It's been about 2 weeks since the new iPhones came out and still haven't had an update to fix the slow wifi problems, getting frustrated having an unusable phone

I returned mine yesterday since I'm not married to iOS, I'm actually an Android guy... Unfortunately I really did like the phone and hopefully a fix will come in real soon and I'll jump back on board.. But I would seriously consider a Note 4 if a fix is not in by the time its release

I had a Galaxy S4 since the day it came out (just switched to the iPhone6+) but my Galaxy was notorious for dropping Wifi - "Internet connection is unstable" message was popping up ALL THE TIME. I tried everything to stop it, factory resets on the phone, connecting to different WiFi's, a new modem, a new router - EVEN switched internet providers...nothing helped.

Galaxy S4 was a pain with WiFi - glad I'm done with that phone.

I have yet to notice any WiFi issues with my 6+.
 
Guys I just found a fix, went to tmobile and got the "free" cell spot router which is 802.11ac I believe dual band, got rid of my old dlink 802.11N router

Now I get 29mbps speeds in average, up from the average 12mbps speed I had

Hope this helps you guys!:)
