my fiance updated to ios 6.1 on the iphone 4s and now the wifi connection is grayed out on his iphone. tried resetting the phone and resetting the network settings but nothing has worked. Is anyone else having the same problem or has anyone managed to fix this?

What network is the iPhone on?
If it's Vodafone it may be related to this http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1796240 although this is a cellular issue I think.
If not, got to Settings-General-Reset and tap Reset network settings and see if that fixes it.
This will wipe all the stored WiFi netowrks though but not a major problem.
Also try closing all background apps. (Double press the menu button quickly to reveal the apps, hold down one of them till they start wiggling and close them all).
Then do a soft reset. To do this, hold down the power button and the menu button until you see the Apple logo.
Perhaps call them and see what they say.
You can't easily go back to iOS 6.0 I'm afraid.
So glad i dont have any of this left iphone for samsung galaxy s3.
Vodafone won't be bringing out anything, they have no control over iOS releases.
A carrier update it what I really meant which will certainly fix the cellular issue and could sort the Wifi as well.
Try a hard reset of holding the phone home button and power button for 15 seconds.
If that doesn't work do a full restore in iTunes

do a backup then a complete wipe and restore.
you said you reset the settings, that's not the same as a restore.
have you connected it to itunes via the USB cable and clicked the "restore" button, which downloads the iOS file and wipes the phone and re-installs from scratch.
faulty phone then.
unrelated to ios6.1 update and nothing to do with any vodafone issue.
He means PC
Also, I think my iPhone is affected too :eek:

2 people in that thread with a similar problem... hardly widespread! and one of the people says they've had it for months so can't be an iOS6.1 issue.
Usually its the chip or possibly baseband, its been around for ages on iOS4 & 5
