Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?

I was having the same problem with my ipad2..I had to reconnect everytime i wanted use it.. 2 days later, it just fixed itself.. didn't mess with anything..apple knows there's a problem and their working their ***** off to fix it.. I know it's frustrating, but it's ok now.. 4s also..Good Luck!

Thats how my iPhone 4s and my iPhone 5 is now...its really annoying.

Yes very quiet. No public acknowledgement from Apple on the ios 6 wifi issues that I’ve found.

I would say this is a moment of truth.

They don’t even have the guts to admit a mistake was made or even to let us know they are working to correct it. How embarrassing…..

I’m sure if they had another wonder gadget to hawk they would be all over the front page.

Hmmmm. I'm having a dilemma here. I upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and if I'm close to my router the signal indicator comes on and the phone connects to the wifi just fine, but if I step away from the router like 10 feet, my phone doesn't even find the signal. I also dropped my phone a few days before I did the software update so I'm not sure if the drop could have hurt something. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The drop probably damaged or disconnected the WiFi antenna.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have it looked at tomorrow.

It worked with ios 5 after the love tap. Right? Then you installed ios 6 and it doesn't work. Ya I'd have them look at it. While your there ask how the progress with ios 6.1 is coming.

hey,, apple staff if you dont know how to answer the problems.. try to ask samsung.. try to copy their systems....

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!

Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!

When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!

You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!

Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????

Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)

Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!

APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!

I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

Seems pretty straightforward to roll back to ios 5 until Apple fixes the widespread wi-fi problem. A pain to be sure and a major failing in Cupertino but reverting to iOS 5 may be less aggravating.

I've also been bitten with the wi-fi connection issues on my Verizon iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and also my brand new MacBook air, and iPad 2! Fix this crap now or I'm done with Apple! This is going to cause me to use up my data because of not being able to use my home wifi. Does anyone know what's causing this or if there's a fix? I'm calling tomorrow to find out.

I'm having somewhat similar problem. Just realize it last night. My new iPad (3rd Generation, Wifi+Cellular) after updated to iOS 6 won't connect with my iPhone 4 & 4s wifi hotspot. But it works find through bluetooth hotspot. Then i try connecting my iPad to my laptop hotspot (using Connectify software for Windows 7), it works well thru WEP setting. But when I change to WPA2, my iPad able to detect it but wont connect. I think the bug got to do with WPA2 setting.

Come think of it, the day I've updated to iOS 6, my iPad need to reconnect to wifi everytime after it when to sleep. After waking up, it connect to the wifi normally but the internet connection just lost. I need to turn on and off my wifi in the iPad setting to get online. N some of the public wifis take longer time to connect (I mean a lot longer) compared to previous iOS. Now, I need to topup my internet prepaid and use more battery usage for 3G. I really need the wifi. A lot of my works depend heavily on iPad. Hope Apple fixs this quickly.

Hi All,

I have finally fixed mine....

What it came down to in the end was:

My wifi router was tkip pre iOS 6

I have changed it to aes com now & all working!

So, recommend changing your wifi encryption to the opposite of what it was pre update.

Kind Regards

This wifi bug is old and one solution with immediate results is to fix your wifi connexion to b/g instead of b/g/n.

Of course, this is linked to your modem and that's why Apple prefer to say nothing.

I will give you an update on where mine is at.

A recap of my problems first

• Using my wifi at home for my ipad and iphone, I cannot connect to anything which requires me to sign into the itunes store. Can't get an app, a song, anything. I get error message, "cannot connect to itunes store"
• Cannot do anything which requires loading a picture. Can't tweet a picture, can't email a picture, can't facebook a picture, can't look at my picture albums in facebook. It all times out, cannot connect to server as server is busy.
• I can also not connect to the webpage apple.com.au "request timed out"
• All of the above can be done on 3G or the apple store wifi or in a telstra shops wifi etc. The thing is, I have 100g of download on my home PC which I use the wifi off, I am NOT going to sit and use my prepaid 3G when I don't have to.. grrrrrrrr

So, I had a service call from Apple last night. They inform me my router/modem needs it's firmware updated. Meh, OK, so I will ring Telstra. (I am in Melbourne Australia)

I ring telstra, explain to them I need the router firmware updated as per apple request, (expecting a "this is not our problem, go back to apple"). They didn't have a clue what I was talking about. However, they said your modem is actually still under warranty. We will send you a brand spankin, up to date new one.

Brilliant!!! didn't expect that at all

I talk to my techo mate at work today, he is convinced once I get a new router it should all fix itself. (mind you, I had NFI what a router was, I said ummm I have a modem... yes you do he said but it's a router and modem in 1.. Ohhhh OK) lol.

Anyway, I am now waiting on telstra to send me the new, whatever it is. Once I install it, if it doesn't fix it.. then I am going back onto apples case BAD!!!!

I've never had any dramas with my wifi connection at all until this iOS 6 update.

I will keep you all updated once I install and test the new modem.
