Cannot turn on Wifi in iOS 6

Just updated to iOS 6 and cannot turn on Wifi in settings. The button is there but cannot be used (stuck 'off'). Can anyone help?




Have tried:


- Switch off and on

- Reset network settings

- Airplane mode off/on toggle

- Restoring from back-up

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Same problem here. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps and nothing changes. The thing about it is the phone wants to update just about every app on the phone and I'm not doing that over the Verizon network! It is made my "New iPad" completely useless as it affected both the iPad and the phone. Bummed. Apple please fix!!

I am having the same problem on my iphone4. I was actually using my home wifi as the new update was downloading withut issue since you have to be connected to install, and now I am unable to connect to the same wifi all of a sudden even though it is in the list, and I am taken to a Log In prompt that reveals an Apple Website but can't do anything from there. Glad to see I am not alone here, but this needs to get fixed.
