I have had my iPhone 6 for a couple of weeks now, and the wifi at my house will simply not work consistently. It shows that the wifi connection is full on the top right and in settings, but nothing will work or connect (apps, app store, email). My husband's phone works fine, and my macbook, google chrome cast, etc. work fine too. I've tried resetting my router, the phone's network settings, etc. Is anyone else having this issue?
 
I had this issue a while back with my iPad, all of a sudden. The iPhones were fine. I figured a neighbor had done something that was interfering with the signal, like a new garage door opener or something. My techie friend suggested that I set my router to a particular channel, instead of letting it choose randomly. If I recall, channels 6, 11, and 13 were the preferred (can someone confirm?). As soon as I made that change, all was well again.

You might also try resetting network settings on the phone and restarting, sometimes that clears things up.

My iphone 6 has the similar problem too. I can connect to the wifi but the speed is super slow.
Use the speedtest app and tried on both iphone 6, only my phone got less than 1MB download/upload.
There other iPhone 6 was 40+ up/down. Sometimes a restart will make my phone's wifi back to work.

I believe there is something wrong with the wifi on some iphone 6.
It just happened like a month ago, but I traded in for a 6S.

Thanks for your answer! And this may sound stupid, but how do I go about changing my router channel? I have read this other places as well---people say that apple products require channel 11---but I don't know how to do it....

I have a Netgear router, and I go to www.routerlogin.com to change settings, update firmware, etc. If you have a different brand, you'd want to go to their support page to find out how to log in to access the settings.
 
I have a netgear router as well. Working on it now---thanks so much!
