WiFi Goes Down/Up Briefly

Thank you for getting back to me. Per your request, I've opened up a bug report (number 21817833) and attached the relevant information. Hoping this is fixed soon.

Was just able to reproduce this in iOS 8.4. I'll update the bug report but I haven't heard anything from Apple. Will this fall into the category of "no one cares"?
