Sep 19, 2012 4:19 PM in response to thomas wittby usernametaken75,Same issue here - iPhone 4S and New iPad WiFi + AT&T LTE. It's similar to the Apple splash screen you see when you walk into an Apple store with WiFi enabled. It's essentially a login page which now throws a "Page Not Found" (404) error. Obviously it's working on my Mac (just updated to OX 10.8.2 and was working on both iOS devices prior to the iOS 6 update.

Sep 19, 2012 4:19 PM in response to LugorIVby agentgonzo2,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.
