Wifi not working on IOS 6

Just updated to IOS 6 and everytime I connect to a local wifi safari opens up with the apple website, then fails to connect. Anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem with my iphone4... I'd select the network, it would join for a second and then go to the non-existant Apple page. I reset my router - still no fix. Then, on the phone, I went to settings>general>Software Update When the phone checked for an update, I finally got the option to enter in the password for my network and successfully joined. WIFI is working. Not sure how/why it worked, but it did. Hope that might end up working for other people! Good luck!

Same problem here. On my iPad 3, I tried all of the suggestions and ended up turning off my cellular data > selected my wifi and its sub-menu > Renewed Lease > re-activated cellular data > now my wifi stays put.


My past experience leads me to believe that because everyone is updating to iOS6 is massive volumes, issues are arising in Apple's servers. No big deal. Bugs are getting worked out. More temporary problems to come I'm sure.

I had the same issue, this is how I fixed it on my 4s... hope it helps someone else as I was getting angry too.


selected my network,

forgot it,

hard rebooted,

selected my network,

input password,

turned auto join on,

renewed lease,

did not back out waited for the ip data to populate.

hit the home button once I saw the bars go full and its been good since.
