IOS 6 WIFI drops

Hi all.
Since upgrading my ipad 2 to iOS 6 I can start a wireless connection, work for a while, but it drops after 90 seconds each time requiring to connect again. Forget network, reboot, reset network settings, deleting cookies did not help.
Any suggestions? J

Dear All
my problem has disappeared after turning off the router and switching it back on a couple of seconds later.

IOS 8.1.2 on iphone 6 Wifi drops and doesnt reconnect

Hi,
I had the an issue with wifi dropping and not reconnecting automatically on my iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2
The wifi was disconnecting every minutes even when the screen was not locked. I had to go back to wifi settings and reselect the network I want
I tried all the tips available (forget network, reset network setting, reboot phone, disable location, disable air drop/bluetooth, etc)
This was happening mostly in hotels with annoying DNS that redirects you to a web page to login with name/room # so changing wifi router settings was not an option
I finally set up static IP adress as mentionned in another post and now my wifi is stable for 3h (and reconnects works too)... thanks
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6554548?tstart=0
I have resolved this issue on my new iPhone6 as follows. My router is a fairly old Belkin in this case.
1) on iPhone in settings, WiFi, forget this network
2) select the network again and select the blue i button
3) Log in to your ADSL router from another device and note network and DNS settings
4) on iPhone reconfigure using Static settings rather than DHCP (thats what I did anyway)
5) Log in to your ADSL router again and restart it or power it down and up again
6) on iPhone reconnect to the WiFi when it restarts
Now everything seems to be ok with the iPhone connected and staying connected.
However this is more a patch than a fix because when I leave the hotel (or any wifi network), the router will assign my static IP to someone else end when I come back it wont work anymore,
My guess is that IOS 8 has problems reconnecting to a router when a new IP address is leased.
The fact that the signal is weak might also affect the frequency at which the ip is renewed
FYI, I have always been a android user and just switched to apple... Not impressed. Hope this is fixed shortly

Jay,
I've tried most everything as well (including new router before I realized it wasn't our iphone 5's but IOS 8 updates. After turning off LTE and Data Roaming in the Cellular settings, things work much better. WiFi stays connected. Have since re-enabled LTE and it still works. Tried a dozen other "recommendations"; it may have been a combination of things. Still not blazing speed, but tolerable. Just wish 8.1.3 had the fix (from what I've seen today, it's not fixed). Be glad you're not having the SIRI hands-free problem; she won't connect calls in one car and has problems connecting in the other car. About as many have this problem as the wifi snafu that came with IOS 8.

Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.
(Not native english speaker, hope you'll understand)

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7 and wifi drops all the time.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time. What is the problem?

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
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 drooping 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.

Wifi drops

My wifi drops all the time , I have to be close to the router in order to be connected. Whit my other devises I can connect and get a decent signal all over. These problem is on my iPhone 5 whit iOS 6.01. By the way my wife iPhone 4 works just great all over while I can't even detect wifi

I am on g only mode, wpa security....and I have tried everyrouter setting to make sure that was not the issue....the playbook simple has a flaw that drops wifi.....Funnily enough I lose my wifi connection everytime my brother brings his Ipad into the house even though I am grabbing a static ip.....
All that is left is the brand of router....I am on a dlink that seems to work perfect for everything but the playbook...

WiFi dropping on new ipad2

Just bought it yesterday and so far really disappointed with wifi dropping out after 15 seconds! reset network settings, upgraded to latest ios and even when i get it showing it goes as soon as I open an app! been an apple user for 18 years and thisis the first apple product that doesent make me feel like a kid at christmas, please help restor my faith and get it working?

My iPad2 after lates iOS 7.1 update was dropping wifi every 15 sec or so. Same issue on my AppleTv. At the same time iPad Air was firmly connected on the same wifi network and so was my iPhone 4S. The only thing that solved it once and for all was changing my router to security WPA/WPA2 and AES/TKIP. To do this, open your Internet browser on a computer and visit the router's configuration page. If the router uses WEP security, switch to WPA or WPA2. And bingo!

IOS6 Makes WIFI drop constantly!

iOS6 Makes WIFI drop constantly on my iphone! How can I fix this? Thanks to your new sloppy OS6, I should never of updated! The maps is a mess as well.

I was not aware I was treating someone badly, merely showing frustration on paying so much money on equipment, should definitely have quality associated with it. Saying “Thanks to your new sloppy OS6, I should never of updated!” refers to apple developers and their QA testing team for allowing a release with two big fall-backs. As well as a mistake I made by updating. I will make sure not to start my post off irritated (see the correct spelling) and hostile so I can get as much as possible. Next time I will send out a bunch of flowers, some bunnies and unicorns jumping out of rainbows. Where everyone can hug each other and sing along on the word messiness, maps and Wi-Fi. Doing that, I presume the “much” I would accumulate would be more than a link to the apple feedback service and I will get an iOS dedicated to me with my own link as well.
I will gladly redirect myself to: www.apple.com/feedback/ that was probably the only thing you had to post. Except if you will provide me with the “much” and a new IOS, then I will send some flowers, bunnies and Unicorns immediately.

Remote app wifi drops out constantly

Hello,
Just a quick question - When I use the Remote app on my iPhone the wifi drops out all the time. I'll open up the application, it works fine, I change a song, then after 2 or 3 minutes I'll go back to put on a different song and get the Cannot connect to iTunes screen. Also the wifi icon up the top of my iPhone isn't on. I can fix this by going in to Settings > Wifi and it finds the network, then I can go back in to the remote app but obviously this is annoying to do every time I want to change a song.
I'm not using a router, just created a wireless network for my phone through Aiport on my mac. What turns the wifi connection off after a while if it's not constant in use, is it the computer or iPhone?
What settings can I change so that this connection is constant? And yes the stay connected setting in the remote app is turned on.
Thanks for any help : )

I'm experiencing the same problem. I recently got the latest gen Apple TV. I couldn't believe the instability of the Remote app's connection to the Apple TV.
Prior to the new ATV, I used a Mini and Front Row and the previous version of the Remote app worked flawlessly. Once connected, I could lock my phone and come back to it periodically and it was always connected in would respond near instantly.
Now unfortunately, every time I lock the phone the remote app loses the connection and I have to wait for it to find the ATV, restore the connection, load the library. It's maddening. I mean the AirPlay stuff is great but a stable consistent connection is the foundation to everything.

GP70 2PE Leopard WiFi drops

Hello
I've been having WiFi drops with this laptop at random intervals. It is probably an issue with the WiFi drivers. Is there any post about this issue already, that states the correct drivers to fix this problem?
Regards,
Niels

Hey, I've used the manual to improve/stabilize my internet connection. There still are some small drops in the connection and sometimes it is completely gone, turning on and off the WiFi on this laptop instantly restores the connection.
The router I am using is this one:

Additionally I've noticed that periodically my wifi will drop out, and when I go to Airport Utility my Extreme is unavailable. I don't know if this error and the two the wifi drop outs are linked or not. At first I thought it was the new firmware for the basestation, but now I'm not so sure because last time I launched airport utility and the extreme was unavailable I saw the basestation come back on line.
One final note. I have a home server on a mac mini (ML Server essentially for ituens shared liberary). All the macs access this server.

Wifi drops constantly on WPA enterprise wifi on my campus

Hello,
I own a macbook pro retina mid 2012 on maverick. The wifi drops constantly on campus, it's a WPA enterprise wifi. The wifi seems to work fine at home. My computer has been sent to an apple store twice for this issue already, I got it back but it is still not working and i spent more than 3 hours on the phone with apple trying to solve that issue. They made me run a lot of stuff, got me to send them files so that their engineers could work on them.
Bottom of the story, they tell me that the problem must come from my university wifi, a wifi network used by 50 000 students every single day and everyone is fine with it ...
I have been to the computer help desk on campus and they had no idea what to do.
So please if anyone has any hint, i would greatly appreciate as I lost faith in apple "engineers" and their skills.
Thanks guys.

Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3. I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions. Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3. I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine. I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider. Thank you so much.

That is correct, so I have just been told!! Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer. All this has been working for years. The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine. We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads. I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks. Before that all worked perfectly fine.
By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

New Time Capsule Gen4 Wifi drops

the 1. old TC 1. Gen a lo of problems with Power Supply, Backup but the Wifi works over 3 Years well.
now i get a new TC Gen4, but Wifi will not work stable. After few hours, mostly in evening, Wifi drop the internet Session on Ipad's.
i changed the TC in a new one, similar problem, i upgraded to 7.6.1 ... similar problem.
i discoussions here a lot of Wifi issues are reported, no one get a solution i tried all the tips ... not solving the pain.
older firmware are referenced to get more stable, but there is no link on apple's support page -> if you get a link, please give me ex. 7.5.1/2 are bether.
older firmware does have a bullet more under option -> something like "interference sensibility". maybe this would help.
old TC was fine, same area, same time, new TC and replaced TC is bad -> please apple its yours to fix this!!
any serios solution its helpfull, now i tried over 5 days all options, channels ... its worst!
thanks

You need 5.6 utilty for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Then when you select to update the firmware, hold down the options key.. the link to the older firmware opens and you can select.. but the new Gen4 might not go back if it was originally supplied to you with 7.6 firmware.
Use the old Gen 1 for wireless. Just use a 5v power supply hard wired to the internal board plug. The TC will run forever with a simple external 5v 3A power supply.
