Follow this to fix wifi for iPad

Hello all I was in this forum yesterday trying to fix the WiFi connection on my iPad. This is what I have found to fix the issue.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304
I followed the steps as listed by Apple and all has been good. I do know that adding the update to 3.2.2 os worked the best. I thought that I would post this here to help others. Now if this does not work I guess that you should take it in to Apple.

Interesting about the low power.
My group just installed an Alcatel-Lucent wireless solution for a new facility that consists of an OAW-6000 wireless switch and 28 AP125 a/b/g/n thin-APs. Am running production build v3.4.2.5 of the switch software, which when installed triggers updates to all AP.s
Information on APs found here:
http://enterprise.alcatel-lucent.com/?product=WLANAP124&page=overview
Information in wireless switch found here:
http://enterprise.alcatel-lucent.com/?product=WLAN6000&page=overview
Just got my iPad Tuesday to assist with work, so far working out very well. When I was in the building earlier this morning I had no problems with connectivity to the wireless network - the iPad battery was in the range ~50-90% during the morning and early afternoon.
I noticed later this afternoon that when moving around to different parts of the building, connectivity was "spotty", with messages indicating that the iPad was unable to connect to a server, web-site, etc. The iPad battery was in the range ~10-20% during the late afternoon.
These connectivity messages appeared to be more frequent as the iPad battery drained lower and lower. I re-booted the wireless switch, which did not clear the problem the iPad was experiencing.
I drained the iPad battery down completely and plugged the iPad in to charge. I will see how a fully charged iPad accesses the network on Monday.

What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

Why is it my network does not show up any longer on wifi for ipad? Have tried network reset still not tere cannot go to internet

have tried network reset but my network is not showing cnnot access internet.

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

Best wifi for iPad uk

Hi everyone,
I recently just bought an iPad air and have tried to connect it to my home BT Hub 5 wifi. It refuses to work.. I've been on the phone to Apple and BT support. I see from other posts that apparently lots of people have had this problem too. I've tried all the separating the 2.4 and 5 GHz signals, reseting settings etc etc..
I'm now considering switching who I get my broadband from.. can anyone recommend which is a stable broadband supplier for iPad and Macbook Pro?
I can't believe they charge so much money and the thing doesn't work!! Unbelievable..
Thanks
Andy

finally got to the bottom of it, the iPad can't handle the two wave bands going at the same time, so if you disable the 5GHz and leave the 2.4GHz one running, it works... Took hours on tech support to finally get it going!
hope this helps someone...

Mobile WIFI for ipad 2

Can someone please help me find out to get internet on my ipad2 when I will be out of town and the house does not have internet service? Is there any type of aircard I can buy without a long term contract. I use At & T.

There are mobile hotspots that you can buy and you can purchase a data plan to use the hotspot with. I have the Verizon MIF2200 hotspot and it works quite well. My iPad is WiFi only as well and bought the iPad, the hotspot and the data plan all from Verizon. My plan is month to month but it will renew every month unless I cancel the plan - but I do not have a contract at all to worry about cancelling.
Take a look for yourself.

Is there an antenna booster for wifi for ipad???

Looking to boost my wifi range. Is there an antenna booster for wifi for ipad

There is no such thing for the iPad AFAIK. You could, however, get a signal booster for your wireless router.

Portable wifi for ipad

Can you purchace a wifi card for the iPad 2?

I'm not sure what you mean. All iPads have WiFi built in. If you wish to connect to a cell network from a WiFi-only iPad, then you can use either a MiFi device as tonefox suggested or use a cellphone which supports Personal Hotspot (AKA "tethering").
If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify.
Regards.

Setting up wifi for ipad with an existing hard wired network

Greets all.
Got my aged mother in law an ipad so her bad eyes could read ebooks. Only way she can download new books is with a wifi connection. Trouble is, at her house My aged father in law had a hard wired dsl connection to the internet with Windows PCs. Can I install a wifi network in her house and still leave the existing hard wired network (all commputers connected via cat5) intact? I only need the wifi connection for the ipad. That said; what do I need to make this happen besides a wireless router. Ive heard the Airport Extreme gets good reviews. I only have pc experience and have a linksys router at my own house for my wifi network. So please...can the wifi ipad connection and hard wired dsl connection peacefully coexist and if so how do I go about setting it up? Thanks much!

Thank you! Thank you! Awesome! I've been trying to find an explanation for this is laymen's terms (I'm new to Mac and wi-fi networks) and this answered my question exactly. I have an iMac I want to keep its wired connection, and the iPad to run off wi-fi. Sounds like the Airport Extreme is the way to go, but I only say that because it's an Apple product.
What would be the advantage/disadvantage with going with something like DLink or Linksys? Or as long as I buy something with the 10/100 802.11b/g support, should I be okay.
Thanks again!

Wifi for Ipad

I have been working on the dropped wifi issue since April 3rd. Going to discussions and trying everything, I went to an Apple store and was told to go to WPA. I did that and things were better bit not perfect. Went back to WEP and updated the router software and/or restored the software and changed the channel to channel 1. I also changed my password to five characters. So far, after about four hours of use, I see fluctuations of signal but not ONE drop of wifi. So far, this has worked for me and I have a FIOS system and an Actiontec ro

Although I haven't had issues with my home wifi, maybe this might be helpful to others who are having issues.

Hi mopster555,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not receiving messages on two iOS devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

HT4623 iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

My ipad also does not shut down. I've tried to reboot a million times (holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously). I've tried resetting everything (after successfully backing up on iCloud). I tried the remote reboot (backing up ipad on iCloud, then on a separate computer, log on to iCloud, locate your device, clear all, reboot everything). Nothing worked. Took the ipad to the tech dept at the store, and they said its a mechanical failure of the power button, either the sensor or spring. Without the extended warranty, costs $250 to fix, because the screen is glued down to the machine. With the warranty, they would have replaced it for free. Ugh. My ipad is 1.5 years old. It would have been covered. But it shouldn't be so easy to damage! Outrageous that ipads are so glitchy at this price point. Outside techies can fix, but the machine could be damaged because of the way it's made.
Another option the techie at apple told me about, which won't shut down the ipad but will take it to the locked home screen, is go to Settings, General, Accessibility, under physical and motor, turn on the Assistive touch. That adds a button to the screen. Select Device, then Lock, and that takes you straight to the black screen. Not a total power down but maybe it burns through the battery less.

Exchange server damages Word files - cannot be opened on Word for iPad anymore

Dear all,
I posted the following problem in the Office for iPad forum and was asked to address this topic here as well. Probably you can help?
In my office we are using Word 2007 to create ordinary .docx files. When I email such a file to my iPad I cannot open it neither in the Mail.app preview nor in Word for iPad.
Mail.app tells me its an "Office Open XML word processing document" and Word just tells me the file is damaged. However the files opens just fine in various versions of Word for PC and Mac.
Does anyone know what is happening here? I bought Office for iPad especially to being able to open the word files I create in my office... :-(
Additional info:
I ran the following test:
I took a .docx file I created on my office PC which was stored on our server and saved it locally to my PC harddrive. I then saved a copy as .doc as well. Then I emailed both files to my office Outlook account AND my iCloud account (with one email).
BOTH files did NOT open in Word for iPad from my Outlook account (Exchange Server) but BOTH files just opened fine from my iCloud account.
I then forwarded the email from my Outlook account to my iCloud account and now BOTH files did NOT open on the iPad anymore.
So it seems that my Outlook account (Exchange server) corrupts the files so they cannot be opened on the iPad anymore, while they can still be opened on a PC or Mac.
Do you have any ideas to solve that issue?
It cannot be that Office for iPad doesnt work in combination with an Exchange Server Outlook Account, can it?
best regards
Wolfgang

Hi,
I suggest doing following test and returning the results to me.
1. Please using OWA to open the .docx file on both PC and iPad via your Exchange account.
If the file can be opened in OWA. I suggest asking ActiveSync Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?forum=exchangesvrmobility
2. Please verify whether this issue occur on only one user (your Exchange account). If only you have this issue, it should be an issue on your Exchange account or your iPad.
3. Please try to use other's iPad for test. If the file can be opened on other's iPad, it seems an issue on your iPad.
Thanks
