IPad and iPhone issues with 1242AP

Hi,
We have a 1242 AP (b/g and a) installed at a customer site where they would like to use iPads and iPhones along with laptop PC's for wireless LAN and internet access. We've tried getting these devices to connect and are having problems.  Laptops using b/g radios are having no such issues.
I've read about the iPads having problems when trying to connect to APs that support mixed modes (b/g, n).  Does anyone have any experience with regard to solving this issue?  Should we turn off all the g radio settings in order to force the AP and iPad to connect using the b radio standard?  Also, since the iPad doc states that it has support for the "a" radio standard, could we solve the problem with regard to the iPads by turning on the 5 ghz "a" radio in the AP?  Right now it is off.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

My understanding is that when the Apple Devices like iPad, iTouch, iPhone go into sleep mode they actually shutdown the WiFi radio interface which causes the device to obviously disconnect from the wireless and then the user idle timeout on the controller kicks the user off the network. Then when the device comes out of sleep it has to re-enable the radios, then search for networks, then reconnect, and then go thru the authentication process and some time it fails or can get blocked as a result of too many reauthentications.  So I generally turn off the exclude client option to minimize the occurance of this.  This maynot be the case but it's what i have experienced with them.
Hope this help... Please rate useful posts.
Thanks,
Kayle

  • 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.

  • How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

    I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD  also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

    Hola amigo
    If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
    However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

  • How to get pages docs created on a macpro to show up on iPad and iPhone both with ios5

    Yesterday (October 19, 2011) I updated to the latest OS's and pages app on my macpro and ipad2 and iphone3gs. When I create a pages doc on the macpro and save it I do not see it appear on the ipad2 and iphone3gs at all including within the pages docs window. Yet my iCalendar updates beautifully across all three devices. My question is what are the steps to get a pages doc created on a macpro to "automatically" become available and thereon update automatically in pages on my ipad and iphone?

    on Mac OS X there is no icloud enabled apps at this time. iWork09 for Mac wont sync your data to iCloud.
    To get documents to the cloud and thus to your IOS5 devices you need to visit www.icloud.com/iwork and manually upload your files  ( or use drag and drop from Mac Desktop to the browser ).
    This is no joke. Spreaded all over this support forums you find people that wondered how to do it until it was found out that iwork syncing is only enabled on iOS but not on OSX.

  • Sync between iPad and iPhone stopped with iPhone5

    Since I upgraded to an iPhone5, my new iPad mini and the phone don't sync email. I noticed that the iPad uses the me.com address for my account while the phone transferred the old mac.com address which has been in all my phones. Could this be the reason? All tabs are turned on for syncing...help?

    Good idea but it didn't work. My iPad still can't see imap messages sent from iphone and now contacts made or modified on phone not visible there either. Both are set to sync with icloud. I'll try rebooting both...

    If your device is frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Upgraded to TimeCapsule and now issues with AirPrint from iPhone and iPad

    Okay.  I bought a HP 210a air print printer.  It was working great with my Linksys router and my iPad and iPhone worked with it perfectly.  Since that time I have recently bought a new new 2TB Time Capsule and just recently set it up.  The old router is no longer hooked up.  Since switching over to the new router, nothing prints from the iPhone or iPad.  So here are the details and I am hoping I am just missing a step:
    1.  I think it is important to point this part out.  After setting up the new router, and before discovering any of this, I turned on the HP printer.  Upon doing so, the printer informed me a software update was available from HP so I downloaded it and it appeared everything was fine.
    2.  After the update, I tried printing and nothing.  Duh, the printer was still looking for the old router.  I ran the built in HP wireless setup wizard on the printer and it pointed to the new router fine.  I tested the connection using the test feature on the printer, and it printed a report that all was fine and that it was now pointed at the Time Capsule, great signal, etc...
    3.  I went to my iPhone and iPad, made sure they were pointed at the same network as the printer, and once again the printer appeared on each device as an AirPrint printer.  Great I thought, so printed a  test a page from each device.  Both pages printed.  Now here is where it gets weird.
    4.  I tried to print a second document from the iPad and iPhone, nothing.  I tried a picture.  Nothing.  It still shows eveything setup correctly, the HP shows as the AirPrint printer and connected, but no matter what I do, it nothing is printing from either device.  I've tried resetting my network settings on the iPhone and iPad and pointing to the network again, re-running the HP setup Wizard on the printer.  They all show that everything is fine.  The iPhone and iPad connect to the network fine, both show the printer when I go to print.  However, after I hit the "print" button on either device, it shows like the document is being sent but NOTHING happens on the HP.  It is very frustrating. 
    The WiFi is working fine, I can surf, email, etc... so the router is working properly.  So what am I missing?  Could the HP update somehow have caused the problem?  I have to believe that between the update and the new router that somewhere I am missing a step.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
    Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
    Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
    Turn the i-devices on.
    Try to print again.
    Let me know if this helps!

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • Updating iPad and iPhone apps

    When these devices first appeared, I went crazy and bought and downloaded scores of apps. I use very few of them now.
    However, I receive constant reminders in iTunes that I have 20, 30 - even 50 apps that have updates ready.
    There is little point in updating apps that I do not use.
    Is there any way of culling the unused apps and parking them somewhere on the home computer so that they no longer appear on the mobile device and no longer provoke update reminders?
    Who knows whether I may decide to reconsider some of them later. I do not wish to delete them and have to buy them a second time.

    When connected to your computer's iTunes you should be able to do File > Transfer Purchases to copy any iTunes and App Store content over to your computer that isn't already on there. You can then delete them from your iPad :
    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    Also as long as the apps remain available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . Plus there is the iCloud

  • Email issues with iPad and iPhone together

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4 and just got an iPad with wifi+3G. When I set up my iPad for email, I started getting email on the iPad ok, but I stopped getting new email on my iPhone. I want email to be received in both places.
    I had been receiving email on my iPhone and my desktop through Mac mail just fine, in both places. I set up my iPad the same way I set up my iPhone:
    Fetch new data set to push, using imap for incoming and smtp for outgoing.
    My iPhone is giving the alert that new mail has arrived, as in the little red number pops up over the mail icon, but no new mail is showing in my inbox.
    How do I receive mail on both my iPad and iPhone?

    I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
    Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Reset as before i.e. press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
