Laptop v iPad Wireless Connectivity

Side by side my MacBook gets full wireless signal in the house while my iPad is only showing a single bar. It's not the end of the world but certainly annoying because I usually use the iPad around the house for casual surfing and it's notably slower than it should be. Has anyone else had similar problems? Does this seem odd to anyone else?

With Apple routers? Your experiences are not typical. The vast majority of iPad owners have no problems. The vast majority of those who do report problems do not use Apple routers. If you have all Apple equipment and they don't work well together, take them into the store and get them fixed. Something is wrong.
My suggestion is live with it as it does not appear Apple is going to do anything about it.
Have you done anything about it?
These pages are loaded with complaints about iPad wifi and nothing has been done about it.
You are correct on that one. Very few people take their iPads into the Apple store and test them on a known, good network. If you did that, and your iPad didn't work, you could get a new iPad. If you did that, and your iPad did work, you could get new routers.
You have put too much faith into the misinformation on the internet. Put your faith in Apple, where it belongs and go get your equipment fixed.

Ipad wireless connection to Color Laserjet pro MFP M177

Struggling on set up. The printer seems to require a network through which to wirelessly connect to my IPAD. But my IPAD runs on 3G and is not part of any network in my office. I already have the IPAD connecting to a HP printer at home where there is a network, but not at my office location. so ive already got the HP eprint App up and running, but it cant identify the printer, which is switched on (but which is asking for me to select a network). So can anyone direct me as to how I wirelessly (no other way with an IPAD) connect my IPAD to my brand new Laserjetc Pro MFP printer ? Mny tks
This question was solved.

Hi,
You should either plug the printer to your network via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly by running the installation on a PC, then connect the iPad to the same wireless network as the printer.
If you do not have a wireless network at the office you may also use the Wireless Direct feature of the printer by following these steps:

WRT320N & IBM T42 laptop keeps dropping wireless connection at key times

I have an IBM T42 laptop whihc keeps dropping the wireless connection at what seems to be the same time windows each day.
I have my cable modem connected to my WRT320N.
My wireless it set up as follows :
Manual configuration
Wireless Band = 2.4Ghz (Think it needs to be this for the T42 wireless).
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = 20Mhz only
Channel = 2
It seems to be that at approx 8pm each night when using the latop downstairs, the wireless connection will drop and then fail to reconnect for a period of time. I reboot the laptop and it will then begin to work again. The wireless connection does seem to keep trying to connect but it cannot maintain the connection to the router.
Any ideas?

Well I've pretty much given up trying to get this router to work so have spoken to the supplier I bought it off who said it's now discontinued by Linksys - all support is through them now. Took it up with them went through all the steps I've done to try and troubleshoot it (helps to be an IBM engineer as I logically follow procedures through).
I've RMA''d the router and hope it's replacement works better. I've just unbricked my old WRT54GS to make do whilst I wait for a replacement - back down to 100mb traffic - I'll miss my gigabit switch for a while!

Is the iPad wireless connection safe for someone with a pacemaker?

A friend of mine wants to purchase an iPad, but is worried that the wireless connection might interfere with her heart pacemaker.
Normally, with other devices, she disables their wireless interface and uses a wired connection instead, to avoid the risk.
As I understand it, the iPad cannot be connected to the internet with a wire, only via a wireless link. Is that so?
If a wireless connection must be used, do you have any recommendations for users with pacemakers, please?
Many thanks.

I believe you can connect it to a mac via usb and use the internet through the usb cable. That would defeat the purpose of it being mobile though. Like the others said I would consult a doctor and see if the wifi signals will have any effect. If she uses a cell phone those put out way more power than a typical wifi connection. That is why wifi uses less battery power than 3G
No, actually you can't. The iPad is a mobile,device with no way to connect via USB other than to synch to iTunes.
As previously suggested, the OP should advise the friend to consult her physician or the pacemaker manufacturer. However, considering that encountering radio waves of the type used for wireless network connections is COMPLETELY unavoidable is the friend has any mobility at all, I have difficulty thinking it would be an issue or a needed precaution. A quick Google search indicates a pacemaker is NOT adversely affected by wireless networks.

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.

IPad Wireless Connection

Hi, I am using IPad and trying to connect to corporate Wireless network. The Corporate Radius server is configured for Certificate based authentication. I have installed user cert in IPad but when trying to connect it is saying wrong credentials. I hv checked the logs of RADIUS server and it is saying that wrong authentication method used.
The same user cert is working in Laptops. The IPad is not added to any domain. I need to configure PEAP with Certificate authentication in IPad.
Please suggest

updating the firmware for better compatibility is adviced

Unable to print from my laptop using the wireless connection..

I have configured my HP 3540 series as Wireless printer. The diagnostic tools can detect the printer wirelessly on my laptop and a test page is being printed out without issues. However, when I try to print a document from the same laptop I am unable to get it printed.
I am sure the printer IP is getting detected on the laptop and is configured properly.
What else can I check to resolve this issue.
Note: I get the same issue if I connect the printer through the USB cable provided.

Hello naveen8549,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Thanks for your time.

I have a MacBookPro, an iPad and an iMac using a wifi connection with an airport extreme base station. Lately I am having trouble with connection time outs. Right now the laptop and ipad are connected okay but the iMac has timed out and I can't reconnect

Please help. Just the last week or so (maybe since Apple released a new software update for my Airport, I keep getting kicked off the net and can't reconnect - it doesn't even show my wifi network in the list of available networks. I am considering resetting the airport as detailed in the manual. If I do this will it act as a new one and can I set it up as from the beginning. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.8 and if I try to use the airport setup assistant it tells me i can't use this version of the app with the version of my OS (because I have upgraded my OS ) I assume
I get a message saying my network requires a WPA password and when I put it in it says connection timeout - meanwhile here I am on my laptop and connecting okay to the net that way - so strange.
If I connect directly to the computer I have a good connection so it is not my ISP
I am 64 and a woman and I thought I was reasonably savvy having had Macs since 1992. This has me stumped and I really would like some advice - otherwise I think I'll just go iout andf buy a new airport.
And just so you know . . . I have a smart TV and it is connecting to the net okay!

apikoros wrote:
The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Turning off Autofill in Safari may allow proper sign-on. Go to Settings > Safari > Autofill and turn it Off. There is an interference between a Safari dialog (save password?) that appears when Autofill is turned On and the successful completion of the sign-on process to the WiFi access point.

Printer 'offline' when actually not on wireless connection laptop

I have an Officejet Pro L7590, connected via a wired connection to my Linksys router.
My laptop runs Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium and is wireless connected to my router.
When I double-click the printer in 'Devices and Printers'. It shows 'printer offline'
When I print a document it goes to the queue, but doesn't printer.
I have already tried the following:
. re-install the printer
. install the printer as local printer, with as port the IP address of the printer
. install the printer as networkprinter
. run the Diagnostic tools provided by HP
But still the same problem.
When I connect my laptop via a wired connection to my router (without changing anything to me printer settings) the printer is 'online' and works fine.
How can I make the printer work when my laptop has a wireless connection?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

OfficeJet wireless connection problems

I am hoping someone can help me as I have exhausted every option I can find.
I bought an OfficeJet 6830 All in one printer. I have several devices that need access to it.
My desktop Dell uses a USB cable to connect to the printer and it works well.
I have three laptops that I would like to connect wirelessly to the printer, but I can't get any of them to identify the printer.
I can install the printer using a USB cable, so I know the software and drivers will install.
When I set up the printer, I set up the wireless connection. The printer attaches to my Actiontec router (FiOS) and I can log into the router to see the device. It shows it as active. The blue light on the front panel of the printer is on and solid. I can check the settings in the printer and it shows the correct SSID and correct format for an IP address. I have set it up as a static address in the router and manually set it in the printer.
The problem occurs when I try to install the software on the laptops. I get to the point wher I specify the connection as Wireless and the software attempts to find the printer, but it never finds it. I have tried manually typing in the address for the printer, but this does not help with discovery.
I even tried installing the drivers and software using the USB cable which was successful. I then tried to convert the connection from USB to Wireless, but I don't think the software was waiting long enough for the printer to establish an IP address, because it would show a panel that stated the printer was connected to the network but waiting on an IP address. I would select Wait for the printer to establish an IP address, but even after the printer's blue light stopped flashing and stayed solid, the software still cannot find the printer.
Anyone have further suggestions I might try to get it connected to my laptop?
I would hate to ship back the printer, but if I can't print wirelessly, then I need to find a better printer
Thanks.
Update:
I found the Actiontec article and reread it twice before noticing that AES encryption was needed rather than the TKIP/AES I was using. I changed it to AES and I was able to install the software and get the printer to communicate with the laptop over the wireless connection.
Unfortunately, it didn't last very long as it is again refusing to communicate between the laptop and printer.
Does anyone have a clue what's going wrong?
Thanks

Hi blbower,
Well, by the sounds of things we may have our work cut out for us.
Let's start off right frm square one.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please remove the usb cable from the Windows XP computer and from the printer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
If you have already attempted to install the software and drivers on the Windows 7 computers, please click on the following link for Uninstalling the Printer Software. I suggest you do this for each computer so that we are starting off clean.
Once the uninstall is complete, please restart each computer so that the changes take affect.
If you have any firewalls or anti virus protection running, disable it on each and every computer.
This next link is the HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers .Please save this file on each computer to the Desktop so that it creates its own icon.
Double click the new icon and follow the instructions for the installation.
These steps will need to be done on each system.
On the printers main display, we are going to need to reset the Network Defaults so that it starts off fresh.
On the front touch panel, scroll to the right to the Setup option, go to Network set up and then to Restore Network Defaults. Press YES to make the changes.
Once it has been reset, go to the Network Setup option once again and this time select Wireless Set up Wizard. Once this is complete you will then see an IP address that you can add to each computer on the portion where it asks for a connection option in the installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks once again for your time.

E3000 routers wireless connections drop when gigabit hardwire is used

I have a very strange but repeatable problem with my E3000 wireless router. I have multiple devices connected wirelessly such as and iPhone and 3 laptops. I also have a couple of devices (dvd player and satellite receiver) connected hard wire. The problem occurs when I connect my laptop hardwire and uses gigabit speed. All wireless connection stop working. When I look in the router at the list of users it show all the wireless devices as being connected via the LAN and not wireless anymore. When I unplug the gigabit hardwired connection and reboot the router all the wireless devices go back to normal and function correctly. I am also using MAC security for the wireless devices so when I plug in the laptop hardwire it changes from wireless to LAN in the user client table. Unfortunately all the other wireless devices do also.

You have 3 wireless laptops. The wireless connection stops working when you connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the router.
Does this happen when you connect any laptop to the router or only with the specific laptop?
Disable the wireless network connection on your laptop and then connect the laptop to the router with the Ethernet cable.
See if that works.

Hub Manager does not show Wireless connection

My 'Hub Manager' shows my Ethernet connected PC; my hub phone and the wireless connected printer.
My daughter has a new laptop which has wireless connection to my Hub. According to her laptop it is connected to my Hub and she has access to the internet.
However, my Hub Manager does not show her as connected to the Hub. The result of this means that she cannot connect to the wireless printer.
We have disconnected and re connected to no avail.
Any thoughts??? All help appreciated.
