Upgraded both myself and partners 4s handsets and ipads. ipads and one handset fine, my wifi has greyed out, Tried all the usual help guides any other suggestions? rebooted, reinstalled, reset network etc am baffled and pretty hacked off tbh!!!!
Nearest apple store is brighton (20 miles away) so am guessing i have to make and appointment and get it replaced? (its 6 months old)

LISTEN EVERYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WIFI WHEN UPDATING iOS6
If your wifi is greyed out:
you need to go to the apple store. You're wifi chip has expired! Wifi chip experation dates were checked upon the new software, that is why some  iPhones still work and others don't. They will replace it for you free of charge (don't quote me on this). It was free for me.
I myself have an iPhone4S and they told me exactly this.

  • TS1559 My wife's iPhone 4s worked fine. She syncd last week and then it couldn't find any wi-fi networks. Tried all the steps above except that after upgrading to ios 6, the wi-fi is toggled off and is greyed out, unable to turn on. NOT AN AT&T ISSUE

    Nothing posted on any of the threads has worked. I am reluctant to revert back to 5.1.1 which some say worked for them. Posting this solely so Apple will know there is one more continuing to have this issue and it is a major inconvenience.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • TS1559 i can turn on wifi via control centre but not via wifi menu (greyed out)as ive restored my phone i cant now enter my wifi password

    wifi greyed out but can turn on via control centre but now cant entre wifi passwords as i restored my phone

    I would try a restore, but more than likely this is hardware.
    I would call apple, and i hope you're covered under warranty because it sounds like your wifi module is no good.

    Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.

  • Iphone 4s wifi stuck / greyed out at ios 6.1.3

    Hey, I just upgraded to ios 6.1.3 and my iphone wifi button greyed out also my processor started hanging a lot so i tried number of methods like software restore, freezer but nothing happened instead i also upgraded to ios 7 and i tried freezer method again which ruined my iphone's audio, now its audio is very less
    Can anyone please help.....?

    What a a lot of people have been telling me is to turn Airplane Mode on and then reset settings and iPhone, and that should sort it.
    I haven't done it myself, But you could give that a go
    As for the audio, sorry I don't know about that.
    Hope you sort it out soon, my wifi is having trouble also (silly phone)

  • Wifi greyed out and wont turn on

    just did the latest upgrade in software and now my wifi has been greyed out and wont turn on.
    contacted apple and they let me know that it is my problem and will have to buy a new phone. anyone find a way to make the wifi work if the upgrade has a glitch in it?

    I had this same problem - if your phone is still under warrantly then apple will replace it for you for free.
    Otherwise you will need to pay for a replacement.
    They will tell you to reset and restore etc but replacement was the only option for me.

    i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

    after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

    Most likely the iphone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier
    updating the iOS will relock a hacked iPhone to that Carrier

  • TS1398 After the 6.0.1. update on my iPhone 4s the option for wifi has greyed out and cannot be selected. What can I do to restore wifi?

    I have held off updated my iPhone 4s with the 6.0.1 but having problems connecting to wifi I thought maybe being out of date was the problem.
    Having done the update the wifi option is now greyed out and cannot be selected at all.  I have rebooted, forgotten networks and turned on and off so many times.  There is nothing wrong with the wifi at home as other devices connect no problem.  What can I do?

    I'll repeat the Apple support pages linked in the previous post:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Go through the step outlines there starting at the top and work down until you've solved the problem.

  • Upgraded to iOS7 - WIFI still greyed out.. Any fixes?

    I previously had the problem on the previous iOS 6.1.4 or whatever the most up to date was.
    I've now upgraded to iOS7, reset network settings, reinstalled the operating system, full phone resets etc.
    Unfortunately I STILL have the problem that my WIFI is greyed out!
    I'm running an iPhone 4S by the way.
    Can't believe for one minute, that after all the problems on the previous iOS that a fix hasn't been put in place - so if anyone knows of one, i'd really appreciate it.
    That android devil is becoming more angelic!
    I've also had my phone just over a year, so I assume that the warranty is now expired?? I know - i've had the problems for some time and I really should have got my arse into gear and took it in for repair before now!
    Regards,
    Andrew.

    I guess I don't have to wait
    I got it fixed
    someone delete this post please

  • WiFi Was Greyed out

    My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6.0.1 till 13th Feb'13 no problems whatsoever, until yesterday it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.
    Somehow i manageed to install 6.1.1 and i thought it may fix the problem but same problem...the WiFI is still greyed out. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in July and have never dropped it .The WiFi was working great till yesterday and suddently this happened. I won't understand what kind of application/phone Apps have released. Its seem they are just want to stay in the market instead giving a good service to their customer.
    I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.
    Never expect such kind of phone from a company like Apple.

    It takes two to Tango. But it was technically a Software Error in the boot sequence, but the Hardware is actively reading the boot information and has to respond accordingly. Sounds like it was a one time glitch. Keep an eye on it. You iPhone still has full Warranty.
