I recently upgrade my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 6.1. ever since then my wifi has been coming on and off at random times. i know it has to be a problem with the upgrade because it worked flawlessly before. all my other devices are hooked up to the same internet and the all still work. its very frustrating and i want to know if it can be fixed or if i can downgrade back to ios 6

Hi, I have the same problem, since I updated my iPad 4Gen to iOS version 6.1. Additionally I found that the iPad fails to connect to radios B / G / N (2.4 GHz), while if you connect to radios A / N (5 GHz) everything works fine.


When I had the version of iOS 6.0.1 everything worked fine, and now I can not downgrade my iPad.


I've done all the things I said in the Apple support and nothing.

Same problem with iphone 4s and Ipad 4, after updating via Itunes i have the same problem, Wi-Fi is continually dropping when I lock it or Auto-lock kicks in, reinstalled iOS 6.1 via restore donwloaded from Apple and no change, is the same thing always losing Wi-Fi connection. Could someone from apple acknowledge this issue, the support communities are full of threads like this.

After upgrading to 6.1 on my 3GS, same problem. No stabile Wifi and GPS anymore. Went to an Apple Store yesterday, they open the phone and make it free from dust at the connectors. Then phone worked again for short time but then same problem again. I cant reinstall iOS 5.1.1 for to check out if this would work better, but I guess it´s a seriuous software bug in 6.1.


APPLE - PLS FIX THAT SOON!!!!!!!!!

I am also having the same problem with my iPhone 5.... since the upgrade to iOS 6.1, the phone is incapable of holding a wifi connection for more than 30 seconds....


This screws up everything that uses data!! My phone is basically useless as a smartphone now unless I disable Wifi... which will lead to huuge data bills!!
