iOS 6 WiFi option is GREYED OUT (unrelated to iOS 6 WiFi connectivity issues)

As reported in an earlier thread, since upgrading iPhone 4S from 5.1.1 to 6, the WiFi option is turned OFF and is greyed out/disabled. Have tried all combinations of hard/soft reboots, router resets, network settings reset, cleared cookies, etc. Nothing. The WiFi option is completely disabled.

WiFi worked fine prior to iOS 6. Now I can't turn it on. My wife's WiFi is fine, she can toggle on/off and hasn't had any other connectivity issues as reported by others.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Please call AppleCare about this issue, they need more information about this issue. You're definitely not the only one experiencing it according to this forum, and that means there are a bunch more people experiencing it who aren't saying anything. The more the engineers know, the more quickly they can fix it

sorry i wasn't clearer. what i did was go to mail, contacts, because some were greyed out and calendars

and reset all i had. they all said on but i turned each one to off then back to on..

then you can go to contacts and on the left it will say groups. under groups all groups should have a check beside each one.............

Did you upgrade to iOS 6 OTA (Over the Air) or were you connected to the 30pin connector? Just curious.

I did an OTA upgrade to IOS 6 and lost WIFI option immediately. Did hard reset - did not fix. Plugged into my desktop and upgraded iTunes, then synced - did not fix. Been thru all of the settings, trying multiple changes to no avail. I'd love a fix ASAP please Apple Support!!!!

More and more apple is starting to look like windows. Last week I updated my mac to mountain lion, at least three of my programs I use evryday didin't work.

Now I upgraded my iphone 4s to ios 6 and I have the same problem Trapdoresoth; I can't switch the wifi on or off.

I am very disappointed in apple, the second time within 1 week. I thought things always worked on a macc. A lot has changed since Steve left us.....

Is there a sollution for the wifi problem yet ??
