Sep 19, 2012 4:32 PM in response to LugorIVby randye009,Ok, having this issue too and found a weird fix that failed. Like everyone else the Log In screen is coming up and then wifi goes away when I hit cancel. I rooted around in the Apple pages till I clicked on a video link and it took me to Safari. Wifi started working and worked for about 5 min then the Log In screen popped up again out of no where. Wifi went away again. This is a huge issue Apple.

Sep 19, 2012 4:33 PM in response to LugorIVby agentgonzo2,PEOPLE! PLEASE STOP REPLYING WITH THE "ME TOO" POSTS. THE THREAD IS UNREADABLE. SEE MY RESPONSE AS TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. IT IS AN APPLE.COM PROBLEM AND NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WIFI SETUP, YOUR HARDWARE OR iOS ITSELF. IT WILL WORK AGAIN WHEN APPLE FIX THEIR WEBSITE.
Original post:
It's nothing to do with your home wifi or anything else that's under your control. It's a major F*** up by Apple.
When you connect to a wifi access point, your iOS device will try and get a web page from apple to test that it can get to the internet properly. If it can't get this webpage, then it assumes its behind a pay-activated wifi access point (like the ones you have to pay to use in hotels etc) and will try to take you to the signin page. For some reason that signin page it is looking for is messed up and it thinks its somewhere on apple.com that doesn't exist.
So what's happening is that apple have either taken down that magical 'portal' page and iOS devices think that they're not connected to the internet, or the fact everyone is trying to download iOS6 has crashed the website (DDOSed it) and it's not responding, so the iOS device doesn't think it can connect to the internet.
Either way, there is NOTHING you can do until Apple fixes the problem at their end with that 'portal' page.
