IOS 6 NewiPad and dropping WiFi

New iPad WiFi connection dead immediately after iOS 6 upgrade:
WiFi can be restored by toggling flight mode off then on, and it will stay active until I go the App Store or try using maps at which time the WiFi stops working for all applications.
Toggling Flight Mode brings back the connection.
HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED?
I have tried the "renew" fix, the "reset" fix, the "forget" fix, the "AUTO Proxy" fix and done a couple of hard reset.Same problem, no change.
iPad functioned 100% under iOS 5.
Really annoying

Here is a reply to MY original post on this exact issue. I am unable to test it since I am on my employers network. Maybe someone else can try this and let everyone know if it works.

i have the same problem here on my new ipad. iOS6. i seem to fix this by turning my router off and then on again then changing my router's SSID. but first, log out to your apple account on the settings ("itunes and app stores") tab on your iPad. reboot the device and try again. i can connect to the internet immediately after. you can now access the appstore, you will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. but NEVER forget to log out your appstore/itunes account upon exiting the wifi. or else same problem will occur when you re enter to the same or other wifi networks.

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 Iphone keeps falling behind on time and dropping wifi?!

My Iphone 5c keeps falling back with the time on both automatic and manual. It also keeps dropping the Wifi connection. I sent it to o2 for repair they said Issue was resolved after they flashed software but its still happening. Its not any apps on my phone as it happens when I set it up as a new phone and dont pull on the backup and when I use it with my backup on there. I have IOS 8.1.3

i had this problem, i turned off imessage, turned off phone, turned on phone, turned on imessage and let it reactivate.

After this latest update to iOS 6, FaceTime and my WiFi network is not working for my iPhone 4S, could you please help me on what to do? I have already reset my network (which made it worst)

Could you please help me to fix my iPhone 4S
After the latest update we've had to iOS 6, I was not able to use FaceTime, it kept giving me an error that I was supposed to wait for an activation code which never arrived, after that I read many solutions which included resetting the networks, which I did to try and fix my problem. What this actually did was to break my network settings an now it doesn't recognize any wifi signal unless I have the router next to me and even the it is difficult.
Now I don't have FaceTime or access to wifi with my iPhone!
Please help me!

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Metal desk and dropped wifi

My father had an issue and lost both his printer and desktop
Im looking to exhaust all possible wireless solutions before I string wires everywhere
My dad is 70 and still kicking problem is he lost his old setup to an electrical issue that has since been recitfied
His new laptop an printer are both surrounded by metal
Laptop sits on a metal desk and his printer sits on a metal file cab surrrounded by metal file cab's
Laptop drops signal intermitently as does the printer
I have moved both to other areas and when not surrounded by the metal office both work without issue
I feel his metal desk may interfere with his wifi, am i right?
Anyone know of anyway to maintain a connection and allow him to use the desk his father gave him when he started his first business
Could i buy a 1/4' pvc sheet and use that as insulator or buffer between the tech an the metal?
Any help is appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you are right. Metal will shield wireless signals.
Hardware the devices with Cat5e cable.

Playbook and dropping wifi

Just picked up my new 64gb playbook due to the price drop and run setup wizard etc.I can connect to my home wifi initially and stay on for as long as I want, but then when I come to connect again say in the morning it doesn't let me on
I've got brand new virgin broadband the nice fibre optic quick stuff with a shiny superhub, my laptop runs fine using the Ethernet and the only other wireless devices in the house are 2 blackberry bolds which run fine.
I constantly have to reset the router in order to re connect with my playbook which is really frustrating.
Any help would be great as this is kind of making my playbook experience a poor one if I have to reset my router everytime I want to go online.
Cheers in advance

This is not a Virgin forum but...
Login to the router using your web browser at http://192.168.0.1
Enter your username/password. The default settings will be found on a label at the back of the superhub under "Superhub settings" and will probably be 'admin' and 'changeme' respectively.
On the next screen, find the 'Advanced Settings' link at the bottom of the page
Go to Wireless settings. It will be there.

IPad 2 Freezing and Dropping WiFi

Over the last few days my iPad 2 continuously freezes whilst watching things through iPlayer / Sky Go / 4 OD etc. Sometimes the WiFi will go completely and I need to switch back on.
I have checked our Internet and all is fine, tried using the apps via my iPhone 5 and had no problem whatsoever. The problem definitely lies with the iPad.
I have closed all Apps and restarted iPad a number on times but it continues to carry on in the same way.
iPad is fully charged, up to date with Software and has plenty of memory available.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Thanks

This is Apple's official WiFi trouble-shooting page. You should waalk through the list trying it all.
In addition, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S Repeatedly drop WiFi

First off I didn't know what category to put this question in because it really is AirPort, MacBook Pro, and iPhone 4S at once.
So I have a different home network setup than most, I have 2 routers on my network. Now before you start pointing fingers, all other devices work perfectly on it. I have two Netgear WNDR3300s, only one is DHCP, UPnP, NAT, etc... And they have separate channels. My family members' iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod 4, and iPad Mini, all work perfectly on this network at a blazing 20Mbps (Tested using Ookla's SpeedTest Website and iOS App). My iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro continuously drop the wifi signal at random times and I am no more than 5 feet from the nearest router. Here are the details in a less condensed form...
Network:
Cable Modem Arris TG722
v
Cat 5e Cable
v
Router 1 (DHCP, NAT, UPnP, Channels 6g and 157n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
Cat 5e Cable (Connected to 1 of the 4 LAN ports on BOTH routers)
v
Router 2 (No DHCP, No NAT, No UPnP, Channels 11g and 149n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
MacBook Pro
iPhone 4S
MacBook Pro
- Mid 2010
- 13 Inch
- OSX: 10.8.5
- Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- Memory: 8GB 1067MHz DDR3
iPhone 4S
- Bought about 3 months after release
- Condition: Like New
Routers
Netgear WNDR3300
Firmware up to date
Non-interfereing channels
Connected via CAT-5e
DCHP, NAT, UPnP only on one.
Something to note is that I do have AirPlay on my network passing through a first gen AirPort Express and second gen Apple TV on an Ethernet CAT-5e connection. I most often drop wifi when streaming to the AirPort Express, however it also occurs at other times. The devices do drop it randomly however, I was streaming music and it dropped 3 hours in when I did nothing.
I consider myself very tech savvy, of course that is opinionated. At this point I am clueless because of the randomness of the connection refusal and how all other devices are ok.
Not sure if I mentioned it but if I try to recconect to the netowkr after it drops it either says "Timed out" on Mac or "Unable to connect" on iPhone.
I am so confused now... If you have any ideas please let me know!
P.S. The two devices operate much better on my network when it only has one router, but I must have 2 for the range and versatility.
If any more information is needed please let me know.

I upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I am still having the same problem on both devices. It is occuring more and more often to the point where I almost broke something .
Something weird to note is that every time it drops, I will try to reconnect. When I do so, it says failiure still, but the new window on Mavericks has the diagnostics button. As soon as I hit that button the wifi jumps right back, working perfectly. (Of course then I will lose it 5 minutes later).
If anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!

ISE 1.2 IOS device re-auth (device drops WiFi)

My guest users use web-auth for authentication. An issue I've run into is that IOS devices drop WiFi during lock/sleep. This means if they were authenticated, then they will have to reconnect/reauthenticate to the SSID. I would like to find a way for these users to automatically reauthenticate (assuming they are still within their original session's timeout value). Think two hour meeting. Is there a way for me to set this up in ISE policy?
Something like:
IF user was authenticated within the session timeout value (6hrs)
THEN automatically let them back on without having to re-authenticate
Thanks.

OK, I'm seeing a lot of "Correct Answer" type replies in another similar posting, but not a complete answer. I have a similar issue, but only on a 2504 running 7.4.110. I have two 5508s running 7.4.115, and they don't seem to have this issue, however I could be wrong. Also, I'm running ISE 1.2, patch 2, soon to be patch 3 with the 5508s. I no not yet have ISE working with the 2504, but that is coming. We're not running Flex-Connect.
My users are a mix of guest users via the ISE Sponsor Portal, and employees, who authenticate via Active Directory. I am having problems putting the specifications into user-friendly terms. If I have to add a Registration Portal, I need to be able to explain who would use it and under what situation(s)
So, I guess what I'm looking for is what is the minimum OS I should be running on each platform to support ISE, WebAuth, and Apple & Android devices.
I don't seem to have Security --> Local Policy on either of my builds, so I'm guessing that this was added in 7.5. Given ISE 1.2, is there some mimimal WLC builds I should be using. Alternatively, is there ANY reason to NOT upgrade to 7.6
Tarik's link seems to include ISE 1.1.1, so I'm not sure how applicable it is to ISE 1.2. I'm not opposed to using device registration for employee devices, but I do not believe I wishto do this for guest/sponsored devices. I am not planning on a full BYOD rollout, so I do not wish to complicate things with an advanced license. My understanding is that with AD integration, I probably don't need a MyDevices portal.
In short, I'd like guest devices to have to auth at most once per day, and employees should be good until their AD credential expires. Again, I thought I had this working on a pilot using WLC 5508s and 7.4.115, but this definitely is not working in WLC 2504 with 7.4.110.
The only other thing I'd want to to be able to put the guest devices on one VLAN/SSID and the employee devices on another, but that's not as important at this time.

IPhone 4S with iOs 8 dropping wifi when unlocking the device

Hi,
my iPhone 4S with iOs 8 (8.1.3) is often dropping the wifi connection when unlocking the device. This started to happen only with iOs 8, iOs 7 was just fine.
When unlocking the device after at least 2 minutes of inactivity, it seems to be weekly connected on the wireless network but then it drops the connection and reconnects back again at full power. This happens:
- really, really often, but not always;
- with any access point I tried (different wireless chipsets), both on DHCP and static addressing
- with any wireless channel
- both on 802.11g and 802.11n
- rebooting the devices sometimes temporary fixes the problem (for 12-24 hours), sometimes it doesn't
- restoring the firmware in DFU mode didn't help, neither did resetting all settings and restoring as new device.
I really don't know how to fix this, I can't find anyone else having this problem on the Internet.
Here's a video showing the problem:
http://youtu.be/4ua9CPzKBfQ
Thank you.

Started happening to me on my IP5 with ios 8, on public & private wifi, completely random and was really frustrating, I forked out for a IP6 128gb and was ok but its started to happen again so it must be an IOS8 issue. The unit keeps dropping wifi and asking for passwords it knows, ignores your input then comes back by itsself after a few minutes
To be honest Apple should be disgusted with themselves. The phone is pointless without wifi and if this is the solution it will not work as you cannot go to every router everywhere you go. $700 is a lot of cash for a useless bit of kit.

Iphone 4s keeps dropping wifi after ios 6.1.1 upate

iphone 4s keeps dropping wifi after ios 6.1.1 update.....tried hard reset,reset networks,restored to new....... nothing is working....... apples update screwed up my phone and there support people told me no warranty nothing they can do.... just told how much it would cost..... really disappointed.

Same problem here with iPhone 4S IOS 6.1.1, the wifi drops and I have to retype the password...
I did all the things you mentioned and nothing...
Any solution??

When i updated my Iphone 4s to ios 7.0.2 suddenly wifi button disable after update and now its is now enabling. i have tried many times to restore, also tried with reset all setting from phone my whole date contents got erased but no solution over.

I need a solution over it. i have check on your cummunity people saying to keep the phone in refrigerator that will solve the WIFI problem. i hope apple are considering on the quwries of the people such a major case need to be sort out soon where all the data and contents are getting deleted from phone on the researt and also upgrading to the new IOS 7.0.2 or IOS 7.0.3 the WIFI buttopn is grayed (disabled). being on the global markets and such issues on upgrading then its better to be with the previos ios atleast it would work fine. even some times when i switch to HDR mode in cammera it crashes. some time it captures photo but when i try to view its total black dont even open on other phones or computers.
i kindly request you to go throuth the all the quesries and do revert on the same ASAP.

Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.
