IPads were kicked off wireless network

We have 12 iPad2's that worked perfectly with the wifi on Friday, none will connect to the wifi on Monday?????  I have rebooted the school network, rebooted the iPads, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes on the laptop (yes the laptops connect to the wifi-before and after the reboot). any more ideas?

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.

    has anyone come across this and what can i do about it?
    Thanks, Gary

    If the iPad is bouncing between the networks, than that is likely an issue with the iPad wireless supplicant behavior. The error message in red above is likely due to the device switching with fast-ssid change disabled.
    So, if we are more concerned with why the device keeps moving between networks, we should capture a bit more data. Running a longer client debug should give us some additional data points.
    I've seen similar behavior with Apple devices when they "Remember" wifi networks -- sometimes you need to "Forget" other networks in the area to stop the device from associating to it automatically.
    Also, version of WLC code are you running?

  • HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

    Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday.   Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.   
    we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on.   Turned wireless off and back on.
    but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
    What do do next?

    Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
    Click Delete on your keyboard
    It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

  • Randomly kicked off wireless even with Snow Leopard.

    I had 10.5.8 and was suddenly being kicked off wireless repeatedly. Several groups said upgrading to Snow Leopard would fix the problem but it hasn't. I still get kicked off wi-fi randomly. It reconnects on its own after a few minutes, then starts again. It's not my internet service as Ethernet connectivity works fine. Does this sound like a software issue? The router itself?

    Have you tried a different channel on the router?

  • Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

    I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
    Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi  GeoffAUS,
    I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
    If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
    We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
    Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
    Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.

  • Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

    Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
    Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

  • IPADs and IPhones dropping off wireless network

    I have a site with a number of iphones and ipads that are attaching to a Wireless network managed by a lan controller ( cisco 2504 )
    but they seem to drop off every 16 minutes .... and can then get back on a few minutes later.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks

    Right now I have it in the setting; "(OFF) Bridge mode". Do you know if the airport extreme if the internet bottle necks will crash?

  • IPhone kicks Macbook off wireless network?

    Alright, this is rather bizarre. I have D-Link DIR 625 wireless router, and I had no issues with Macbook (and other computers) connecting to it at all.
    I also connect my iPhone to the same wireless network. However, all of a sudden (the only change I know of is update to 10.5.7), if Macbook is connected to the wireless first, and I connect iPhone second, the Macbook looses the connection. If I restart the AirPort on the Macbook, then they both co-exist on the network with no issues. No other computer on the wireless network is affected.
    Does anyone know what could be going on here? This is reproducible each time. All I have to do is turn iPhone on (it auto connects to the preferred network) and Macbook is out .

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • RE kicked everyone off wireless network

    I just added a WRE54G v. 3 yesterday and set up was tricky, but seemed to complete in the end. There are 2 wireless networks here and I put the RE on a network called ART BARN. When I checked the settings the RE had the same exact settings except a diff mac address. This should work right? Well now no one can get on either of our two wireless networks here. Both routers are the WRT54G.
    Any solutions?

    hi , first thing i would check here is to see if i have the latest firmware on all devides...
    the WRT's have a newer and more stable firmware 1.01.0 ....i suggest you try this first.

  • Why won't my iPad 2 join my wireless network?

    I have the password for my wireless network. This password works perfectly and is accepted by my MacBook, my iPhone, and friends Windows machines when they come for a visit.
    When I enter my password into iPad 2, it seems to accept the password, with a checkmark next to my wireless network name.
    However, next to the Wi-Fi symbol it says “Not Connected”.

    Come on Apple, just give me a response to say that there is a problem so I can stop wasting my time trying to connect.
    This is a user-to-user technical support forum - Apple is not listening or responding here. Some Apple employees administer these forums but it's extremely rare that Apple ever posts anything here.
    Note that, while there may be a problem with your iPad, the fact that another computer connected to this network does not prove that there is a problem with your iPad. There could still be a bug in the router software which only shows up on the iPad (not all WiFi devices, especially low-power devices, use exactly the same features of the IEEE 802.11x protocols). Test your iPad on some other networks. If it has problems there as well then it needs service or replacement.

  • Apple Devices Dropping Off Wireless Network

    Hello, I have recently deployed a wireless network using a WLC 2504 with 21 Light APs. All seems fine except that
    Apple Devices drop their connections every 15 minutes or so. A couple of minutes later they can reconnect but
    obviously something is wrong.
    Many Thanks

    Only Apple device exhibit this kind of behaviour?
    What kind of Apple devices?  Mac laptops?  iPad, iTouch, iPhone?
    Have you seen this behaviour from, say, non-Apple devices?  Android?  Windows laptops?
    What are the signal strengths when this happens?
    Do you have Aironet IE enabled?
    How far are the clients from the WAP(s)?

  • IPad protection on public wireless network?

    Is there any protection on iPad to prevent someone from accessing my data on a public wireless network?  I know not to enter a credit card number in public, but what about the email password that is already saved there?

    On an open wireless network, anyone on that network can capture the network traffic and see any clear-text data.  Your e-mail password is safe IF you've got things set up to connect via SSL.  Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then select the account.  Edit the account, tap the Advanced button, and make sure Use SSL is turned on.
    That protects your password, but note that the contents of any messages you send and receive are, and always have been, plain text send in the clear.  So don't send anything sensitive via e-mail.  That's good advice in general, but especially relevant on an open wireless network.
    Beyond that, nobody can remotely hack your iPad and get access to the data on it.  It's just the data you're sending and receiving you've got to worry about it.

  • I'd like to debug and iPad problem joining a wireless network. Is there anyway to debug the network / system calls made while access an SSID?

    We have multiple 802.1x networks, where iPads on occasion are unable to connect. There is no apparent contact by the 802.1x supplicant to join the network, and the usually the network settings both on the iPad and in the wireless systems works. So it doesn't appear to be configuration related. I'd like to debug the network protocol stack on the client, or look at iPad system logs to determine what is going on when an iPad refuses to join a network. Thanks

    Yes they are centrally managed via cap/wap using PEAP/WPA1. The problem is that when this problem occurs none of that protocol is executed as far as I can tell. Hence digging into a debug log might provide a clue.

  • Why do I keep getting kicked off wireless internet?

    Hello- I keep getting kicked off of my wireless. Does anyone have any thoughts? Now, it's starting to occur more frequently- like every 20 minutes.Thanks

    Could be due to interference

  • RE: Getting Kicked off my network

    After I leave my G4 alone for a while, I have been getting knocked off my network. I know there may be some interference problems with cordless phones where I line, but when I try to put the cursor over the grayed out network status strength icon, I get the spinning beachball of death. I can't force quit or do anything. I finally have to do a cold restart. It takes a while for the G4 to shut down. When I finally shut it down I don't get all my icons in the upper bar. I only get a piece of the bar and the spotlight icon. many munites later I get the isyn, blutooth etc.
    Any thoughts? I have been reading that a lot of people have been having problems with the last security update causing lockups.
    PS, I scanned for viruses and worms uping Calm Xam and came up negative.

    I finally got the answer to my question. When my G4 goes into hibirnation mode the airport must get turned off as well. When I bring the G4 out of hibernation I had to restart. I disabled my hibernation to never, but I did leave the screen saver to start powering down within 15 minutes of non-use. This never happened in the 9 months that I owned the G4. There must be a bug in the system somewhere. Here is my case number in case Apple scans these posts.
    Now I have netowrk anytime and no glitches.
