iOS 6.1 - Still without wifi (grey out button) - grrrrr :(

After installing iOS 6.0.1 did you do a reset on the device? Since the installation did you try to Reset Network Settings? After that look and see if it is still greyed out.

Did you try the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559? If not, I guess Apple is the next step.

I was so stoked when I saw the update on iOS6 had mention of "wifi issues" in its list of bug fixes, but alas, my 3GS is still without wifi connectivity...I've tried restoring, resetting and speaking to my internet provider folk (even though all other devices still working fine)... Frustrated!

Here in Oss, Netherlands same problem. Still waiting for a solution from Apple. It's unbelievable that this issue keeps being ignored by them. With so many people complaining (more than 200 pages now in this forum concern this issue) this can't be called "rare" anymore (sic, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Has Apple changed from inspiring first mover to a numb cash cow?

Hello! I had the same problem with greyed out wifi on iPhone 4s on 6.0.1. I have just updated to iOS 6.1 and the wifi now is working fine. I know it's been several months, but have you updated yet today?

Another temporary fix I've seen thrown around is to put the phone in the freezer for 5 or 10 minutes after draining the battery. Resets some memory device or some such thing.

Good luck!

Hello

same problem with me

i had this greyed out wifi since the up date 6.0.1

and today i've updated to 6.1 >> still the same problem

Read the rest of the messages for solutions. But note that you may have a failed WiFi chip.

what messages ?

and i don't think that i have a failed WiFi chip . it's just about ios software

There are 10 messages on this page. I don't care what you think, if you tried the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 (which has been referenced twice on this page) and none of them resolve the problem you have a hardware failure.

Thank you Lawrence Finch

i tried all of them except putting the iphone in the frezer for 5-10 min

----

and i didn't do this step >> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

cuz it will remove all my data and informations

That's the one that might work. Let us know!

I think i will try this .. after draining the battery

UPDATE: After about 20 minutes, WiFi failed again. Called Apple and after about five minutes the Customer Service Rep agreed that I had an exchange-worthy problem on my hands. I should only be out a phone for a few days with Express Exchange or whatever it's called.

Best of luck, all, but it seems like a hardware sensor failure to me, where the sensor can be reset but then when something heats up, it switches off as a precautionary measure. That would allow for the cold of a freezer to reset it when the battery is drained, but it only resets it, does not fix it. You'll have to freeze your iPhone all the time, I imagine. If you live in Siberia or the Antarctic, you might not have this problem, but the rest of us... you probably just need to replace the phone.
