iOS 6.0.1 WiFi Still Greyed Out

My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6 when it first came out, no problems whatsoever, until last week it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.

I waited for iOS 6.0.1 to come out as I understood that this was supposed to fix the problem many users with iOS 6 have been facing with WiFi connections, but this has not worked. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in February and have never dropped it and it has always been in a case. The WiFi was working great before I went to bed and the next morning it was no longer working.

I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.

updated to 6.1 today in the hope greyed out wifi would be fixed, alas no ... What now?

So, today after doing nothing, the WiFi magically worked. The same way as it got disabled, it got enabled. I sincerely don't know what has happened. And this still before updating to iOS 6.1. Before updating I made a last minute check to see if iOS 6.0.1 had any last words. It did. So, now, im waiting to update. Let's hope it keeps it this way.

Ok, I used to be a happy man. But it lasted just for a day. WiFi returned to be greyed out, and I can't update to iOS 6.1 I am really getting dissatisfied with Apple. They completely betrayed me. Their brand loyalty will be found damaged after this.

This issue started for me after upgrading to 6.1, so I'm not sure that is going to fix the problem either. The only way I've been able to get WIFI working again is doing a full reset ("Reset All Settings") which is a real pain.

Trying to downgrade back to iOS 6.0.1

Can't do this either.

If you are going to make your OS sh*t Apple, allow us to restore to a previous one!

Update iOS 6.1.1 DOES NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM!

iOS 6.1.1 released today DOES NOT FIX THIS!

Superb. I have the same problem, which wasn`t solved by update to 6.1.1.

Hey Apple: What are you thinking to solve this issue? Are you willing to pay me back my increasing carrier costs?

I am not very happy with this situation and the mass of growing issues with your products.
