AFNetworking reachability is always unknown

Question

I start monitoring like this in my AppDelegate:

[[AFNetworkReachabilityManager sharedManager] startMonitoring];

On my root controller I then need to check if reachability is available and I perform this action to decide how to draw my UI:

AFNetworkReachabilityManager *manager = [AFNetworkReachabilityManager sharedManager];
NSLog(@"%s - %@", __FUNCTION__, AFStringFromNetworkReachabilityStatus([manager networkReachabilityStatus]));
switch ([manager networkReachabilityStatus]){
    case AFNetworkReachabilityStatusNotReachable:
        [self showNetworkUnreachable];
        break;
    default:
        [self hideNetworkUnreachable];
}

My issue is that here status is always unknown even if the device has connection.

Possibly AfNetworking is not the right tool to be used here. Any suggestion?

Not working in my case too. I used that instead:

- (BOOL)isInternetConnectionAvailable
{
    Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection];
    NetworkStatus internetStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus];
    if (internetStatus != NotReachable) {
        return YES;
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"NO INTERNET CONNECTION");
        return NO;
    }
}
