Cant keep internet connection

I have an iPad 2s, I use DSL with Century Link as my internet provider using a router for my wireless connection. I am on my computer at the moment writing this question so I am online. Problem is I cannot get online with my iPad. Do I need to send my iPad in for repair or is there a way to get my iPad to connect to my server and how?

Try 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

Iphone 5c can't keep internet connection

Hi everyone,
I recently opened a new internet account to my service provider in Switzerland.
I am having troubles with my iphone 5c: for some reason when I am in my room it cannot keep the connection and looses it all the time. I need to go back to the living room to re-establish it and if I leave to my room again it looses it.
The distance between the router and my bed is around 5m and I have 2 walls that separate both points (my kitchen corridor is in the middle).
My 2007 macbook pro can keep the connection perfect and so can my iphone 3Gs from 2010. Does anyone know why would my most recent iphone not be able to do this? I do not think it is a problem of wifi strength since both iphone 3 and mbp are on the 5GHz frequency.
Moreover, I used to have another router (prior to changing to my new internet account) from the same provider and the iphone 5c had no problem keeping the connection.
I tried playing with the channels to see if it would do something but nothing conclusive.
Anyone has an idea why would this happen? this would help a lot!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

For those interested this solved my problem: I changed the name of my wifi. Turns out the name I had by default was the name of my router (which is the router's model). In my building around 3 different wifis had the same name which I'm guessing confused the iphone. Now that my wifi has its own name the iphone has no more problem!
Hope this will help some!
Cheers

New iMac Cant Hold Internet Connection (and finds a lot of networks....)

Hello,
I have one of the new 20" iMacs released 8/7. My problem is that my iMac cant hold an internet connection and it finds a lot of possible networks to which it can connect.
I am certain the issue lies with the iMac because my old Powerbook G4 has no problems connecting to the internet and it is sitting literally next to the iMac. Furthermore, I actually had purchased an iMac about a week ago and that one had no problems connecting to the internet either. (I returned that one when the new iMacs were released.) So that means 2 Macs had no problems connecting to the internet from the same location yet this new iMac does.
One thing I have noticed about this new iMac is that it detects many more networks than my Powerbook or the iMac from last week. I live in Manhattan so there are networks everywhere. Sometimes the iMac will give me 15 or so different networks to connect to and seconds later the choices drop to 5 or so. When I try to connect to the network I want (my network) the connection doesnt hold and it frequently drops. It takes me forever to download anything. I have to write this post on my Powerbook. My Powerbook only detects 2 or 3 possible networks to connect.
I rebooted, etc. and that did not work. I shut the Powerbook down so that it would not "compete" with the iMac and that did not work either.
Any suggestions/ideas?

Hello Wireless groupies:
I have had wireless problems with my laptop and my power mac this week, but all is well for me now.
The grass roots issues of wireless communication in terms of physics are related to amplitude and frequency. The amplitude is controlled (signal strength) by the power setting of the router and the portable device. The amount of power in the signal is measured in watts per square meter and is controlled by the broadcasting units settings.
The frequency at which the router broadcasts is changed by channels available in both units. I believe the portable units scan each channel for base station transmissions just like the radio in your car/lorry . The frequencies associated with each channel on the base transmitter can be assigned by the user for the best reception in the local broadcast area, most likely your home. The area which you operate has many different interference parameters which degrade signal strength just as in your portable radio reception. In the base station world it is based upon digital transmission encrypted (D to A) into an analog signal then decrypted at the laptop from analog to digital signal.(A to D). Experimentation is probably the only method to determine which is the best frequency to operate between your devices.
It should be noted that the new Imac's have an extended frequency range because they use a 'N' class wifi set of components. The N class wifi allows for higher frequencies and extended ranges. A base station which is a G class wifi can only broadcast in the lower frequency range and hence the availability of the higher frequencies of the new Imac are irrelevant because the Imac must receive only what is is transmitted in the 'G' range, 'N' class reception and hence the benefits of higher frequencies are not available. The only solution is to have 'N' class devices through out the network, otherwise everything reverts to the 'G' class range of lower frequencies. The solution to extend the frequency range of the network is to upgrade ethernet cards and base stations, so that 'N' class frequency transmission can be utilized.
The network will work with 'G' and 'N' devices but the network is only as good as the lower class device of transmission and reception.
I would start by getting an extreme network airport base station and then experimenting with different channels at a midpoint power transmission. The best frequency would be one which delivers the most power at a set power transmission level (signal strength). The higher the frequency the greater the penetration through walls, beams, people, dogs, cats, pipes, tabletops....:). I would then experiment with the power levels for the range which you want to cover, most likely just your home and not your entire neighborhood.
In my house I use channel 6 and power level 5 from a 2wire gateway/router, which is in the G extreme class range. I have always used channel 6 but I have tried power levels 3, 4 and 5. The biggest interference variable being weather and cordless phones. The cordless phones operate in the 2.4 GHZ range and the 900 MHZ range. The phone directly above my router is a 900MHZ phone and it never interferes with the 2.4 GHZ wifi network. I think the worst phone to have with a G class network are the 5.4GHZ phones because they actually use some of the same wireless bandwidth. A 'N' class network would probably be a better choice if you want to use a 5.4GHZ phone system.
good luck

Why do I need to reset my iPad frequently to keep Internet connection?

I have difficulty sustaining Internet connections. It seems the best "solution" is to reset the network each time. Is there something else that I have done or should be doing to maintain connectivity? My iPad seems to "timeout" on me also-it oftens works on the Internet for a while but then just decides not to do anything more!

Like stated in this kbase article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
"Check the wireless security option of your Wi-Fi router:
If you are using WEP security and have multiple WEP keys on your Wi-Fi router, try configuring your Wi-Fi router to use only a single WEP key in key index 1.
Consider using WPA or WPA2 instead. WPA and WPA2 encryption protocols are newer, more effective security options for wireless networks than the older WEP protocol."

How to keep internet connection?

I have a MacBookPro. Just downloaded Yosemite X. Now can't stay connected to internet. Help??

Hi there greencheryl1234,
I would recommend taking a look at the Wi-Fi troubleshooting article below. Specifically the section titled "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly"

Having trouble to keep internet connection constant, airport keep diconnect

I just re-install my Mac Os 10.5.2 after 1 year of using my Mac book. Since the re-installation, my airport has become very unstable, it connect to the internet for a few minute then disconnect, i have try to reset the "SMC", but the problem is still here.
Before the re-installation, the airport was also disconnecting but more rarely than now.
The time the airport remain connected is between 1 to 4 minutes, then disconnect.
To use internet after it disconnect, I have to switch off the airport then on again, used for another minutes then again back to on/off process.
I would like to have some hints how to solve the problem permanently . Thanks

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try updating your system software to 10.5.8.
10.5.8 Combo Update Download
Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions before and after the installation.

HT1600 my apple television keeps stopping during the movie, i have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

My apple tv keeps stopping during the movie, I have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Iphone 4 wont update to version 4.3.5, keeps saying cant connect to internet to update even though internet connection is fine, any suggestions?

iPhone 4 wont update to version 4.3.5, keeps saying "ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet, make sure your Internet connection is active and try again."
However there is nothing wrong with my Internet connection as the Internet works perfectly fine.
iPhone has updated previoulsy with no problems.
Any suggestions?

Disable your firewall AND antivirus. If you have ever used this computer to hack or jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the one with the problem) you will have to restore your hosts file to the way it was before you did so.

Internet connection keeps dropping at night

I'm having a bit of a weird problem with my internet connection. I connect via an ethernet cable and the connection keeps dropping. It generally starts after 7pm and seems to be every 40 minutes. I have changed the microfilters and ethernet cable but I'm still getting this problem. The really weird thing is that all four lights on the hub are blue but the computer cannot connect to the router. Sometimes the connection will just drop other times it will say limited connection. I've finally had to resort to windows diagnostics and sometimes even that doesn't work. I swapped my black hub with the old white one and I didn't have this problem of the connection dropping but my connection speed dropped to 1.5 - 2mb.
I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with my ethernet card but now I think it must be something in the black hub because the white one worked. Am I correct in thinking I need a new router?

Well, did you activate this new phone?

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?
