Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?

I'm currently waiting on Apple support to call me back about this issue, but I thought I would reach out here to see if anyone else is having similar issues.


I upgraded to IOS 6 yesterday afternoon, and immediately after I could no longer connect to the Wifi at my place of employment. Everyone had this issue, no big deal.


Went home, Wifi worked fine.


Came into work this morning and I am still unable to connect. I have tried all of the various recommended fixes, and even gone so far as to do a complete restore. I work at a university with multiple networks and access points and have tried connecting to several, both secure and unsecure, with no luck.


This is what happens:

Unsecure Networks: Attempt to connect, wheel spins, Error Message: "Unable to Connect"

Secure Network: Attempt to connect, prompted for password, enter password, Error Message: "Incorrect Password" (Yes I entered the correct password, I tried multiple times, and the IT tech was able to connect to it with his iPad 2 running IOS 5)


I am also not the only one, everyone on campus who has upgraded their iPad 3 to IOS 6 is unable to connect. (All staff/factulty have iPads, most have upgraded)


I have spoken with the IT department and they are baffled, they have tried rebooting various routers and access points to no avail.


Obviously there is something different happening in IOS 6 that is causing these issues. My question is has anyone else encoutered this issue, and if so what have you done to fix it?


I have seen people above who have upgraded firmware on their personal wireless routers with success, but for a university with literally hundress of access points and routers this is out of the question, at least in the short term.

I am having a similar issue: I can connect to my home wifi, but that connection sticks for seconds at a time as it switches over to 3G and back again. I have reset my network settings, activated airplane mode, switched wifi on and off, restored my phone to factory settings, visited the apple.com "success" page and so many other things I have seen on these forums and I STILL cannot get it fixed.


I hope a visit to an Apple store will be fruitful.

Have tried every single "fix" people have posted. Have also restored 3 times. I have a 4s and cannot connect to my house network. A lot of people ( who have solved the issue) mentioned that when they tried to connect to a wifi network when iOS 6 first came out, an in app browser brought them to a apple page that displayed a 404 error. I have never gotten that in the (about) 100 times I have tried to connect to wifi. Anyone in the same boat as me?
