Wifi range greatly reduced after ios 7 update

Ipad 3
Everything was running great. I even got reception out in the hack yard. After the ios 7 update, the wifi drops when I get farther than 10 feet from the router.
I tried rebooting the router and resetting network preferences and also a complete wipe and default install. Nothing has worked.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Ipad is not connecting to wifi in sleep mode after iOS 6 update

I used to be able to receive FaceTime calls when ipad was in sleep mode but ever since this past update I don't. I had problems like everyone else wi connecting to the Internet but I was able to fix that. Is there any way the ipad can stay connected while in sleep mode.

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.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Slow to no wifi speed on 4s after ios 6 update

yesterday I updated my 4S to IOS 6 and now my wifi speed is zero. I've restored the phone, deleted the wifi network and rebooted everything and I still cannot even complete a speed test on the phone, it's so slow. It will not pull up a map or download an upgrade.

I, too, had slow WiFi connections when able to connect at all after upgrading my 3rd generation iPad to IOS 6. I think I found a way around the problem this morning and have notified my Apple support contact with my findings.
The following provides a little background about my specific problem:
After upgrade to IOS 6, home network wouldn't connect
Tried all the suggested options (recovering iPad- twice, Auto proxy, turning wireless and airplane mode on/off, rebooting iPad, disabling wireless security) none of which solved problem
finally able to connect by reconfiguring my Linksys E1500 router to use channel 6, confusing because it use to work, but at least I was connected
In my office I had great connectivity with no modifications - ran speedtest and had >18Mbps/sec download speed
Figured it was my router so was getting ready to buy an AirPort, when I found that my Mac-mini could be configured to operate as a router
Configured the Mac to share my ethernet and got excellent connectivity on iPad >18Mbps/sec, same as in the office
Tried all Linksys router channels and found could only connect on channels 6, 7 and 8 and only when channel width was set to 20Meg. Could only connect using 20/40Meg channel width on channel 6.
Throughput on channel 6 was: 0.72Mbps down, 1.05Mbps up with a ping time of 156Msec (Note router was in N/B/G or "Mixed" mode)
Reconfigured the Linksys router to only use B/G mode and the Auto channel selection now works and got the following throughput: 6.79Mbps down, 3.30Mbps up and 975Msec ping (Note this was about 50 feet from the router - same conditions as above. When in the same room as the router got: 19.58Mbps down, 3.38Mbps up, 982Msec ping)
So for my specific problem I could acheive acceptable WiFi performance by downgrading my LinkSys router to not use "N" mode. Since N mode works between the iPad and the Mac I suspect there could be an issue with Apple's implementation of the protocol, but I've supplied this information to Apple in the hopes they can address my issue in their next patch release.
I hope this information is useful to others.

Ipad mini with retina wifi extremely slow/dead after ios 8 update

Just updated my devices to iOS 8. Im having no issues with the Iphone 5s wifi works perfectly fine. But with the Ipad Mini w/ Retina I can't get any wifi. Its connected, I've reset the wifi & router. But my mini keeps saying there isnt any internet connection. Anyone else have this issue?

After updating my iPhone 4s that worked absolutely fine, i set about my iPAD 2,
took forever for the request made icon change to down loading, then installing. Once completed i had severe connection issues, Safari not finding servers, iOS telling me my password was incorrect so real problems, i could not even populate the BBC news app it just stuck as did Ebay, Amazon, Maplin etc Apps...
Not one to panic but terrified because i'm off on holiday for a week to Spain on Saturday, i use my iPad to remote my PC and remote assistance to systems i fit, and i have several hundred pages in Notes which i use as 'sticky's'.so do i need this like a hole in the head?
tried several reboots, eventually last resort before defaulting and clearing it out, and restoring, fearing loosing those precious notes (not certain they were all backed up), I reset my network settings (which wipes all stored login details for various sites, resets WiFi details etc),
To my Massive relief it cured all the connection problems i was having, so for some reason something must have corrupted.
you need to know what details you used on each site you use.
suggest you all try it
Other suggestion is you do need a lot of spare memory space, so park large files onto PC in alternative cloud storage, then delete from your device. You can restore deleted apps afik no are charged again, so delete those your not really using making sure you keep the data safe.
hope it helps

imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

Facebook app deadly slow, wifi slow, app downloading deadly slow, app crashes enormously, and maps too slow after iOS 6 update

I have a 3rd Gen Ipad Wifi, and it worked like a charm from the day I bought to the time before the update. All the problems started after iOS 6 update. Especially Facebook app is like a using dial up connection with the slowest possible speed. After the update, it became just a little bit faster, but still cant even open photos, and video. Google Chrome crashes often, the game download beame dead slow. Has any been experiencing similar things??????

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
WHY???!!!???

You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

And oddly enough it is a new iCloud email address.

IPhone 3GS Audio Volume Decrease After iOS 5 Update

The Audio/Volume on my iPhone 3GS has Decrease SIGNIFICANTLY After iOS 5 Update. Oddly, the volume of the ring is fine, and as lout as it used to be, and as loud as all other audio should be, but when using any 3rd party applications, the volume output is significantly less (about 40% less) than it used to be.
I am NOT the only person to experience this problem. Apparently, the issue has been around since this past summer, when iOS was still being developed / tested. There is a post about someone experiencing the same issue, here:
http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/768919-ios-5-low-volume.html
And before you ask .. I did a language change and reset, and I am still experiencing the SAME issue.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you.

I have a similar or related problem with iOS5/3GS and volume:

In my case I can hear nothing from the internal speakers although I can use headphones. The volume slider bar is unavailable unless I plug in headphones.
