IPhone 6 wifi slow/connectivity issues

I am new to the Apple family, and i just bought the iPhone 6. I am experiencing frustrating amount of WiFi problems with this phone. I updated to iOS 8.1 last night hoping the problem goes away but it still persists.
I am connected to the home WiFi, but the webpage loading/receiving Whatsapp messages/accessing App Store is mind-numbingly slow on a good day, and refuses to load anything when i desperately need it. My WiFi works perfectly with all other devices connected on the network. Including my old phone.
I have tried all the methods i could find online.
Turn Wi-Fi off and on
Forget WiFi network and connect again
Reset Network Settings
Change DNS
Restore from iTunes Backup
Restore as a new device
Turning router off and on
Network is on WPA2
Frankly, i have had it with Apple. I am regretting buying this. I am burning through my LTE data, and with more than 20 days on the month cycle and less than 1 gig of data left, i am looking at a huge amount for the mobile bill if the issue doesn't get sorted soon.
Is there any other suggestion? Any other idea? Or will i just have to smash this piece of crap to bits and cry over dollars spent over nothing?

I should add that after backing up my data from my old iPhone 5 through iTunes and then migrating the data through iTunes to my new iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 seemed to recognize WiFi hotspots I'd previously used with my iPhone 5, but didn't take the passwords with it. That is, for each WiFi hotspot, it would try to connect to the hotspot but would tell me that the password was wrong/had to be re-entered. I wasn't sure whether this was a bug or whether it was somehow by design; and I assumed that, if it were a bug, it was unrelated to the issues I mentioned in my previous post. Now I'm less sure that they're unrelated.

    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

  • IPhone 4 voice/data connection issues?

    I've had my iPhone 4 for around 6 months now. Lately I've been dropping a lot of out-going calls and have had some issues receiving calls in the last few days. Today I've had 3 voice mail notifications from people who have tried to call me and could not get through. It rings through to voicemail and sends me a notification after they're done recording. I have anywhere from 2 to 4 service bars, usually averaging at 3 in this location.
    On top of the voice and call issues, I've been having problems with GPS and location services lately, too. I use the Waze app for directions. My phone will register 3G data signal, but none of the apps that use GPS can find any location. I have Location Service turned on in settings and have no problem starting my routes when I have wifi signal at home before I leave.
    Phone details:
    iPhone 4 8GB
    Sprint Network
    1 GB space available

    Hi chloedaly, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like your iPhone 4 isn't connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've tried many good troubleshooting steps, including resetting the router and iPhone, updating iOS, resetting network settings and checking settings. 
    If you haven't already, make sure that other devices can connect to your Wi-Fi network. Also, try connecting to Wi-Fi networks in other locations using your iPhone. These steps will help isolate the issue to your iPhone or your Wi-Fi network (or internet service provider), and can be found at this link:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
    If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network but you can’t get online, try to use your Wi-Fi network on other devices. If you can’t get online using your other devices, there might be a service outage. Call your cable company or internet provider for help.
    Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
    If other Apple devices have trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi network, you may want to take a look at the settings using this article as reference:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
    If other devices can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and your iPhone cannot connect to other networks, try backing up the data on your iPhone and restoring iOS to factory settings using the steps found here:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • IPhone 5 WiFi Stopped connecting to Home WiFi

    So as of a few months ago, my Iphone 5 stopped connected to many WiFi networks (hotels, Free WiFi etc). I thought this was a network load issue. As of about a week or so ago, it stopped connecting to my Home WiFi.
    I have tried EVERYthing. Reset network settings. Reset router. Power cycled both several times. Hard wipe and restore. Static IP. Changed password of network. Changed SSID of network. Changed WiFi version. Changed Channel. Changed security settings of network (WPA/WPA2/WEP). Another iPad running older versions of the OS has no problem connecting to the network and neither does the MAC and a samsung galaxy.
    It still does not work on SOME networks. It DOES WORK on enterprise networks and other places.
    I went into the genius bar this am - RUDE customer service. Didnt understand the problem. Brought the manager over and he didnt have a solution either. I am hoping someone on the communities has an answer.
    Thanks!!!

    I'm having the EXACT same problem!  My iPhone 5 used to connect easily to our and every other network till about a month ago.  Now it rarely connects and if it does, is showing speeds of 0.25/0.25 Mbps.  There is another iPhone 5, two 5c's, an old iPad, and several computers at our house and NONE of them have a problem connecting. I read about this problem on another forum, tried all the suggested fixes and nothing helps.  Genius bar is the next stop.  I'll let you know what they say...

  • IPhone 6 3G & LTE Connectivity issue

    We purchased an iPhone 6 the day they were released. My son said the 3G and LTE stopped working about 3 days after getting it. Wifi is still functional.  We have tried everything to reset the system and any little work-arounds we have seen. Nothing works. He installed IOS 8.0.2 and we were under the impression that would solve the problem.  Nope!  Any other ideas as to how to solve this?  I'm heading to my Bell store this week for further investigation but it would be great to solve it before then.

    Hey there tracturk,
    It sounds like the cellular data on your sons iPhone 6 is not functioning properly even after you reset the phone and updated to iOS 8.0.2. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue with the phone:
    iPhone cellular data connection issues
    Follow these steps for help with cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, test to see if your iPhone still has the issue.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Make sure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update: Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update: Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Resetting network settings on your device will erase all current saved settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferred networks, and VPN settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Persistent WiFi/AirPort connectivity issues

    If anyone has any input that could help me or perhaps reduce my ignorance, it would be much appreciated.
    My Black MacBook has had persistent wireless connectivity issues since I purchased it almost 2 years ago. Even when it shows 3 or 4 bars in my AirPort preferences, it has rather slow page-loading abilities.
    For some reason, if I keep selecting my preferred network from my AirPort menu (even when it has NOT dropped the network), that tends to speed up my page load rapidly, but only for a couple of seconds.
    It fares a little better when connected directly with Ethernet, but still pretty poor, to the point that I am often mocked by my PC-using friends.
    Is there a software update I need? Or a network accessory I can purchase? Or can I replace my built-in wireless card? I am open to anything at this point. Thanks in advance,
    K.

    Have you tried connecting directly to your router with an Ethernet cable to see if wired performance is significantly better than wireless? I don't see any other inexpensive solutions.
    Spending several hundred dollars or more to upgrade your home router and adding RAM and a new hard drive two-year-old computer is certainly cheaper than buying a new computer outright, but it DOES NOT give you any guarantee of the faster online and video performance you seek.
    An 802.11 'n' router (with a gigabit wired connections) would probably help connection speed, IF you have a high-speed internet provider with one of the faster DSL or cable services. The fastest 'n' routers provide up to 300Mbit/sec transfer rates, compared with 54Mbit rates for most of the 'b/g' routers, and some higher-end routers (like the Apple AirPort Extreme) support dual band MIMO for multiple simultaneous connections by the same computer, which provides a potential for greater performance. Stop by an Apple store and ask for a demonstration _with your MacBook_ to see if you experience a enough difference to justify the expenditure.
    You have to click the "triangle" after the Intel ICH8-M AHCI to see the detailed drive information dropdown. You seem to have plenty of hard drive space available, but I'm guessing you have a 5400 rpm drive. Upgrading to a 7200 rpm drive would help overall system performance some with faster read and write times, but you really don't need extra space at the moment.
    Upgrading to 4Gb RAM could also help if you run lots of programs simultaneously, but might not provide noticeable gains for browsing and online video, since you're already at 2Gb.
    Of course there is not an upgrade to the GMA 3100 chipset and 144Mb of video ram. It is better than my GMA 950 with 64Mb, but not as good as newer/faster/better MacBook and MacBook Pro models with faster microprocessors and more sophisticated nVidia video chipsets from Apple.

  • IPhone 5 WIFI slow and sometimes doesn't connect

    Hi
    Wierd one this... my iPhone 5 (IOS 7.0.4) has been working absolutely fine since I have had it... a few days ago I started experiencing VERY slow download rates via my home Wi-fi connection. Instead of 20+ megabits/s that I previously got, it has dropped down to 0.2 at best. In addition to this, the wi-fi connection (which is at full bars, and when next to the router) will just drop. When I try and reconnect, I get the "Unable to Connect message".
    My wife has an iPhone 5 too, and she gets 20+ megabits/s constantly using the same connection, as does my iPad Air and Macbook Pro. 3G - not a problem at all.
    I have tried the following but still no joy:
    1) Different Wi-fi network - at work, I get 20+ megabit/s and no problems.
    2) Reset all Settings
    3) Restore from New (not using an existing backup)
    4) Changed the router to a different type
    5) Static IP address
    6) Renew Lease
    Tearing my hair out.... part of me thinks hardware issue, but why does it work ok on my Work network?
    Any thoughts, please?

  • I am going to get a replacement for my iphone 5C, for data connection issues. Can I get an 5S, instead of antother 5C as a replacement?

    Hello, I have been having issues with my iPhone 5C for about a month now. I have unlimited everything, including data, & so randomly, starting about 2 weeks ago, my data basically does not work for any apps, besides like iMessage & Safari. So like if I have full LTE signal, I can try to open the Instagram app, and it will tell me "no internet connection", & it tells me that with ANY app, besides iMessage & Safari. Which is super frustrating, especially when I try to use like Maps or something & it jut does not load, & tells me that "there is not an internet connection", so I have to use apps & stuff only on wifi, in order for them to work. I went to the Sprint store, and had them try and update the data profile, reset data network, soft reset, etc (they basically did everything that I did), & they could NOT figure out what was wrong with my phone. So, they looked into my warranty information, and told me to take my phone to the Apple Store, and just get a replacement & that it would cost me only $50, since it is still covered under warranty. I am not up for an upgrade until April of 2016, & as far as I know, when it comes to replacements, Apple will either give me a new/refurbished iPhone 5C as a replacement. I don't really mind having to pay a little extra if I have to, in order to get a 5S , & I also don't care if the 5S would be either new or refurbished. So, my question is, could I maybe get a 5S as a replacement, instead of another 5C?

  • IPhone 5 wifi not connecting automatically/disconnecting

    I have an iPhone 5 which I got I think last August, and it is fully updated in the software. For the past few days it has been refusing to connect automatically to both my home and school networks. Sometimes it won't even find the networks without airplane mode (not just wifi) being toggled on and off. If it does connect it will randomly disconnect very frequently. I originally thought it was just the wifi at my new place, since my room doesn't have amazing connection, but my laptop still will connect in the same place where my phone will not. It also never before had trouble connecting to my school wifi, which it does now. It's incredibly annoying and running up my data usage, so I would very much like to fix this. I've tried toggling wifi, airplane mode, turning the phone on and off, forgetting and rejoining the wireless networks, and completely resetting network settings.

        I'm sorry to learn of the WiFi issues you are experiencing with your phone ehrhar! Let's reset network setting and test. http://vz.to/OPvlTr

  • IPhone 5 wifi not connecting unless extremely close to router...?

    I've had my iPhone 5 for about 6 months. I've never experienced any problems at all with it.
    Over the last week, I've had major wifi problems. My phone only connects to my home wifi if I'm sitting next to the router, like a 7 foot radius from it. The minute I walk out of the room, it drops first to a low wifi signal, then shows the loading circle next to the wifi symbol, and then goes to either 3G or LTE.
    The thing is, even when it goes to LTE or 3G, the signal is at the lowest bar as if there's no service at all.... sometimes, I'll have absolutely none.
    There are 8 Apple devices in my family and every single one of them works perfectly with my home wifi no matter where I am in the house or in friend's houses with other home wifis...except mine!
    I've never had this problem until recently so I'm not sure what triggered it.
    Went to Verizon and they basically told me I was mistaken because it was working on their wifi (of course), so although I explained the situation,  it was working while I was there, so they didn't believe me per say. They told me to call tech support if it kept happening and they did a soft reset on my phone. As soon as I got home, my wifi disappeared immediately and switched to low-service LTE.
    I'm afraid if I go to the Apple store, it'll cost me to replace my phone OR they won't believe me or "fix" it, or they'll tell me some "easy fix" that actually doesn't work. Main problem is,  I'm SURE their wifi will work on my phone so they won't be able to see what I mean when I say it's not working.
    I've read of others with this problem and I've tried putting it on airplane mode, turning off, turning on, turning off airplane mode and turning on wifi. I've reset it. I've changed some wifi settings and done other random things but everything just works for about 3 minutes and then it goes right back to square one.
    So... what should I do?
    Thanks in advance-
    Beth

    Any luck finding the solution to this?  I cannot connect to my home wifi unless my Mac is already connected.  I don't get it.

  • WIFI intermittent connectivity issues after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2

    Hi,
    WIFI seems to be dropping a lot after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I even took the iPad back to Apple and they replaced it with a new one with iOS7, which was working fine, then the same problem resurfaced after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I can't use my iPad in the evening at all.
    My iPhone is fine after the upgrade though.
    Clearly an iOS8 software issuse on iPads?
    Thanks

    Similar thing happened to me..  Seems like the bug has not been solved.. I managed to restore to iOS 8 and this resolved the issue, at least for the time-being!
         Apple team, my sincere request to you:Please attend this bug asap. It really dissolves the purpose  of an iPhone..
    Keeping my fingres crossed till then!

  • IPhone 5 wifi auto connect

    My new iphone 5 connects to my work WPA2 enterprise wifi when I manually select the network in settings, but if I walk off campus and then return, the phone does not automoatically detect and re-connect to the same wifi network.  I've already done general>reset>reset network settings to no avail.
    Any suggestion on how to make iphone 5 automatically reconnect to known wifi networks?

    I'm having the same problem with both of our new iphone 5s.  I've seen a fair amount of discussion in other places online as well.  Have you had a resolution to this problem?
