Although there are many users who do not have problems using WIFI connectivity on your iOS 6 device, there is another collection of users who they do report bugs when using the 802.11 protocol. The symptoms that can be perceived are a low signal coverage, pages that do not load in Safari or the inability to connect to a network.
If you are one of those who are experiencing this type of problem, you can try carry out the following steps and see if the fault is solved.
Skip the network and reconnect again
Skip the network you are connected to and trying to reconnect can be a quick solution to problems caused by WI-FI. It is the quickest way to check if the bug fixes itself or if you need to explore the problem further.
The steps to follow in this case they are:
- Enter the settings menu
- Access the Wi-Fi menu
- Click on the blue arrow of the connection that gives you problems
- Click on the "Skip this network" button at the top
- Accept the action taken
- Return to the Wi-Fi screen where all the connections detected by the iOS device appear
- Select the same network again and enter the password.
That's all. Work safari or any other application that requires internet access and check that everything works fine. If this is not your case, try the following options.
Reset network settings
If you continue to have problems after trying to reconnect to your regular network, you need to try resetting network settings that your iOS device has memorized. This will not make you lose the content you have stored in it, only the network settings.
The steps to take in this case they are the following:
- Enter the Settings menu
- Click on the «General» option
- Go down until you see the Reset option and enter it
- Click on the button «Reset network settings» and accept.
After confirming the reset, the device will reboot. What you have to do next is try to connect to the Wi-Fi network again to see if your problems have been solved.
Restore iPhone or iPad
If the glitches persist, tap on the strongest option. Restore iPhone or iPad to rule out that the failure is software. Remember to make a backup before this step, otherwise you may lose important content.
If you have a guarantee, make use of it
We have tried three options to fix the connectivity problems but the bugs persist. If you still have your iOS device under warranty, the most sensible thing is that you make use of it by going to a physical Apple Store or calling the SAT. If you go to the store, they will exchange your device for a new one (or refurbished) in a matter of minutes.
In the event that you do not have a warranty, you have to call a store that makes repairs of this type or if you are handy enough, you can open the terminal yourself replace the faulty component. Obviously it is not an easy task but if we put effort into it, we can do it calmly and with a lot of patience.

I consider a somewhat extreme solution to have to send a device to the SAT due to a software failure, more than anything because it will continue to fail since the problem is in iOS 6
The steps go from more to less aggressive. If you notice, restoring the iPhone has a bold underline that serves to "rule out a software failure" so the following solution involves the hardware and, unfortunately, the SAT. Greetings
For what it's worth, Wi-Fi started to give me problems some time after I had iOS 6 installed on my iPhone 4 (it connected to the network, but it wasn't going or it was very slow with very small peaks in which it did I was going)… it was solved by restoring network settings or simply restarting the device, in my case with redsn0w when the jail was done, but soon I had problems again, sometimes not after a day. I started to think what it could be until I realized that the problems were caused by installing the gmail 2.0 application. Well, I uninstalled it, restarted the device, and I have been several weeks without a single problem, as before putting the gmail. Therefore, if you have it, you should still consider that this is the origin of the problem.
Hello, good night …… I'm just learning to handle my iPhone 4s and the truth is that I have a problem, my apps close on their own, preferably on Facebook, I have my iPhone, they are the current ios and I don't have any jailbraek… .please give me some solution
Poor Nacho, they were waiting for you to work on the article to get the update to 6.0.2 😛
Perfect! I have reset the network settings and the Wi-Fi signal is now full. Thank you very much for the article ... And by the way congratulations for the web that is great
Let's see if someone helps me, for 2 days I have pending updates in the appstore of my iphone 4s and I give it to update and it does nothing, nor does it let me install any application ... I have 2.2 GB of free space
I think that in mine I already have it solved, or at least it no longer gives me any problem, I only had to change the section from DHCP to BOOTC, prove that many of you will surely do well!
And by the way leave it in automatic, try that in case the rest has not served you, I already omitted the network and it did not serve me.
My problem is that it does connect to Wi-Fi but it doesn't send me images with iMessage, it starts but then stops and after a while it tells me a message not sent, however with 3G there is no problem, with the IPad it happens exactly the same. I have already tried to bypass the network and reset the network settings and they remain the same, can someone give me a solution?
Hello Good morning I have an iPhone 4S for a year and always
It worked perfect for me. Until yesterday that I turned off the Wife APPEARS
Disabled. Although I turn on and off the equipment, it is still disabled,
previously with this I solved some connection problems that
I chose to go to settings and I gave reset Wifi settings everything seemed to be
Well the wifi was enabled for a few hours. Until I enter Facebook and
then it was enabled again until today I can no longer enable it
I mean the little blue button where you turn Wi-Fi on and off. Now i don't know what
I only have 3G enabled and in my house I always use the Wi-Fi in my house because
it is much faster. I have updated the equipment until IO6.2 I think I am the last

The same thing happened to me, I did everything but nothing worked. They finally changed it because it was a hardware problem and not a software problem.
