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

• Launch Settings app

• Tap on Wi-Fi

• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Unable to Connect After iOS Update - saw this solution on another post.

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.

If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

I updated my Ipad2 to IOS6 when it came out. My wifi problems started immediately. The signal which used to be perfect in my house is now very very weak. Same in all my office wifis. ie, basically I cant use my product on awifi anymore. I have read all these threads, and searched the interenet, watched the videos to solve it.

Nothing works.

I read some people are saying I need a new router becuase IOS6 doesnt talk to old routers.

Now, I cant belive Aplle havent solved this.

I have a product which basically Apple has rendered useless.

I am thinking on moving to Samsung, because the IOS6 has been an unmitigated disaster, and clients have been left totally in the dark.

So I ask apple, should I wait and have them fix it, or just give up on IOS?

I'm mad as ****. All devices are working: MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone 5 ... and even my ancient 1st Gen iPad are all working just fine! But my brand new iPad Mini will not connect to my Wifi, and the problem started just after the "update" to 6.0.2 NO WIFI, cannot connect ... piece of sh*t, Steve would be furious! I've tried everything posted, but still get "Unable to join the network" EVERY God d*mn time. And why does this edit out my profanity? Nerds, that only makes me madder!!

yup same problem here when i got my iPad Mini on Nov 7th the wireless worked everywhere with ios 5.1.1 getting the same signal strength as my 4G iPod touch ( i test it just for kicks good thing i did ya ?). When I updated to 6.0.0 I noticed the wifi will drop and disconnect and sometimes pick up and have full bars but no actual internet was transferring I can move a meter away if am lucky from my router and it will lose all wifi furthermore nothing changed with this “fix” 6.0.2 update still the same problem

yeah same problem with me ,

before the 6.0.2 update came out the wifi connection is a bit disturbing but it still connect

BUT now it didnt connect at all. all of my other devices and iDevices works fine except for my ipad mini

the update said it fixes wifi bug but it seems it has not

please apple , DO SOMETHING

For me, 6.0.2. IS THE PROBLEM!! My iPad mini worked great until the "update" ... Apple "Genius" fix the f**king software (malware) you've infected us with!!

the issue is that the ios 6.0.2 is newer software than everybody's router's firmware. They should tell you that before you update. Of course a older version of software works fine with a older version of firmware. Apple should give people that info before they update. I posted this link at apple.com/feedback. This is where the "engineers" are supposed to see all of the feed back.

I am experiencing the same wifi problems. The recent software update did nothing. Getting very tired of Apple.

I also got this irritating problem... Is there some way to solve it? Or I should buy a google product instead! :)
