Hi Arrrrgh

I tried a variation on 'gfindley' suggestion, try this


Turn off wi-fi, turn off BT, turn off cellula data & 3G and then turn on Airplane Mode


Goto Settings/general/reset/Reset Network Settings and follow instructions.


Upon restart turn on wi-fi, connect to your network, you should be asked for the password,


Few seconds of the wheel of desperatation and hopefully like mine you will connect.


Hope this works for you, I've been at this all day.


Really annoyed that the so called high level experts, who have been missing form these sites all day, have left it to the first timers to sort this out. I hope they dont expect points in future for sorting out issues.


Good luck

I updated my 4s today morning, so when it turn on after the update I couldn't use Wifi at all, It was like if the wifi button were block, It wasn't working, So I restored the phone via Itunes and then it worked, but after like 5 hours i had the problem again, so I decided to call apple and we tried everything and nothing works :-( and they told me'' Oh that's happening to a lot of persons, sorry for it'' and they were trying to help me but nothing worked, But The representative told me I can get fixed with the days, ( as we all know) and the other thing they told me was to restore the Phone Again. I Want My WiFi Back! anyone had the same problema as me? Let me Know what you did!

I have the Netgear w624 v3 and am logged onto my desktop with it right now. My Ipad 3 can't log onto it after the IOS 6 update ands I have tryied everything here to no avail. My love of my Ipad 3 has been put on hold as now it's just an expensive paperweight. I was so looking forward to IOS 6, now I regret today for not waiting longer until others tried it first. HELP APPLE !!!!!

I got mine working by changing the firmware on my Netgear WGT624 v3 router back to an older version. There is a youtube video on how to do this. My ipad now is no longer just a paper weight. I actually can connect to my home network thanks to others who had the same problem and figured out by luck or whatever, a possible fix that worked for me. Good luck all.
