IPad forgets wireless network

We have a wireless network setup where the SSID is not visible and we use WPA-PSK for security. It's a very long key, but once it's entered, you have access. If I leave the office and connect at a place like a hotel or coffee shop, when I get back to the office the previous wireless network has to be setup again. Am I missing something in the setup to get it to retain the information?

To access the wifi in the school, each person must login with their own login and password. Each teacher and student has their own login and password.
No matter what school I go to in the region, the iPad will recognize the wireless and automatically login me in.
We are introducing 15 iPads into my classroom to be used by 5 different classes over the course of the day. When the first student get his iPad, he will log in to the wireless with his unique login and password.
At the end of the period, is there an easy way to take the iPad off the wifi network and 'forget' the login/password of the first student so that the second student can then login with their unique password?
Otherwise, there will be 75 students all surfing the 'net under my identity.
Thanks for the help.

IPad and wireless network accounts

In our school, students connect to the wifi with a personal login and password to track usage. How can I get the iPad to disconnect and 'forget' the last users account info?

OS X 10.5.5 always forgets Wireless network after bootcamp reboot

I have my network preferences set to "remember network", but every time I reboot from bootcamp to go back to "Mac Mode", I have to re-enter my SSID, security type and passphrase.
The wireless router does not broadcast the SSID. Is that why network restart says it's not there? Since it supposedly "remembered" my preferred network, why doesn't it just try to connect anyway? When I reboot to Windows mode, I have no such problem, it's only returning to Mac OS X.
It's a PITA, and then I always have to adjust my system time because it's off by the UTC-offset amount.

After reading some other threads, I removed "System Preferences" from the dock and now it works!
I read that some other people moved System Preferences from Applications to Utilities, and undoing that solved the problem. I did not move System Preferences, but I did not put it on the dock. Removing it from the dock seems to have solved it. Go figure.
Now, problem number two... the time doesn't get set properly until I select "Open Date & Time..." then it corrects, just by opening that.. I don't have to do anything else.

10.5.2 - Still Can't Remember Wireless Network.

I've had this problem way prior to 10.5.2. Leopard intermittently remembers/forgets wireless networks I have joined.
It seems the latest update has not corrected this.
Have tried dumping keychain network accesses repeatedly but still no go.
Anyone else having this problem?

I also have the same problem even with an Apple Airport Extreme. This happened after I installed Leopard the first time on top of Tiger. This should not be happening! Please someone at Apple help us out because this is a major concern and bug. We should at least know how to be able to reset the wireless networks.

IPad getting kicked off wireless network

i have a user that her IPad is constantly getting kicked off the wireless. If it matters, her IPad is running OS5.
I'm getting the following from my AP controller:
the part in red is confusing me.

has anyone come across this and what can i do about it?
Thanks, Gary

If the iPad is bouncing between the networks, than that is likely an issue with the iPad wireless supplicant behavior. The error message in red above is likely due to the device switching with fast-ssid change disabled.
So, if we are more concerned with why the device keeps moving between networks, we should capture a bit more data. Running a longer client debug should give us some additional data points.
I've seen similar behavior with Apple devices when they "Remember" wifi networks -- sometimes you need to "Forget" other networks in the area to stop the device from associating to it automatically.
Also, version of WLC code are you running?

My iPad cannot join a free wireless network, my colleague's iPad can join ok though

I get an error message "unable to join network". This is free wireless network at work for us and visitors, the iPad can detect the wireless connection and even shows its name but when I try to connect to it, the error message says I can't join the network. I tried resetting the network settings, hard rebooting it but no luck.
Wifi settings have not changed at all, I was able to use this wireless connection before but now can't. Some of my colleagues who also have iPads can connect to it right away. Have you ever had a similar problem, if so, have you been able to fix it?. Thanks.

Occasionally it happens to me. Go to Settings/WiFi and touch the ">" at the right hand side of the network that you're attempting to access. Then, touch "Forget this network" and try again.

My wireless network seems to 'reject' my iPad?

I have had my iPad 2 (not 3G) for sometime now and the wireless connectivity has traditionally been fine. However, for some reason, I can no longer connect my iPad 2 to my wireless network at home, to browse the internet, etc.
I cannot pinpoint when this happened exactly... I can connect my iPad 2 to other wireless networks no problem, say at a friend's house or even at a cafe, which tells me my iPad 2 seems to be working okay.
Recently I got a new cell phone and it connected no problem to my wireless network at home... it's an LG ShinePlus and set up and connection was flawless. This tells me essentially, that my home wireless network is also fine, too... my cell is also okay in other hotspots as well. Other devices on my home network also seem to be functioning just as they have always been, ex. Wii, wireless printer, iMac.
I've 'reset' the network settings on my iPad 2, rebooted my modem (from my internet/cable provider) and my router... both hardware reboot as well as logging onto the router to do a reboot this way. I've turned the Wi Fi settings switch on and off, and turned the iPad 2 completely off via it's on/off switch for a hard rebbot. iTunes is up-to-date... I'm on System 7 and it is up-to-date.
For whatever reason, my iPad 2 simply can no longer connect to my home wireless network... is it possible for my home network to have my iPad 2 'flagged' or someting? I get that my home wireless network is okay and that the iPad 2 is also okay, but they won't talk to each other. How do I remedy that?
Very frustrating and would love to hear suggestions!
Thanks!

You've already tried everything I would.
I don't know if this will help, but it shouldn't hurt anything. On the iPad, go to Settings-Safari-Clear Cookies and Clear Cache.
One other thing to try is to reset/reboot the iPad. This is slightly different than the reboot you tried. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. This kind of reset will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

HT200028 i want to use my Apple TV while camping using my hot spot on my iPad as my wireless network.

I currently have my Apple TV set up using my wireless network in my home. I plan to use the Apple TV while camping and thinking I should be able to use my Hot Spot on my iPad to display on my TV while camping. What I'm not finding is how to find my network on my iPad? What do I need to do to assign my Hot Spot as a network? Can this be done or do I need a remote router?

So when I connect my ATV to my TV, I turn on my hot spot and go to Netflix. I can get Netflix on my iPad for streaming movies, but it won't share with my TV. The TV is telling me it doesn't recognize my network. When I go to settings, general and network on the TV screen, I'm asked to select a network. If I select other, I don't know what network to use? Does the iPad have a network assigned to it? If so, how do I access?

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my wireless network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to my AirPort? I never have a problem connecting an Apple device (AirBook, iPad, etc).

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my AirPort Express network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to the wireless network? I never have a problem connecting a new Apple product (AirBook, iPad) and even a basic laptop. Thanks for your help.

The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can support up to ten (10) simultaneously connected Wi-Fi clients.

Is there any way to get ipad 2 mirroring (beta ios 5) to work with unicast? The school won't enable multicast for traffic concerns on a many AP wireless network.

I have the iPad 2 mirroring working in my classroom with my own personal wireless router and an apple tv 2. We would like to deploy several iPad 2's to teachers for instruction, all using mirroring. The school district wireless network available throughout the complex has many access points and has multicasting turned off. They are afraid to enable it because of traffic concerns - many wireless devices all sending everything to every AP on the district wireless network. Is there any way to come up with an acceptable solution (unicasting?) that will only route traffic to the devices connected to a single access point on the network (the same one the ipad 2 and apple tv are connected to) without sending it to all the access points on the district wireless network? Short of every teacher having an independent wireless router in each of their rooms (which could still potentially interfere with the district wireless), I don't currently have a solution. I've heard the network guys through around terms like multicasting, unicasting, igmp, etc. I don't want to choke down the district wireless either, but there must be a solution to this. I could easily see 40 teachers in the complex all using iPad 2s mirroring through apple tvs attached to projectors all going on at the same time, but there might only be 3 or 4 on each access point.

IPad 2 can only connect to unsecured Wireless network. It won't connect to my secured network at home or at work

Two days ago my ipad 2 with (wifi only) will not connect to my secured network even though it show's up as available with a strong signal. It keeps rejecting my password. I brought the Ipad to work and the same issue. However I am able to connect to an unsecured wireless network with no issue. Is this a network/router issue or an ipad issue? If it's a network issue what is the fix? calling my internet provider to change router settings?

- I've used the correct pw (it worked till 2 days ago)
- I use road runner from Time warner, not sure of the mac address filtering
-Security is WPA PSK.
I called road runner to request they remove my pw and see if i can access my wireless if that works which i believe it will then it has to be a security issue. I'm using a 802.11n wifi access point, if that means anything.

Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)
