Can't join home network after upgrade to iOS 6

I use. Cisco router

I got rid of net gear. I use too have a long time a go

Snow,

I think you are experiencing a different problem; we all have the same Netgear model, and restores do not work for us. I am glad to hear you fixed your issue with a restore, but that doesn't work for us.

Great White,

Actually, I tried disabling my router's authentication entirely, and I got the same response. In fact, I tried entering lots of bogus passwords and, again, I still got the same response. No matter what I enter, no matter what the authentication is (or even if there IS any authentication), the reply is always "Unable to join network".

When I try to join my neighbour's networks (they have different routers), I get the incorrect password response. But with my Netgear router, it is always the same.

Sorry guys this trying too help

Guss. Sam no help.

I continually try the password. I believe it is the same issue as the iPad, just in different words..... I have checked the password with my MBP and both my wifes and daughters 4s' on 5.x and works fine for them.

GW,

Good thinking. I'm on the phone right now with a senior advisor at Apple, so hopefully they can alert those who can do something about it!

I am interested as well.....lets hope there is something they can do to help us ole netgear users.

Just got off the phone with Apple's higher-tier techs.

Here's the deal: they were unaware of the issue, but they know now. I've copied the router log to the advisor, and let them know this is an issue regarding Netgear WGT624v3 routers. All of this is going to be given to the engineers, and it has been marked Rush.

The senior advisor I spoke to was very polite and knowledgeable, and she gave me her contact information. They would like us to keep them updated if things suddenly start working and, for their part, they are going to keep us apprised of what is going on and how long it will take. They might also contact me with requests for info. that could help them out. So, if you have any logs of your own, or anything that might be germane with regard to solving this issue, please post them here!

Bottom line, though: it won't be fixed tonight. The engineers have gone home for the day, and I understand they've been 'swamped' (no surprise). My guess is that, if we're lucky, we'll have an update next week. 😟

Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of better news. Best advice I can give is bookmark this thread, as I will update with any developments I get from the senior techs.

Thanks for getting somewhere with the support members.....I will keep looking at this thread and keep checking my ipad and iphone to see if the issue has resolved. I can only hope that this issue is fixed quickly, though I know that we are only a small percent of users that are without wifi access........Let's hope it is easier to fix that it sounds!

GW,

The Case No. is 351240001.

You are correct in that the router log via the webapp does, indeed, only list access to blocked sites--however, the CD version of software that I got ages and ages ago (at least, I think it came with this router) included a troubleshooting program to monitor the router's network traffic when logged in as an admin.

Re. calling: the best way to avoid waiting on hold for a year and a day is to go to the Support section of this site, and then go through the various hoops of what device you have and what is wrong--and then, you can have them call you at a designated time. Much better than listening to muzack (though, they were playing some pretty funky tunes from the 70s when I was briefly on hold).

Good luck!
