For those still having wifi issues, you may want to try turning off your AirPlay on other iDevices. Extracts from Apple Support Communities <https://discussions.apple.com/>

Re: iOS 8 Wi-Fi problems <https://discussions.apple.com/message/26645046>

Ever since upgrading to IOS 8, including IOS 8.01, 8.02 and 8.1 I had the well known Wifi issue.
wifi speeds dropping from 120mbps to about 2mbps @ 5ghz in within a minute after connecting to the wifinetwork. often i couldn't even surf at all. but the wifi signal was always strong.
With every update i was hoping for a solution from Apple but it never came.

Tried everything that can be found on the internet.
Resetting the network settings.
Disabling "wifi networking" under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
Reinstalling my Ipad from scratch
Used different routers and different setups.
Automatic ip's and fixed ip's and different dns servers just to be sure.
Nothing worked. The only workaround is switching to a 2.4Ghz network.

So i was doing some tests and found THE solution, but i don't like it all.
One of the biggest changes in IOS 8 is the ability to use airplay without a network. by using a wifi connection in combination with bluetooth.
And here lies the problem.
I disconnected al my Airplay devices from my network. Denon AV-amplifier AVR2113, Pioneer wireless speaker XW SMA3 and an airport express.
Et voila... My Ipad is back to normal. fast... no very fast internet connection and stable as ****. Just like iOS 7 was.
Working with it for a couple of hours now without any trouble at all.
But do i connect one Airplay device to the network the wifi is not stable anymore and extremely slow again on my ipad air.
My Macbook running mac os x mavericks doesn't have these issues, neither does my iphone 5S. and they are also on the same 5ghz network.

So I can create and recreate the issue and create a work around... Apple please come with a solution that makes me able to use airplay an ipad (on ios8) on a 5ghz network! like in iOS 7!!!!

Didn't they say can have option to switch 3G and 2G at will? Didn't see it in this update leh

Yep. Didn't see that option as well

 

[mewmart]

Yep. Didn't see that option as well

They say it's carrier dependent. Guess it doesn't apply to Singapore telcos then

On my ipad mini retina running 7.1.2, my wifi speedtest results are consistently around 150Mbps

But on my iphone 6 running 8.1 my results will range wildly from 50-100Mbps.

Anyone else experience this? bugs me a little that an older product has better wifi performance

anyone who go indonesia often can check if telkomsel and axis can off 3G 4G and use only 2G?
most of the places only got 2G, they give extra bandwidth for 3G like useless 1, only some shopping center got 3G

Telkomsel cannot turn off. only can turn on lte, which isn't supported anyway LOL. When i was in Jakarta and Medan 3G is readily available, but for some reason battery life was really really bad there.

After taking a photo, is there any way to access the Camera roll directly? Instead of being redirected to "All Photos" where I am instead shown photos right from the very beginning. Is there any way round this? Scanned through the entire thread but I believe this was not mentioned.

(Referring to the top left option of "All photos" after capturing a photo and selecting to view it, wondering if there's any way to change)

Thanks in advance.

Touch "All photos", it will bring u to the photo album then u click below, u can go camera roll?

I know it will. My question is whether there is any way to be redirected to the latest photo of my Camera roll by default, like how it was like before. Instead of being shown my old photos from years ago and then to manually select to go back to my camera roll. Was actually hoping 8.1 would fix it but it didnt.

battery life took a dip after updating to iOS 8.1 via iTunes, I then restore and set up as new iPhone, still can't get results previously like on iOS8 and iOS8.0.2. Can anyone sic some battery settings for iPhone 6?

Wifi issue still present on my iPhone 5s even after updating to 8.1 and resetting network settings. Never experienced this on 7.1.2 before.

What's with the wifi issue? Slow or not consistent connection?

It seems showing "oldest first" than "latest first" is reflected in NOTES app too.

high latency n dropped packets. sometimes wifi connection totally disconnected. I'm still seeing it in my 5S also. very frustrating.

Try this: http://www.stuff.tv/sg/18-ways-unknowingly-killing-your-iphone-battery/feature

I also turn off most of the the things under Location services - system services

Same. I am facing the same problem. Although I must say it is better than 8.02. For example when downloading from pptv, the speed is fast for a while then will time out.
