Ipad lost wifi after ios7 update but works when close to signal.

Hi
Ive read lot of posts that have the same issue as mine except for one difference. My ipad will reconnect if I am very close to the router or my range extender.
I have had three years of faultless use from my ipad and it lost wifi and bluetooth connectivity immediately after updating to ios7.0.4.
Ive tried all the usual remedies as in updating the router firmware, resetting the ipad, switching wifi on and off etc. All to no avail.
Unfortunately it still wont find a wifi signal where all my other apple and samsung gear will find multiple signals easily.
I found out that if im within 20cm of my range extender or within 2-3 metres of my asus router i get about 2 bars of signal and it works accordingly. If I move beyond that range my signal drops out.
Ive ordered a new Wifi antenna but wanted to know if anyone else has got some ideas prior to me fitting it.
Thanks for any help

To Diavonex,
Thanks for your reply,
I took the ipad for a drive to see if it could find a signal.
My Samsung S4 was continuously picking up new Wifi signals but my Ipad didnt find a single one.
So I went into my local computer shop and got within two metres of their wifi antenna and got a 2-3 bar signal. I literally took one big step away from it and I lost the signal and it wouildnt return until I approached the aerial agian.
The computer tech just laughed and said thats Apple for you.
What I cant work out is that it had been perfect in all conditons for years until the ios7 update.
Thanks

  • Iphone 4s - fully working after ios7 update, but since ios7.0.2 update wifi is locked out. Tried all of apples recommendations and still no joy. Is there anyway around it?

    Iphone was working great, even after ios 7 update. However, since ios 7.0.2, the wifi has greyed out and wont work. I have done all the apple recommendations and even reset phone with apple tech help, but still no joy - is apple going to do another update to fix this problem???

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • TS4268 iMessage not working on iPad and iPod after IOS7 update.

    My iMessage is not working on both my iPad and iPod. I have done everything the apple website has said to do and I don't have the options suggested. They just simply will not send. Can someone please help me fix it?
    My iPad is updated to IOS 7.0.2 and my iPod is IOS 6.1.2.

    Yes, I've tried everything, logged in and out of everything, re-synced the ipad....settings ar ethe same on both devices but the ipad does not message and the phone does.
    From what I have read I'm not the only one with this issue since the iOS7 upgrade.

  • HT201263 After Ios7 update it asked me to restore iphone . But restore is not working

    After IOS7 update, Extract software did not recognize device properly . Now iTunes asked me to restore iphone . I tried restoring.
    Its giving me an error saying Phone not recognized [Error code : 2000] http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/updaterestore/?error=20000
    Kindly help pls ..

    Hey kartbeat2001,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides relevant information in regards to Error 2000:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you're using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • TS1702 Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad,the Mac is working and wifi is on and the Ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open because it could not connect to the server, does any one know what have happened?

    Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

    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.

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

    I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode.And when I go and click restore I can't restore because the "findmyiphone" is on and I can't do anything about it since i can't get in my ipad. I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Camera on ipad2 not working after ios7 update?

    Camera not working on ipad2 after ios7 update?

    AApple takes no responsibility for their updates causing harm to devices. See section 7.4 through 7.6
    i see a lot of denial on this site when it comes to viruses, the same applies to apple updates messing up folks devices. Take it back to an apple store and it is likely the best you can hope for is a discount on a new ipad.  Good luck.  Hopefully someone here can help you with a fix.

  • Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update

    Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update?

    Did you always have the same problem or is it new? I always used to be able to get Facebook to work on wifi with no issues for months. I downloaded the new software update for Revolution, and all of a sudden it seems like they blocked the Facebook app somehow unless you're on 4G. It really sux because I can't get into my Zynga games either that are tied to FB! Wish someone at Verizon could be aware of this and fix the problem.
    Also, interestingly, when I try to log into the Facebook site with the browser I am directed to an error page. The browser works fine for every other site though. Really seems like there was some kind of block instated that will no longer let you use Facebook on a wifi connection. 

  • Why does the app vorlagen fuer numbers not work after ios7 update

    After ios7 update the app vorlagen fuer numbers won't open anymore, but vorlagen fuer numbers 2 works.

    I have been unable to find any app that works with Numbers on IOS7. I can still read them on IOS 6.1.3 with an iTouch.
    Numbers on IOS devices still works.

  • Lost wifi after update

    If I lose wifi after an update on an iphone 3gs will apple warranty it even though it was out of warranty. It works fine, but now has no wifi. In essance I updated the software as advised by Apple, and now the software has caused a fail.

    By "No Wifi" I mean.. the option to select or turn it on is grayed out.
    I have seen this appears to be a common issue, and appears to relate to the IO6 Update, but there appears to be no solution.
    I have tried resetting and restoring a few times, but no joy.
    It was working fine prior to the update, and now appears to be gone.
    I would have assumed this would be an "Out Of Warranty"... Warranty from Apple as it appears to be caiused by their software.

  • Bluetooth problems in car after ios7 update

    Why will my iPhone 4 not pair with my car after ios7 update. It worked perfectly in my BMW 316d before the update. Any ideas please?

    I have now performed "Reset all settings" on both iPad Air and iPhone 5S, using iOS 8.02. The 'interesting' side effect is an apparent wipe of my iCloud! All documents gone in Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Same with Notability, but at least I backed that up on Google Drive. I still have my pictures, I still have my music. Oh yeah, all my movies in iMovie (the ones uploaded on iCloud) - gone as well (at least they are backed up on a hard drive).
    The good news is that I have now been able to reset all Bluetooth connections.  This has enabled Airdrop, amongst other things. I still haven't tried to connect to my car.
    I have an appointment with an Apple employee this evening to try to restore my iCloud.
    No bashing - but Apple needs to work more on quality assurance on cloud based services.

  • After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem?

    After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem? Before upgrade to iOS7 I used to play game for hours and never faced this problem. This is specially when I play HayDay.
    Please advise.

    Buenas, otra vez. Terminé resolviendo mi problema instalando el AE CC. que no es lo que quería en principio pero al final lo que me importa es poder disfrutar del programa. el único problema es que gracias a la tarjeta gráfica que trae mi modelo de MacBook, no podré disfrutar de la opción de trabajar los gráficos en GPU sino únicamente en CPU. ya que para trabajar en GPU necesito el complemento CUDA que mi tarjeta no lo puede utilizar. igual seguiré buscando respuestas a mi caso por la web y otros foros.
    Hello again. I ended up installing AE CC to fix my problem. although that was not what I was looking for but at the end all that matter is to enjoy the software. The only unsolving issue is that I won't be able to enjoy the option of working graphics in GPU mode due to my graphic card. It needs CUDA and intel doesn't support it. I'll keep on looking for answers to my trouble with AE CS6 in the web.
