iOS 6 is now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and although we’ve heard mostly good things, it seems that some iPhone and iPad owners are unable to connect to Wi-Fi after installing the new iOS 6 update. . Fortunately, there seems to be a fix for the issue that should get things back to normal if they haven’t already.
iPad and iPhone owners are seeing the issue where their devices cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks even though the network is available. Users say that after trying to connect to a Wi-Fi network, cellular data came back and they were strangely taken to an Apple.com page that could not be found.
By Mac Observer, this has to do with a severe outage that interrupted Wi-Fi for many users. It disconnected them from the Wi-Fi connection and did not allow them to reconnect.
For most, if not all, the problem should be fixed. But for those who still can’t access W-Fi, here are a few fixes you can try.
