IPad2 dropping wi fi signals

iPad 2 unit dropping the wireless signal. A reset did not fix the issue. It does get the signal but keep dropping signal 2 or 3 times in 10 minutes. Can not connect to safari or app store.

Have you tried turning off your router for approx 1 minute then switching on and trying again?

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day). The green light will go amber but the internet service (ethernet cable) will still be fine. The wireless icon on devices with go away.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

IPhone makes my wifi router drop it's signal

When I drain my iPhone completly & plug it in to charge (USB wall charger not USB port on laptop), after the 5-10 mins with the red lightening screen when the phone comes back on my wifi router drops it's signal, this has been happening for a while now so I got into the habit of turning wifi off on iPhone just before it was due to completly die so when it came back on the router didn't drop it's signal & it wasn't that much of a problem doing this once a week.
However things are getting worse now, if I leave my house & my wifi is on, when I return home it's doing the same thing & making the router drop out. I can't be messing around turning wifi on & off everytime I return home.
I have also just had to reset my iPhone & once again when it turned back on the router dropped out.
Anyone any idea why it's doing this & how to stop it other than turning wifi on & off?

Thanks for that, just checked & I'm running the latest firmware version already
for info it's a Belkin wireless G plus router, model number FSD7231-4 version 1212uk

The next thing I'd try is changing the DNS settings from what your ISP uses. If you are not familiar with DNS then please look over CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting. Then use the following to reset:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences

Ipad2 dropping wifi

Ipad2 dropping wifi. There is no rhyme or rhythm to when this happens. Sometimes it takes minutes to get it back, and sometimes much much longer. Sometimes it looses the wifi connection just after it connects. This just started the last 4 months or so and I've had this iPad since it came out.

It might have nothing to do with your equipment but try unplugging your router for a few minutes and see what happens

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back. Transmitter problem or interference?

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability. The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back. How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
Make sure the guest wireless is off.
Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
You should see lists of wireless connection like..
Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.
IPv6 is starting to become a pain.. try it off and try local link and try auto.. in the computer.

Orig iPhone call drops & very low signal w/ latest update since 3GS release

For those who have the original iPhone...have any of you been experiencing A LOT of dropped calls and also VERY LOW signal, like 1 & 2 bars? Not just in certain areas either but EVERYWHERE.
After the 3GS release an update of iPhone software was released some time later for the older phones. After I updated my original iPhone to the latest software release through iTunes after the 3GS release my original iPhone now has very poor signal and a lot of dropped calls. I've visited several AT&T stores for resolution. There insufficient answer, perform a network reset. I do this several times a day and it has no positive effect. I still drop calls, some calls don't connect and extremely poor signal.
I also noticed that the internet is working slower, both using the Edge network and the wireless in my own home.
Moreover, I've been researching the internet and finding a lot of other people experiencing the same issues. Mostly becuase the new 3G & 3GS are media hogs eating up the resources & capacity of AT&Ts network capabilities. I've even found that there are 2 class action lawsuits against Apple & AT&T about the poor network operation, tethering limitation and Apple not allowing Google to post an app on iTunes store.
I think the orginal iPhone updated to the latest software release from iTunes that is meant for 3G & 3GS is causing the poor performance to the original iPhone. I know dropped calls & poor signal is AT&T's responsibility but I feel that Apple has an obligation to it's customers to make sure all models, including the original iPhone, are up to par or above average performance when releasing new software, firmware & hardware. I think at this time Apple & AT&T have not completely verified and validated that the original iPhone still performs well with the 3G & 3GS updates.
If Apple or AT&T or both don't remedy my phone network issues to prevent dropped calls and improve the very poor signal then I will be selling the iPhone and switching to a Blackberry with Verizon service. I had Verizon before and ONLY dropped calls in 2 deadspots. I could bet my life I would drop a call driving through that zone, but so does T-Mobile & AT&T. Other than that, Verizon is without a doubt the best cellular service I have had.
Get with the program Apple & AT&T, make your customers happy and fix the network issues so original iPhone users won't leave AT&T to other services. Note, I was thinking of spending $300 and upgrading to the new 3GS but now I'm thinking of spending less and switching to a Blackberry with a more reliable cellular service, Verizon.
So, is Apple & AT&T going to lose another valuable customer?
P.S.
Yes, I paid $600 for my 8GB original iPhone. Loved it til now. Geez, I'm ashamed to say Apply may have finally made a bad product that does not stand the test of time.

Greg Light

Ipad2 dropping connection with WPA2

I recently changed my FIOS connection to WPA2, and my Ipad 2 keeps dropping connection after a few min of play. I have no issues with my Ipad 1, Iphone, and Itouch connecting to it. It seems to only happen with the Ipad2. My wireless is set up with WPA2 AES encryption using the standard FIOS router. It is not a distance from router issue either. I have been right next to the router with all the devices and still only have the issue with the Ipad2. I restarted the router, deleted the connection and reconnected to the router also.

IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi & Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast).
To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft & hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection.
Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there. But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft & hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-)

Wifi for ipad2 dropping

Since 11/30/2012 my wifi at home keeps dropping ipad2 . PC still works great so Iquestion all the references to the router as the problem. iOS 6 was updated and worked ok using wpa2, Tried changing cookies, location, what is the problem. tried reset so many times I cannot remember, Seems to be confused if there are multiple wifi available but not sure.

Try #5.
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

HT204400 Apple TV drops strong wifi signal.

Everything up to date with reliable 50Mbps internet, Apple TV works with Cat 5 cable, but drops streams frequently and lags airplay when connected wirelessly. It is 10 feet away from the router. why? Restarted multiple times, checked software version multiple times, restarted router, restarted MBP, it just won't stay connected. Is there a fix coming for this?

I'm not having a problem with the speed of the internet, I'm having a problem with it staying connected... yes I know it's a wifi issue that's obvious... thanks for pointing that out.
Nohting for Apple to fix? hmmmm, well Two Samsung phones never drop the signal, a Samsung TV never drops the signal, a Samsung Tab 2 never drops the signal, an iPad Mini never drops the signal, a Macbook Pro never drops the signal.... but for some reason the Apple TV drops the signal 20+ times during one movie and it won't stream airplay.
Not to mention multiple other posts complaining about it staying connected even using Apple Airport.
So hopefully there are other people who will read this post that can respond with more than just pointing out the obvious. I mean seriously theres gotta be something that can be fixed or something because thus far Apple products have been impressive, this doesn't seem to fit their M.O.

IOS 5 and ipad2 dropping wifi connection

After applying the update my ipad2 keeps briefly dropping the wifi connection and then reconnecting, although sometimes it prompts me to choose which network to connect to. No problems before the update and all other devices are connecting fine. Any thoughts?

I have fixed my problem...
I turned off my wireless router and back on again and now its working fine..
after spending ages resetting to ipad and mucking aroung with my home router settings, all I had to do was to turn it off then back on..
Hope this helps others..
yep, same issue here.....
I changed my router channel and it fixed the problem for a while...
I changed my router to wireless "n" only and it worked again for a while..
now I have not a clue...

IPad2, having problems with signal strength on WiFi?

On my iMac I have four bars signal strength. On my iPad2 I have one bar and it will not connect to the WiFi.

I have a similar problem.
(But not on Crystal Palace Tx).
Switch to a poor channel. (Dave for example. This is one I have problems with).
Go to Settings, TV Settings, Freeview Signal Strength.
Now press the Info button to get extra information.
Note the UHF channel number, the channel is being received on.
Get the same channel information, on the other Freeview receiver you have.
In my case, the UHF channels are different.
I believe, the Youview box is pre-set to receive from a transmitter (and hence a UHF channel number), determined by a post-code and/or your address details.
Because my aerial is not pointing at the main transmitter for my post code, I get poor reception because the transmitter the aerial is pointing at, transmits Dave (MUX) on another UHF channel.
As confirmed by the other freeview receivers I have.
There doesn't seem to be a way to force the box to use any other UHF channel.
Any scan always comes up with the same one.
There is no manual setting.
I might be totally wrong, but I think this is another software bug.

IPad Mini Drops LTE/3g signal

When I upgraded my iPad Mini to iOS 7.1.2, it crashed mid-update and stopped being able to connect to LTE or 3G data; only the 1x signal could be established (which is useless on an iPad). I tried resetting network services, and subscriber services. On the advice of Verizon tech support, I completely wiped and reloaded the operating system. No good. Vz connected me to Apple support, and they could not find out what was wrong either.
I recently updated to iOS 8.0, and I noticed some improvement. Now, if I toggle airplane mode, the iPad will connect to a 3g or LTE signal and I can use it for up to a few minutes before it again drops the connection. WiFi works great. Location is not a factor, this happens the same no matter where I am.
I am at my wits end! Please help!!
