My apple new apple ipad wifi connectivity is poor

hi presently iam using latest ipad. i observed its wifi connectivity is poor. when try to connect ipad via wifi it is taking lot of time some times not getting coneect if the signal is poor, while my laptop, my phone and my ipod were connecting very fast. is their any solution.

If your router is dual-band, try ensuring that the SSID is different for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz one.
If sounds like your other devices which have no issue would all be 2.4GHz only.
If this is the case, try updating your router firmware - latest can firmware can make it easier for dual-band devices to connect firmly to the router without 'hunting' between signals of similar strength from the two bands from the same router.

IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
3. It's not the router problem.
4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
Thank you for reading this and have a great day

Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
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 (Auto or Channel 6 is best). 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.

Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers

I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router. My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue. I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G. Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update. Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well. I can see the network just cant connect to it.

TS1398 Still having problems with my ipad wifi connection since upgrading to IOS 6. Can Apple do something about it the soonest possible time. I don't have this kind of problem using IOS 5.1.1 Can you at least put back the 5.1.1 if you cant find a solut

So disappointed with IOS 6. I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it. Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?

Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed. Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade. Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

HT204291 I am trying to connect my new Apple TV to a wifi connection at a hospital. This apple tv connects at home but is unable to at hospital bc of a web page authentication agreement page. All of my iOS devices are connected.

I cannot connect my apple tv to the wifi bc of the web page authentication. When signing my other iOS devices on the network an immediate web page pops up with a user agreement to check and agree. How can I do this with the new apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately that isn't possible with the Apple TV, the Apple TV does not have a web browser.

My Apple TV loses/regains wifi connection every 10seconds.

Installed my Apple tv yesterday, connected with my wifi, and everything worked fine.
Now Apple TV gets/loses the wifi connection approx. every 10 seconds.
Got other devices using same wifi without probs, both IOS (iPhone/iPad/Macbook) , android phones and pc.
Maybe something with the router configuration, but as said other IOS devices works excellent with wifi connection.
Anyone got a clue what could be causing this?
Regards K Hartvig

Are you literally unplugging it or just putting it to sleep?

IPad wifi connection password not memorized !

Every time I turn on my iPad I have to re-type the password !!! All my other devices work fine, so definitely it's an iPad problem.
Apple, do you read these messages? Any software updates coming soon to fix this major issue?

Actually Apple doesn't read these messages. These are user-to-user forums.
To report a problem to Apple visit http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html or contact Apple support.
Perhaps someone could offer some help if you gave some details of the specifics of you problem, i.e., router make and model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2), WiFi type 802.11g or n, etc.
The iPad should automatically connect to known networks. Note that for most iPad users this is the case. If you search these forums you will find many posts about having to re-enter WiFi passwords see also Apple trouble shooting guide 3304 - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304

IPad wifi connection help

I just spent 15 minutes holding and 20 or more minutes on the phone speaking to incompetent tech help people two days in a row. They asked the same questions and went through the same useless steps trying to get my iPad's wifi to work. Nothing worked and neither tech even remotely understood that it was a Verizon problem not an iPad problem (connected fine to 3 outside networks). Finally I just hung up and reset my router to factory specs. Miracle! that worked! Needless to say that I am totally underwhelmed by Verizon's tech help.

Thanks for your input but WPA2 worked (barely) with my MB air, the connection was iffy. It did NOT however work with my iPad 2 and THREE Verizon techs could not fix it. So, until someone comes up with a solution for that I will stay with factory settings.
Maybe it would be worthwhile bringing your iPad to the genius bar to see if an Apple tech might have a clue what the problem is.
For whatever it is or isn't worth, I have an Actiontec Rev I router set to WPA2. All our devices connect with no problem, including an iPad2, MacBook Pro with Mavericks, an iPhone 5 and a 5s and a couple of Windows 7 machines. Frequent guests' devices also connect with no problem.

My IPad wifi connection goes on and off several times a day. Wha is the problem, My IPad wifi connection goes on and off several times a day. Wha is the problem

My IPad wifi and Internet connection goes on and off. But when I being my IPad to other homes, it works. What's wrong?

Try this
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
Then rejoin the wifi.
If this does not work try this
Settings->WI-FI->The wifi name->Forget this Network
Then rejoin the wifi.
If this does not work try this
press the home button and lock until you see the apple logo.
I hope this works ;-)

IPad Wifi connection speed

I checked my Airport Extreme stats to se what my new iPad is connecting at, I was very disappointed to se it connects at only 39Mbs. Even my gen1 iPod touch connects at 54MBs and my Macbook over 100Mbs. I verified my speed on a Time capsule with the same results.
What are others seeing?
Joe

For those that are seeing problems, did you make sure your FW is up to date on the AEBS?
If you have a Mac click Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility. You should see your base-station in there and there will be a button that says update firmware. Click that and make sure it's up to date, then report back.
I suspect that could be one potential reason if the iPad is not seeing any throughput issues only reporting the wrong number. What you are saying would suggest to me it's not the iPad HW, but potentially the SW of either the iPad or AEBS. But if I was a betting man, I'd say it's older FW on the airport, since the client will connect to whatever it's told to connect to. The AEBS would control what it should connect to.

IPad update to 4.3.5 wifi connection very poor

Apple Airport Express - drops wifi connections after a day or two.....??

Dear Users,
Can anyone assist me, I have 2 Apple Airport Express recievers and an Apple TV2 connected to my iMac. The Apple TV is connected via ethernet and a gigabit switch via the BT Infinity Router. The 2 Apple Airport Expresses are connected via wiresles to the BT router.
Everything works fine, music streams perfectly most of the time.
But after 24-48 hours of being dorment the Router seems to drop the wireless connections to the Apple Airport Expresses, if you reboot the router they connect again immediatley. I have adjusted the router settings to 802.1n, instead of 802.1n/b/g, which seemed to work better for a few days and the connection never dropped and now the problem has started again.
Frankly its not the end of the world, but it means I have to reboot the router everytime we want to use all zones for music, which when you have a wife that moans that 'my setup is too complicted and has to be rebooted everytime', it would be great to resolve this for once and all.....
Have a I missed something simple or do I need a new router/Airport Extreme?
Thanks in advance
Matt

The whole idea here is to test by first powering off your "extending" AirPort.
Then, take a measurement with your laptop at the location of the "extending" AirPort.....to see what quality of signal that it is receiving. Remember, it can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
You would want to see a minimum SNR of 25 at the location of your "extending" AirPort Express. Higher would be better. If it is less than 25, you need to move the "extending" Express closer to the "main" router so that it will receive a better quality signal to extend.
Once you have a location with a decent SNR of 25 or higher, then power the "extending" Express back up at that location.
