I have the same issue. What I've noticed is that when I connect to the network, it pops up one of those wifi authentication windows like I'm connecting from a hotel or something. But this is connecting to "http://www.apple.com" and the only thing the window says is "SUCCESS". I can't do anything. When I hit cancel it disconnects from that network since it thinks I haven't authenticated.


Where I work you can set up wifi accounts for guests, so I did that for myself and that worked because that popped up a real authentication page, but again all signs point back to a TEST page that apple has, so they seem to have left some beta code in here or something.


Haven't tried on my home LAN yet...hope it works!

I have the same problem - if I watch my phone it keeps switching from wifi to 3g to wifi to 3g, etc.


I have tried many different things, resetting network settings, restarting my phone (4s). I have decided for now to leave the wifi off, assuming it will drain my battery if it is constantly kicking off my wifi and then searching again.


Looking forward to a solution....

iPad 3, Windows 7 PC and I use iTunes to sync obviously. Been running iOS 6 for almost a week and it's been fine. I just installed the latest iCloud control panel for windows, synced my iPad, then tried to go back to regular use. Boom, I started getting kicked off my wifi within 30secs of signing on.


Reset my modem, router, etc, no go. Decided to uninstall that iCould control panel, as soon as I signed out, my iPad is back to normal. Very, very weird.
