Yes, for me also. I am having problems with wifi working on my iPad Air, and to a lesser extent on my iPhone 5, after upgrading to iOS 8. My iPad is just about useless now after upgrading. It will work OK for a few minutes then the little wheel will just sit there and spin. The wifi connection to the router is there and strong, but the connectivity to the internet fails to move any data. Running a ping test shows that very few pings get through at all and when they do get through, the latency is huge.
iOS 8 update definitely is the problem as everything worked great on iOS 7.1.2.
I hope Apple is aware of this problem and will release a fix very soon.

Same problem here. Wifi not working well at all. performnace seems to be some kind of delay when submitting in safari or any other app. And another wowed thing seems to be disconnection of LTE and unable to route to destination gateway. It happened while in Seattle on ATT. Disconnecting LTE and working with 4G was fine. I'm now in Dallas and LTE seemed to work. But wifi is giving lots of performnace problems at home. I'm not ch aging my router which worked fine before I upgraded to iOS 8.

ditto here....so angry at Apple....just to meet their release commitment they release this untested crap. Wifi and video playback, specifically websites loading for first time and Netflix playback, is DEAD! I can wait minutes to load Google front page and videos on Netflix are staggered. I did a wifi settings reset and it helped but still see sporadic issues. Ipad4 Retina, 64g.....is now a doorstop!
anyone find any relief?

I had read another comment posted and this person had suggested the "Puffin Browser". I was curious whether this would make a difference at all in the issues I've been having with Safari since dowloading the ios 8 to my ipad. so I downloaded it from the app store and it works beautifully! a signifigant boost in speed, like before updating. maybe this could also be useful for someone else - at least until some kind of further update comes out.

Similar problem on my iPhone 5s after updating to iOS 8. Not as bad as what you're seeing on your Air since my speed tests are at least 20 Mbps, but bad enough that apps (including Safari) periodically complain about a lost network connection despite showing 4 semicircles in the Wifi status.
I've run an app called Ping Analyzer and had it ping my router and see dropped packets periodically. Ran the same test on my old 4s and iPad 2 running iOS 7.1.2 and not seeing any where near the number of dropped packets as the 5s.
Chatted with Apple support and they had me do a restore and set up as new. I did that since I'm seeing other glitches in iOS 8. It seemed to work after that, but I only tested for a few minutes and didn't do the ping test (which I should have done as that would have given me a definitive answer). I then restored my backup and the issues returned. Apple support implied if restoring as new didn't fix the problem, then it's a hardware problem. Considering the number of reports about this, he can't be correct.

This is killing my router ADSL connection.
I regurarly have 1MB/s transfer rate from my desktop.
Connecting my iOS8 iPad mini WIFI only, the router start to suffer and drop the transfer rate to < 5 kb/s !!
And this happen only when i plug iPad to the power outlet.
maybe something is wrong when start services like iCloud backups, iTunes sync, iCloud sync etc..
Also i have monitored, from my desktop, the pings roundtrip from a known site.
They go from circa 100ms to 3000ms after few minutes the ipad was plugged for charging. -

The Wifi connection seems to be intermittent with all devices updated to iOS 8. My iPhone 5 works ok and can be seen by ITunes, but my iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad 3 are not always able to connect to Wifi, and are never seen by iTunes unless I connect them physically. iTunes Sync no longer works for any of the Pads.
