Updated to iOS 7.1.2 - Can no longer connect to WiFi

There is clearly a bug introduced after updating to iOS 7.1.2 and I inadvertently repeated this mistake on two iPhones (5 and 4S).
Immediately after updating to the latest iOS, I was experiencing sporadic WiFi drop outs, especially for short time immediately after taking the phone out of standby.
Then I attempted someone's 'brilliant' suggestion of selecting "Forget Network" and then adding it back in. THAT was a huge mistake because after doing that and reconnecting to my WiFi network, everything seemed fine until I woke the phone (iPhone 5) from its next standby. Since then, I can no longer connect to my WiFi network. In fact, no WiFi networks in my vicinity appear! In order words, I am now completely reliant on my limited data plan!
To make matters worse, because of this screw up, my cell data plan exceeded my 3 GB usage and I had to pay $60 in overage for July! I am not happy!
This is made even more outrageous considering that Apple hasn't acknowledge this issue!
BTW, I have tried and wasted a LOT of time trying each of these so-called Apple remedies:
Blog entry titled, "
How to fix Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 7.1.2"

Yeah, I've seen the play out before with past iOS updates (re: unresponsive slide to unlock/cannot answer calls). Thousands of people complain but the AFB's jump all over them by calling them newbs or worse. Then Apple releases a patch and the problems quietly disappear. It is kind of annoying to see this replay! Please don't be so sure that it isn't a bug. The fact is, Apple made patches and despite the homogeneous nature of iPhones, there are still literally millions of possible ways that iOS patches can affect some phones but not all phones. You cannot claim unequivocally, that this is NOT a bug.
So you are suggesting that all the complaints about this issue are imaginary?
As it relates to my situation, I have two iPods, one iPad, two iPhones, a desktop, and an Android tablet.... only the two iPhones lose the WiFi connection (during standby) and these devices were both updated to iOS 7.1.2.
Solution: It's the WiFi on my router that is at fault?

Millions of people are NOT experiencing this issue. Have you tried rebooting your router by unplugging it for 30-60 seconds?
I never made any claim as to the number of people affected. Besides, even if only 50 people posted messages to this forum, the number of people who do not participate in the Apple forum far outnumber the people who do.
With all due respect, I appreciate your attempt to help. In fact, to humor you... I will power off my router, just like you describe (can't hurt... it hasn't been powered down in about a year now).
I'll reply back with a "thank you", if your suggestion worked.

HT5569 Since upgrading to 7.1.1 last week, I can no longer connect to WIFI on my iPhone 4S

Since upgrading to 7.1.1 last week, I can no longer connect to WIFI on my iPhone 4S

No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

Since this last update, I can not longer connect to wifi

What is the fix here???? Frustrated and ****** off!

Hello jmichel216,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network after updating your iOS version. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Restart your iOS device.
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

If plugged in and connected to wifi will my "new ipad" automatically update to ios 6?, If plugged in and connected to wifi will my "new ipad" automatically update to ios 6?

Just as the title says....when i come home from work will the ipad updated itself to ios6???

Also, make sure you perform the following steps BEFORE updating to IOS 6:
Update to the latest version of iTunes (version 10.7), which is available for update now
Transfer any new purchases by going to File then Transfer Purchases in iTunes
Sync your iPad and do a backup
Performing these steps first will help ensure a smooth transition when updating to IOS 6.

IOS 8.1.1 can no longer connect to corporate wifi

After updating a couple of corporate iPhone 5s' they now no longer connect to the corporate wifi. This happens whether updating OTA or a complete wipe and reload in iTunes. Wifi worked fine before the 8.1.1 update

We have 2 separate discussions going on here. You jumped into a thread about a problem connecting to a corporate WiFi network with a post about a different WiFi problem. You have been answering questions asked of the original poster, which kind of confuses the issue. Look at who a post is in response to before answering.
For your problem, does the phone fail to connect to all WiFi networks, or only one (e.g., your home network)? Do you see WiFi networks when you tap Settings/WiFi?

My S4 was updated 05/01/14. It will no longer connect to wifi. I checked. It connects to no wifi.

5/01/14
My S4 was updated today. I've tried with NO success to connect via WIFI in three locations. Can the "downdate" be reversed?

Blip11,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with wi-fi on your device. Obviously we want your device to have a smooth transition when getting updates. There have been no known issues with this since the update was released. Normally in these situation we suggest doing a hard reset on the device so the update can fully integrate with the device. These steps should help http://vz.to/1dJ9CFH and as long as your information is backed up on either google, backup assistant, or SD card you should have no problem retaining your phone information. Let us know how this works.
Thank you,

Can no longer connect to WiFi after IOS 7 update

I own a small hotel. After updating to the new IOS, no one can connect to the WiFi network on their iPads or iPhones.
Help!

Too little info here to work with however ...
1. Go to SETTINGS on your iphone, then to WI-FI
2. Can you see any networks listed? If not, then you have a problem with your Wireless Router. Reset it and see if it appears.
3. If you can see the wireless network, try to connect to it manually. If this works, then off you go. If not, then you need to tell me what wireless router it is before we can go much further. Also, are any other devices connecting successfully (ie: pre-iOS 7 handsets, Macs or PCs)?

Ever since updating my iOs to 7 I can no longer download apps from the store.

It will ask for my password like normal but then it will tell me that 'such and such app cannot be purchased at this time.' I've tried signing in and out of my apple ID, restarting my phone, etc, etc but nothing seems to be working. Any leads on how to fix this? Preferably without having to back up my phone and restore it AGAIN...since the last time that happend (when I updated to iOs7 and lost everything) it didn't turn out so well.

Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

HT1695 i downloaded the IOS software upgrade and can no longer connect to any WiFi network, what can I do to fix this?

I have attempted to reset the network settings, nothing changed. The wireless router is working and has nothing wrong with it. Ever since I downloaded the software update, WiFi connection can not happen and every time I try to do anything that uses the internet it directs me to the apple support site. How can this be resolved?

I've tried the following:
* Settings | General | Reset | Reset Network Settings (Twice)
* Settings | General | Reset | Reset All Settings (Once)
* Plugging it in and doing a "Restore" through iTunes (that's how I downloaded iOS 5.1.1 in the first place)
All the passcodes and restrictions are are turned off.
When I first try to connect to the network, I'm prompted to enter my username and password (I've elected to "forget" the network a few times so I can get this screen again). If I enter it wrong, then I just get an error that I'm not connected. When I enter it right, I get a warning that the certificate is "not verified". When I click on "More Details", I can see all the information that got pulled from the network (Issuer Name, Signature Algorithm, Public Key Algorithm, Key Usage, etc.). When I choose to "Accept", I get the little icon indicating that it's trying to connect...this never goes away (I let it run for an hour).
The encryption type on the main Wifi I'm trying to connect to says it's RSA (I'm guessing it's WEP though...I didn't set it up, our IT group did that).

Can no longer connect to WiFi after iOS 6

After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0 not 2 hours ago, everything seemed fine - for about 30 minutes. I soon lost all connections to my personal WiFi router in my house (both of them, actually). For a short period of time I was not even able to find networks in Settings>Wifi, even when standing next to my modem & routers.
No searches helped online, and Apple apparently doesn't believe in tech support emails, so I tried resetting my network settings. When I did that, it finally showed my 3 home WiFi networks. However, I'm no longer able to connect to them. When I click on one, it will take me to a "Log In" page at www.Apple.com, where it will say "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found" and send me back to the WiFi settings page, and put me on 3G.
This is really starting to get on my nerves, and I understand new OS' can be buggy, but this seems like a bit too major of a screw up to be a simple bug.
Any suggestions? If there's no way to fix it, Apple will have just lost another customer.

Same thing here on all my devices. Basically it seems like there is a web page that the device attempts to connect to confirm internet connectivity after joining a WiFi network which seems to now be a bad link.

Downloaded iOS 5.1 and can no longer connect to any encrypted Wifi?

I just downloaded the latest iOS and did a full factory reset on my iTouch in hopes of getting it ready to go to a co-worker. I've been test-driving the device to see if we wanted to use Apple vs Android products for the applications we're developing for our research facility. Things were going fairly smoothly until I did this. Now, I no longer have access to any encrypted network (I have access to 2), which essentially has given me a nice paperweight I can give to my co-worker (we deal with HIPAA information that has to be encrypted). It does have access to guest networks, so I know it's a software problem (not a hardware problem). I tried calling Apple, but we're outside our 90-day limit. I thought they were known for their excellent support, but if I have to pay for fixing something their update broke (sounds like a great way to make money if you ask me), I won't be recommending it for our software development.
Anyone aware of any settings I need to dig-into to get this to work? (I feel like my hands are tied because I can't poke around in any of the directories to browse through files and settings; something I'm not afraid to do as a software developer.)

TS1398 iPhone 4 IOS 5.1.1 can no longer connect to my home wifi.

I upgraded my IOS using the latest version of iTunes on my Win 7 PC. Now, I'm unable to connect to my AT&T U-Verse wifi. When I try, I get the message "Unable to join network". I tried restarting the iPhone. I tried restarting my wireless router. I tried resetting my network settings on my iPhone. Help...

HT1807 After updating to 6.0.1, I can no longer connect to my ATT 3G MicroCell.

Can anyone offer a workaround that might get me reconnected to the MicroCell unit?

Have you tried re-booting the micro-cell? I have no problems connecting to mine using my wife's iPhone 4 or my iPhone 4S, both on 6.0.1.

After updating to IOS 6.1 my 3G no longer connects to anything,

it says i still have 3G signal but it doesn't let me use anything. I've tried the various on/off senarios and they don't work either, anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Can no longer connect to WiFi popup does not appear

I have a iPad gen 4 and a iPhone 5s and neither will connect to my business Wi-Fi. The issue is that I can log in and then the login process requires me
to okay the request. The pop-up to okay never appears. This stopped working when I upgraded my iPad gen 1 from iOS5 to iOS6. At that time my iPhone 5 also stopped when updated to iOS6. The block pop-up's is off. I was hoping that this might get fixed when iOS7 came out. Unfortunately not. Any idea's how to get around this.

Same thing here on all my devices. Basically it seems like there is a web page that the device attempts to connect to confirm internet connectivity after joining a WiFi network which seems to now be a bad link.
