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!

OK, somebody posted directions to get this fixed. First, click on the blue arrow next to the network you usually use. Then, click on "Forget this network." Then, put your password back in it. That should fix it. You will have to click on the "Ask to Join Networks" button again.


Thanks for the people who posted the solution. And Apple, big, big FAIL to you.

I have a workaround solution.


Problem summary:

iOS6 update causes wifi access on secure networks tomistake the network for a wifi hotspot with a captive portal. It opens the "safari" dialog to allow you to log into the non-existent hotspot. It goes to an Apple page by defult which is not found (I assue a check to see if there is really a network connection outside the "sandbox" t thinks you are in.

If you cancel it disconnects.


Temporary soluton until Apple addresses this:

1. Open the details for the network setting that is giving you a problem. (The little blue > arrow)

2. Click the Forget this network button.

3. Click the wifi button at the top to go backto the main wifi settings screen.

4. Under Choose a Network, click other.

5. Manually add the network SSID andd etails for your router security and password.


This worked on two iOS devices that broke on upgrade for me.
