IPad Mini Wifi is extremely slow

I have tried every trick out there. Restart this, change settings, all the tricks. I've read all the articles and there's definitely no fix for them otherwise you guy's wouldn't have to reply with 10 thousands methods on how to fix it. This has to be a hardware issue or a new issue with the update. There needs to be a new update. I feel completely ripped off as I am not able to even stream video on Youtube without it buffering every 5 seconds. This is ridiclous and it used to do it every now and then before the update, but a simple "forget this network" method would seem to fix it temporarily. After the update, it hasn't streamed well at all. This is comparable to dial up connection and one of the Mini's selling points was that the Wifi on it was supposed to be lightening fast. It is not and it never has been.

I have no problems streaming video with iOS 6.
If you are having WiFi/Network problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is with your network. Try restarting your router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

IPhone 4S and iPad 4 WiFi is extremely slow

Over the last month, the WiFi connection on my iPhone 4S and iPad 4 has been extremely slow. The iPhone and iPad cannot seem to get speeds faster than .5 - 1.3 Mbps. Yet, my (wired) Mac Mini and (WiFi) Macbook Pro are pulling 18 - 25 Mbps consistantly.
Not sure if this is an issue with my approx. 3 year old Linksys Wireless N Router (model E1000) or an issue with the iPhone and iPad since i'm able to get decent wireless speeds on my Macbook Pro.
To troubleshoot the situation, I've verified my wireless router's firmware is up-to-date and I've reset the network settings on the iPhone and iPad.
Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful since I seem to be stuck and not sure what "next steps" I should take. Thanks in advance!!

Ok, so...here's a twist: I've been using Speedtest.net to test my wifi connection. I ran tests on 4 different servers that Speedtest picked up. While testing the iPhone, 2 of the 4 show speeds well over 20 Mbps, however, the other two servers show speeds of about .5 Mbps. Is it normal to get extremely different readings from the servers?
I'm now trying to determine if in fact I have a problem...or if there is no problem since the speeds look fine on other servers. What do you think?

IPad Mini wifi only works properly for 30 seconds!

Anyone have the same issue?
iPad mini's wifi internet connection only works breifly on my network
Everytime I connect my iPad mini to my wifi, Internet on the iPad Mini works PERFECTLY but only for around 30 seconds.
Next time i connect my iPad mini to wifi, same thing happens
Internet on the iPad Mini then becomes very slow to a point where it will not load webpages, web content for apps etc
I have laptops, an iPad 1, iPhone 4, and an xbox that connect to the same network no problem at all
iPad mini works perfectly on other people's wifi network however
Already went to Apple geniuses, went to Apple hotline, and Apple online for help. They took me through all the troubleshooting steps but no answers that help
(upgraded firmware, reboot and restored both iPad and Router, messed with router settings etc)
only trouble-shooting step that wasn't taken was the change router settings 2.4Ghz to 5 Ghz because it didn't seem possible on my router
Help!

If the WiFi on your iPad works well on other networks the problem lies in your WiFi router or in its configuration. If there is no router firmware which solves this problem I'd simply replace the router.
Strange that among all the detail in your post you didn't mention the make, model or version of the WiFi router that you are using.

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

Hi
I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is the Bluetooth connection working to use GPS positioning on the IPad using IPhone 5 as the hotspot?
Thanks for your input

try a RESET ALL SETTINGS

HT1222 IPad mini wifi+cellular does not allows to enable restrictions in fact there is no such alternative under Settings- General.. I need the passcode for several purpose, how can to avail it?.. Please somebody ASAP

Hello,
A day before got new IPAD mini (Wifi-Cellular). When trying to look forpasscode enable option, it ended with nothing to avail. Would like to know if there is any such priviledge or not. Secondly, when the iPad is left idle for awhile ,say, 5 minutes,, a poor screensaver pops up and continues to play IPad advertisement, which we usually find in DEMO products @stores. Doubtful, if seller has handed over bad/demo stuff to me. Please suggest. It took whole of last night to figure out on Google, but no success.
Thanks

Morning driving,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
iOS: Understanding passcodes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
If you are unable to modify certain passcode settings, there may be a configuration profile that requires these passcode options.
You can find out if a profile is installed by tapping Settings > General and looking for the Profile setting between Accessibility and Reset.
Best of luck,
Mario

IPad mini Wifi 64GB Black Crashes frequently

I have an iPad mini Wifi 64GB Black, it frequently crashes when I'm using it, this can happen at anytime, for example, when reading a book in iBooks, playing Chess, using safari etc.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, we're you able to resolve the issue somehow?
Thank you in advance.
Gunker

The most likely reason for things to crash is lack of available memory. This is not your 64GB storage, it's the 512MB RAM that keeps things running. The easiest and quickest way to free up RAM is to terminate apps that you are not using at the moment.
Either double click the Home button or do a 5 finger swipe up to expose the running apps. Press and hold on one of them until they start to jiggle, then tap the red minus sign to close the app.
I tend to close anything I'm not using regularly, so usually just email, Safari and iBooks stays open.

Ipad mini wifi cellular purchased in Germany Help !

Can I use a ipad mini wifi cellular purchased in Germany when I go to UK if I buy a micro nano sim in UK ?

No iPads ( or iPhones for that matter ) come with a sim
in or out of the box
You have to buy a sim either on a PAYG or contract
Your iPad will not be locked to a carrier
and you can switch the sim as often as you like
I always turn off my idevices before changing the sim
this eliminates any potential conflicts
this might also help

How can i connect ipad mini wifi celluar to 2g internet plan, how can i connect ipad mini wifi celluar to 2g internet plan

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan

Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
     "Compartir Conexión desde":   iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
     "Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
                             "Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol

I want to buy an ipad mini Wifi Cellular and use it in Central Asia,so there are two models: A1454 and A1455,what is the difference?

Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA

Wifi is extremely SLOW

I'm not sure what's going on. My wifi is extremely slow. I know it's not the network, I have a PC hooked up via ethernet and it runs fast/normal. I also have a NAS on it, and the drives are mounted, sometimes. Often, it'll fail to make a connection to them. Again, the NAS shows up fine on the PC. I'm not sure why my macbook pro has such slow wifi; my previous mac ran fine and I haven't tinkered with anything in the network.

I have two routers both work fine. Only thing that has issues is the GS60 and GS70
Updating firmware can solve/improve the compatibility issue.
Quote from: Rostan;108706
This guy is in the process of trouble shooting an issue with the Drivers and has not found a solution so there is nothing useful from this.
Changing wifi connection to 802.11a/5GHz band can improve the download speed. I'd give that a try.
The last issue he has is that his home router doesn't support 802.11a.

And I tried to reset iPad mini's network, even reset all the settings, but still no luck.

What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer. So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection What does it mean?
