IPad 3, iOS 5.1.1, wifi issues- just today

I have an iPad 3 running on ios5.1.1
Yesterday I synced it to my computer to renew my backups.
Today i arrived from work and went on the iPad to find out that i cannot load any pages that uses internet, like Safari, i cannot open pages at all.
I can see that the wifi is being dropped and connected to repeatedly. I turned off wifi for a minute and turned it on, tried to connect to my router and its taking a long time to connect, sometimes never connecting at all.
I have done the following:
Rebooted iPad(press sleep>slide>...>press in to turn on)
Turned wifi on and off
Rebooted my router(6x)
Disconnected all wired and wireless devices that were connected to the router.
Connected to my iPhone 5's 'Personal Hotspot'= I was able to open pages on Safari.
Is there anybody out here that is having same problem as me?
Whats wrong with it?
What should i do?

go into your router manager:
type 192.168.0.1 into your browser,
log in as the administrator (default is usernamer=admin; password=password)
you should find a "check for upgrades" or something similar and follow the instructions

    I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

    If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

  • IPad iOS 8.0.2 WiFi issues and mitigation

    So, I've been having lots of issues with WiFi connectivity and my iPad Air ever since updating from iOS 7.1.2 to 8.0.2, and it sounds like I'm not alone.  I've verified that the issue is not local to my home WiFi network (I can reproduce the issue on other WiFi networks) and I've preformed a fresh install of iOS 8.0.2, which did not help.
    This *****, but until a fix comes out I've found the following procedures seem to get me back on the network....at least for a while.
    1). A Reset:
    http://www.imore.com/how-restart-or-reset-your-iphone-or-ipad
    2.)  Disabling the Wi-Fi Networking services:
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/09/fix-ios-8-wifi-problems.html
    Neither of these will fix the issue for long, but both have seemed to work for a while.

    Don't do it. I updated my iPod touch 5th Generation to ios 8.0.2 and it will keep dropping wifi, and safari has lots of bugs. I suggest waiting to 8.0.3 where we shall see if the update fixes wifi issues for real.
    Hope this helps

  • Ipad mini (iOS 6.0.2) wifi fixes don't work

    please don't reply to this with the fixes that are already posted a zillion times in these forums.  they aren't working for me (and it looks like a lot of other people).  my question is what to do once we're beyond all those.  i received an ipad mini for xmas, and it's running iOS 6.0.2, which is supposedly better than its predecessor (how that can be, i'm not sure).  i love this device enough to continue to put up with the issues, so returning it is not an option.  however, i'm hopeful that someone out there has talked to a mac genius and discovered some trick to keep the wifi connected for longer than a second or two intermittently. 
    if that's not the case, then when can we expect 6.0.3 or 6.1 to actually resolve the issue?  or (gulp...) is it hardware related?
    thanks,
    Michael

    Since the vast majority of iPad mini users are not having WiFi problems then, if you are having consistent WiFi problems on all networks, you very likely have a hardware problem with your iPad mini. This probably cannot be fixed by any iOS software update. The iOS 6.0.2 software fix likely was for a bug that only showed up with certain access points or network configurations. The only way to get your problem fixed is to get your iPad mini replaced by Apple. The fastest way to do this is via the Apple store but you can also arrange for replacement if you contact Apple support.

  • IOS 6.0.1 WiFi Issue

    Ugh, after updating my iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1 I thought that bugs like WiFI problem will be fixed , but I was so Disappointed that its not yet fixed. After a minute of standby mode of the iPad ,WiFi is turning off and then. When I wake it up, WiFi is off but later In a second wifi will turn on. C'mon apple...

    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

  • Ios 6.1.2 wifi issues

    I am using iphone 4s for about 14 months now. i have never faced wifi issues before updating to ios 6.1.2. But now  i am not  staying connected to wifi for long time. I dont know whether i m alone in this world to face such an issue. Please help fix this issue to the earliest.
    It's very disappointing to know that apple is ignoring such issues from its customers & even rolling back to back new software versions without even checking it to the fullest. And on top of that the apple customer care people are saying its a hardware problem. I think they are ignoring the fact of software issues with ios 6.1.2. especially with WIFI.
    Please reply if anybody face such issues.and possible solution for it.

    I've been having the same wifi dropouts on ios 6.1.2. I never have had this issue before, and it is very frustrating. It makes me wish I had never upgraded. I am not having this issue with my other wifi devices (PCs, Macs, Android phones, Roku, Wii, Apple TV), so I know it is not a router issue. Is Apple working on a fix?
    One hard lesson that I learned is that I will never rush into any future ios updates again. I have tried all of the fixes that I could find online to no avail :-(
    Oh, excuse me. I was just prompted again to rejoin my dropped wifi connection.

  • Updating iPad to iOS 5.0 via wifi

    How can I update my iPad to iOS 5.0 software via wifi not computer

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • Does ios 6.1.3 wifi issues get solved in next update?

    Has anyone solved their wifi issues after new update of ios ? Coz i am having wifi issues since i updated my iphone 4s to 6.1.2 . I dont think it is a hardware failure... I have tried resetting my iphone as new device. I have checked my router settings which is a netgear make.
    Please help if new software updates help solve this problem? I have updated this from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 but unfortunately  the problem persisted after updating my device to latest ios running. I guess many are having same issues. GUYS WE MUST DO SOMETHING SO THAT APPLE LISTENS US ATLEAST.

    I'm having the same issue since 6.1.2. I worked throught the various checklists and nothing has worked. What I have noticed is most of the 'fixes' require me to do someithing with my home router. I don't understand that as I use my phone as a hotspot or internet connection while I'm away from home and on 3G. That part doesn't make sense.
    When the phone is connected it is recognized in iTunes but not in the System Preferences Network Settings page.
    I used to connect my phone to my Mac via USB and opt to use the USB Only option for HotSpot with the Mac WIFI off. The blue bar on the phone comes on indicating that HotSpot is working. It has worked for me like that until 6.1.2. Since then the USB Only option does not work and I have to use WIFI on both the phone and the Mac. If I'm lucky, I get a connection and can get my mail and do some surfing before it drops the connection. The blue bar that comes up on the phone is there indicating the hotspot is on, but the connection is lost. A dozen or so resets, of either my Mac or my phone, later and I might get a connection again. That's no way to do business.
    All I did was update the phone when it told me there was an update available. Did I miss something?

  • I downloaded IOS 6 on both my iphone and ipad. Both are having severe wifi issues. Most of the time it will not connect.

    Since installing IOS 6 on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, my wifi only works sporadically. If I reboot, it will work a while. Definitely did not have a problem until IOS 6. This needs to be fixed promptly so that users are not charged more by their carriers for not using wifi.

    I for one at least am not experiencing Wi-Fi dropping on iOS 6.
    Try this..
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may need to enter your network password.
    Then restart the devices.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    And try turning off your router for about 5 minutes, turn it back on.

  • IOS 6.1.2 WIFI Issue with Iphone 4s

    SInce I updated my phone to ios 6.1.2 my wifi gets dropped or the button itself gets greyed out. I dont know what to do. Shuld wait for ios 6.1.3 or what?
    This is the first time i am facing such an issue.  Apple customer care is also not able to solve the issue? Why every now and then this happens with apple device ?
    Does apple takes its users for granted by releasing its software without having proper checks?
    However it is quite surprising to know that my Ipad 4th Generation is working fine with 6.1.2. software.
    Please help if anyone knows the solution.

    Go to settings, reset, reset network settings. As the other suggestion said.
    If its greyed out here is a link below.

  • My macbook pro and iphone4 after newest ios update has had wifi issues, very very snail pace slow

    um i recently last week? updated my macbook pro and my iphone 4 to lastest ios, and ever since then my wifi has been slow,
    by this i mean, when i click anything, it takes a long long time to load a page, and even my facebook (arrived via bookmarks bar) so i load the same way as before, page often loads imcomplete, or not at all, on my iphone its so bad i cant even check my email, or the weather app, but on my ipod4, it works fine, cuz i have not updated the ios on the ipod touch 4th gen
    is anyone else having these issues? so far ive been able to confirm (via xbox 360) that wifi signal is fine, strong and normal..... did apple screw up my devices? and if so? please tell me how i fix this, streaming my weekly 13 episodes of tv shows is now like dead slow, with every 5-8 seconds of video watching, theres another 30-40 seconds of SPINNING circle... i am so fed up
    im a creature of habit, ive not changed the way i do things, the location of my computer, nothing, everything is as it was 2 weeks ago.... some-buddy help!?

    I refer you to the TM expert
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
    As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
    Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

  • I upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS 5.1 and wifi no longer works.

    This is the weirdest problem.  I can see the networks available.  I appear to connect to them, and can see signal strength bars.  When I try to use that connection, nothing works.  I can't access URLs through safari, I can't get to YouTube or iTunes, I can't download email ... nothing.  I've tried this on multiple networks and all are the same.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix ... Or a way to revert to 5.0.1? 
    BTW, 3G works just fine, but I have to disable wifi in order to drop back into 3G mode.

    I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago.  But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes.  So it wiped out everything on my iPad.  But it did work.  Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine.  Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

  • IOS 5.1.1 wifi issues, well anything internet related!

    After upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 Facebook won't check in or post, Safari just cycles, tried restore to no avail, seems most applications even though connected to wifi just cycle, so far....so rubbish!  Any assistance appreciated?

    Well when I did it, it was for ios 6.1.2, but I found a guy who knows how to the ios issues, is a grey out or the same as my first message? I know how to fix it.  Back to ios 6.1.2, all I did was go into my wifi clicked on the wifi I used and scroll down your find dns all I did was delete what was in there and hit the wifi bitten taking me back to all the wifis  and went back into my wifi again the dns went back to the original dns. But it glitches the system and you can use the wifi once more.
