I don't think it had anything to do with the settings. It was something else. I had reset everything and it still was not working. I put my phone now and I just connected and started working on it own. Must have been a software glitch.

I have exactly the same issue, with iPhone 4S. Now the iPad 3 popped the window up however it just showed the message "Success" and now access my network normally. My iPhone 4 continues to access the network normally as well. Seems iPhone 4S is the only suffering at this time.

That gave me an idea, since my iPad is not the 3G version, it could never open "apple" website without the WiFi working... so I went on Settings, Disabled WiFi, then Cellular, and disabled Cellular data. Then I enabled WiFi again and it connected without issues. Re-enabled cellular data and all is working well right now.

Here's what was going on...

iOS does a check when it connects to a wifi node that looks to see if you are connecting to a hotspot that requires you to go to a web page to log in... and this check will pull up Safari for folks so they can log-in if needed... the URL of the check page was failing - so it went to a 404 page on Apple's servers. All should be well.

And that was killing the whole wifi connection? yuck.

Just tried again. Seems fixed. Weird that the wifi on these devices would be reliant on an apple webpage to work. Is this just a one time thing for the connection, and since this was an OS upgrade, it needed to 'check' again?
