I can't seem to connect to my wifi.

Ok so I just updated to iOS6 on my iPhone about ten minutes ago. Now I can't connect to wifi. I have to use my college's wifi so there is both a username and password but this was never a problem before. HELP!

iPhone 4S

Hi Everyone,


i have posted on the IPAD forum and now i'll post it here on the Iphone 4s with IOS6 upgrade


Go to Settings, General, About

Scroll down till you see Modem Firmware

Reply Back with your Modem Firmware

Modem Firmware: 04.12.02


If your Modem Firmware is LESS than the above, then you have the same problem as myself and many others with Wireless Connectivity issues to WAP's


It is my understanding, unless im proven wrong by anyone with my above findings, this can only be fixed by APPLE. I have reported this as a BUG

Hi Everyone,


Please refer to my post below of how i resolved my connectivity issue


https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4317427?start=585&tstart=0


In short: Netgear Prosafe WAP Wg102 : I had to downgrade firmware V5.03 to V5.01 and everything back to normal.


Netgear is aware of the connectivity issue with IOS6 and are in the process of writing a firmware for the device.


As a poster commented after my solution, these issues may not entirely be an APPLE fault, it could be firmware frmo your WiFi vendor which they sent to APPLE before they rolled out IOS6 which was buggy, hence having to "roll back" firmware.


Good Luck everyone

To ALL Apple Users:


I'd like to let everyone know that AFTER all my WiFi Woes since IOS6, based on my tests in my company, i can confirm that the below WAP now works with Iphone 5 with IOS 6.1. About time Apple fixed this.

IOS 5 is OK, but anything after or between IOS 6.1 is a disaster.


Netgear Pro Safe WAP WG102

Firmware V5.0.3


NOTE: Firmware V5.0.3 had known connectivity issues with Iphone 4S and Iphone 5 from my tests.


A NOTE for everyone, i'd be tweaking around with your FIRMWARE again on your WAP devices, perhaps you might have good luck finally like myself.

Now for a Slap to Apple,


As per your brief on the update:

Support Article: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/


Explain to me how all of a sudden

Netgear Pro Safe WAP WG102

Firmware V5.0.3


Is now working with the LATEST firmware on IOS 6.1.


The UPDATE is MORE than LTE support, seems like more support for WAP Devices somehow ?

Apple should publish EVERYTHING what was changed in this update

I can't seem to connect to my wifi.
