Sep 30, 2012 2:29 PM in response to BARCA-XAVIby rusynr,Doing this is stupid. Apple will never ever get corporate support. I for one will ensure we don't look at apple products until this is resolved. Since we sell security to corporations we cannot tolerate BYOD at our offices. Does apple really think doing this will get them more business?

Oct 29, 2012 1:49 AM in response to Cloudssby sf954,The tip here to reset my network settings worked great. Go to Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings. Now I have full Wifi signal bars and blazing fast download speeds using both Apple Airport Extreme and Apple Airport Express (Relay). Shouldn't have to do this in the first place, but at least it's fixable.

Oct 30, 2012 6:30 AM in response to betsyfromatlantaby Michael RC,Before I read this solution, I had the same problem and even after resetting to factory seting ans restore the backup it didn't work for days. Then desperately I just clicked on the 'forget this network' and then typed the network in manually... and it worked! Confirms it is not a hardware problem as I read all over on the discussion (iPhone5 IOS6).
BUTWhat really makes me angry just more is that Apple has this discussion fora on there 'support' site but there is NEVER a single sign of Apple for a possible solution. Everybody is chatting and guessing on the official Apple site and there is NO support at all. Apple we all pay your salaries: do something!!! ever hear of customer care!!!!

Nov 1, 2012 10:20 PM in response to Cloudssby apta,Brand new iPhone 5 can connect to several Wifi networks but not at home, even with an open network and phone inches from router. Message is "Cannot connect ...". Oddly, it connects to the neighbor's open network. I tried turning wifi off/on, ask to join, ... but nothing. Hesitate to reset network settings since I have entered a bunch of passwords to other networks.

Nov 10, 2012 8:44 AM in response to aptaby maytagman11,I had the same problem with my iphone 4 when trying to connect to my home wifi. Finally, I went into my modem's setting via Centurylink and changed the wifi channel to 11 and viola! Re-entered my security key on my phone and success! Hope this helps!

Nov 10, 2012 5:39 PM in response to aptaby apta,Update: I reset the iPhone 5's Network Settings but it didn't help. I talked to Apple support and they said that the Wifi chip on the 5 is different than before and some routers may have problems. The Netgear WGT624v3 is one of them. http://www.davejackson.com/life/cant-access-wifi-with-ios-6-on-iphone-with-netge ar-wgt624v3-fix/ posted that downgrading the firmware allowed the phone to connect. I didn't try it but am using a 2nd generation Airport Extreme successfully.

Nov 23, 2012 2:06 AM in response to Cloudssby lifestyle500,I know very little about tech things. My new Iphone5 would connect to wifi at work but not at home.
The simple reason was the antivirus on home computer. I took off the antivirus, connected up to wifi and then put it back on again. Phone working very fast now on home wifi.
