I suggest that you try to run a software reinstall using SUS.

If the problem still remains you should contact your local support team, to have the phone examined and fixed at an repair center.

I also had the same problem and i tried "Settings Reset" and "Factory Reset" and it solved problem 2times but again Wi-Fi stopped working and i tried above steps but failed. So finally ran software re-install but that too didnt't solved problem.So, i unlocked bootloader and wi-fi worked fine thereafter. But now again after a month i'm experiancing same problem.

    I never had such problem in earlier build 6.1.A.2.45. But after updating to latest firmware 6.1.A.2.55 I'm experiancing problem.

   "SONY XPERIA SUPPORT"- As you can see that setting reset and factory reset solved problem couple of times, and unlocking bootloader too can solve problem, but running re-install didn't solved problem, so according to me it may be a bug problem and that can't be sorted out at a repair center.

     So pls get this bug fixed as soon as possible.

i have the same problem , i tried software repair several times , do the factory reset but i have still the same problem ,  it's a shame for company like sony , i payd for xperia S ,their slogan is make you believe but this kind of problem is going to make me believe other brand like samsung...

the wi-fi after upgrading doesn't work and change my "smart phone" to "stupid phone", after a delay to release a jelly bean for xperia s this kind of problem make me sorry for sony ... what are you exactly doing in this company?!

You can never chose where you are born but you certainly can chose which network you use. It's up to each country how they manage their networking, nothing Sony can do.

It's a hardware problem...I had the same problem with my Xperia S and I tried factory reset, software repair, rooted phone and installed vaarious roms but that didn't solved the poroblem, So I showed my Xperia S at a repair centre and they said it's a hardware problem and they changed the IC reated with Wi-Fi and now the Wi-Fi is working smoothly with no problem.

Hi Buddy...u r right at ur place n even I feel that it's not right especially for a company like Sony. But we have to understand that any electronic or machine may suffer from some problems. n by the way Sony is better company in terms of Quality as compared to Samsung. No doubt Samsung is doing quite well in android market but it's devices may also have some problems.
