IOS 14 WiFi

Yes. I updated to ios 14, and downloaded the other updates released since, and my iphone will absolutely not work on wifi. all my other devices work fine on our home wifi but my phone will show great connection and then barely work at all. Not able to stream or load any images on apps, Instagram constantly says I have no internet connection, etc. Speedtest on my other devices shows 101mbps download and 84 mbps upload, but my iphone won't even connect to speedtest on wifi. They better get this issue fixed soon, I have wifi specifically since my cellular data has a weak signal in my area and I can't keep relying on it for doing everything on my phone.

I deleted VPN option on my iPhone ios 14.2.1 on my new iPhone 12 Pro Max, and that worked. Obviously the iO allows user for such option. I tried every advices on the internet and all failed, and finally I did that and now everything work. My problem was: when I chose my home wifi network and entered password, it shows I was connected to wifi but it's not.

All,

i solved the issue by changing the setting DNS from automatic to manuel:

go to your wifi network, press on (i), scroll down to dns, set the dns to manuel mode and type in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Dns servers.

you will no longer experience the connection problem. Also disable private network just in case.

thats it.

None of these "solutions" are acceptable. What's required is for Apple to investigate the problem and fix it in the operating system.

All these endless comments about adjusting DNS settings, toggling private mode, disabling VPN, sitting closer to the router and so on are not solutions. They're a waste of time and may even mislead some people into thinking they can somehow fix this problem themselves. They can't. The problem is THE OPERATING SYSTEM.

And even if manually setting Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 etc) did work, why should anyone have to do that? Nowhere in the iOS 14 publicity does it say "if you want WiFi, you have to use Google's DNS servers" or "if you want to use a VPN, sorry you can't."

All anyone here can do is express their frustration that Apple has released a build of iOS that clearly contains very significant bugs. Copying and pasting spammy "fixes" from bogus online help sites doesn't help anyone.

Yes, I have been having chronic connectivity issues since the 14.2 update on my iPad.

I tried all the tips and tricks everyone else has, but it has not helped me. My iPad won’t stay connected for longer than a few minutes at a time. I have to constantly turn wifi off and back on. Casting to my tv has become impossible.

I agree with the previous poster who said these little solutions are just a waste of time - Apple needs to fix this iOS, please and thank you.

I have iPhone XI, and Wifi worked flawlessly until updated to 14.1. Then did 14.2 in hopes it would fix the glitch. But it did not. If anything, it is worse. I have done everything suggested (Private network is off; I have reset Network settings, and so forth). I now basically must keep my phone OFF Wifi for ANYthing to function. News apps, logging into my bank, searching on Safari and so forth. Luckily I have unlimited data, but it slows down after a certain usage, so I am FURIOUS that a simple update did this to my phone. My phone also now shows read receipts when it feels like it, though I have that toggled to off. I tell my boyfriend to tell me if "delivered" switches to "read" and then I toggle it on and then off, and that seems to temporarily fix that. Phone also gets hot now. And battery drains far more rapidly than before. Most upsetting is I literally cannot use my WiFi at all. APPLE MUST FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did manual reconfiguration of DNS server per one of the suggestions below, and IT WORKED. My Wifi is now working. Wow!!!! Thank you for the help, but it is still reprehensible that Apple did this to all of us and isn't helping, and that some random person helped me from this blog. Follow the directions to reset DNS server to manual instead of automatic in Network settings, and type 8.8.8.8 and in server 8.8.4.4. My WiFi now works perfectly!!!!

I have to agree with a few of the posts below me. Nothing works and is a waste of time. Sadly I updated both my phone and iPad so I am screwed with either device and as rolling back the OS is a pain I really don't see that as an option for a fix. Having the device reconnect at wake, take a long time to connect, and not have a stable connection is basically defeating the whole point of a mobile device. Luckily I have unlimited data, but if someone didn't have that, this would bring their use of their device to a halt. Apple really needs to fix this on their side so people can actually use their device. I would think with a problem this big that they would have sent out a patch already. Especially for a live version. Guess not.

Today my iPhone 6s updated to version iOS 14.2 and was the most dumb thing that i did when i accepeted the update.
Wifi of my phone broke, even when i set wifi security to off, remove pass and disable MAC Filter, my iphone dont connect.

I did the tricks that others said. But without sucess.

What i tried:
Reset Connection Setting in General Settings.
Set manual DNS servers ( 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8., 8.8.4.4 )
Set manual IP and getway IP of router
Set of "private newtowk"
Restart my iPhone 6s and router multilples times.

I really dont know what to do, without my LAN connection i cant use Explo CLI to developer my apps wroted in React Native.

Please, someone help me.

I have the very same problem on an iPhone 11 Pro. It was bad on iOS 14, but now on 14.2, WiFi is completely unusable.
I tried the usual suspect:

• Changed DNS to Google's...

• Changed from DHCP to static

• Turned off privacy

• Soft reset of the phone

• Reset router

• Reset phone's network settings

• Tried the airplane mode trick...

All that's left is a hard reset of the phone, which will take time and probably do nothing, but waste it.

Any other ideas or suggestions? LTE data is expensive if I just give up on WiFi...

I updated my iPhone 8 plus to IOS 14.2 and now its a useless brick. it has no service and wont connect to wifi. I've turned it on and off several times, I reset my Network Settings and nothing has worked. My phone can't even use Cellular data and I am ******! I don't know what Apple did with their update but they had better fix it and soon. I cant use any of my apps on my phone such as Facebook, Youtube, or any of my games.

I've updated my software to iOS 14.2 when it first was prompted to me. From about an hour ago, I couldn't access any websites on my phone, nor could I use apps (except the Facebook-owned ones, like instagram). Thought it was a connection problem from my internet provider, but apparently it was the phone. Tried everything from a soft reset to a factory reset and nothing worked, except changing the DNS Server to Manual, imputing 1.1.1.1; 8.8.8.8; and 8.8.4.4
It was a suggestion right from this forum, so I'd like to thank the people that posted it.
Although, this does not look good for Apple, since I'm not even running an iPhone that much outdated (from their standards).

Good luck, everyone.

My Scenario: I was able to connect with my home Wi-Fi without any problem, but after a minute or two the internet stopped working. I wasn't able to access the internet nor connect to my router's admin panel (via my iPhone although the Wi-Fi signals were strong). And after disconnecting and reconnecting to my Wi-Fi, everything was working a-okay. Only my iPhone 7 Plus and other iOS devices in my house were facing this issue and no other device like laptop and android phones were affected by this weird problem.

THE FIX: From setting manual DNS to resetting Wi-Fi router and my device, I tried everything but nothing worked. What worked was CHANGING MY Wi-Fi ROUTER! Although I wasn't facing any connectivity issues on my laptop or android phone whatsoever, somehow my router wasn't properly working with my iPhone 7 Plus and other iOS devices of my friends.

I got it to work on my iPhone 7Plus by ticking the "Private Wifi-Adress" setting in the network specific settings. Even though it is still shown as a low security network (which isn't true i think) . Before it was shown as unsecure network and wouldn't connect. The Probelm occurred on Fritz!Box! routers. It seemed to work on a different router of mine which was provided and branded by Vodaphone.

Do manual reconfiguration of DNS server. IT WORKS.

Wifi is now working!!!!

Follow the directions to reset DNS server to manual instead of automatic in Network settings, and type 8.8.8.8 and in server 8.8.4.4

WiFi now works perfectly!!!!

PS no 'dots' after the last number!!!
