issue and found a fix. With that maybe i can stop pulling my hair apart - realistically, stop myself from making another long trip to the Apple Store.

  • 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.

  • IPad 2 cannot connect to Wifi before and after updating  PLEASE HELP

    i have been using iOS 5.1.1 till today.. the connection to wifi stopped working.. it slowly faded away and today i woke up and could not connect to My wifi at all, i have decided to update my iPad to iOS 7.0.4 but the problem is there
    what should i doo ??

    It could be a problem with your WiFi router or your iPad.
    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • 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?

  • Unresolved question: all bookmarks on Ipad iOS 6.1.2 are gone and new one cannot be created

    Hi, I'll take my chances on this one. There are several posts on the forum addressing this issue. But for me none of them has helped.
    By posting this question again, I am hopeful someone can help, I am desperate here:
    The issue is bookmarks in Safari in iOs 6.1.2. (Actually, the problem was alreday there in 6.1.1) :
    All bookmars are gone, and I am not able to create new bookmarks and/or bookmark folders.
    I have now tried all tips I have found here in the support forum, to get my bookmarks back:
    1. I have reset my iPad
    2. I have deleted cockies and data (several times)
    3. I have turned Safari on/off in iCloud sync settings on the iPad
    4. I have tried to create new bookmarks and new bookmark folder, but noting gets saved
    Now, what to do??

    Try simply terminating and restarting Safari:
    1. Press the Home button
    2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
    3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
    4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
    5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

  • My macbook pro and iphone4 after newest ios update has had wifi issues, very very snail pace slow

    um i recently last week? updated my macbook pro and my iphone 4 to lastest ios, and ever since then my wifi has been slow,
    by this i mean, when i click anything, it takes a long long time to load a page, and even my facebook (arrived via bookmarks bar) so i load the same way as before, page often loads imcomplete, or not at all, on my iphone its so bad i cant even check my email, or the weather app, but on my ipod4, it works fine, cuz i have not updated the ios on the ipod touch 4th gen
    is anyone else having these issues? so far ive been able to confirm (via xbox 360) that wifi signal is fine, strong and normal..... did apple screw up my devices? and if so? please tell me how i fix this, streaming my weekly 13 episodes of tv shows is now like dead slow, with every 5-8 seconds of video watching, theres another 30-40 seconds of SPINNING circle... i am so fed up
    im a creature of habit, ive not changed the way i do things, the location of my computer, nothing, everything is as it was 2 weeks ago.... some-buddy help!?

    I refer you to the TM expert
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
    As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
    Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

  • Is there any way to run Siri on my iPad(iOS 6) with Local WiFi Network which requires a proxy sever and a port(8080) to connect to the internet?

    I create the WiFi network using the internet sharing option in my Macbook Pro from a local ethernet connection..and set the HTTP proxy settings in my new iPad.Siri runs like a charm on an other WiFi connection which doesnt require proxy but on my University connection it says that it cant handle any requests right now..

    We were having the same problem here at the School I work at.  By looking at some traffic logs and doing some internal testing, it appears Siri attempts to make a direct connection to the outside network using HTTPS (port 443), without using any of the proxy settings you may have configured on the Wifi network.
    We've reported it as a bug to Apple but haven't heard anything back yet.
    To get around it in the meantime you'll have to punch a hole in your firewall to allow Siri traffic through.
    Currently Siri appears to contact IP address 17.174.4.14 over port 443.  The IP address may change in the future, but that will at least get you up and going for now.  We went ahead and opened the entire 17.174.4.0/24 network, as the entire block of addressess is owned by Apple.
    Again, there is no gaurentee that this will not change in the future and break again.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone 4S and this iOS 7.1 update - wifi issues

    Well first it happened to my wife's 4S on iOS 6 updates, and now me on iOS 7.1 update - lost the wifi capability on my 4S too.  I've looked through the various posts on these forums of people suffering the same problem over and over and over again.  "Mr Apple" if these updates are not compatible with certain devices then at least have the common decency to tell us so.  I for one have had enough of sticking iPhones in the freezer every other day, and I'm certainly not going to do that with two broken 4S's now.  So I'm off to the Samsung store to buy a Galaxy.....  nuff said......

    Hi,
    I have an IPhone 4 and I updated it to IOS 7.1 about a week ago and since this update the IPhone keeps on rebooting every time I use apps such as Facebook, Twitter or Whatsapp. It is very annoying to see your IPhone reboot twice or more times a day while you are working and it seems that a plausible solution is to go back to the previous version of IOS. If you have a different solution, please let us know because I'm not the only IPhone user with this problem. Thanks!

  • IOS 6.1.2 WIFI Issue with Iphone 4s

    SInce I updated my phone to ios 6.1.2 my wifi gets dropped or the button itself gets greyed out. I dont know what to do. Shuld wait for ios 6.1.3 or what?
    This is the first time i am facing such an issue.  Apple customer care is also not able to solve the issue? Why every now and then this happens with apple device ?
    Does apple takes its users for granted by releasing its software without having proper checks?
    However it is quite surprising to know that my Ipad 4th Generation is working fine with 6.1.2. software.
    Please help if anyone knows the solution.

    Go to settings, reset, reset network settings. As the other suggestion said.
    If its greyed out here is a link below.

  • RD client 8.1.4 on Ipad IOS 8.0.2 login issue

    I recently updated my Ipad to IOS 8 and am now having issues logging in to my work computer (It worked with IOS 7). I tried an app from a different publisher and have no issues, but when I try and use the Microsoft one it says the user name and password
    did not work. I have tried it multiple times and it doesn't work. I even deleted the settings I had and re-installed the app and still no luck. It doesn't seem to be a VPN/work network issue because I can get it working from a different app.
    Please help. Thanks

  • Iphone 5s with ios 8.0.2: wifi slower and can't connect

    Hi all,
    I regret that I updating my iphone 5s to ios 8.0.2 last night. Now, I'm facing an issue when using wifi.
    It always disconnected from the router and it's slower.
    I can't connect to some wifi also, it just showing the load without connecting to the wifi.
    I did a fresh install, reset everything but didn't help much.
    Amazingly 3G(I know it's lame, I live in the third world country) is better than the wifi.
    anyone else facing the issue?

    Hey Karrett,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone wont connect to the iTunes Store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
