iOS 6 Wi-Fi bug keeping users from connecting to their local networks

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Software, Wireless / WiFi,

We are hearing reports from users who have upgraded to iOS 6 today that are experiencing an odd Wi-Fi bug, and Gear Live has been able to replicate the issue on our iPhone 4S units.

Since the page doesn't even exist, you just end up getting a 404 error, and kicked off of the network that you tried to connect to. It remains to be seen how Apple fixes this, and if it is something that can be repaired in the back end, or if a new build of iOS 6 will need to be released.
