Dropping Internet connectivity via wifi. Tries to connect

I just got an ipad2. It sometimes connects to my wifi & sometimes won't find the network. I have turned on/off wifi in settings, powered on/off iPad but to no avail. Any suggestions appreciated. (we have a lynksys wireless router - have rebooted it a few times as well)

Amy-
Try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

  • Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

    Not completely familiar with  wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

    Hi,
    It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.

  • Why can't I use my mac as a WiFi extender if it is receiving it's internet connection via WiFi?

    Now I'm not the most tech savvy person, but why is it I can't use my mac as a WiFi extender if it is getting its internet signal via WiFi? Would it mess up the original signal it's receiving?

    You can do it.. but we do not recommend the use of a computer to do a task that a cheap router can handle better..
    But what you need is a second wifi card. In a Mac there are a number of ways to achieve that.. without card slots .. USB wireless sticks that are Mac compatible is one way.
    You set up the computer with ICS (internet connection sharing) just look it up.
    You receive signal on whichever network you have .. Ethernet being hugely superior of course.. and then the computer can act as router/bridge to duplicate that connection via any other network connection it has.. on a Mac with thunderbolt.. you could use a second ethernet via adapter.. or wifi with USB stick etc.
    However.. a cheap second hand Apple router will work far better doing the same wireless extend.. without requiring your computer to be on 24/7 for any other client to use.

  • I recently purcased a Roku which I connected via WiFi.  Was unhappy with it so disconnected all.  Since that time my Ipad will not connect to the internet.  Any suggestions?

    I recently purchased a Roku which I connected via WiFi.  I was unhappy with it so disconnected everything.  Since that time my iPad 1 will not connect to internet although in "settings" it indicated that it is connected.  I turned off the WiFi for 30 seconds as was suggested but still the iPad won't conect.  Anybody have suggestions as to what might provide a "fix"? 

    I wonder if the roku changed some other settings in your router or pad.
    Recycle the router.  Thurn it off for a while, then restart.
    On the pad, forget your exiting network.  This will cause it to search for avaialbe, and reset again.  You will likely need to redo any password/ security entry.
    Lastly, in settings, general, reset network connections.  You will not lose anything.

  • Email application on N810 wontg connect via wifi

    i have a nokia N810 internet tablet and since changing my broadband to talktalk, my email application wont connect.
    my N810 will connect via wifi to my router but when i click the send\receive button on the email application, nothing happens. it does work if i connect via bluetooth and use the internet connection on my phone. it also worked fine on wifi before i switched to talktalk. this leads me to believe there is a seting somewhere on my router config that is blocking my N810's email appliction.
    does anyone know what the problem could be?
    thanks in advane.

    Hello,
    Im having this issue aswell. All the applications are working fine when connected to packetdata but not the wifi network. I tried hard reseting the phone twice allready but nothing helps. Please fix this asap.

  • I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

    I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet.  I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working.  When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

  • Can not find air printer - using epson wf 3520 connected via wifi

    Hardware: macbook air
    Software: Osx 10.9.5
    Epson printer wf3520 connected via wifi is working - latest printer software installed
    -when trying to add an air printer sometimes its showing up under bonjour - usually its not showing as available printer
    -when it is installed and I try to print I get the message "printer not connected"
    Any help how to install it correctly?

    Hi wolfgangfromhildesheim,
    If you've gone through the article that Allen provided, have gotten through to the step where you reset your printing system, and the issue persists, then the next step in the article is for you to contact the printer manufacturer for further assistance.
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.

    When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

    Had the same issue and finally solved it.  After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
    Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved.   Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
    BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
    ***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
    New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

  • Anone connecting via wifi?

    Greetings!
    I've been having troubles downloading HD movie files with iTunes 9.0.2. An other content downloads fine after purchase. Problems come when trying to download any file larger than 2 gig or so.
    An Apple expert tells me that the problem is that the PC running iTunes is connected via wifi. Unfortunately, moving the machine or router is not a simple option.
    So wondering if anyone out there is downloading HD content via wifi and having any issues, or doing fine?
    BTW, I use AppleTV to watch the content from the PC, a connection made via the wifi router without issue.
    Thanks!

    Works fine for me. I'm using an 8-yr-old Linksys router on 802.11b, set to a channel that doesn't interfere so much with the neighbors.
    If this is a new router, check to see if the manufacturer has any firmware updates.

  • Airport Extreme connected via wifi -- will remote MobileMe still work?

    I have two Macs: a desktop and a laptop. I have the latest software and I have MobileMe. My internet is physically connected to the desktop computer. The laptop is connected via wifi using a non-Apple router.
    According to Apple's website concerning the AirPort Extreme, "Say you’re traveling and you need a file on the hard drive connected to your AirPort Extreme back at home. If you’re a MobileMe member using Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, no problem. You can access all the files on your shared drive over the Internet."
    My question is this: if I attach an Airport Extreme to the laptop -- which is connected via wifi to the network -- will I still be able to access the attached hard drive via MobileMe while traveling, or does this work only if the Airport Extreme is directly wired to the internet?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, very helpful.
    Say it loud, this is one of the best things of Airport, you control the volume even with the optical output:
    ¿However, why I can´t do the same with the optical output of my 2008 Mac Mini?
    Each one (Mac mini 2008  and Airport Express 2008) have optical link to both receivers (Denon AVR3805 and Denon AVR1905).
    But I must control the volume of the mac mini with the remote of the AVR3805.
    It seems Airplay makes some magic, but straight driver of OSX over audio device don´t.
    What a PIA (Pain in the ***). They can put Gigabits of audio information in the optical link but they can´t add a layer adding a header of some bytes to the packets, adressed to a smart DAC than can control the analog output with two bytes of information.
    IEEE, ¿Will you make a layer specification for smart DACs? Life and devices use would be much simpler.
    Apple in the meantime makes the magic he is able with Airplay.
    Some day.

  • Blackberry 9300 not connecting via wifi

    I have a blackberry curve 9300 and when I turn off the data and connect via wifi, there is no data access at all. However when I was traveling and I had data roaming off, in had internet access. But then I had the data turned on, but data roaming off. The problem is when I turn data off. It doesn't work on wifi alone. Is this normal? Is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello Mira_ishak
    As I told to Turn Off your Mobile Network , but on a BlackBerry 6  and 7 if on Manage Connection we Turn On our Mobile Network as well as WiFi then by default our Browser will always choose wifi as prefered connection , User just turn it off to be sure that they are not using there Carrier Data, To use BBM we need an SIM card which has an active BIS connection even to use it over an wifi Network .

    I have a 2007 iMac connected via WiFi. It has been working fine until I turned it on after a recent vacation. Network Preferences indicates that it is correctly connected to my WiFI system but the data input and output rate is virtually zero. I know that the WiFI signal is reaching the iMac since both my iPhone and iPad are working perfectly at that location. I have rebooted the router and the iMac to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Geoff
