i'm not sure if anyone is facing this problem but at least for me my line of iOS 8.1 devices are suffering from WiFi slowdown.

My MacBook works just fine when connected, my Android devices works flawlessly, my dad's iPad mini 1 which is still on iOS7 works wonderfully as well.


After updating to iOS8 on my iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5s, I've been noticing a lot of freezing and slowdowns on both my devices. Instagram refuses to load, tweets doesn't send and WhatsApp texts takes ages to send (the texts are just a few bits in size, c'mon)

One thing is Safari on 8.1, it freezes or just stops loading halfway and refuses to load. It's painstakingly slow. I cannot bare with it and changed it to chrome although I always prefer Safari. I've been on Apple forums and this seems to be a widely reported issue.

I initially thought that this was my Unifi's issue (I'm on 10Mbps) but when I switched to my Android device (OnePlus and M8), everything works fine and flawlessly. So I suspect iOS8 is definitely the culprit.

I've tried resetting network settings and other 'fixes' doesn't work for me. All I can hope is Apple is working on a fix and release an update ASAP.
Anyone facing the same problem here?

Is it possible that it's a hardware issue?
If it is, how can I test?

I'm using a third-party 2.4Ghz router. Works fine for all IPTV and all my windows machines as well as Macs.
Only stutter and freezes with iOS 8 devices.

Just in. iOS 8.1.1 beta is now out. Hopefully changelog includes the fix for this utterly annoying bug.
And btw now all minor updates also need beta status unlike last time no need release to devs beforehand before releasing it to the public.

Guess 8.0.1 really scarred them

Surprisingly iOS8 has been ok in terms of battery life for me so far.
Still consistent with iOS7 with ~4 hours usage per charge (approx 3.9 hours SOT minus the background refreshes)

Serious? How you get 7 hours of usage maybe you under excellent radio coverage that's why
