IOS 5 and ipad2 dropping wifi connection

After applying the update my ipad2 keeps briefly dropping the wifi connection and then reconnecting, although sometimes it prompts me to choose which network to connect to. No problems before the update and all other devices are connecting fine. Any thoughts?

I have fixed my problem...
I turned off my wireless router and back on again and now its working fine..
after spending ages resetting to ipad and mucking aroung with my home router settings, all I had to do was to turn it off then back on..
Hope this helps others..
yep, same issue here.....
I changed my router channel and it fixed the problem for a while...
I changed my router to wireless "n" only and it worked again for a while..
now I have not a clue...

When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

IPad Air after upgrade to ios 8 continue to drop WiFi connection

On September 19, I upgrade my ipad air to ios 8, and it had been dropping Wifi connection ever since. I was browsing using Chrome and next thing the browser hang up; then error message informed me to no network connection. By the way, my network was strong (5 bars), because I was streaming to my Roku in HD without any issues. At the same time, my Airplay do not want to stream the content in full screen either. It only mirror what have see on my ipad, not allow me to go full screen on TV. I hoped Apple will step up and correct this issue as soon as possible; I miss the good old day of reliable upgrade from Apple.

Yes, and hopeful 8.1.1 will help. It's supposedly in beta testing.

My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the phone?

My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
Thanks in Advance

Reboot.
Restore (from backup)
Restore (as new)
Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.

Recently i upgrade my iPad2 to 7.1(11D167) and now the wifi connection is very weak, I am not sure if it is a hardware or software issue, help please!

Ipad2 dropping wifi

Ipad2 dropping wifi. There is no rhyme or rhythm to when this happens. Sometimes it takes minutes to get it back, and sometimes much much longer. Sometimes it looses the wifi connection just after it connects. This just started the last 4 months or so and I've had this iPad since it came out.

It might have nothing to do with your equipment but try unplugging your router for a few minutes and see what happens

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

My mac mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity

Hi Folks,
My new Mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity so I lose the connection to Apple TV and even just browsing on Safari seems painful hoping a page will load before losing connectivity. I reset my router, restart the mini and it intermittently keeps happening. Has anyone come up with a workable solution?
Thanks

Hi Leo, this has worked for a few...
Though all of these steps may or may not be needed, I'm including them all.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

IPad randomly dropping wifi connection

I have seen quite a few posts regarding iPad dropping wifi connection. I have tried all the usual reboot router, updates, etc but the issue remains.
I need to keep switching wifi off then on again to re connect?
Does anyone have any better ideas than waiting for a bug fix?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have not had this issue outside of my home wifi so I suppose this points to a router issue.
When I read that others have had the same issue I presumed it was a bug.
"Updates" does mean router firmware updates.
I am using WPA2-PSK security but have tried WEP and WPA-PSK setting with the same result.
The router is a Netgear RangeMax model DG834PN
It is in g&b mode( whatever that means)
I appreciate your comments.

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
To be just like the rest.

How can I stop my ipad from dropping wifi connection?

How can I stop my ipad from dropping wifi connection?

Thanks for trying those steps out!
Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
Thanks,

ISA550W dropping wifi connection

Just wondering if anyone else has seen the IAS 550W dropping WiFi Connection
I have 2 SSID's on two differnet Vlans so they are seperated.
I have several users purly using WIFi connection and every now and then teh connection dropps out and then reconnects with in 20 -30 secs.
Havent been able to figure out whay the connection dropps in first place
As i have several Ap connection s avaiable on my machine i keep connecting to wrong network when my main connection dropps off.
Any on e any ideas?
Thanks
Nick

For testing purposes can you set a static channel on your ISA. This channel would have to be one that does not overlap with any of the other AP's channels. If your enviromental noise level is high then i wouldnt recommend keeping a static channel.
Hope this help with your troubleshooting

Why does my iPhone 6 keep on dropping wifi connection

after I used my iPhone 6 for a 2 weeks it started to drop wifi connection so I restored it and it worked for 1 month then it started to drop wifi connection again and restoring it dosen't solve the problem anymore and I updated it to 8.1.3

I have tried resetting everything and it makes no difference. Problem is same in different locations. Apple store verified problem which is why they exchanged phone for new model but wifi is still poor and drops frequently even though the iPhone 3GS in the family work perfectly on same access points.

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
