Same here but on an iPhone 4. First time I updated it failed and the phone restarted into restore mode so I had to do a full restore and install it again.

Thought all was well until I just tried going on Safari and a screen opened saying it couldn't connect to the Apple page I was looking for. I've tried restoring network settings and reconnecting to my wifi after "forgetting" the settings but it keeps dropping the signal and bringing this Apple page up. One occasion the actual wifi button disappeared from the settings page!?


I have to be up in less than 5 hours for work so have no time to mess about which means I'm going to have to go without Internet tomorrow as I rely on wifi as we have no 3G round this way.


I thought these things get tested!?


Very annoyed!!!

I remember doing this for a previous os change on the 1st gen iPad. Things worked after that. On my 3rd gen iPad, after ota update to iOS 6, I tried this again, after not being able to connect to wifi at home, and getting the apple page every time I tried.., so, after I did the reset network settings, it worked for a minute or so, and now, it has started doing the same thing again.

Gr now, I have lte, so, although I cannot connect to my home network, and that's inconvenient, I can still get online ( to post this), but I hope apple cleans this up quickly...
