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

after my update to ios 6 I tried to set up the ipad and it was unable to join the network....so since then I have reset the network settings, NO SOLUTION!... tried messing with my wireless router settings and switching different channels NO SOLUTION!! , and also reinstalled ios 6 to see if that was the issue....NO RESOLVE!

I have come to terms with the fact that my ipad was fine and connected easily before ios 6 with ios 5, so its not my router or wifi settings.....and my ipod touch 4g was updated to ios 6 as well and it connects absolutely fine to my wifi now.....SO SO FAR I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE UPDATE!

I can confirm that this is DEFINITELY an iOS 6 problem. I'm currently using my wife's 3rd gen iPad (iOS 5.1.1) connected to an airport express to post this. My identical 3rd gen iPad (sitting on the couch next to me) which I just upgraded to ios 6 will not connect.


I love apple products and all but this is a pretty sizable screw up. How many millions of people bought these things? And you push an update like this? Yikes!

Same issue as everyone else, but I've been able to get Wi-Fi connection to work briefly/intermitently. My configuration is:


  • iPhone 3GS/iOS 6 (no problems)
  • iPhone 4/iOS 6 (no problems)
  • iPhone 4S/iOS 6 (no problems)
  • iPad 3/iOS 6
  • Time Capsule (Late 2011) with WPA2


I have forced a reboot (simultaneusly pressing power button and home button until Apple logo appears) on multiple occassions. It wasn't until the 2nd time I turned Wi-Fi off/on in iOS 6 settings that I could maintain a Wi-Fi connection longer than 5 seconds. I started updating the 30 apps that were available and it worked for about a couple minutes (got 1 app updated) and then Wi-Fi connection died again.


Forced another reboot and re-joined Wi-Fi again. After a couple of failed attempts its working again (for the time being at least)...
