Does not stay connected to wifi - Solved

Over the holiday I got an iPad Mini and iPhone 5. On both devices my wifi disconnects often, especially when put into lock mode. I had to keep re entering password to reconnect, very annoying.
I read the discussions and had a thought to solve it. This fix works on both my iPhone and iPad.
Go to your wireless settings and disconnect. Then select any other network, one that you do not want to connect to.
Connect to the random wifi network and when prompted enter a password. Just make up any combination Of letters and numbers until the join button pops out in blue. Click join.
Obviously it will fail and tell you the password is incorrect. Back out and now connect to your wifi network.
That's it, problem solved. Both my iPad and iPhone now automatically reconnect to my network when I unlock device.

Try resetting your network settings:
Go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset network settings   and see if that solves the issue. If it doesn't:
Backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, with multiple networks, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

  • WiFi does not stay connected after latest upgrade

    I am having an issue with the WiFi connection on my Iphone 4 after the latest 4.3 upgrade.
    It does not stay connected to the wifi. I have to go and manually connect to it.
    Then after a couple of seconds it loses it again.
    Why is this

    "I'm not sure why yours is doing it but I would suggest your reboot your router and reset the iPhone network settings.
    If you are hiding your SSID, do the last step which is tap Settings > WiFi > Other and completely re-enter your network name, security, and network password."
    Been there, done that... Did ALL these steps, but that does not fix the problem... AFTER inputting the SSID manually, selecting security, and then the password, iPhone STILL says it cannot connect...

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

  • IPhone 4S not staying connected to wifi?

    I have both iPad and iPhone connected to same wifi, but my iPhone 4S does not stay connected.  I have tried to reset network, restart iPhone and they do connect but disconnects shortly afterwards.  Can anyone help me?

    Did you solve this problem? My new MacBook Pro 15" running 10.8.2 has exactly the problem you describe with our new Netgear N600. The other devices in our house (iMac running 10.5, a PC and an iPhone 3Gs) have no connectivity probelms at all.
    I have no problem connecting with my MBP at work or elsewhere. The problem is just at home with the N600.

  • Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

    When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

    By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

  • IPod touch - not staying connected to WiFi

    Just bought an iPod touch for my daughter. It will not stay connected to wifi. Everyday we are having to reconnect and enter our password. All our other devices are fine (MacBook, iPhones, iPads etc). Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
    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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

    Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network.  I have to input my password each time I leave my house.  My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade.  Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network?  Thanks.

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Yoga 13 does not automatically connect to Wifi at times

    My yoga 13 does not automatically connect to WIFI at times thought it has been saved to automatically connect. It will connect after I click on the WIFI icon in the desktop and then it sees the WIFI network and automatically connects to it. Though it is not a big deal it is minor inconvenience that I have to click that icon at times when internet doesn't work. This shouldn't be the case for a laptop that retails over 1000 bucks. Any suggestions?

    This happens to me too. I haven't found a solution yet either.

  • HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

    I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi.  I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one.  I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money.  Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

    I already pay apple for my iphone data
    You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
    Why are there so many bad reviews
    Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

  • IPhone 4 does not stay connected to internet over 3G+

    I have an iPhone 4 on the telus network running the latest version of the os 4.3.3. My phone will not stay connected to the Internet most of the time. It looses connection and won't reconnect until I turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. It also looses connection if I have wifi on and it detects a network but choose not to connect to it. I have restored my phone and it fixed the problem for half a day before it started again. I only have a couple months warranty left, is this covered do you think?

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Imac not staying connected to wifi

    Hello, I am running a mid-2010 21.5 inch iMac and attempting to run it wirelessly to my wireless router / modem. OS is Yosemite 10.10.1. Once connected the iMac can access the internet normally, send mail etc, however, sometimes (not always), after going to sleep and I start using it again, I find that it has lost, or does not maintain, or does not re-establish the wifi connection.  Comments please. Are there some setting changes I should try. I've found nothing obvious to try.

    Try the basics first:
    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • 8520 would not stay connect to WIFI

    1. she has to turn her WIFI and Hotspot on/off for my phone to fine it...
    2. it doest not stay connected for long..even thou it say on her phone that i am connected 
    it seem i am the only one who is having this problem 
    any ideas ??? 
    Thank you 

    Couldn't find a solution  the problem only when I try to connect through a phone like (Iphone) so the best thing is just pay a plan or connect though a router 
    I love my BB but  I found out 3 problems 
    1. The connection though a another phone 
    2. If you have a plan you can't use WiFi 
    3. If your plan expired you have to put another sim card than put your sim card to connect thought a Wifi 
    So I am not 100% happy with my BB but i'll mange
