WiFi on iPhone 4S doesn't work after iOS 5.0.1 update!

I resetted my setting twice, I restored it with iTunes, but WiFi doesn't work any more!

How can I get iOS 5.0.0 back?

I have the same problem with iOS 5. When I did my iPod touch iOS update from iOS 4 to 5, my WiFi seemed to work just fine but once it prompted me to set up iCloud, my WiFi connection just went nuts. It can no longer connect to the connection anymore. I thought it was just the iPod touch. I went to purchase iPhone 4s last night and I was informed that the WiFi should work but when I reached home, WiFi could not even connect. I wonder could it be something to do with the sync-ing of iCloud or any of the unsolved bugs in iOS 5. I'm getting frustrated here. Can anyone out there please help?


Thanks a lot!

Having the same issue here. Updated to iOS 5.0.1 at work over wifi. Now that I'm home, I can't connect to my airport extreme anymore. have reset both devices and even installed the update to the airport. no luck. Now what do we do??


UPDATE: Great, my iPad 2 doesn't connect anymore either. Since its a WiFi only model, its useless now.

UPDATE 2: Whew, ok, the iPad finally connected, but it took a few minutes. Now what about our phones?

My iP4 running ios5 worked flawlessly. Now with the upgrade to ios 5.0.1 I can't connect to my wireless router at home. I tried turning the phone off and back on, unplugging the router, removing the connection and entering it manually. nothing works and I'm getting ****** off.


By the way, I'm sending this email from my computer over this very same router! I instructed my wife to NOT UPDATE her iP4S.

I got Wi-Fi to reconnect by restarting my router and re-entering the wireless password. I wonder if the wireless account passwords were lost in the update process? I wonder if I would have just had the phone “forget” the wireless account and reconnect if that would have worked.


On an interesting side note, the exchange server connected after I got Wi-Fi back working! I am wondering if there is a issue with 3G and the new IOS 5.01? I could not get any exchange connectivity after the update on 3G.
