IPad loses wifi connection when SSID broadcast is disabled

Has anyone experienced this? what is the fix?

Do all the configuring while SSID broadcast is enabled. Make sure the computer connects. And make sure it connects automatically when the network is in range. Once you have established that, turn off the SSID broadcast and see if it is still working.

My iMac loses wif connection when it goes to sleep. How do I correct?

Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

My ipad loses wifi connection every night, why?

My ipad loses wifi connection every night, why?

This is a user forum so no one here would know Apple's plans. By the way the problem may very well not be Apple's.
Even if your router is "new" visit the manufacturer's support web page to see if there is a firmware update for it. Also check to see if there is a support hotline or forum.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router.

IPad loses wifi connection

Why does my iPad lose wi-fi connection while I'm using it? How to fix?

Hello Mewf,
The following article details a number of troubleshooting steps that can help stabilize your WiFi connection.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. 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, see this article for information about firmware updates.
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.

Mac mini loses wifi connection when using vnc....

I currently dont have an aextra keyboard, mouse and monitor so for short term id like to connect remotely to it. I configured the sharing settings in system preferences on my mac. Im running Mac OS X Lion 10.7 and Im using tightvnc on my windows computer and its having a hard time getting connected to the mac mini. I notice when I try to connect my wifi connection on the mini drops. Can anyone tell me why this is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Angelo

We'd need a Monitor & KB/Mouse on the Mini, or another Mac to log into it, but you might try navigation to...
/private/var/log folder on the Mac & maybe look at the system.log if you can on a PC.

MacBook Pro os 10.8.5 loses wifi connection when going to sleep

Hi all. I've a domestic wifi network with 3 Macs, 1 Xbox and 3 Android mobiles.
Only the two MBP with OS 10.8.5 have the same problem: when gone to sleep, they do not re-find the network after waking up. I've to make them search for it manually (they find it immediately, then).
Any suggestion?

IPad WiFi/3G dropping WiFi connection when sleeping

Just recently, my IPad just started dropping it's wifi connection when it goes ton sleep, and it isn't automatically reconnecting. This is my home network, and previously it did reconnect on wake. I have open preferences and manually reconnect every time I wake the iPad.

Ok. I am surprised I haven't heard this from you smart people:
*The wifi problems are specific to certain types of routers!!!*
Example: My Pad works like a champ at work. The router there is an old Linksys G.
It works like crap at home. At home I have a newer Belkin N/G.
That's why some people have problems and some don't: It depends on the router.
So...My question is: What is the best router for an iPad?
I'm willing to go out an buy it; I just want someone to tell me the best one!!
Is it really necessary to spam so many threads with this?

My iPad 2 loses wifi connection on home network?

My iPad 2 loses wifi connection at home, iPhone remains constant and macbook remains constant. iPad rechecks every couple of minutes, then about every 15min or so loses connection, then I have to reselect network. Wifi is working on husbands iPad and iPhone without problem... suggestions?
Is a pain while surfing - suddenly get the "no internet connection", have to exit and go to settings and reselect the network. Frequently takes more than one attempt to reconnect.
Thanks

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

No SSID Broadcast (or connect) even when SSID broadcast is enabled on my WRT54GL?

I own a WRT54GL, Firmware is 4.30.12 (the latest).
I used to be able to connect with the router just fine, 801.11g, WEP security. Recently wireless connectivity stopped working (wired ports are working just fine, with both internal network and Internet access [external]). I just got around to trying again tonight...
It seems that my notebook computer does not *see* the wireless router. I tried connecting with SSID broadcast off (like I used to)... didn't connect.
I turn on SSID broadcast and even changed my SSID name on the router, and saved the config... but my notebook's "wireless networks" dialog still does not show my router (but it does show 5 of my neighbor's routers).
What would make an SSID not show up on my client "wireless network" dialogs, even though I tell the router to broadcast it?
Has the wireless portion of my WRT54GL simply died?

Please don't take this as an arguement, but I don't understand the logic of your troubleshooting steps.
I have no problems with Internet access, and my wired network works perfectly. So there seems no point in expanding the problem to include my broadband modem, right? My problem seems pretty well isolated (for now) to my WRT54GL only, since it is the immediate device that my notebook is unable to connect with (or see).
My firmware is the latest and was updated before I posted (see version # in my original post). I has already recycled the power. I didn't try the reset button... will try that next, but am not very hopeful :-(

Itouch loses wifi connection constantly

itouch constantly loses wifi connection, similar itouch has no such problem, updated software to latest version available but issue persists

Additional information, I have D-Link router that came free when I signed up with my cable company so I'm sure it's a basic model. I did update the firmware to the latest and greatest as well.

My iPad 3 wifi connection has been working perfectly.

My iPad 3 wifi connection has been working perfectly. Now I have lost automatic connections and when I join wifi told it is the wrong password. IT IS NOT. I have reset the network settings and can then connect with no problem. Keeps happening every time I try to join another wifi connection. Seems I can only store one connection at a time. This is a new problem and previously all of the connections I am tying to join worked absolutely perfectly. Is this a software update problem?

Thanks. Seems unlikely that several Wi-fi routers that were working fine have simultaneously stopped doing so.
Have tried a full system reset and set up the ipad as a new device again. Will find out whether that has worked when I try to connect my next wi-fi router tomorrow morning. I will also double check with the other ipad users whether they have been experiencing any problems with the router I could not connect to today until I reset the network settings.
Thanks again

I lose the connection when closing the CMD

Hi guys,
I have configured a standalone listener as following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin> java -Dapex.home=D:\list -Dapex.images=C:\images -jar D:\apex.war
Afterward,
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMD
-- listing properties --
PropertyCheckInterval=60
ValidateConnection=true
MinLimit=1
MaxLimit=10
InitialLimit=3
AbandonedConnectionTimeout=900
MaxStatementsLimit=10

MaxConnectionReuseCount=1000
APEX Listener version : 1.1.2.131.15.23

Hi,
I'm not sure I got your question right, but I'll try to find some solution anyway.
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.That's what happens when a shell is terminated - all associated processes will stop as well. However, if you have a apex-config.xml in your apex.home you shouldn't need to configure your APEX Listener each time your start it, but it would reuse an existing configuration.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.Now, if you have XE running on the same (local) machine as you have your APEX Listener running in standalone mode, you probably have a port conflict: By default, both APEX Listener in standalone mode and the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) use port 8080. The EPG is activated as web server for APEX in XE after a fresh installation, the APEX Listener would be an alternative in that case. You can either stop the EPG, or reconfigure any of the two web servers to use a different port, if you want to run them parallel.
To change the port used by the APEX Listener in standalone mode, you simply add another parameter to the startup: -Dapex.port=8888 and you're done.
To change the port used by the EPG, connect as sys and run the following
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8888);
COMMIT;If you want to disable the EPG, simply set the port to *0* .
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMDThat's what it should look like.
No, since your topic is "lose the connection when closing the CMD", I assume you search for an alternative. You could run the APEX Listener as a Windows service, even in standalone mode. To do this, you create a batch file, e.g.
%JAVA_HOME%\java -Dapex.home=D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\_home -Dapex.images=D:\oracle\apex_4_0_2\images -Dapex.port=8888 -jar D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\apex.war >>D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\my_apex_listener.log 2>&1Note that you have to set JAVA_HOME as system property or replace the call with the absolute path to your JDK or make sure the JDK is in your PATH variable.
Of course, you can and should change the other directories as well to fit to your system.
Next, create a Windows service, e.g. using [url https://iain.cx/src/nssm/]NSSM (free) or [url http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890]SRVANY (MS, non-free), that starts your batch as a windows service.
The command for creating that service using NSSM could look as follows
nssm install APEX_Listener D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\startup.cmdYou can edit the service properties afterwards, e.g. change the start mode from "Automatic" to "On Demand".
I hope this answers your question. If not, please point me into the right direction.
Thanks,
Udo

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.
