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

Here are instructions on how to downgrade your firmware. It is the only thing that worked for me after the most recent iOS 6 update:

Having the same issue w/ our netgear wgt624 v3 router and saw this post, as well as your youtube video. I see what you are talking about as far as going to the netgear site and dling the older firmware version. The problem I'm having is once I dl it to my desktop, it is a fragmented file. What do I do about this? That's as far as I've been able to get. TIA for any assistance.

I had this same problem. It would work some places and not others. The most frustrating is it just stopped working on my home network that uses WEP Encryption. I reset the network settings and nothing. I unplugged my wireless router, disconnected the Internet cable, waited 2 minutes, replugged everything in and WAM. I'm now connected back to the WiFi with my Ipad 3 using IOS 6.0.1.

Come on Apple, get it right!

This problem is intermittent. My iPad 3 or iPhone 5 can be connecting to the internet fine for many days, and then it will suddenly refuse to access the net despite the WiFi still connecting. The only sure way of fixing it is to restart or reboot the iPad/iPhone, which usually works until it happens again. I have a Netgear router.

If Apple doesn't fix the problem or at least acknowledge it, this will be the last iPad or iPhone I buy. (Just counted 10 iDevices in my house including the iPad 1).

How is there no response from apple 20 days later??? Our two 3rd gen iPads were working fine until I just bought a Mac mini. Now they fail to connect or find the network all the time. My wife's iPhone 4 and my android phone work fine, net gear router dual band. Mac mini and Apple TV connect ok but iPads are now not connecting, we upgraded to ios6 a while ago but have been hesitant to do the latest update. Do I return the Mac mini? Or all apple devices and get products that are supported my the manufacturer?

What's the official fix for this issue? 42 pages of the same comments isnt solving anything! Or do Mac people just sit around unproductively and wait for an eventual fix to magically happen?

I'm not sure if the issue that I had today is related to the issues here, but my office changed the wireless access password, and I could not get my iPad 3 on iOS 6 to either forget the network (that option was gone, as well as the 'Renew Lease' button) or let me update the password. I tried a some things mentioned - reset all network settings, soft reboot, hard reboot, going in and out of Airplane mode - even had my network admin enable WPA TKIP security) and nothing worked.

What finally did work was instead of clicking on the wirless network name that comes up in the list of available networks, I tapped the 'Other...' option, entered in the SSID/Network name, picked WPA2, and then was able to enter the new password. It then connected with no issues. I had not seen this suggestion anywhere in researching this issue, so I thought that I'd post it here.

Hope it helps.

I am using an newer iPad 16gb wi-fi + retina display. Had same problems connecting with Netgear R6300. This worked for me with a soft reset afterward (Main Button + Power button until apple showed on screen) . Did all the other tricks and connection kept going on and off or would last only about 10 seconds. Have been using for over 30 min., turning off and on etc. and still connected and able to browse with no problems! Thanks sci_guy for your post.

Hi

I had the same issues and finally changed my DNS settings.

Settings

Wifi

click on your network - blue arrow

DNS

change your DNS

Wifi

I changed it to 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 this suddenly got both my iphone 4 and Ipad 3 back to life. I had previously tried everything else but this for me was the magic cure.

I have and Ipad 3 IOS 6.0.1 and the same on my Iphone 4

Good luck everyone.

Hi

I have the same problem...and for the last 6 hours have tried EVERYTHING and I still have my iPad3 and Iphone 4s "unable to join...." I have also read the 42 pages within this post and tried every possible fix that people have recommended....but still nothing.

very frustrating!

please let me know if there are more like me or if anyone has found a fix for this.

here is my initial post:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4562586

I am unable to re-join my home network after changing the login password...all other devices (laptop, MacBook pro, apple TV, PS3, Wi-Fi Printer, etc.) have re-joined the network once the new password was input except my iPad 3 and Iphoen3s (both running iOS6.0.1).

I have been going through all the online sites to find a resolution to this however after: resetting the network settings, updating & downgrading my router firmware, restoring iPad, etc, etc, etc. i am still unable to join my home network.

Can someone please help or suggest how I could get my iPad re-connected as it is useless without an internet connection.

Thank you.

Finally fixed it!

This worked for both my iPad3 and iPhone 4s:

1- went to the phone's wifi setting and turn it off

2- pressed the power and home button until the apple logo showed up.

3- once it booted up, went to the wifi setting and selected my wifi network.

4-manually typed in the ip, subnet mask, and dns (because the DHCP was not loading)

I hope this helps!

Thanks to AJCL that has suggested the first 3 steps

Did pressing the Power and Home button reset your iPad to factory settings? Or better asked...did this wipe out all your apps on your iPad or were they still there when it restarted?

no, it wont wipout any data.

You're not the only one 🙂

by the way, none of suggested solutions above did work on my iPhone 4 with OS 6.

Poor me T_T

I think apple should launch new update related to this mess

Update:

I reset my WiFi router and my iPhone can connecto to the WiFi now 🙂

I was able to get my iphone and ipad 2 reconnected to my NetGear WNR834Bv2 router by going to the www.routerlogin.com and adding each device and their associated MAC address. After logging in, go to the Advanced area and select Wireless Settings. In the next window go to the Wireless Card Access List then click the Setup Access List. The next window opens up the current list of attached devices. If you don't see your iphone or ipad listed click Add and enter the deivce nickname and the MAC address for each device that isn't listed. Once all devices are entered hit Apply and then try to reconnect your devices to the WiFi network. This was successful for me and hopes this helps others.
