IPad 2 wont stay connected to wifi after iOS 6 update

Since my latest update a few weeks ago, my ipad wont stay connected to wifi networks. Has anyone found a solution to this? Why would the latest update have impacted this function?

I tried the suggestion, from another post, to reset the network settings and that did not work.

It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

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.

Can no longer connect to WiFi after IOS 7 update

I own a small hotel. After updating to the new IOS, no one can connect to the WiFi network on their iPads or iPhones.
Help!

Too little info here to work with however ...
1. Go to SETTINGS on your iphone, then to WI-FI
2. Can you see any networks listed? If not, then you have a problem with your Wireless Router. Reset it and see if it appears.
3. If you can see the wireless network, try to connect to it manually. If this works, then off you go. If not, then you need to tell me what wireless router it is before we can go much further. Also, are any other devices connecting successfully (ie: pre-iOS 7 handsets, Macs or PCs)?

IPhone 4s can't connect to wifi after iOs 8.1.1

So yesterday I updated my iPhone 4s to iOs 8.1.1 and now it seems like it doesn't connect to wifi anymore. It shows the wifi-icon on the system tray, and when I go into settings/Wifi/*Network* it shows all the correct data. I already tested it on 3 different networks, and all the same problem. I just drains my cellular instead :/
I already tried hard reset and network settings reset

I have iphone 4s with upgrad to 8.1.1, coudn't connect to App Store. Each time I put password in utilities screen it would disappear.
I don't know which part worked but I cleared the safari history and cookies and enable location and it worked.

IPod 2 can't stay connected to wifi after iOS6

I download iOS6, worked fine for a few hours. Went out to eat, came home and now it cant stay connected to the wifi. I have rebooted my wifi and my ipod already. It will connect and a few seconds disconnect and bring us a strange brower Apple page that says "hmmm the page you're looking fopr cant be found"
Please help! I have no way to connec it to the internet now

Have you tried connecting to other WiFi connections? If so does it do the same?
If not, it might just be to do with the amount of periphirals on your current router and subsequently your router is kicking off you iPhone.
Or you could try changing your broadcasting channel in your internet router settings and see if this fixes it

TS1398 Iphone 4s will not stay connected to wifi after update

I can see my network, it connects for a few seconds and then disconnects. This started after the update. I have tried reseting the router, the phone..............everything 100X.
All my other devices work fine and other types of phones can connect to my network. It's a specific problem wth this phone.

Hello Danielle,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Computer wont stay connected to wifi, other Macs connect fine

Just got AT&T cable and internet service. The wifi works great on everything but my iMac, my partners iMac flys. Mine will sometimes and then for no reason it will kick me out and start looking for networks.

What Version of the OS are you running? I know they had issues with 10.7.4 and WiFi Connectivity.
Check for software updates by clicking on  and then Software Update.

Cant connect to wifi since ios update

Once again following ios update I have lost the ability to connect to the internet via wifi!! i have tried every sort of restore going and is still not working, i am having to pay fpr mobile data in order to sue my ipad, how do i get this sorted and the cost of my data refunded , am seriously fed up with apple!!

Does it close immediately when opening or only when attempting to upload the files?
If the former, try downloading any new app (free or paid) from the app store.
If the later, contact whomever provides support for QuickOffice.

LG G3 cant connect to wifi after Lollipop update

After getting the update a couple days ago, I have not been able to connect to my WiFi. Had no issues prior to the update. I have done everything Ive read online, with no success. I am assuming this is one of the many Lollipop bugs? Has there been a fix discovered yet? Obviously this is a big issue as I don't want to use my data. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I can connect to wifi, but it is so slow as to be unusable. I contacted Verizon via Chat and they sent me here. They also said, " I do show we are currently investigating that issue."
Hopefully, an update will be coming soon. I do not want to go through the hassle of a factory reset, especially considering what I have read from those that did and are still having problems.

IPad Mini wont stay connected to wifi.

I've had my iPad Mini for almost a year and have never had this problem until about a month ago. When I wake my iPad, I have to reconnect to my wifi network. How can I fix this?

Try to reset network settings on your iPad: Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings and reconnect to the wifi and test it. If that doesnt work, try to restart your router by unplugging it from the wall for about 15 seconds.
Heres the full list of wifi troubleshooting steps:

Can no longer connect to WiFi after iOS 6

After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0 not 2 hours ago, everything seemed fine - for about 30 minutes. I soon lost all connections to my personal WiFi router in my house (both of them, actually). For a short period of time I was not even able to find networks in Settings>Wifi, even when standing next to my modem & routers.
No searches helped online, and Apple apparently doesn't believe in tech support emails, so I tried resetting my network settings. When I did that, it finally showed my 3 home WiFi networks. However, I'm no longer able to connect to them. When I click on one, it will take me to a "Log In" page at www.Apple.com, where it will say "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found" and send me back to the WiFi settings page, and put me on 3G.
This is really starting to get on my nerves, and I understand new OS' can be buggy, but this seems like a bit too major of a screw up to be a simple bug.
Any suggestions? If there's no way to fix it, Apple will have just lost another customer.

Same thing here on all my devices. Basically it seems like there is a web page that the device attempts to connect to confirm internet connectivity after joining a WiFi network which seems to now be a bad link.

My iPad 2 won't connect to wifi after new update

Hello everyone!
I am a new ipad and mac user and I am on vacation. During my vacation I remotely updated my iPad and ever since I can not connect to the hotels wifi. It is one of those that you have to sign in before being able to do anything on the internet. When you go into settings and select a network it will show a check that it is connected but when you go to safari it will not open the login page. This means I can not check my email or do anything that is essential when I am away from my home town. If anyone can help it would be much appriciated!!!!

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (In a hotel, you can't do this.)
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
