Additional things to try.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Hey Im having the same issue. Just updated Iphone 3GS to ios 6 and when I try to connect to my home wifi a pop up screen comes redirecting me to apple.com where it is said that the page cannot be found. And thats all wifi is not connecting. I didnt changed anything...Steve died and everybody stopped working...

Same issues here too. after iOS 6 update, my iPad can't connect to any Wifi. (home wifi, phone tethered wifi)

a popup page always comes up connecting to apple.com which says page can't be found..

Same issues and those basic troubleshooting steps are not relevant in this case as this issue for me at least has occurred after the iOS 6 update. On an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. I'm stopping the update on my 3rd gen iPad as I don't want to deal with issue.

Essentially, attempt to access my WiFi network, login and then it appears that I'm logged in. Once I attempt to launch Safari I see the header stating Log In as if I need to reauthenticate but it takes me to the Apple.com website and I'm able to browse the Apple site but no other site as the browser bar is gone and only the log in header is shown.

I close Safari and attemp to download emails and updates but I'm stuck on the 3G network as my connection appears to be lost to my WiFi network.

Same problem here. Upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6 via OTA, can't connect to my home network anymore because it won't let me past the apple.com "page cannot be found" pop-up. So I basically just lost 80% of the functionality of my iPad because I upgraded my software. Help.

I am having the same exact issue as above with updated ipad3 - it won't connect to the same wifi it just used to download the update. I appear to connect in settings, but when I go back to icon page or safari, the wifi symbol disappears from the top of the screen. I hope this is fixed fast too - but how will those of us with the problem and using wifi sync, etc. get any update that fixes this if the wifi won't connect?

Same problem. WiFi dropping on iPad 3 (new iPad) after update to iOS 6.

I have an iPad 3 and had this issue when I updated to ios6. It would connect to my home network, but disconnect shortly thereafter. I tried rebooting, forgetting the network, etc. I fixed it by going into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Network Settings. Then, I rejoined and it worked. This obviously ***** because you lose all of your auto-join networks, but c'est la vie. Hope this helps....

I am having EXACTLY the same issue. I am guesing this is a bug in IO6? Not very happy. Does anybody know long it usually takes for Apple to fix these things? or is it my ipad?

I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 via OTA and cannot connect to my home WiFi network any moreAn apple.com "page cannot be found" pop-up appears then just brings me back to the list of Wifi hotspots. Tried this with other password protected networks and experience the same issue. Looks like the update has bricked my phone in terms of WiFi.

Do not update to iOS 6.

I'm having the same problem on both my iPad and my iPhone. I have a Apple Extreme router.

Thanks, I tried this, but it did not work?

Same problem here with iPad 2, OTA update

No problem with iPhone 4, iTunes update

Router: D-Link DIR 615

Resetting network settings did not work for me. Tried to connect to my wi-fi network, same apple.com pop-up before having to select "cancel"
