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

One poser here had the key that was a file missing on apples website. Now it's back, everything works.

I did that first but it didn't work for me. I was really just trying my luck before doing a restore to factory settings.

Turning off "Ask to Join Networks" works. Wireless stays connected now.

****, meant poster, not poser. **** you autocorrect!

putting my post here as well:

PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:

Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol

I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.

My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.

My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).

There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4311360?answerId=19626235022#19626235022

What happens is simple:

1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.

2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.

3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"

4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)

I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.

Here's what worked for me:

I have two wifi connections: my uVerse wifi and my iPhone 4 mobile hotspot.

For each one, I went into the network settings and selected auto-join "on"

After I did that, when I connected to one of the 2 networks, that weird apple.com log-in page not found web page didn't come up and I was able to use my iPad like always.

this worked for me. (connected to my macbook over bluetooth, and then agreeing to icloud settings) now my ipad 2 with iOS6 can connect to my home wifi with WAP2 password settings. thanks!

Should be working now. The authentication page was down and now it's back up.

Apple web page outage inadvertantly disabled iOS 6 device WiFi networking

I had the same problem on my iPhone 3GS. Since I'm travelling and can't play around with resort routers, I decided to revert to my previous backup. I thought it would also revert to IOS5 (I'm not an expert on iPhones), but it didn't. I restored from backup and now my wifi is working even though the phone shows that it is still using IOS6 (settins > general > version = 6.0) and the new Passbook app is still on my phone. Go figure.

clearing the history and cookies works. thank you, Alemarvi

"Forget the network" then rejoin

Im having the exact same problem on my 4S trying to access my home network, i have a time capsule as my router and it definitley does not need a log on but im still getting taken to the apple page and kicked off my network every few seconds.

Despite this however i can still connect and use other networks seemingly with out a problem, i've tried one other network so far and its working fine.

Hey Rico1349 + Others

Looks like you have a working solution

(iPad3)Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings.

It reboots the iPad as part of the process

Reconnected to WPA/WPA2 (AES/TKIP) enabled wifi.

All working and Stable

Thanks

ALL - HERE IS THE FIX. I was able to identify this since I just upgraded my phone and it worked fine. When I connected my phone to my home wireless - all was good. I then updated my I-Pad then all wireless stopped working. I noticed on the phone the same page "page not found" error showed up except on the phone it said log-in. So - I figured it was because it could not log into the i-tunes store. I launched I-tunes on my I-Pad, logged in and in a minute or so all was good.

Prior to this I deleted my IP Addresses that were assigned to the phone and the I-Pad in my wireless router - just in case. I even reconfigured the wireless network on the i-pad - did not work.

Enjoy.

Hard reset on Ipad 3 didn't work, changing wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal and "forgetting" the wifi settings then inputting the passwords again did the trick, now wifi works again.. 🙂

Still, quite nasty surprise from the best system in the world 😉
