IOS 14 WiFi

Yessss definitely have an issue on WiFi connectivity.. it’s super disappointed with slow speed as compared to other older phones

Hi there,

I was without 5 GHz WLAN ca. 1 day after upgrading to iOS 14.4. 2.4 GHz still worked well on iPhone XS and iPad 8.

What I did:

• (iOS units) removed both the 5 GHz and the 2.4 GHz WLAN network from Wifi settings

• dis- and enabled 5 GHz WLAN in router settings

• rebooted router

• (iOS units) dis- and enabled Wifi

• (iOS units) added the 5 GHz and the 2.4 GHz WLAN network in Wifi settings again

...and it works again. Will see how long. ;)


/Cheers

Since the 14.4 update I cannot open app store or safari and several other apps while connected to wifi. I tried turning off Private Address and it doesn't make any difference. My phone also doesn't show up in list of devices on my Internet app. Messages are not going through etc.

After IOS 14 update wifi drops connectivity very often even when wifi signals are strong !! Other android devices are not facing such issue proving wifi router has no issue. Is apple trying to force new Iphone 12 on us by slowing older iPhone ?

Can we get a bump for this issue? iOS14.3 and 14.4 give very poor WiFi performance. All my other non iOS devices in the house are getting double the connection speed. I've turned off "Private Address" in the WiFi settings and it barely made a difference. I've also checked there's no MAC filtering enabled on my router.

Just like the majority, our household phones are having the same issue. It is really frustrating that it seems Apple doesn’t do quality control checks with new ISO updates before launching. This is why I hardly update because more often than not it causes functionality issues. These phones are expensive, especially when you purchase right out. Apple please fix this issue or will be sending data overage charges.

The wifi issue on my iPhone X has been resolved in iOS 14.5 Beta. Finally! Update and check guys. The issue is finally resolved. No more disconnections now. Going steady!

I have an iPad Pro 10,5” (2017) and an iPhone 12. After installing 14.2 on my iPad the internet connection got really slow. Videos need to buffer a long time and run low res, video calls don’t work and even social media (Reddit, Twitter) is painfully slow. As far as I can tell the WiFi connection never fails, it’s just like there is some kind of software bottle neck. The iPhone 12 works fine- same router etc.

So far I tried the usual but to no avail:
1: Updates
2: Reboot
3: Forget the Wi-Fi Network, Toggle AirPlane Mode, then Rejoin
4: Reset Network Settings 
5: Disable Private MAC Address

After installing 14.4 today I had high hopes, but it only worked ok for a short period of time and then went back to painfully slow again. This is not acceptable!

02/4/2021 I avoided upgrade to IOS 14 because of reported issues, but last week when Apple on National news broadcasts highly recommended upgrading due to serious security breaches, i went ahead. Wished I had not. When on WiFi phone calls my microphone cuts in and out. When on cell network it's just fine. We checked mics and did all the recommended checks and all are fine. Then i found this forum and see I am not alone. This is definitely an IOS issue and needs to be resolved quickly as getting a new phone (such as I 12) is not an option as issues there as well.

It has been three days since upgrading to iPad OS 14.4 Essentially the iPad does not recognize the Internet. I am writing this note using the hot spot on my iPhone as a means of getting around this issue. What was working in the previous iOS release needs to be fixed.

Since updating my devices to iOS 14.4, I am having issues with WiFi connectivity. Most of my apps will not load when connected to WiFi as if I’m not connected. All non Apple devices in my home work seamlessly so that eliminates a WiFi problem. I have an older iPad that is not updated to iOS 14 that works great as well.
Apple, please fix this bug.

Yes, I have an Iphone 12. I just downloaded the upgrade 14.4, and now my phone is not connecting to my home wifi. I never had any connection issues previously.

Apple please fix the issue asap.
