A lot of users experienced Wi-Fi issues when they updated their iPhone or iPad to iOS 6. We posted a guide about how you could fix Wi-Fi problems on iOS 6 devices and hopefully you heaved a sigh of relief for a while. Still the release of iOS 6.0.1 shows that Apple hasn’t resolved problems with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad Internet connection through Wi-Fi since its users continue to face the Wi-Fi issues in the updated firmware. According to the Cupertino-based company, its iOS 6.0.1 brings improvements to all iDevice owners. Besides it should provide better reliability of the fifth-generation iPod touch and sixth-generation iPhone 5 when these gadgets are “connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks.” While that problem is fixed, customers face other iOS 6.0.1 Wi-Fi problems and this disappoints them a lot.
