ios6 and the Wifi issue

To those facing a problem with wifi after upgrading to iOS6...I have managed to get around the problem in my devices.

If ur ISP requires you to login to ur net(mine requires me to login every 12 hours)....do it from any other non apple device first and then connect your Apple devices to wifi.....the solution is that simple!!

iOS6 for reasons best known to the developers is currently not allowing you to connect to a wifi which does not have a net connection....

One might ask anyways what is a use of wifi without net....I have many apps...thru which I connect my PC and Apple devices thru just Wifi...so I find this bug very irritating...hope to see a fix ASAP

    1. My internet provider has given me a user id password...even if i keep my internet on for 24 hours...daily it requires me to log off twice in a day at 8 am and 8 pm....while using ios5, I was able to logon to the net thru their portal using safari. So in a sense, my iphone/ipad used to be connected to wifi without internet. Now with ios6, if the internet is not working/or not logged on, it switches off the wife connection in my device...

  3. My last months data usage bill has shocked me now. Seems that most of the times after installing ios6 my mobile was more on my 3G network than on wifi....this is epic fail by Apple :(
