TS1398 wifi connection isn't what it should be :(

after doing all the above things to get the wifi to work on the iPad its still dims to no bars as soon as i step away from the router. this is becoming extremely frustrating as all other devices in the house are working perfectly fine

Have you tried the following?
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

  • TS1398 Wifi connecting problem

    My brand new ipod touch won't connect to wifi. My mac book, iphone and my daughters ipad all are connected and working. I have tried everything suggested in the troubleshooting. What can I do?

    Its ok. Got sorted by looking at iphone problems with wifi. Reset my hub to factory defaults and wifi connected!

  • Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

    I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
    If you could help it would be much appreciated.

    That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
    Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
    The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
    You're forgetting that Apples 802AC  wifi is "next generation"  'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable.    Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

  • Wifi connection isn't working!

    My 1g ipod won't let me onto any kind of wifi connection. I can acess the server, but it says, "Unable to join the network _______" Someone please help! This is very urgent!

    Do other devices connect to the router?
    Does the iPod connect to other routers?
    Try:
    - A rest. 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.
    - Powering off and then back on the router

  • TS1398 Wifi connection

    Hi, my ipad is suddenly stopped being connected to wifi - don't know why can't figure out any changes. Other computers ie this one my laptop are connected - so what's going on? Checked out the manual and couldn't figure it out - Help please!

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
    4. Have you updated router firmware?

  • TS1398 wifi connects then disconnects any solutions?

    I keep losing my internet connection on my iPad 1 and iPad 3.  It'll connect and disconnect at will.  This has got worse since I got iCloud.  I've tried resetting the wifi and restore.

    Hi bobmyron,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Mac will connect and disconnect from two different networks. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • TS1398 wifi connected but no internet in iphone5!

    Hi,
    In my iPhnoe5 i'm already connected to wifi, but the wireless icon doesnt appear on the top of the screen eithre cannot access the internet!
    I tried every solution in the troubleshooting section but no success.
    thanks,

    If you have tried every solution you must have a hardware problem. As the phone is in warranty take it to an Apple store for replacement.
    Before you do that, and if the problem is only with your home network and the phone works on other WiFi networks, you might want to try rebooting your router by removing all power from it for 15 seconds or so. And if that doesn't resolve it try changing channels on the router. And check the router's settings for MAC filtering. If it is enabled your phone's WiFi address must be listed on the "allowed" settings. Also check if your router has a limit to the number of devices that can connect simultaneously.
    The way to identify router issues: After attempting to connect go to Settings/WiFi and tap the ">" to the right of the network name. If the IP address begins 169.254 this means that your router is not responding to the phone, so you need to troubleshoot the router (even if other devices connect and work).

  • What do i do if the battery life isn't what it should be?

    I got my Ipod in late January or early February as a late xmas present, and since then it's become the closest thing to crack I can think of. However, I never really listen to it for more than say a 1/2 hr in the am another 1/2 hr in the pm. Maybe 2-3 days during the week I'll plug it into my computer at work and almost never watch video on it. I've run the battery test w/almost default settings, but the battery life seems to be around 6 hrs. Why is that? and what should or can i do about it?

    Make sure to run the most current updater on it and then re-test it.

  • TS1398 Wifi connection problems

    My iPad periodically tells me I'm not connected to  the Internet even when I am connected to wifi with full signal strength. I tried resetting network setting but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas? .

    Hello, mrsgarvick.
    Thank you for the question.  Wi-Fi can be tricky as it requires certain settings and updates for optimized device connectivity.  Below, I have included the recommended settings article.  If the wireless router or modem that you use is provided by your Internet service provider, please contact them to make the changes.

  • 1. airport card/wifi connection died. What can I do? :( 2. 10.8.5 ***** big time! Any help on the way?

    2 laptops, one of them the airport/wifi just stopped working, can't pick up a signal anywhere. That one I didn't update to 10.8.5 - the other laptop Macbook pro) - I did. It takes over 5 minutes to get to the home screen after reboot, sticks until the 'kill pages' pop-up arrives after sleep, or just at 'whim'.  Can I do anything that won't break the bank, is fast and effective - to fix both lappys or am I doomed to pay the price of a PC for repairs? Thank you in advance for any help!

    Please carefully read Pondini's Time Machine Troubleshooting guide.

  • TS1398 Wifi connection unable to connect - existing network

    My iPad lost network connection and will not sign back into the network. I have tried everything on TS 1398 and it will sign onto other networks, but no longer my home network. I know my network password and can get my other devices, including another iPad signed on. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Try this:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again

  • What impact should I see when my Ipad mini is associated to my Wife's Apple ID

    I have a 64gb Ipad mini
    My wife has a 16gb Ipad with retina
    Both me and my wife have purchased tv shows in iTunes using my Ipad mini and have both downloaded content to that device.
    My Ipad mini shows in my wife's iTunes account as being associated with her Apple ID.
    To date, I can't see that I have been impacted by that association because we can both log in and out of iTunes on that device, download TV series and play those shows.  With my device being associated with my Wife's Apple ID, what impact should it have on me?
    I've been corresponding with Apple for over two weeks and am still no closer being given an answer that makes any sense   I just seems that I am being given stock answers to another question
    I have been given links to many help articles that have been directly and indirectly relevant to my query, but they don't answer my question.  I've also read through the community support forum, but there's nothing that I can find that relates to my question.
    We are both new to Apple products, iTunes is new territory for us.  I simply want to understand whether or not our shared use of my Ipad mini will create a problem that locks either one of us out of certain content.  We'd rather know this up front so that we make an informed choice of whether to continue purchasing hard copies or start using iTunes for purchasing TV shows.
    Additional information:
    We have Apple TV (3rd gen)
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    I found this article for you on the iTunes support website at:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww

    Hi Japple,
    A long time ago, which iTunes account you used to make purchases was important due to the DRM that Apple used at the time.  Now that most music on the iTunes Store is DRM-free the distinction of which account was used to purchase the music is irrelevant.  Songs can be copied freely to as many computers and devices that you own.
    Movies and TV shows, however, are not all DRM free.  They have Apple's FairPlay DRM embedded.  What does this mean for you?  Probably not much.  You can authorize up to five computers to play a video file downloaded from either of your iTunes accounts.  iTunes itself keeps track of the associations and, if you change devices in the future, it's very easy to dissociate your accounts in the iTunes Store. 
    Let me give you an example of how this works.  Let's say my wife buys a CD and a movie from iTunes and I want it on my computer in my library too.  First thing I need to do is copy the files to my machine and add them to my iTunes library (File --> Add to Library, I believe).  When I try to play the music, they'll work immediately, no more configuration required.  When I try to play the movie, however, iTunes will ask me to associate my computer with my wife's Apple ID (if I haven't already done so in the past).  To associate my computer, all I need to do is enter her Apple ID and password into the dialog box that pops up and I'm good to go.  Now I can play that file in my iTunes on my computer without any trouble.  I can also download it to my iOS devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone) seamlessly.
    An Apple TV is different than the other iOS devices in that its primary purpose is to stream files from computers, other iOS devices, or the iTunes Store directly.  The Apple ID that you associate with your Apple TV is only relevant to the purchases you make from the iTunes Store and if you turn on Home Sharing.  But both you and your wife can stream files to your Apple TV from your iOS devices.  Make sure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV and your iPads. Then select the Apple TV you want to stream to from your iPad and you should be good to go.
    My wife and I have a similar environment to the one you describe and have no trouble viewing or using content on any of our devices (including computers).
    Best of luck!

  • Whenever I try to open my Wifi Connection at home, it doesn't work! It just stays on 3G, and I want to update my phone, but In order for me to do this, I have to connect through WiFi to ignore additional charges, please help!

    Hey! So basically, I've been using my Wifi connection (from home) lately, I had no troubles what-so-ever. I turned on my 3G network this morning, and again, everything's going perfectly fine with my connection. I came home around half 4 from school and decided to turn on my Wifi connection at home, what I've realised is that whenever I try turning on my Wifi network, the little sign that's usually at the top doesn't appear anymore. I tried resetting the network settings and closing and opening my phone, but.. This didn't really make any difference. I'm really worried and I don't know what to do! I have tried reconnecting to my Wifi but nothing happened, my Bluetooth's never really turned on. Please help!!  

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding but if I am then I'm not sure why you are turning your Wi-Fi off and on. It should automatically connect and use your Wi-Fi when it is available and use your cellular data connection when Wi-Fi is not available. I haven't turned either off ever. However, more to the point of your current problem, the following has some troubleshooting steps that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • Wifi connecting drops on Time Capsule when I sync iMac with appletv

    I've had this issue ever since I got my 27" iMac and I can't figure it out.
    My setting:
    I live in a 3 bedroom apartment. Livingroom is at the right as you go in. Followed by room 1, then room 2 and right before the kitchen at the end is room 3(mine). I Have an apple tv in the living room, a 21" iMac and a time capsule that I use only as an airport base. I also keep a macbook in the livingroom. In my bedroom, room 3, I have my 27"iMac. Everything is connected to the Time Capsule for wifi as well as a couple of iphones and an ipod touch. Everything is updated with the latest software updates.
    My problem is that every time I try syncing my apple tv with my 27" iMac, the time capsule looses the wifi connection and immediately starts blinking orange. I have to restart the time capsule by unplugging it and then the wifi connection is restored. For a while now I've been using a 50' ethernet cable that connects the 27" imac and the time capsule with the wifi off on the imac. This is the only way the wifi connection isn't affected when I sync to the appletv. I've tried resetting and restoring the time capsule several times without helping the issue. I also tried all 11 channels on the wifi connection as well as automatic setting for the channel but that doesn't seem to help. I clean installed snow leopard on my 27" iMac as well with no luck. At this time I don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I'm really tired of having that cable laying around. Thanks

    please read this about possible sources of _*wireless interference*_, which may well be your problem.
    wireless signals, if they have to travel over long distances or through obstacles (such as concrete walls or steel structures), will lose power. especially on the 5 GHz band you virtually need +line by sight+ in order to get a clean and reliable signal.
    consequently, many users (including myself) resort to hardwired connections where possible. except my two airport express units and my iPod Touch, i have all my equipment hardwired to my TC.
    additionally, syncing large amounts of data between devices heavily taxes your wireless bandwidth.
    best of luck !
