Ios 7.1 ipad wifi problems

Since updating my ipad 2 to ios 7.1 I am unable to connect to my wifi. I have tried all the fixes found on the community discussions. Nothing works! I need my ipad and when it's down I'm losing money! I'm sure other ipad users are haviing the same problems .....please help!

Reading through the various threads it seems that there is a serious problem of wifi connectivity with some iPads.
For example the one I am using now drops the wifi connection every few minutes.
My partner, sitting next to me, has no problem whatsoever with her iPad.
I have seen co called 'solutions' such as changing router settings, etc., but this doesn't explain how all the other Android phones,PC's, wifi enabledq printers, etc., that are connected to the same network, do not experience this problem.
I've tried calling Apple to no avail and I see that one of the threads on here has now reached 140 or so pages, all about the same problem.
I called Apple again today and they actually hung up on me, after keeping me on hold for 3-4 minutes.
I guess it is time for some drastic action.
I'm now trying to find out who Apple use as their accreditation body for the international Quality Assurance Standard, ISO 9001.
As part of this policy they should have a well defined and recorded Customer Complaint procedure, and should be able to demonstrate how they deal with customer complaints.
Hanging up on customers isn't really a recognised method!
I am also taking this up with Trading Standards here in the UK, as the iPod I have is not really fit for purpose due to the fact it drops any wifi connection after a few minutes.
I used to consider Apple a reputable and ethical company but no longer hold that view.
It isn't simply that that they will not deal with this problem; there appear to be many thousands of people out there in the same situation and Apple don't appear to be even acknowledging this problem.
I urge people to take the same action if possible. Find out who Apple use for ISO 9001 and write to or email them with a complaint that Apple's customer complaint procedure does not appear to be working.
These large corporates tend to take things that much more seriously when they think they may lose their Quality accreditation.
Steve Jobs wouldn't have tolerated this sort of situation!

Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S. I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

IOS 6.1.3 wifi problems

Hi, and i have been having problems with wifi and ios 6.1.3. I log in to my wifi, hit join, and it says "Unable to join the network *****". Then i hit join a few more times, and it works. Why is this? I have a Cisco Linksys E3200 router. Is there a problem with iPads and cisco routers?

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

IPad iOS 4.2.1 WIFI problems (Server cannot connect)

my iPad is experiencing problems where after 5 minutes of browsing pages stop loading and I get an error saying cannot connect to server. any ideas? my router is lnksys and this is getting really annoying to renew cache evey 3 minutes.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
One solution that has helped some users of Linksys and Belkin routers in particular is to power cycle the router. Make sure it is completely shutdown, not just reset.
Then reset the network in the iPad.
And if the problem persists, change channels in the router, there may be interference from another network causing part of the problem.

Ipad Wifi problem after 7.1.2 update

Hey there! I noticed a big problem after updating my Ipad Air (Wifi Only) to iOS 7.1.2
When I put the device on standby It disconnects from the Wifi network, so I don't receive any push notification. Then when I start using the iPad again, the device reconnects immediately to the Wifi.

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

IPad wifi problem 5.01

Hi,
Just got a new iPad 2 as my old one's home button broke. My problem is that wifi is acting very oddly. I can connect for a while and then it disconnects. If I try and reconnect it does not find any wifi networks. Then the wifi option in settings becomes greyed out and says 'no wifi'. Resetting the network settings sometimes brings it back and I can connect again. However, after a short period it disconnects and does the same all over again.
Any ideas?
Running 5.01

Emerty...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset All Settings
Then the wifi option in settings becomes greyed out
If nothing helped try here > iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Cannot connect to iTunes Store after iOS installed on iPad wifi 3rd generation

My iPad 3rd generation was just updated to iOS yesterday without any problems. I can use the Internet and the wifi network just fine.
But, I am unable to access the iTunes store no matter what I have done. I reset the router / modem. I am really ****** that this has happened. At home there are no problems. There is nothing that I have done that caused this as far as I can tell. I took my Apple ID off and then put it back on the iTunes & App Store a number of times. Nothing works. It keeps asking me to Sign In and then it says I can't

Hey tpolevoy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't connect to iTunes store on the iOS device. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Ipad WiFi Problem

Hey guys can anyone help i have downloaded APP Sky Mobile Tv on IPAD
when i play Sky it will let me play Sky Sports for exactly 1 hour and it just stops playing until i start off the APP again starts again for 1 hour again and stops again
Modem is working for everything else computers etc no problems only with IPAD with this Sky App
WIFI working fine other than this problem with sky sports app
i've RESET and RESTORED ipad still have problem
Rang sky told there was no problem on their side
IPAD 64G 3G

Thanks lllaass for your support
I think I have a network problem with the router or the app is set up this way
I've tried the iphone 4 as well and have had the same problem as the iPad that it will stop the video after 1 hour of play so it cant be the devices that both are the same when playing
Until I start the app to play again
Wondering is it within the app that it does this only on WiFi as when on the 3G network it works fine without stopping
Thanks again

Apple really screwed the pooch with IOS 6 and iPad wifi

Around 7 PM EDT my IPad 3 disconnected wifi. Every time I tried to restart it I went to some sort of page at Apple which told me the page (whatever it is) couldn't be found and turned off wifi.
I'm really ****** that Apple has demonstrated - intentionally or not - that they can brick our Apple products whenever they feel like it.
So much for not worrying about Apple products or software.
No way will I even look at the iPhone 5 now!

I really hope these bugs are temporary because I really liked iOS 5 and on paper iOS 6 seems so much better but bugs are just ruining the experience.

Ios 6.1.3 WIFI problem

Hi! I just got a new Iphone 4s back from repair, a new replacment phone. So I updated the hardware to the new IOS 6.1.3 and after that I cant activate my WIFI, the WIFI button is greyed, so the WIFI is unavailable. So what should I do? Send my 3days old Iphone to service agian or what? I personaly think it the new IOS 6.1.3 so please help me

Hi,
I sympathise with you as my iPhone 4s is 7 months old and is also greyed out. I tried everthing except the potentially stupid one of putting the iphone in a freezer! I took the phone back to the vendor who sent it away and repaired it. But alas after a month it is greyed out again. I have again returned to the vendor and he will repair it again. I asked him how and he told me it is a software conflict and he has to spend around 9 hours downloading a patch repair. Apple are aware of this issue and I feel completely let down because they have not posted a fix on the net. Presently I am living and working in Dubai, back in the UK I am sure my iPhone would have been exchanged for a new one. I need my iPhone for my work and cannot afford to just buy a new one so I have been let down and despite for years being a supporter of Apple and their products I shall think twice before investing in any more Apple products.
