IPad mini Wifi is slow

I just found out that my wifi on my iPad mini is very slow compared to my iPhone's speed. It has full bars but the wifi is slow. i did i side by side comparision with my iphone and found that it is lagging alot behind. Some times i cant even connect which means that i have to resst the network settings or turn off the device. HELP?!

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 droping 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.

  • IPad mini wifi connection slow

    I just got an iPad mini, and i have noticed that the wifi connection is so slow. I have many other devices, and the wifi on them is great. I've updated to ios 6.0.2 but it hasn't helped. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can it be fixed? Thanks

  • 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?

  • 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 bought new Ipad mini, wifi Cellular. And created Apple ID, its asking VISA card number to register payment method, I given my ICICI VISA card details but Its showing as, "Payment method declined". Anybody can help me?

    We can't help you in any meaningful way.

    Only suggestion-use a different card.

  • 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?

    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

    my router is DLink Dir-615, and the iPhone 4(ios5.x),iPad2(ios5.x) and notbooks(windows 7) can connect to the router successfully.
    And I tried to reset iPad mini's network, even reset all the settings, but still no luck.
    I doubt it is the hardware issue of iPad mini. Pleasesssssssssssssse, HELP ME OUT OF IT.
    plus, I tried setting virtual host with Windows 7, 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?

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    TestArchitect wrote:
    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.
