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.

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.

My chronology:

1. Download iOS6 OTA ... just begin

2. Lost all Wifi... enabled but cant detect any wifi .. OTA not completed

3. Download & update to iOS6 via iTunes

4. Wifi grayed out

5. Switch off for 5 minutes and restart

6. Managed to enable wifi and connect to wifi ... working

7. Out of sudden, lost all wifi again... enabled but cant detect any wifi

8. Switch off for 5 minutes and restart

9. Wifi grayed out again

10. Repeat switch off but still grayed out
