Touch Generation 5 WiFi won't stay connected

I recently got a new 5th Generation iPod touch. I have a Netgear wireless adapter, and for some reason, when ever I reenter my house, I must restart my wireless so that my iPod can connect to it. However, now, my wireless will keep going out, and I will have to restart my wireless all of the time. Is there any way I can change my wireless settings, so that my iPod will stay connected? (my old 3rd generation had the same problem, but after i restarted the wireless once, it would stay connected until I left the house).
Thanks

So you're saying that it's only your phone that has the wifi problem? Like your friends are using the same wifi as you, but only you lose connection while they don't?
If that's the case, does the wifi have a passcode? And also some wifi networks have a verification before the wifi becomes accessible. For example, you may connect to a wifi network without having to put a password, but then you would need to open Safari and you would need to confirm some things before you're able to use it. Like in college, the wifi is free and open to everyone but only students who have a user and pass are able to access the wifi.
2nd possible solution is to reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if that works.
3rd, restart your phone by turning it on/off.
4th, restore your phone on iTunes.

New iPod Touch Wifi won't stay connected?

Just bought new 16 GB iPod Touch, and it won't stay connected to my home WiFi. Even after a reset of network connection, re-enter WiFi info and Touch connects for a few minutes and then loses connectivity even tho WiFi bars still show. Turning WiFi off and on does not fix problem. Turning iPod off and back on will allow Touch to reconnect, but again only for a few minutes at best.

Does the iPod work OK with other networks?
Do other devices work OK?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Wifi won't stay connected after switching phone off and back on

This does not seem to be the apparently common problem of either dropping wi-fi signal OR losing wi-fi after the phone sleeps.
I have a 3GS. My wi-fi works fine all day while I'm around the house even with multiple sleep events. However, when I switch off my phone at night and then turn it back on again the next morning, the phone stays on 3G. If I go to the wi-fi settings, it shoes wi-fi is "on" and I can select my network and it will join it right away. It just doesn't rejoin automatically.
I am not certain about this, but I think this problem may have only started when I recently switched on the "ask to join networks" setting. I have tried turning this off but still the problem remains.
My wife's 3GS and my son's 4 both stay connected after a switch off and back on, and we are all using the same network.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be most appreciative. With three of us now sharing the cell data plan we are getting very close to the limit each month and want to maximize wi-fi usage.
Thanks.

IOS 6, wifi won't stay connected no matter what I do

I just updated to iOS 6, and it seems it's full of bugs in the wifi department. I can connect to my wifi, it works slowly for about 4 minutes and then it just drops and all apps tell me that there's no internet connection. The wifi signal still shows on the top with full bar, but it just doesn't work. It's like those phony wifi signals you find when you're outside. Is there anything I can do? Is apple on the case?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My WiFi won't stay connected for longer than 5 minutes!

My problem is that my connection is okay for roughly 5 minutes and then the connection just disappears for no reason whilst Airport is still showing as connected. If I run Network Diagnostics it tells me that I have a working connection and to check if I typed the address correctly. If I then turn Airport off and then on again I will get the connection back for the same amount of time until it goes again.
And to add to the annoyance of this problem is that tomorrow my connection might be absolutely fine. But then 5 days later, out of the blue the problem can start up again. There is no consistency to this issue, its very unpredictable and a huge pain in the ***.
Any ideas? I have looked at similar solutions on this website and in regards to IP address and other things that have been mentioned I am set up correctly. I have had this problem before and it was easy to fix just by resetting the Airport box manually and then creating a new wireless network and reconnecting. But I have tried that many times now and the problem still persists. Also, all phones and the 2 other computers in my house (one iMac purchased last year and a PC) do not have this problem. This is an older iMac running OS X version 10.4.11.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

The problem is still persisting intermittently. Its incredibly annoying as the connection has been fine for a couple of weeks now, but today I get home from work and it's happening again. Unfortunately your solution did not work so I have included screenshots of the Airport and TCP/IP tabs of my network preferences if that helps.
The screenshots below will appear when I click "configure", I don't have an "advanced" button or a DNS tab by the looks of it.

Preferred wifi network won't stay connected

Hi,
I have a 2010 macbook and since updating to Yosemite 10.10.2 the connection to my wifi won't stay connected - tends to last only 3/4 minutes before I have to manually reselect the network. It immediately reconnects without me having to retype the wifi password and the network is the only one in my preferred networks. There were no problems previously and the signal is consistent when other people connect laptops and iPads and I have my iPhone connected to it.
I have had a look at the standard apple troubleshooting guide for network issues but it's pretty useless as it seems to assume that the problem is with the router or with the network provider.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
cheers
Ollie

AirPort WiFi on 2010 MBA won't stay connected to 5Ghz band since latest 10.6.7 update.

I updated my 2010 MBA 11" to the latest/greatest of everything in prep for Lion. So, I now have 10.6.7 of course. But ever since the updates, I noticed that my wifi on the MBA won't stay connected to the 5 Ghz band of my router. It'll connect fine to the 2.4 Ghz channel, so its not a big deal, but this is my first weird issue with the Mac (I converted in January), so of course it bugs me.
Anybody else having the same issue? Since Lion is around the corner, I can get by using the 2.4 band and hope its not an issue in Lion. But part of me wants to try to use my TIme Machine backup right before I updated to see if it is truly related to the updates.
Thanks!

Forgot to mention, I have a Netgear WNDR3400 N600 Dual Band Wireless Router. But like I mentioned, it has worked perfectly for 5 months previously.

I just recently purchase an ipad with retina display it is also my first apply product and I am not liking it. First it won't stay connected to my wifi and it won't pair on my nokia N8 phone via bluetooth. Any suggestion? Thanks!

No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.

HT1695 My iPhone 4S won't stay connected to my wifi any longer.

My iPhone 4S won't stay connected to my wifi any longer. This just started after the recent update to iOS 6.1.2 (or 6.1.1). If I do a reboot, it'll connect the first time, but then drops later, and won't reconnect until I reboot again. Any suggestions?

i have a similar problem except i've a 3GS. i took the phone to the "Genius Bar" and the "Geniuses" there did nothing more than clean out the lint that had accumulated over the past three years.
here's the link to my thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3947285
I've done everything possible with the phone and my router at home (though, as you can tell from reading what i've done, anything related to my router at home is moot because th eissue persists anywhere i go...) all i can think is that it's a OS issue some how. I may try to wipe and install an older OS or jail break it to see what happens.
My bets are on what people have said to me though in passing: this is Apple's way of making people want to move onto the iPhive (name trademarked by me!) due to frustrations with their iPhour or iPhthree (that doesn't work so well does it...).

Apple tv won't stay connected to wifi

my apple tv won't stay connected to wifi. what's the issue?

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And in this case none were give. What is happening? Error message? Other WiFi devices have issues? It is actually losing the connection or is your streaming content just freezing?
Trying to do streaming video over WiFi is not a great idea. Even if you are using the really high end WiFi hardware it will never be completely solid. You really want to use a wired connection for that.

Imac won't stay connected to wireless network

I recently moved and now my imac won't stay connected to my wireless network. Every other device connects just fine, so it's not the service, or the location, because devices are all in the same room.
Every time my computer goes to sleep it seems to completely forget how to connect to the internet. There is only one Network (mine) listed in preferred networks. The computer will connect only if I go to System Preferences and run through the Network Diagnostics to tell it exactly what to connect to. Each time it says my connection and internet are fine, which I know.
Please someone tell me how to get it to remember my network so I can stop going through the Diagnostics every time I want to use my internet.

Though all of these steps may or may not be needed, I'm including them all.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).
Click OK.
If that doesn't work try changing channels on your Router.

My new iphone 6 plus won't stay connected to the internet

I rebooted my phone, reset the internet connection several times, and rebooted my wireless router and it still won't stay connected. Now what?

Can you go to the wifi settings and select your network and "forget" that network? Are you on the latest update? What version of iOS are you using?
From another source:
Others have found that heading into Privacy > Location Services > System Settings (all the way down at the bottom > and turning off Wi-Fi Networking did the trick.
