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

iPod touch, iOS 6.1

OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"

-No security

-WEP

-Reset network,

-Complete reset and reload on the phone

-ETC ETC ETC


Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.


Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.

Hi, my wifi button is grayed out too, and updating my iPhone to iOS 6.1.1 didn't work at all. I ran out of MB so now I can't even connect into the internet. I tryied everything, from reseting network connections to restoring the iPhone completely, nothing works. I'm from Venezuela so obviously I can't send my iPhone to be fixed. At first wifi just dropped, now its grayed out. Lost all my apps on the restore process :/. I'm using an iPhone 4s, 32GB, bought it less than a year ago.


If someone on Apple is reading this, PLEASE work on it. Im desperate, really, I need my Wifi connection, otherwise i miss out on work stuff.


PLEASE work on this, I really trust you guys.

Hope you find a solution soon enough.

Ok, so here's the deal, putting the iPhone in the fridge for half our did work, it unlocked the wifi button so now I can turn it off and on. Nevertheless, it's still not conecting to any network for more than 30 seconds, and now it doesn't even recognize any around me (and there are lots, trust me).

So, problem half fixed.

Dear Apple, could you please work on this issue asap?

Thanks.

I am having major issues with this new update, and quite frankly it's very annoying. In my household there are 2 iphones and 2 ipads, all of which were working fine before the update. Both iphones and ipads now won't connect to the wifi since the update. It is getting very frustrating, I wish I had not done the update and will be wary in future. Why havn't apple come out with a statement or ways to fix the problem as looking through various threads it had been going on for some time. The phones especially are due for an upgrade soon, if things arn't sorted asap then we'll be seriously thinking about moving away from apple.


*Note to self, read others verdicts before attempting an update!

I also pdated my iphone to iOS 6.1 my wifi became a problem. At home my wifi connection does not works unless I am in same room as router.,where before it auto connected the moment I came haome. It does not even auto connect in the same room however. I must manually ask for it. Same issue when I go to my parents house . What might be the problem? I reset the network settings on my phone but it dosent help. Also with SOME public wifi spots I can have full bars but am unable to connect.

is there any point to this forum anymore?????????? Apple dont read it....they never respond to questions...


i have owned an iphone and an ipad since they were introduced..replaced items with new products as they came out......never had any issues until ios 5 was updated to ios6.....now my Apple 'top of the range'' goods are a p.o.s.....my £100 android tab kicks the pants off them for speed and reliability when using the net...


shame on Apple for using customers as r and d .....no wonder Apple shares have crashed....glad i sold mine last year !!!


i think there will be plenty of apple products on ebay this year...........
