iOS 8 problem with WIFI not stabil. dammit, my ipad which is still on iOS 7.1.2 is working fine on WIFI but my iPhone 5S eventhough it's connected to WIFI as it will take ages to load webpage same goes with apps that uses WIFI connection too. on 3G all is working flawlessly.

Did a quick search on the net, a lot of people complaining on the poor WIFI performance on iOS 8 mad.gif

Apple better release an update to fix this

Thanks for the heads-up. Will refrain updating to iOS 8 for my iPad Mini until they fix this major issue.

Anyone who have updated their iPhone to iOS 8 and having WIFI issues ever since, give this a try, as it seems to be working on my iPhone 5s

Just have to monitor it for the next few days to confirm it is a permanent fix sweat.gif

Disable a Wi-Fi System Service Setting

If resetting network settings did nothing for you, you may want to experiment with toggling off a wi-fi system setting. MacRumors reports that some users have had a positive impact by disabling this setting, though it’s not entirely clear what exactly this specific setting controls (it is possible it’s a wi-fi based geolocation service, hence why it’s in Location Services settings).

Head to the Settings app, go to “Privacy” and then to “Location Services”, where at the bottom you will find “System Services”, then flip the switch to disable Wi-Fi Networking. This does NOT turn off wireless networking in iOS.

Upgrade to iOS 8 last night by iTunes full restore. Did notice that wifi is really slow but I did try the fix. Looks like it's working.

The best thing about iOS 8 is the font size which is much bigger and the implementation is system wide which make it really easy on the eye. Love it.

In terms of performance I did notice very slight lag sometimes but overall it's still very zippy.
So far no crash oh hang and seems like it's very good

which fix you did?

on my 5s, tried all the fix from changing the dns, turning off wifi networking did not work. it is only a temporary solution, after a while it will become slow again.
