Installed update - I've had internet on WiFi for the last 10 mins after having no internet on WiFi here for 2.5 weeks.

I can only get a connection to the wireless signal once every so often. It'll just randomly appear, then disappear. Yet the connection is stable on every other devices. Apple claims the phone is fine.

I had to wait 20 minutes for the network to appear just to update.

The update worked fine for me. I didn't have any trouble with WiFi reception. But I was hoping this update would fix my crappy AT&T reception. Sadly, no chance of that.

I've been having tons of Wi-Fi issues with my 5. Hope this fixes it!

[Slayter]

Looks like Apple has yet to release another update to fix issues with this update.

What about the Bluetooth problem? I cannot get Bluetooth to work on my iPhone 5 6.0.1.

[johnmacward]

So it seems as though everything bar the iPhone 5 and iPad mini will skip this update. So us iPad 3, iPhone 4 users will jump straight to 6.0.3?

The error problem is gone for me. Got the update finally.

Apple servers are slow...26 hours to download for my iPad mini here in Germany...

And 4 hours OTA update...

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

Worked perfectly fine without any troubles for me.

Interestingly enough, I've never had any kind of Wi-FI problem on iPhone 5. But if you guys say so, I'll believe.

Updated two iPhone 5 phones OTA no problems.

Best update ever

OTA update on an iPhone 5 from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 worked fine.

[unplugme71]

Downloaded, prepared, and now installing via OTA.

[fanfong]

Finally. Maybe I can leave my wifi enabled by default now.

It was only working half the time before.

Same here, although it did take longer to show the WiFi icon when unlocking the phone. Hopefully the update fixes that issue.

I'm having tons of problems with my iPad not seeing my wifi connection for updates, but it sees the wifi for use with Safari with no problems. Really disappointed that this is not being addressed.

This thread is full of first world problems.

Well, my 5 has trouble sometimes dropping LTE when going to Wi-Fi. Killing my battery.

[Westside guy]

Well, I was able to do an OTA update of my iPad Mini over wi-fi so - not everyone is running into problems!

[chirpie]

Is this different than the wi-fi bug I'm having where wi-fi is grayed out no matter what you do and it can't be turned on? And has anyone verified that they had an issue that this fixed?

Just curious, because I'm still being told that my 6.0.1 is still up-to-date.

I'm seeing people talking about several different types of WiFi problems in this thread. I personally have not had any issues of any kind with my iPhone 5 (I've had it for exactly 2 weeks.) So, with people talking about many different kinds of problems, can anyone tell me which WiFi problem(s) this update is intended to resolve?

I also haven't heard of anyone mentioning a WiFi problem with there iPad Mini (on this thread at least). I just bought one for my wife for Christmas, so I guess it'll have an update waiting for it when it's activated on Christmas day. Anyone know what kind of issues it's supposed to be having?

Even though I know Apple has their problems, I've never actually been on the receiving end of any of the horrible problems people have talked about with iOS in the last year or so (WiFi problems, bad battery life, glitchiness, etc.). I'll tell you this, it's worlds better than the several Android phones I had before switching!!
