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 was having this issue after the upgrade where I could not connect and when I did it would take me to this phantom apple.com page that said it could not be found. After I did a hard power down and restart I was able to join a network that had no security encryption. Security encryption could not connect but will keep trying and keep you updated (iPad 2) iPhone 4s upgrade to IOS 6 worked great.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and set:


HTTP Proxy to Auto

Do a reboot of your iPad/iPhone.

Close the App store when it's rebooted

Turn off WiFi

Turn WiFi back on

Click the blue arrow beside your wifi network that it's been connected to, click forget this network

Reconnect to your wireless network. Make sure that HTTP proxy is set to auto (unless you use an HTTP proxy)



Both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S went just fine, but my sisters iPad 2 had issues. Doing exactly what we did above in that exact order fixed her problem. She did parts of the above, but not that in the full order. As soon as she did it, it worked.


Hope this helps

I think I know what the problem is.



Some time ago I read that each time the iPhone connects to a wireless network, it connects to a server URL apple to make sure the wifi network is free and does not require further authentication at the router (eg WLAN no password but with internet charges).

Apparently this page of the apple server is not reachable at the moment, and the iphone believes then you should login to the router (and this shows the page that says "the page you're looking for, etc. etc.").



The only thing we have left to do is wait for Apple to solve the problem at a server level.
