ios 6.1 wifi issue

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

I have had the iPhone 5 since the first day last September and the iPad 3 since Christmas. I have never had any internet connectivity issues with either, but after the iOS 6.1 update on Monday night, I have had intermittent wi-fi connectivity at both home and work. I have reset the network connection several times on both devices, but the same problem returns. I cannot acccess the internet without turning my iPhone's wi-fi off and using LTE, and I cannot use my iPad at all. I hope Apple corrects this issue quickly. Again, I NEVER had a problem before the iOS 6.1 update.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 5 after installing iOS 6.1. Wifi keeps dropping whenever it feels like it. There are times when the wifi doesn't come on when I unlock my phone. I have to go to settings / wifi connection so my phone will connect to it. Very agrivating to say the least. Never had an issue until I upgraded to iOS 6.1.


Can I go back to the old software?


Thanks Apple! I thought this new iOS was going to fix a wifi issue. Not create one....


Let me know the next time you plan on "fixing" my phone. I may hesitate on upgrading..

Apple finally fix the wifi problem I was having with iOS 6.0.2. Now since updating to ios 6.1 my WIFI IS TERRIBLE! My router is up to date. I have reset network settings and my phone and still nothing. I don't understand how hard it is to make something work right? My wifi goes in and out with iOS 6.1. This is getting to be ridiculous! iOS 6 ***** all together! I wish I could go back to ios5!

I'm having the exact same problem. I wasn't having any issues with wi-fi connectivity prior to 6.1, now i'm having them all the time. It either drops the connection, is EXTREMELY slow or it doesn't connect at all. This is happening to ALL wi-fi connections that I've tried connecting to (3 in total so far). It happened AS SOON as I updated to iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4S.


I now find myself using 3G more than wi-fi, which makes me terrified of seeing my next bill!


Apple, obviously this isn't a one off situation...Please do something to fix this!!!

ok i have a ipod touch 5g(yes i know for sure it is because i have 64gb)

I have had wifi problems with 6.0.1 but 6.1 fixed them. Now i am having

random glitches everywhere. My music app glitches. when i push next sometimes

it will jump to a random point in the song. And once the music app totally crashed on me.

Then the weather wouldnt show for atleast a whole 24 hours. Apple needs to

get thier crap together
