Just got a new router, now iPad having trouble staying connected to wireless

It seems the wireless connection is sjakey on iPad. At home I never had any problems until recently after getting a new wireless router for the house. iPad sees the wireless network, connects, but often disconnects. Signal strength is fine, but it won;t hold. Any suggestions?
At my friends house, it sees his network and connects, but only works with email. Safari doesn't work or any app that requires wireless connection.

Shawn is speculating. None of us know if 2.0.3 will be released in September or indeed ever. 
Can I ask what type of encryption you are using? WEP, WPA or WPA? 40bit WEP needs a five ASCII character (or ten hex) password to work properly with all devices and 128bit WEP needs a thirteen ASCII character (or twenty six hex) password. It is much more preferable to use WPA though as you can use a password of any length and WPA can't be hacked nearly so quickly as WEP.
Hope that helps.

    My iPad had trouble staying connected to wireless even though have strong wi fi signal strength.  Could this be an iPad issue or something to do with updates or an adaptor?  Appreciate any feedback.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    I just bought a new iMac and am having troubles downloading creative cloud installer.  Its coming up with error 214 - I can't find any solutions for this.  Can anyone help me?  Im on mac OS 10.9.4

    Meg81 error 214 indicates a download data validation error.  This means that the update you downloaded became corrupted likely during the download process.  I would recommend utilizing the suggestions listed in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html to attempt to improve the stability of your Internet connection.
    You can also find information on how to review your download logs which may provide additional information regarding the failure of the download.

  • HT5569 on my wifi page  linksys what does the  Renew Lease  mean?   I'm having trouble staying connected to my home wifi, does this have anything to do with that?

    I'm having trouble staying connected to my home Wifi, it keeps going to 3G (I have never had this problem until today) When it is connected while I'm close to the router I click on the circled i after the linksys  & it goes to the IP adress stuff, down a little waysafter the DNS & sarch domains it says Renew Lease - should I click on that?

    DHCP is the system that dynamically assigns ip addresses from a pool of addresses.
    You get a lease for the ip addresses. After the lease is up, the ip addresses is released and put back in the pool.
    You get assigned another ip address.
    Renewing the lease releases the IP address and assigns you a new one.
    It will not cause any harm.

  • Having trouble staying connected to IEEE 802.1X with my iPhone 4s

    I got my iPhone 4S pre-ordered with Verizon and I am having trouble staying connected to my college's 802.1x WiFi connection. My college has a help website with a walkthrough to connect to the network and it works and I can get WiFi on my phone but when I lock my phone for about 1 minute my phone forgets the connection and I have to go through the steps all over again to get connected.
    Here are the steps my school site has me follow:
    Connecting to the RPI Wireless Network Using 802.1x Authentication on the iPhone / iPod Touch
    Make sure that your device has been updated to the latest software version available.
    Go into Settings and select Wi-Fi.
    Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is set to ON.
    Under Choose a Network, select Other....
    Enter rpi_802.1x for the Network Name, and press the Security option.
    Select WPA2 Enterprise as the security, then press the Other Network button in the top-left corner to return to the previous screen.
    Enter your RCS userID and password in the appropriate fields and press the blue Join button in the bottom-right.
    Let the network access load, then press the Accept button to accept the certificate provided.
    This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

    We use 802.1x Authentication here at UCSD and it seems fine.
    The only problem i see is it will disconnect when you lock the phone but it automatically reconnects when you unlock the phone.
    Our setup is a lot simpler, you just select the network and enter in your AD account information.
    It could be your college has not setup their wifi correctly. You should connect your network team.

  • I'm having trouble staying connected to the internet

    I'm having trouble "staying" connected to the internet.

    hmmmmmmm..........
    How are you connected to "the internet?"  There are many ways & you provided none.
    If wireless, are you using one of Apple's routers, or a 3rd part one?  If the latter post in their forums or contact their tech support department.
    Last but not least: 
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • Just got a new router yesterday and my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for a guest password.  Don't understand.

    Just purchased a new router yesterday since ours got struck by lightning.  Now my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for guest wifi passwords.  Don't understand. 

    Some new routers come with the standard connection as well as a guest account. The guest account can be used for when friends come over and want to use your Wi-Fi connection. You can give them the guest account password and still keep the main account password private. Make sure you are logging on to the main connection and not the guest account.

  • Just got a new router and now my ipad 1 says it can not connect to the server, even though it says that it is connected to wi fi

    Just put in a new router and now my ipad 1 will not connect to the server.  It is connected to the wifi though.  Does this mean my ipad is too old?  Any suggestions on what to do?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Got new router, now powerbook G3 pismo wont connect to it.

    asked cable company to replace router as i was paying for 60 meg connection but due to moving my router to connect to my dreambox i realised that the router only had 802.11g wifi and so my computer wasnt able to connect fast enough to use the connection. when watching football or downloading big files i ran an ethernet cable across the room which wasnt ideal.
    they replaced it with a new router capable of 802.11n today an rewired the cabling so both my mac and dreambox have ethernet connections.
    when they were here i went to test it with wifes powerbook but battery was dead so i tested with my palm tx and it connected fine..
    however...
    wifes powerbook gives an error and wont connect. part of me thinks its due to the powerbook being 802.11b and the router not handling that, but my palm tx is 802.11b so thats not a reason surely? checked and psp, wii, nokia phone all connect but powerbook gives error.
    if it is, can i just stick a pc usb 802.11g or n stick into the powerbook's usb (1) slot and make it connect?

    Are you certain you connected all the way to the Internet with your palm, and not just to the Router?
    cable company
    The cable company has to perform a "deep reset" to allow you to use a new device with a new M.A.C. Address. Your connection was established with an older M.A.C. Address, and that (your old Router) is the only device that can be connected until they do this.
    Call them and tell them, "I got a new computer, and you guys have to reset your equipment to accept the new device in place of the old one."
    almost every 802.11n Router has a mode that will allow it to pause for an instant and "sniff" for slower devices. It slows your network down by an imperceptible amount. Not an issue in home networks. But you may have to configure it to do so.
