Q: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?

I'm currently waiting on Apple support to call me back about this issue, but I thought I would reach out here to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

 

I upgraded to IOS 6 yesterday afternoon, and immediately after I could no longer connect to the Wifi at my place of employment.  Everyone had this issue, no big deal.

 

Went home, Wifi worked fine.

 

Came into work this morning and I am still unable to connect. I have tried all of the various recommended fixes, and even gone so far as to do a complete restore.   I work at a university with multiple networks and access points and have tried connecting to several, both secure and unsecure, with no luck.

 

This is what happens:

Unsecure Networks: Attempt to connect, wheel spins, Error Message: "Unable to Connect"

Secure Network: Attempt to connect, prompted for password, enter password, Error Message: "Incorrect Password"  (Yes I entered the correct password, I tried multiple times, and the IT tech was able to connect to it with his iPad 2 running IOS 5)

 

I am also not the only one, everyone on campus who has upgraded their iPad 3 to IOS 6 is unable to connect. (All staff/factulty have iPads, most have upgraded)

 

I have spoken with the IT department and they are baffled, they have tried rebooting various routers and access points to no avail.

 

Obviously there is something different happening in IOS 6 that is causing these issues.  My question is has anyone else encoutered this issue, and if so what have you done to fix it?

 

I have seen people above who have upgraded firmware on their personal wireless routers with success, but for a university with literally hundress of access points and routers this is out of the question, at least in the short term.

    I'm just off the phone having spent a good 30 mins talking to two apple people - luckily my new ipad still had telephone support! nothing they got me to do helped so they have escalated my call but warned me not to expect any response quickly as they are 'very busy' at the moment...

    Its not just Netgear, I have been haveing the same problems since upgrading with my Belkin router, works fine with my iphone 4 but will not connect to the network on the ipad2, I have an old Linksy WRT54G, turned that on and it connected straight away, must be a problem with the update that does not allow ipads etc to connect to certain routers. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave!

    Same thing here, upgraded over the wi-fi on an iPhone 4S, as soon as it booted on ios6 I could not join the very same network (Netgear WG102 AP). I have tried everything, even fully restoring the phone. I could connect fine to a freinds time capsule. I also have a Netgear SRXN3205 (router that the AP is connected to) that WAS set to 5ghz N only (giving my MBP 300mb connection) I set that to 2.4ghz and the 4S is now connecting happily to that? so it seems it doesn't like something that the AP is doing with the new ios6. This is just rubbish from apple, throw in the maps debarcle and io6 really has been a nightmare. If anyone can help please do, I've been pulling my hair out!

    It seems to be back again. Was able to access public location hotspots normally again yesterday, but not this morning. Seems to be a problem with captive portal handling hanging. Wifi shows connected by no sign-on page displays an not data transmission occurs. (Starbucks, Toronto)

    I wouldn't waste your time resetting unless it's to drop back down to 5.1.  It didn't help for me and now I have to reload all of apps/music...and still no wifi

    I agree 100%, this seems like an ios6 issue that no amount of resetting/fiddling with will solve. I hope 6.0.1 comes around fast with a fix.

    same issue here.  iphone 4s, upgraded to ios 6 yesterday morning and now "unable to connect" to the wifi at work. Just the Netgear WAG102 -all others seem to work fine.  I've tried every phone fix mentioned in this thread, nothing works.

    Seems like a problem for a lot of Netgear and 4s users   I hope they fix this soon!

    My office has the same problem. Half of my employee's iPad3's work with the update and half don't. We are all going through the same router.

    Yesterday I was able to log on somehow, but today I just get a blank white page.

    Wifi at home works great, hotspots no problem, wifi at work not so much.

    Our pilots use the iPad as their handbooks. I must have these iPads working ASAP. Please fix.

    My solution :

     

    If you can - change WPA2 AES encryption to WPA2 TKIP on your wifi router.

    If not - you must wait for system update :-/

    For iphone:

    for iPad:

    Pick the correct file for your device and do the restore through iTunes.  There are a million tutorials out there on how to do it. Not that you would want to, but you probably won't be able to go back any further than 5.1.1.

    3 x ipad 2 here, upgraded one ipad and it lost WiFi to our Draytek wireless router, other 2 iPads continue to

    work fine.

    We have rebooted, and we have powered everything off, and cleared out the need for a password from the router, but the Ios6 iPad still refuses to connect :-(

    We have cleared its Safari cache, still no joy :-(

    However the Ios6 iPad has made a WiFi connection by sharing the airport connection on our iMac, which is connected by a wire to the wireless Draytek !!

    Come on Apple - this needs fixing.
