Ipad 2 wifi issues

Hi
I'm having problems with the wifi on my ipad 2, for the ipad to connect to the router i have to place it directly next to my router and it will connect with no problems but trying to connect to the router more then 1 metre away from the router the ipad doesn't find the router at all. This being my first ipad I just thought it was the way they are only for my brother to bring his ipad 1 to my house his ipad not only connects instantly to my router from anywhere in the house but also finds another 5 wifi connections. If I was to use my ipad upstairs in the room directly above the router it will stay connected for about 5 minutes and loses connection and I have to go down stairs and place the ipad2 next to the router for it to connect again where as my brother slept in the bedroom furthest away from the router and found the router and connected straight away and stays connected!
Is there something different in the way the ipad2 has been built or do you think I have a problem with my ipad?
I would appreciate your thoughts and comments.
Thanks
Gary

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 WiFi Issues are an Apple Problem

It seems clear many are having WiFi issues. While there are some suggestions involving changes to routers, these in general are at best temporary work arounds.
1. Not everyone has any ability to change things about the router they connect with.
2. The iPad is supposed to be state of the art gear. Given that, it should be able to work at least as well as a year old laptop in the same location. If it can’t, then it had a problem Apple needs to address.
3. Not every user is a techie, so the long term solution is that Apple needs to fix the iPad to work correctly out of the box. It CANNOT require users to fiddle with routers and firmware concepts.
The best thing Apple can do now is to first admit there appears an issue here and say they plan to address it ASAP.
Ed

I understand completely and sympathise with your frustration, however this is certainly atypical of Apple.
Bear in mind these forums are the equivalent of a hospital, and as such its full of sick people who come here to get well. Just because most people here are sick, doesn't mean everyone else outside is sick as well.
Yes there are problems but your solutions/suggestions which overall are correct (its Apple to solve) I think you have too simplistic an approach viz;
1. Apple cannot stick to Open Standards if routers are not kept up to date - thats not an Apple problem. the world moves on and there is no reason why the 'bleeding edge' should be held back by dead wood or out of date firmware.
2. Agree wholeheartedy, and bear in mind the hospital analogy - 300,000 units sold on the first day and NOT 30,000 or even 3,000 people here with problems. most problems are 'how do I...'
3. We will have to disagree here - sometimes users just have to accept they need to do things and learn. If they cannot understand how wireless works, its not entirely the manufacturers problem to teach them how to set one up.
I don't really disagree much with most of what you say, but speeches are not going to accomplish much, if anything . It just distracts us helpers from solving issues.
I do agree there is a wireless issue and I have my own views on what the problem is but jumping on a thread and shouting won't solve it so I keep it to myself.
Thats all.

Apple TV & iPad wifi issues

This afternoon my Apple TV lost its connection to my wifi network and I haven't been able to get it back since. I've re-entered my password dozens of times and it either tells me my password is incorrect or that there is a problem connecting to the network.
What's strange is that my computer and my iPhone are still getting great wifi coverage on the same network.
This is also a problem I've also had for the last year on my iPad. Every now and then it just drops the connection and I can't get it back, even though my iPhone and computer are getting full bars. The only thing that seems to help is to wait a day or two and then the problem seems to go away until the next time it happens.
Could there be a problem with both my iPad and Apple TV, or could it be my Airport Express, which I'm using as a base station?
To try to fix the problem today, I tried the following:
- updated my Airport Express firmware
- power cycled my Apple TV, router and Airport Express three times
- changed my Airport Express channel to 11
for a moment about an hour ago my Apple TV was able to connect to my base station, but then it lost the connection.
I should say, my Apple TV and my iPad for the matter, can always see my network, they just don't always connect when I enter in my password.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem may be?

Hello Tvsteven,
Thank you for providing all the details regarding the Wi-Fi connection issue you are experiencing with your Apple TV. I found an article with some steps you can take to troubleshoot an issue like this.
I recommend reviewing the full article, but the section titled "If you can see your Wi-Fi network, but you are unable to connect to it" specifically stands out to me for the situation you described:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

IPad WIFI Issue similar to iPhone one that has gone unaddressed

Users have been heavily pushing concern over WIFI disconnecting/invisibility behavior on the iPhone and that has gone without response from Apple for months. One wonders if they are dealing with the same issue on the iPad.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1648395&tstart=0
~ M.

Note the word similar and not identical in the title folks...
iMac 24", MacBook Air, Macbook all connected to a Time Capsule and flakey WIFI happens off and on with my iPhone and my wife's iPhone. You can also see that many other users have that same experience and like the iPad it manifests itself with low bars, failed to find network, failed to connect to network, invalid password messages, etc...also consistent with what people are reporting on the iPhone.

IPad WiFi issue with T-Mobile & DeepBlueWireless

Hi,
both, the WiFi-only and the 3G model definitely have an issue with at least the above mentioned two WiFi Hotspot suppliers.
I'm currently on vacation in California and neither of the two WiFis work with the iPad. The both work fine with our iPhones and with our MacBook. But not with our iPads.
Symptom: getting the necessary IP addresses from the DHCP server works fine. After that the Hotspot web pages come in fine, too. However, clicking on the "Log In" button doesn't work anymore. Nothing happens. After a while, even the "Cancel" or back buttons don't work and the web content isn't movable with a finger. Only the iPad's Home button helps.
It's reproducable all the time.
After 1/2 hour on the phone with the DeepBlueWireless support they said I have to talk to Apple. T-Mobile answered very quickly on Twitter but they couldn't help either and said they don't support the iPad because they don't have it (AT&T has it here in the US).
Apple seems to point to the WiFi provider and their router settings. However, this fingerpointig doesn't help me, the customer.
I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do about that problem. Either Apple releases a new OS 3.2.1 with a fix for that problem or the WiFi providers like T-Mobile tweak their router settings to make them compatible with Apple's specifications. Both can last long.
Bad for the customer!
Anyone else having these problems?

Thx for the tips. However, my experience is that Apple has a huge problem here (which they already kind of admitted).
During our 3 weeks vacation I was almost NEVER able to connect to the WiFi networks the hotels provided. Be it T-Mobile or other suppliers it's always the same problem. The technical connection with the network works (the iPad gets IP addresses, those networks are open and need no WEP/WPA/WPA2 password). But when the Login page from the access point appears, after entering username & password and pressing the Login button, nothing happens anymore. Especially the indeterminate progress indicator in the status bar doesn't start whirling and the Login page becomes unresponsive. Even the Cancel button from the iPhone OS (not on the HTML Login page) doesn't work, I have to press the iPad's Home button.
None of the known workarounds worked (display brightness etc.)
Waiting for the firmware update ...

Ipad wifi issues. Someone help!!!

Hi,
The maximum download seed I get from my iPad mini retina is almost half that of my iPhone and macbook. My ISP gives me 60mbps internet, however i only get around 30-40 on my macbook air and iPhone 5c and this tends to fluctuate to lows of 10. But on my iPad I only get around 10-15 average this can go up to 40 but rarely does.
I know my wi-fi router is the bottleneck as always get 60mbps download when on ethernet. It is a stock CBN cable modem router literally in the same room as where i use my iPad, and I also live in a building with 15 other routers from the same ISP running on 2.4ghz. Could it be interference or compatibility issue with the router and the iPad?
All software has been updated.
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated

1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
Hope this helps

IPad Wifi issue

Hi everybody,
Never tried this Forum and thought to give it a go...because,
I still have a problem to connect to the internet with my iPad after the update to 4.2.1 (had the same issues with the previous system)
I am working in Ethiopia and use a USB-Dongle to establish the internet connection with my MacBook Pro and share the connection (System Preferences/Sharing/Internet Sharing) and it works perfectly well with my iPhone4 and colleagues computers and iPhones.
My iPad however finds the network and has a good signal but as soon as I try to open the internet I have a window opening telling me I don't have internet access. Anybody has the same or a similar problem?
Have tried to reset the network settings on the iPad, restarted it, created various networks with and without password restriction, removed and reinstalled the USB-Dongel but nothing worked.
Anybody any ideas or advice?

I have just received an IPAD. I must confess that it is the most frustrating piece of equipment I have ever interfaced with. After reading all the people comments and tricks and tried probably most of them I am now tired of reseting the equipment. Is there no way we can have the product specialists involved to deal with the wireless issue. Or id it a bug. I have a billion router and have loaded the new operating system and hoped that it would deal with the wireless issue. But this was just wishfull thinking. It sees and connect to the wireless network but I am unable to access the internet!!!! I am very frustrated. If someone can provide me with a logical approach I would appreciate it. Most of the time it seems to be trial and error (WHen I downloaded the manual only to find that its broken!!!!

My iPad's WiFi issue

Hello all,
I purchased a 16GB iPad this last sunday, and I love it. There's only one problem, and I don't believe it's the same as the other iPad WiFi issues.
My iPad will randomly disconnect from wireless networks, but when randomly disconnecting, it causes the router it's connected to to drop all wireless connections. At my girlfriend's house, it'll knock her PC and my MacBook Pro off the wireless network if my iPad loses the connection. Which is troublesome.
It does the same exact thing at my house. It'll drop all the wireless connections at my house if my iPad suddenly disconnects.
Anyone know what's causing this? I've tried this with a WPA network and an unsecured network, with the same results.
Thanks in advance.

Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

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

Why is apple releasing the ipad4 witha new and inproved wifi attena without addressing the wifi issue in the ipad3

Jim Level 5 person ....I am very happy for you that your usage will not be affected, please accept my congratulations.
Now I have to point out that going ballistic has certain connotations but posting on an internet forum is not one of them.
I appear to be one of thousands who are all expressing their outrage in a rational and intelligent manner which cannot be said for your lebvel 4 + collegues on this forum.
Finally there has been an ongoing issue wiith the iPad 3 Wifi on certain wifi only models , I have not encountered it and it seems clear neither have you. That of course does not discount the fact that many others have experienced this issue , an issue which may reveal itself to you or I in the future particularly as I have only been using mine for a fortnight.
The following is a relevant link for your information :

IPad WiFi continually dropping, but iPhones work

I need to connect to a particular corporate WiFi network.
I have an iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad3 and an iPad2. All are running iOS v6.1.3. All are configured identically for WiFi access to this corporate network.
Both of the phones connect reliably to the network, and both of the iPads connect, but continually drop out to the point that the service is useless.
I have tried everything I could find on the web (Forget this network, turn WiFi off and on, reset network settings, hard reset, etc.).
Is this a known bug?

Try #5.
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

Dear APPLE, What's Really GOING ON?!?!?! (wifi issues)

Dear appl
I'm in a WiFi trouble here!! actually Troubles with WiFi on my iPad
* my wifi connects on every wireless network fine BUT:
1- my wifi works in every network EXCEPT my MiFi Novatel It disconnects after 5 / 10 mins sometimes hour, I have to reset the password, and when I change the ipad handling and flip it in different angles it connects back !!!!
2- My iPad, even with the networks that doesnt disconnect, not like the my MiFi Novatel, sometimes like when I wait for pictures to load on website, they (the pics) get stuck a little bit and doesnt load UNTIL I FLIP THE IPAD , I change the handling, sometimes even websites dont open until I change the handling!!
I also Updated yesterday my iPad to 3.2.2 , and NO, It doesnt solve the problem!
What's going on here? Is there a technical issue ? or something like that ? and when I went to the iCity official store in my country, the supporter talked to me like I'm lying or I'm a (NOOB)! he says No no no it works fine ( he didnt even see the ipad, and I think he never heard of the iPad wifi issues at all that even Apple official web admitted ) and he says that my problem is with the settings of my MiFi, Well ok ! I hope so! But HELP? and BTW , I have tried changing the pass encryption to WEP WPA and all with my MiFi Novatel, didnt work !
I'm in alot of trouble, Spent more than 500$ over a Disconnecting constantly tablet and even with good wireless networks lets say my mifi ***** but other networks sometimes I have to flip it to load webs, hello, The iPad is AWWWWESOME! but I seriously cant take this ?????
Help !
1- mifi solutions ?
2- whats with the flip sometimes to get the connection Speeder / or get it back If I'm using the MiFi?

I had what sounds like a very similar issues and figured out fix.
On your router, try setting the encryption to wpa. There is an option for Auto that switches between AES and TKIP. Choose AES only.
Choose Forget on the iPad or iPhone (or both, depending on which you have). You will also find that you will have to delete the network on your home computer and other devices that access it as the new encryption settings won't match the new router settings. You will be prompted for the password. After weeks of grief, this managed to work for me. Hope it does for you too. I was about to do he discus toss with my iPad before I got here!
