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

Hi Farid. Did it happen again after syncing your phone with iTunes?

Hi Folks,

No answer for this just getting into the thread so I can be notified when Apple fixes this.

I have 2 iPhone 4S, both upgraded to IOS 6 OTA. One is fine, the other has Wifi On/Off toggle greyed out.

I've tried a lengthy list of resets. Nothing works.

iMad!

I had my iPhone 4S replaced at the Apple store with no argument after I explained all the hoops I went through with Apple phone support (the same hoops everyone here has been through). The 'Genius' said that an update to iOS 6 would be released 'in the next few weeks' but I get the feeling he knew no more than we do about it. He had seen a few other 4S's like this though.

I also made the 'Genius' update the handset to iOS 6 in-store as the replacement had iOS 5.1.1. out of the box.

Jumping in on this as experiencing exactly same issue (Wifi option completely greyed out, no manual fix working to restore). Apple please send an update fix out soon!

Mine is the same. Upgraded my new 4s via a cable. My Wi-Fi greyed out. Tried all the suggestions and nothing. Apple say "My phone is broken". O2 say it's a software problem. What do I do ? Apple is sounding like Microsoft, deny everthing admit to nothing !! Next time I'll get a Blackberry.
