IPad and iPhone keeps losing wifi connection.

Hi all,
So I'm having wifi connectivity issues that's rather annoying. On a daily basis, both my iPad 1st gen and my iPhone 4S disconnect from wifi and are then unable to connect until i restart my modem. Normally i would think its my modem acting up but no other device on the network has this problem. (All other devices are wifi also) Both my ipad and iphone are current on iOS updates, 5.1.1 and 6.0 respectively. I've tried restarting both devices as well but it doesn't help. Every morning I wake up and every night I get home they both refuse to connect. The iPad stays at my house while the phone remains with me. Any help/input would be great appreciated. Thanks

Although there might be a deeper rooted issue with the iDevices, I did manage to solve the problem another way, I just forgot to give an update in the discussion.
I read in another forum or discussion that the problem might be my wifi signal. I didnt think so at first because it only happened with my iDevices. So, just to be safe, i purchased a high end router designed for extreme gaming and sure enough.. I havent had a single issue with with my iDevices losing connection. From the very moment i plugged it in...no issues. That was about 3 1/2 months ago. All my devices (Laptop, Xbox, Ps3, wii U, Iphone, and iPad) have Excellent connection at all times except when my modem (not the router i purchased) needs to restarted but thats normal and does not happen very often.
So if youre having any sort of connectivity issues with your WiFi i strongly suggest investing in an good router. I wont ever go without one ever again
Upon request, i will link the one i got, if anyones interested.

Why does my iphone keep losing wifi connection?

last week I upgraded from 3g to Iphone4.   I connected to my home wifi with no problems, but every time I leave the phone for a while, when I come back to it I find that it has dropped the wifi connection. When i try to reconnect, I have to either press the pairing button on the phone every time, or start from scratch and reenter the wep password
My old 3g does not have this problem at all and remains connected all the time.    I called Orange and all they did was send me a replacement Iphone but I am still having exactly the same problem.
As long as am using the phone the connection is fine.   But if I put the phone down and it goes in to "sleep" mode even for a few minutes, the connection drops.
Any ideas please as it's driving me nuts - I'm even thinking of ditching the phone and sticking with my trusty old reliable 3g!
thanks!

The backed up data in this regard for your 3G has nothing whatsoever to do with your 3G not having the same problem. Some of the data in the backup may be corrupt, etc.
What does you have tried resetting everything include?
Does this include resetting network settings on your iPhone 4 and/or include restoring your iPhone 4 as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
Do you connect your iPhone 4 to any other wi-fi network besides your own? If so, does the same occur with every wi-fi network you connect your iPhone 4 with?
In your original post, you said WEP password.
Have you checked the manufacturer's website for your wireless router to see if a firmware update is available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

I have given my iPad and iPhone to my wife, she has synchronized with her Apple ID but it keeps going back to my Apple ID when she tries to purchase something in iTunes. Do I need to deregister the device and register it in her Apple ID?

What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tabs in the App Store apps on the two devices ? If they still show your account id then try tapping on the id and log out of it and your wife can then try logging in with her account.

Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad. I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password. The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Help thanks.

Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help. The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Any help is greatly appreciated.

first step would be reboot
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability

IPad Keeps Losing Wifi Connection??

Hi,
About 2 days ago, my iPad 2 began losing wifi connection. I would have to tap "Forget this network" and then wait a bit and then tap on the network again and type in the password. After that, the iPad would gain wifi again until about 5-20 minutes later, it loses wifi connection AGAIN. Sometimes when I did that it still didn't even work! And it also bothers me because it still has the wifi sign in the top left corner of my ipad screen, even if the wifi connection is not working. This has happened continuously throughout the past 2 days. Sometimes, the wifi would work for a good amount of time before it was gone again, and sometimes it loses connection after like 3 minutes. But all the other electronics in my house are perfectly fine, it's just my iPad 2 that's been doing this.
I tried to tap "forget all network settings" and then restart my ipad, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's the iPad's problem (since all the other electronics work) or if it's the wifi.
Please help! This is very annoying.
(And i have a new update which is 7.1.2, but that's been there for a pretty long time bc I always forget to update it. But I don't think that's the problem.)

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.

IPad and iPhone spontaneously drop WiFi at the same time

This happens every few days. My iPad and iPhone would always spontaneously drop my home WiFi signal at the same time. Then it would connect to it for like 2 seconds and then drop again, and that loop would then continue for a while. Reboot, closing background apps, etc. do not help.
This is very odd because it doesn't happen at school. Both of my devices work fine at school. Does anyone else have this problem on certain networks or is it just I'm unlucky as ****? All of my other devices (laptop, desktop, PS3) work just fine.
Specs
iPhone 5 iOS 8.1, iPad 4th (A6X) gen iOS 8.1

TThis is part of Apples continuity on all of the devices go to settings - FaceTime- iphone cellular calls - off

My iPad and iphone both can't connect to my network. why?

both iPad and iPhone fail to connect to my n etwork. they both 'see' it and ask for password but when i put this in they say they cant connect.Why?

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.

Bluetooth between New iPad and iPhone 4S won't connect

This worked earlier this week (for the purpose of using Keynote Remote on the phone to make a Keynote presentation on the iPad), but yesterday, the iPad and iPhone began to be unable to connect via Bluetooth. I've rebooted both devices a few times. Sometimes they can see each other, but can't connect; other times, they can't see each other at all.
This is for my boss so I am really in need of some help.

It does seem that this isn't possible, but for some reason this reads as though you can use Keynote Remote on your iPhone to control a Keyntoe Presentation on your iPad. I can't get it to work: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3325?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

IPad mini keeps losing wifi connection

Since yesterday my iPad mini keeps losing the wifi connection, especially when playing video on YouTube. Stopping the You Tube app and starting Safari seems to restart it temporarily but only for a short while. I've tried reinstalling the YouTube app, but it then happened playing You Tube via Safari. I've reset my router and deleted all cookies, browsing history and rebooted the iPad. Even done a complete new install of the iPad after the iOS update failed (grrrr) and deleted everything but this issue was happening before the update and after the rebuild.
Any Ideas or help gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Bob

IMac keeps losing Wifi connection

Hello, I'm having an annoying problem where my iMac keeps losing its wifi connection. I've tried many things including messing around with the network preferences and trying an internet range extender. The only thing I can think of is that the distance from my router to my iMac has 4 walls in between, so maybe thats causing the wifi error. The only way to solve this is to disconnect and then reconnect back to the internet. This gets really annoying when I'm watching a video or trying to upload something. Thanks for your help.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 5
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Updated to 6.2.1 and now continuously losing wifi connection and iMessage/FaceTime trouble

I recently updated to 6.2.1 and now I constantly lose wifi connection and I am unable to FaceTime or iMessage the majority of the time... Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

My error yes 6.1.2... I don't believe I have ever backed it up... Lesson learned on that!, and as I tried to reply lost Internet connection yet again!

IPad and iPhone keeps losing wifi connection.
