E3000 - Drops wireless for my iPads

The issue I am experiencing with my E3000 router is that it drops wireless for my ipads. I have found no root cause or behavior. It can go for days with no issues but will then drop the devices after just a few minutes even after a reboot. I have a fiber optic internet connection and am running the latest router firmware. Last night I updated the router settings using a guide I found on your support page.
This has been an ongoing problem since I purchased the router. 
Thanks.

1) We have Mac computers, XBox 360 wi-fi, Wii, iPads, one PC laptop and a Blackberry (on wi-fi). It seems to drop them all, but is most noticed on the iPads. We have two SSID's (one for 5Ghz and one for 2.4Ghz). We can sometimes simply switch between the two and get the connection back, but then other times even that doesn't work.
2) We have no wired computers. I do have a separate wired XBox, wired Blu-Ray, and wired DVR, but have never thought to check them when the wireless has dropped. Will try to the next time it happens.
3) See #1 above.

  • NO Wireless for my iPad Air

    Eight hours of trying, but still no wireless. I am ready to give up. I have read several posts, and I have tried everything:
    1. Shut off my Netgear router/restarted it
    2. Reset settings on my iPad Air
    3. Used airplane mode to turn off wireless before trying to establish connection
    Nothing works! This Christmas gift has turned into a pain in the abs :-(
    Meanwhile, my husband is connected and is using his 2nd generation iPad with no problems. Go figure!
    Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Linksys E3000 dropping wireless connections

    I know others have posted this and I have followed the advice I could find:
    Set channel manually - i've tried all the channels no help
    Different SSIDs for 5g and 2.4g
    Beacon Interval 50
    Fragmentation threshold 2306
    RTS Threshold 2304
    I'm running firmware 1.0.04 build 6   <script type="text/javascript"></script> Dec 6, 2010
    I've had the router for 4 months now and this has been happening for the last 3.
    Any assistance would be appreciated. 

    As per the scenario that you explained that even after upgrading the firmware the connection drops... But after upgrading the firmware did you reset the Router and configured it back...So for better connectivity reset the Router and configure it again as per the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
    While setting up the router reduce the MTU size to 1400 from auto...
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
    Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    Disable all the anti-virus and security centers...
    After doing all these settings then check the condition...

  • I want to buy a wireless headset for my iPad that will allow me to lissen to a video while blocking out any other sounds in the room yet is comfortable. I do not have any experience with headsets so I do not know what to expect.

    I want to buy a wireless Bluetooth headset for my iPad that will allow me to listen to a video while blocking out any other sound in the room. I tried a philips 6000 earplugs but it was not good at blocking out sound. Can anyone give me some suggestions. I see lots advertised but do not know which one to chose.

    Take a look at HeadRoom (headphone.com). It's a fabulous resource for all types of headphones, with great guides and useful reviews.

  • Is there a PORTABLE wireless router that I could travel with to convert hotel LAN lines into wireless signals for my iPad?

    I travel regularly to Asia and I have been trying to compile everything I need into my iPad.  Unfortunately, most of my hotels do not have wireless in the rooms just an LAN line.  Does anyone know of a router (as small as possible) that I can plug an LAN line into that will convert it to a wireless signal I can access with the iPad.  What I don’t want is to have to plug the router into a computer and program it forevery different LAN line I encounter.  Thoughts???

    As the others have said, Airport Express is one option.  The catch as Allan said is that the configuration utility doesn't run on the iPad.  It is rumored that iOS5 may have the utlity, but that doesn't help you now.  If you can wait, then the Airport Express would arguably be the best for the iPad.
    If you can't wait, you could get the D-Link DAP-1350.  You configure it through a webpage, similar to how you would other home routers.
    http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DAP-1350
    I use the older DWL-G730AP 802.11g version and it's been very good to me for use by my Macbook Pro and iPad1.

  • I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

  • I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

    I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

    Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
    Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
    I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

    Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Will wireless keyboard for 1 iPad interfere with another iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 (WiFi) on order. I will probably get a second one for my wife.
    I have 2 questions about the wireless keyboard:
    1) If I get a wireless keyboard, can I use it for either iPad?
    2) If my wife and I are both using apps at the same time on our separate iPads that require text input and my wife is using the keyboard for hers, will it interfere with the text input on my iPad?

    You can have multiple iPads in the same room, each with their own assigned/paired keyboard.  I suppose at some level they might interfere with each other (like tens of thousands of cell phones at a BIG sports event), but I have seen labs with dozens of keyboards and iPads with no problem!

  • Hi All! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but torn between wifi or wifi cellular. Can I use for sure, my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad if I get the ipad wifi only? And if yes, is the signal/connection good? Thank you.

    Hi all! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but I'm torn between wifi or wifi+cellular because of the price difference. Can I really use my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad? If yes, is the signal good and fast? Thank you for your response.

    Yes you can if:
    1: Your cellular provider offers a data tethering option.
    2: You have subscribed to this option.
    Speed will be as it is with your existing iPhone.
