IPAD2 not connecting to some sites since IOS update

Since the recent IOS 8 update, my IPAD will not connect to some sites.  It reads servere not found.  I'm trying to get onto my work site which is very important.  Now, my IPAD seems useless for work.  I have turned off and back on which did not help.  I have read that resetting it doesn't help either.  Please help.

i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009. 
This was my first clue.
After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link.  This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc.  Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info.  D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers. 
Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes.  The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem.  some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
Hope this helps at least a few people out there.

  • ICloud on Mail not connecting to IMAP server since Lion update

    Since the latest lion update, my Mail has been unable to recieve or send any mail.
    Mail connection Dr is showing the following error; "Could not connect to this iCloud IMAP server."
    Here's a few screenies showing the problems; http://imgur.com/a/VA7x1
    Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

    Thanks for the responces, both!
    I've tried re-signing in, in both mail and through system pref. I just get the following error at the starting "Welcome to mail" splash screen
    The iCloud IMAP server “p04-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
    As to the mail server, I can only assume no! As far as I can remember it was just a case of username+password and I was good to go. Really stumpped as to why this has happened.

  • 4s STILL not connecting to home wifi since ios6 update

    My wife and I both have the 4s.  We have not been able to use our home wifi since the ios6 update in Sept'12.
    Our macbook, ipad, and tivo all connect just fine.  Our 4s's work fine on any other wifi we need - just not the same dlink router dir-615 we've been using for years.
    I've reset my phone, i've reset the router, i'm on WPA/WPA2.  We're able to use wifi on the 4s for apps and google for about 2 minutes (this is when i assume everyone says "yey! it's fixed") only then stops working, but still shows we're connected to wifi.
    Apple blames the router (some threads speak of apple router's not even working)
    Dlink blames the iphone software (i've read even brand new iphones still don't work)
    Verizon doesn't care because neither of the products are theirs and i'm using more of my data plan - so they win.
    i'm growing increasingly embarassed to be "all apple" when i see the thousands of others with the same problem - and NO HELP from Apple.  We're basically on our own here - when we used to be able to rely on the company for expert solutions.
    I need a solution that is simple.  I want a solution that's easy for guests to use my wifi with out taking their phone apart, rewiring it, hooking it up to my car battery, deciphering 4 different codes, and taking an online course at MIT.  I just want to use my password and get on my wifi.
    please help - and if you can provide any tips, please ensure you're read the above first!

  • Secrurity padlock is not showing on secure sites since I updated too Firefox 5

    A padlock symbol used to appear in the header part of the screen when visiting a secure site such as a bank, this does not now happen.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, the padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • Unable To Connect To Some Sites

    I am unable to connect to some sites, with the error message "Safari can’t connect to the server." I cannot connect to the site with Firefox either.
    Example sites are: www.bostonpizza.com and www.airmiles.ca
    However, I am able to connect to these sites when I boot into WinXP.
    I have tried pinging the sites in question, getting the following error message: "ping: sendto: No route to host"
    It looks like something is bonked with my OS X settings. I have tried the following without any luck:
    1. Reseting the computer
    2. Clearing Safari's cache
    3. Reseting PRAM settings using OptCmd+pr key commands on startup
    4. Using OpenDNS in the network DNS settings
    I am connected directly to a Linksys ADSL Ethernet modem, and my firewall is set to allow all incoming connections. I'm not running PeerGuardian, and as far as I know I'm not running anything in the background that would bork my network.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I still haven't resolved the issue. I would say 99% of the sites I visit work fine, but for some reason the odd site won't work.
    This is the results for the ping on my Mac OS X system:
    PING www.bostonpizza.com (64.40.107.95): 56 data bytes
    ping: sendto: No route to host
    I can access the site running WinXP in Parallels, and I can access the site in question when I use bootcamp to boot into WinXP, using the same network hardware and same connections.
    It looks like from the ping, DNS is working and able to translate the site name, but for some reason cannot access the site.
    This is the results of a traceroute that I ran while booted in WinXP:

    When booted in Mac OS X, I am able to ping every listed IP address in the WinXP traceroute, except for the last one, 64.40.107.95.
    Still no idea what is going on, my network troubleshooting toolbox consists of pretty much ping, and googling error messages.

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • IPad 4th gen will not connect to some wireless networks

    My iPad 4th generation will not connect to some wifi ssid's.  My iphone connects and my wife's iPad mini connects just fine.  Some wifi'so always connect and others do not.  I notice it often in hotels.  I also have two wireless routers at home.  One connects fine.  The other only connects via 5g broadcast, not on normal ssid broadcast, yet all other devices can connect just fine.  Is this a hardware issue?

  • Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

    Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

    This does not work in my case.
    Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
    The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
    Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
    The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
    That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.
