wifi not working after 17.1.2 update

My iPhone will not connect to my WiFi network after the 17.1.2 update it sees my network but will not connect. Forced restart did not work. “Forget the network” and selecting it again didn’t work as well. All my other devices that are not updated are still connected to my WiFi network?

Hello TheLittles, thanks a lot for providing these steps. Unfortunately, nothing of this Solved my problem. In my case, the wireless connection is now actually established, but it cannot be used by the iPad (6th generation) with iPadOS 17.1.2


An iPhone, which I am using to write this text, also uses the same wireless and functional internet connection.


Note: The icons displayed by safari are loaded after resetting safari (steps II). But these may be cached locally


How can I check or verify what kind of error keeps the iPad from using the internet connection?


I have also changed a lot of settings in my wireless router w.r.t. IPv6. The iPhone quite likes these but the iPad doesn’t. Does the iPad handle the routing differently? What’s wrong?


Thanks very much for any help!
