When will Apple get this iOS 6.0 WiFi mess fix? My iPad is absolete to me without WiFi.
iPad 2, iOS 6
If your wifi is not working take your iPad to an authorized service center. If you do not know how to configure your iPad to use wifi, read and the manual, or take it to an authorized service center and ask thenm to explain how to configure wifi.
Or, read this forum, or search the Internet, for advice about how to configure wifi.
Perhaps you would like to explain your problem. What is your WiFi nightmare?
Thanks BobTheFisherman...I guess I hadn't considered any of those options you suggested. Perhaps my CCNA/MCSE and a masters in sys eng rendered me less than capable of configuring a WiFi.
Btw Apple Inc., my wife's iPad which is running ios 5.1.1 is working almost flawlessly, as did mine prior to ios 6.0.
Thank you for asking. Since upgrading to iOS 6.0, my WiFi barely remains stable for 2 min b4 dropping connection. I had not that issue with the previous IOS (5.1.1). I've reset..., up-to-date w/ router firmware (Linksys) and Apple (which suggested waiting for an updated fix to IOS 6).
Still you haven't posted any details on your WiFi router or exactly what problems you are having.
You have to realize that only a very small number of users are having problems and those who aren't have no idea what you are talking about.
Also this is a user to user forum and no one here could answer your question. You are complaining to other users here not Apple. If you want Apple to hear use http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Yes...your WiFi is broken because Steve Jobs died. You hit the nail right on the head.
With all those letters and degrees you apparently didn't learn how to dial your phone and call AppleCare and you somehow forgot that WiFi issues, especially ones that are not global (my iDevices on 6 are connecting at multiple locations with no issue) are the hardest to diagnose and fix.
So be part of the solution and call AppleCare with all the details or use the feedback link and provide all the relevant details.
Too bad all those letters did not teach you how to post a problem/issue with enough details so that we can help you. Post some specifics and we will try to help you. I did suggested you search these forums. That is about all any of us can offer since you did not tell us about your network, equipment, or issue.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

It is unfortunate that Apple is falling behind without Steve Jobs. My Ipad is now useless without WiFi. Does anyone have an idea on how to get around this WiFi nightmare?
