WIFI prob? (latest update 6.0.2) iphone5

After the most recent iOS update (6.0.2), my iphone seems to not find wifi connections appropriately..which causes my battery to drain a lot faster. If my phone DOES find a wifi connection, upon connecting, there will be no wifi connection icon at the top of my phone screen. Frankly, sometimes the phone won't even display the router, when there is CLEARLY a wireless signal present. The connection continuously drops. This didn't start happening until the most recent update of iOS.

Is anyone else having this problem? I am certain this has upset a lot of users....Feedback appreciated.

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Have you tried rebooting your phone?

That did not work..it is a problem with the update 6.0.2. This is unacceptable.

The iOS 6.0.2 update works fine for me on my iPhone 5.

Try Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset network settings.

I tried that, JimHdk (thanks for the advice), but it's not working for me.

My iPhone 5 (6.0.2) can locate my network, and it even seems to accept my password, but it shows the little spinning wheel next to my network name and is never able to actually make the connection. As such, I can't backup to iCloud and my battery drains quickly. Any additional help or ideas would be much appreciated -- thanks!
