When iOS 8.0 first launched, it came filled with a bunch of nasty bugs, affecting everything from WiFi connectivity to the basic stock iOS apps. The WiFi issue has managed to sneak its way back on to iOS with the latest 8.2 update, which prepares iPhones for the launch of the Apple Watch.
The bug can cause heavily degraded or entirely broken wireless performance. The issue has even spawned the largest iOS support thread on Apple's official community forum, seeing just over 645,000 views and two thousand replies across 133 pages.
The issue was suppressed for many users with the iOS 8.1 update but now with iOS 8.2, it seems that the issue has popped back up. The WiFi bug can also cause pretty bad battery drain, causing iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices to last between just four and six hours at a time.
However, Apple already has iOS 8.3 in the works and it is letting users to sign up and beta test it, meaning that maybe this time, the WiFi issues can be resolved once and for all.

KitGuru Says: Apple's quality control for iOS seems to have taken a dive since September. Hopefully the company can fix the issues soon, in the mean time, it might be best to not upgrade.
“jhust “? typo ?
Ya, this bug pisses me off. Stuttering and buffering when using home sharing, slow page loading, and worst of all my iPod goes from 100% to 20% overnight…..Apple should use their billions of loose change they have laying around to invent a time machine, go back and bitch slap Jobs into actually getting proper cancer treatment, and thus he would still be with us today and crack down on this shit before it is released to the public.
I haven’t noticed the wifi bug coming back. For me it never left. I can keep connected more or less steadily, but that’s because I literally have a WRT-54G sitting under my bedside table, about 3ft away from my phone.

I, too, have been suffering the “WiFried” bug since updating my 5S to 8.2.
Sitting in my lounge room, I see a lot of access points in my neighbourhood.
So I changed my WiFi APs , setting channels to be unique. (Channels 1 and 6 were commonly used)
This appears to have solved my problem.
If I’m on to something, then the tolerances have changed in IOS 8.2
