Slow WiFi on iPhone 6

I have a new iPhone 6, an iPad Air, iPad 4, iPhone 5S. They are all running iOS 8. The iPhone 5s and the iPad 4 have very speedy WiFi (90-100mbps). The iPhone 6 gets about 9mbps down. I read a bit about this and reset the network settings yesterday and it improved. After turning it on today, it's back to being slow. It doesn't drop the connection but being ten times slower than the older devices I have is puzzling.
After the update to iOS 8 on my iPad Air, it too had this problem but I reset network connections and it is still quite good. I wonder if this is a software or hardware problem and if anyone else is experiencing slow WiFi on the iPhone 6. The LTE on AT&T is quite good 60-70 down, 20+ up. Thanks.

How do you reset the network connections? Is it on the phone? My phone can't see the wifi at all - though it is 1 foot away. A hard reset lets it see it agaian - sometimes.

FIX - slow wifi on iPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2

ive had a problem with my wifi since I bought the iphone 6. I get good speeds for a time, then it drops off and gets slow again. Tried resetting anything and everything. Then I did this: went to my browser, typed in "what's my ip", copied my ip address and pasted in my address bar. Logged into my Verizon acct. the user name should be admin and the password should be a mix of letters and numbers on your router, unless you've changed these user names and passwords. Once logged in I went to advanced wireless settings and changed my security settings from WEP to WPA2 and reset my password to a 16 digit key. Save the settings and log out. Then since I have a pc I changed the settings on my wifi to match the settings I just changed. Then I went into my iPhone's settings < general < reset < reset network settings. and that's it. Been doing speed tests and it been working fine. Hope this helps yall.

What was the result by going to the Apple Genius Bar ?
Our experience with iPhone 6:
Very slow wifi on iPhone 6 on several different wifi networks, home and work and others. Cannot be a WEP-WPA2 issue, must be an iPhone6 issue. Also have experienced 6 Mbps recently and 22 Mbps last month, seems to be variable and getting worse.
PS- iPhone 5 on very same home network gave 57 Mbps when iPhone 6 gave 6 Mbps !

Slow wifi in iPhone 5s after upgraded to iOS 8

I Have upgraded my iPhone 5s recently but my wifi becomes drastically slow i tried to solve this problem by resetting the networking and by turning off the location services of networking but it remains for a while after that a spinning wheel comes and everything becomes as it was plz answer it immediately I really cant check my Facebook properly

Before trying a restore, you could download this app: https://itunes.apple.com/app/speedtest-net-mobile-speed/id300704847?mt=8
Do a few speed tests between 2/5 min. This will clarify if your iPhone is getting a good speed (aside your on screen signal).

Extremely slow Wifi on iPhone 3GS

Since upgrading from the iPhone 3G to a 3GS I've come to realise that the wifi performance is very poor compared to earlier models.
I am talking about measured speed, rather than signal performance, for signal performance the 3GS actually seems slightly better than my 3G - eg it will connect to a base station from further away than the 3G, but when both are in range the 3GS is MUCH slower.
Using the speedtest.net app on a 16Mbit ADSL2+ connection (which gives a measured performance of 14.5Mbit on a Macbook pro on the SAME wifi network) I get the following results:
iPod Touch 1st Gen:
Download: 7448 kbps
Upload: 923 kbps
iPhone 3G:
Download: 5938 kbps
Upload: 859 kbps
iPhone 3GS:
Download: 1029 kbps
Upload: 316 kbps
Clearly a big descrepancy here, with the iPod Touch almost 6 times faster in throughput, and the iPhone 3G not far behind.
This is on an 802.11g network using a netgear router and WPA-PSK, but I have also tried an Airport Express with no significant change.
Is anyone else noticing this problem ?

Simon

No, it's definately connected to wifi, besides, I'm not on AT&T as I'm not in the USA
I've tested it in airplane mode as well to be sure it really is connecting by wifi.
The way I see it, it's either a hardware fault in my specific phone, or a driver/firmware issue in the 3GS - one of the things that changed from the 3G to the 3GS is that there is a different wifi chipset, and it may be that the drivers are still immature.
Waiting patiently on 3.1....

It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem?

My experience is just the opposite - much faster WiFi when using "n" protocol. See this:

Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.

Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.

I have heard rumours of an 8.1 update for developers. I just found another bug in 10.9.5. I am beginning to think that nobody should touch any update from Apple until they can get their very serious Q/A problems sorted out. This is getting bad.

Slow wifi issue iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 6!

Hello, since the iOS 8.0.2 update, the wifi id very very slow on my iPhone 6!!!
Can you fix this problem??
best regards,
laurent

Restarting the phone "temprarily" fixes the problem.
Upgraded to iOS 8.1. The problem didn't go away but became less frequent.

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

Is anyone facing the similar problem of visible lag while opening app with 3G data on? It seems apple has made 5s slow to improve iphone 4 performance.5s was very smooth on 7.0.6 even with 3G data on. Is this a bug? Is apple going to fix this soon?

I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

AirPort Time Capsule (firmware v7.7.3) has slow wifi connection to new Surface Pro 3

I got a new Surface Pro 3 i7. I have all the updates for it. I ran into a problem that many others also ran into which was very slow WiFi performance. I utilized many troubleshooting methods and sources and I am currently inclined to believe this... the new Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller drivers are not compatible with my Airport Time Capsule firmware version 7.7.3.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there another firmware version that works (older or newer)?
Details:
I tried all kinds of things, like changing the network drivers on the SP3 to many different versions. Many of the help forums recommended using the drivers dated 4/24/2014. This did seem to help, but not reliably. What I discovered is... if I connect using the SP3 WiFi to my network extension Airport Express on version 7.6.4, I reliably get 20-22 mbps (which is the best I can expect from my network and works great for my needs). But, when I connect to my primary network Airport Time Capsule, the best I can get is 1.5 mbps, but usually between .15 and .9 mbps. It's completely unusable in today's internet environment. At the same time, I used my iPhone and the Airport Utility to verify the connections. I used SpeedTest.net on my MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Win8.1 HP laptop to verify that every other device was getting the 20+mbps. And they did. Only the Surface Pro 3 couldn't perform when using WiFi through the Airport Time Capsule. The SP3 does achieve 20+ mbps like all my other devices, but only when connected to the Airport Express.
The articles I read said that the network drivers on the SP3 seem to require the routers to be updated to the latest versions. Both the Airport Time Capsule and the Airport Express seem to be updated. When I go into their settings using the Airport Utility, there are no updates available.
Of course this problem isn't replicated at the Microsoft store since they don't have apple routers. So, their response is to upgrade the routers. Extremely unhelpful when the Apple software is saying it is upgraded already. I can't believe this new Airport Time Capsule has to be retired because it isn't playing well with others, and I love the automatic backup it is providing for my MacBook. So, somehow, I need the Airport Time Capsule to work with the new WiFi card & drivers on my SP3, just like the SP3 is working properly with the Airport Express.

Thanks for your input!
1. No downgrade. Bummer, but understandable.
2. Completely agree!!! I did too and then I had to redo it because I couldn't install a driver. I had to start all over and reinstall Win 8 then Win 8.1 over it. It was a colossal waste of time and endless frustration. If I can just get it modestly working, I'll take it. It doesn't have to be perfect right now.
3. Great suggestion! And the Microsoft forums are also a buzz. One suggestion I tried (and it seems to be working) is to set a separate wireless network name for the 5ghz band. I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but I'm hopeful. I t seems to have worked for some, but not others. The next thing I'll try is fixing the channel, but strangely, I didn't see that option in the AirPort Utility app on my iPhone. Is it only available through Mac/PC laptop/desktop software?
4. Yup. Sigh. I actually have an old linksys. I retired it when I went 100% apple. I was hoping that things would work smoother. And they did! Until this SP3 came into my life. Arg.
And and a few more details...
the AirPort Time Capsule is 802.11ac
the AirPort Express is 802.11n (2nd gen)
I'm wondering if it is the AC connection that is the issue. Maybe since the Express always connects with n, it is OK....
Nope. Just tested the SP3 again and it is maintaining it's connection to the AirPort Time Capsule utiling the 802.11a/n/ac mode and connecting to the 5Ghz special network name. So far so good... Fingers crossed...
