No one here can answer why apple hasnt released a update we arent apple. what have you tried so far? this will up us will you support

Some things to try first:

1. 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.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

3. 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

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.

@TexasMacMan - You replied to a similar post by me regarding the ios6 iPad3 wifi issues but it was deleted by apple before I could reply. Thank you so much for the info you provided. Although it didn't fix my problem completely, I am able to sustain wifi connection for longer periods of time. Clearing safari history & deleting cookies keeps me connected for an entire day. Thanks So Much!

I can confirm Andrews problems - my wifes iPad 2 is experiencing the exact same issue. I am typing this on my Macbook Air, on the home wifi network, and the iPad cannot see it or any of the neighbours networks at all. Even manually entering the SSID and security details it will not connect. I have done the usual power down and network reset steps - to no avail. We tried using the iPhone as a personal hotspot, and the iPad connects fine to it (sharing the iPhones connection via wifi, not bluetooth) - so thats a viable workaround for us - not sure if it works for Andrews case.

I don't really mean to reply to the original post but this is what I have to do during the last couple of days. First of all, the issue isn't really with the IOS 6 upgrade. At least not for me. After attempting the usual fixes that I have read in various threads, I finally had to have Comcast come out. We did have a much older modem and a fairly old router. Once he replaced that with the newer Arris, I connected without a hitch! So, I am thinking that the majority of folks might want to look to their own routers and modems and perhaps download the latest firmware. I couldn't do that because there simply wasn't an upgrade. So, I now had connectivity but Apple applications would not accept my password no matter how many times I tried. Long story short, I had to dis-enable my Firewall, reset password again and it worked. Then went back in and enabled Firewall settings. Anyway, just thought I would throw this out there as I know there are a slew of posts about these issues.

I fixed my ipad2 by trying everything that I could find, including backup and restore, and then selecting to reset->location and privacy settings! Good luck.
