Getting page not found on iPad for WiFi verification

So I just upgraded the iPad to IOS6. I connect to my wifi network, it connects, pulls up the Apple page (the one that usually pops and disappears, I guess it's checking something on that page to verify network connection). Instead of going away, it's displaying Apple's 'Page Not Found' and on the top bar it says 'www.apple.com' and 'Log in'. I have no log in for my router, I'm clearly online as I can browse all of Apple's website, yet the ONLY option I have is click 'cancel'. I used to remember you can tell it not to do a network check, I can't even turn that off.


Any one else seeing this?

I'm having this problem intermitantly. Can get it to connect and if I get out of Settings quickly it will stay connected.


I also did this and it seems to have worked:


Click on the blue arrow beside the Network name


'Forget the Network'


Select the network and put in your password..


Make sure Auto Connect is On when you rejoin a network after 'Forgetting' it.


Carry on...

Had the same problem. Wireless network was detected then lost and Apple page not found error displayed.


Cleaned out the Safari cache and fogot wireless network as some suggested, but seem to have fixed the problem by turning Bluetooth off. Wireless network then came back to life. Turning Bluetooth back on doesn't affect the connection.


Not sure if this is a permanant but has done the trick so far.

I had this problem and found a solution: I was getting disconnected from my wifi network just like you describe, as well as many others here. In settings, I turned off wifi, then turned it back on, chose my wireless network and it showed that I was connected to my network. I immediately pressed the home button, not waiting to see that blank page come up that says "apple - log in, page not found" again... On my home page I opened an app that requires a network connection - I used Netflix. I was prompted to enter my Apple ID password and voila! That seemed to have fixed it. I opened iTunes and signed in with my apple ID password again and everything is working now.


Good luck!
