I updated my iPhone 4S's iOS version to iOS6.0 yesterday, and found that the device can connect to wifi for a litter time, like about 30 second,during this time ,I can surf the net,and then it lost connection,after about 5 second, it connect to wifi again, and lost connection after a while again,too.,

I have tried my best to use any solutions what I found on the internet, finally, all failed.

1.reset the settings

2.restart the phone

3.turn off/on the wifi and 3G

4.change the http proxy to 'auto',

5.restore the phone twice through iTunes

6.turn off/on the WIFI router

All failed, I just want to know what can I do next?

Whick solution can solve this wifi problem,I am very disappointed with iOS6 and apple

This problem makes me wish Steve Jobs' still alive... I guess most of those he left are "rotten" apples.... iOS6 is giving me migraine... I wish they'll fix it soon, coz my device gets useless everyday, everyday I find a new problem with the latest update... grrr

Apple acknowledges issue and sends a fix to Verizon users phones!

New Knowledge Base for this even.

The Verizon fix seems to be applicable to only Iphone 5. I have Iphone 4S which still has the problem and no update has been available that fixes this issue.

This is most likely a problem with the security setting on your router. In my case the issue was with my Apple Airport Exreme. (I have an older Airport Express at another location and did not have these problems with either my iPhone or iPad.)

My solution was to turn off all security settings on my Airport via Airport Utility. This forces the base station to reboot after which I had excellent wifi on my iPhone and iPad. Then I restored my security settings and the base station once again rebooted. Eveything worked fine.

I'm aware that this solution might not be applicable to all routers.
