Am I the only one having ios 6 ipad 3 wi-fi issues

AND AGAIN! I too have lost all wi-fi functionalitry on my five-day old iPad 3. I say "All" functionality. It knows if the SSID exists it just refuses to connect despite using different SSIDs, Passwords, Re-instralls of IOS6. I now have a brand new "brick". I thought Apple were supposed to be the "Kings" of the consumer market?? How can they release an OS update that will not work on so many of their devices?

Replaced my older Netgear Access Point with a Netgear WN802T v2 and all works perfectly again. Looks like iOS 6 doesn't like some access points / routers. Could it be because this newer one supports WMM?

so why yell at us? try reset the ipad home button +power button intell you get the apple logo. and then after that back up and restore your device

I can confirm these issues also. I have had three users (including myself) update to iOS 6 today and each was unable to join any of our wireless networks after update. The iOS devices in my case were 2 iPhone 4S phones and 1 iPad 3. After this was first reported by the iPad user, I performed an update on my 4S to confirm the issue was not localized to his iPad. I was connected before update (obviously, since i was able to update) but unable after updating. We have attempted the following to remedy the issue:

Multiple reboots of iOS devices

Multiple reboots of WAP

Changing WAP channel

Changing WAP from multi-band to single band

Adding an unsecured security channel.

Nothing has solved this issue. Additionally, one user with a iPhone 4 has also updated but did not experience the same issue.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them. (As long as UA, PEBKAC, and loose nut on the the keyboard are not included in the diagnosis.)

I can confirm. Resetting the router and performing a full reset/restore of the iPad did not solve the issue. iPhone 4 updated just fine. iPad conects to other open wireless networks, but not to the WPA2 network at home. Checked router settings, everything is fine. iPad worked fine under OS 5.

Clearly this is a change in iOS6. Waiting on a fix or official statement from Apple.

I have attempted the following security configurations

WPA2-PSK

WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK AES&TKIP

NO SECURITY

Also attempted various channels/bands.

Exact same problem here. I updated my iPad 3 to IOS6 and wifi stopped working. I updated my iPhone 4 and it continues to connect to wifi...I am not sure what to do from here. It appears to be iPhone 4S's and iPad 3's that have the wifi issue. I have several people connected to the wireless router and it is working fine. There are no DHCP issues either. I am curious where to go from here!

One of my users just reported he connected with no problem at a Starbucks via ATT Wifi. I know ATT wifi uses different authentication, however, I did setup a no security network to test this issue. One would assume that would have solved an authentication issue.

I'm having this problem with my iPad 2. It will allow me to choose my network but then gives me a Yahoo error page and will not connect. I have several other devices connected to my network, as always, and there are no problems. I have not updated my iPhone 4S yet and will not until this is figured out.

Additional things to try.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I have a similar issue. IPad connects to WiFi and then drops after a few minutes. If I go into the mail app, it reconnects, but Safari, or downloading apps from the App Store, will not keep the connection up. I reset the Network settings, and have rebooted. This is happening in a known environment that was very stable until the iOS5 upgrade.

I meant iOS6 upgrade...
