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.

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.
Cheers,
Allen

  • 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 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 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.

  • My imac loses wifi connection when it goes to sleep, how to correct?

    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:

    This 'fix' has worked for a few people but, unfortunately, not everyone:

  • Why does my airport loses wifi connectivity often?

    I am trying to find out my my airport loses wifi connectivity.  All of a sudden, there is no wifi in the  house.  What do i need to check?

    Hey barbaraeberle,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your AirPort seems to have lost its connection to the internet. To troubleshoot this issues, let’s try the following:
    See if you can isolate the issue first by using Wireless Diagnostics:
    About Wireless Diagnostics

    Additionally, check for sources of interference and reset your base station:

  • IPad 2 WiFi Connection Loss After Update To iOS 4.3.2

    I've been watching with growing alarm the explosion of complaints of iPad 2 WiFi connectivity issues since the upgrade to iOS 4.3.2. My iPad is becoming almost unusable because of this issue, and this after flawless performance of the two iPad 2 32GB WiFi-only machines I bought 15 March 2011. All the suggested solutions I've read of do not solve the problem.
    This is very disturbing, and I hope Apple addresses this soon.

    I also left feed back.  I thought apple was also on this did not realize it was just user to user with change.  Thanks Carolyn!

  • 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.

  • I have music in icloud but the ipad "loses the connection"

    I have music in icloud but the ipad "loses the connection".
    The music is loaded onto my imac and I want to be able to access it from the ipad
    The only way I can do this is to sync with the imac.  This does not use the icloud as I thought.
    The library shows on the ipad but it does not play.

    - If it happened after an iOS update try:
    Fix for “No Content” on iPhone & iPod after iOS 4.2.1 update
    - Next try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try restoring your iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.  Then resysnc.

  • 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

  • IPad 2 loses wifi connection every time I connect to Apple TV

    I'm a school teacher and have been using my iPad 2 for the past year on my school's wifi to mirror lessons via Apple TV.  I never had any issues, until recently, whenever I mirror my iPad on Apple TV, after a few minutes, my iPad will lose connection with the wireless.  The Apple TV will still have wifi connectivity, however.
    I used a coworkers iPad 3 and did not have the problem using hers.
    If it helps, my iOS is fully up to date, as is the Apple TV.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've turned it off and turned it on again, as well as hard reset.  Nothing has helped.
