what wifi issue? :confused:

When you say you did a factory reset what did that entail? Downloading the full version and doing a clean install?

On my iPad WiFi is grayed out, you cant switch it on.

WiFi worked on iOS 5.1.1 but not on iOS6, 3G works, but safari crashes all the time.... Using Google chrome now.

I tried reloading the firmware from iTunes, went into settings and did a factory reset, all proved useless....

Oh well I guess it is just an expensive door stop now, Maps does not show my current location either
"no data available for your area" is what i get, so stick to iOS5 if you have not upgraded!

A number of Apple iOS 6 users say they still can't connect to Wi-Fi networks, and the problem isn't just with the iPhone 5.

Reports of the glitch have filled up 91 pages on Apple's Discussion Forums since September 19. Most users say the Wi-Fi option on their device is grayed out, preventing them from accessing the feature at all. Many have tried the usual fixes, such as reinstalling the OS, resetting the device, and even getting a replacement unit from Apple. But the problem persists.

Some users have said the bug is isolated to the iPhone 5. But many of the complaints on Apple's forums are from people using an iPhone 4S, iPad, or another Apple device.

iOS 6 users first ran into Wi-Fi problems shortly after the OS was released. Several people reported then that the Wi-Fi option was grayed out. The culprit was traced back to an offline Apple Web page that checks to make sure a Wi-Fi connection doesn't require a login. Once the page was brought back up, the glitch was fixed. Or so it was thought.

As is often the case, the issue affects some users and not others. I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 and have had no trouble connecting through Wi-Fi. So it's still difficult to gauge how many people are affected. That makes the problem more difficult to resolve since there are likely other factors involved than just the new OS.

These sort of foibles always intrigue me - I've also got a 3g/wifi third gen iPad but have had no problems. I upgraded when the GM was released which is why I wondered if you had done yours differently.
