Try #5 below.
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

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router? -
my apple tv is disconnected from the wifi intermittently, the problem is not the wifi as it only happens to the apple tv. that I can do to fix this problem.-
That doesn't rule out a network issue, as it can impact devices differently. Intermittent issues are most often related to wifi issues. Try connecting via ethernet. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Connect to a network printer for air print, after disconnect from the wifi iphone keep pop up a message saying the printer is offline. How do I disable this annoying message?
Hey ronniefai,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
Viewing the Print Summary
You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.
via AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I recently upgraded my Ipod touch 4th gen to ios 6 and I try to set up my wifi and it shows that its connected then the apple page comes up and it disconnects from my wifi.
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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 network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -
IOS software was froze when the electricity went off and it was disconnected from the wifi
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
I shut the lid and go to open the lid and the wifi is disconnected and the only way to connect to the wifi is to turn it off then back on and connect to my wifi. This is the only wifi that it happens with.
Hello strubthepigeon
Check out the article below for that particular issue. I have also highlighted on what to do to troubleshoot the issue.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
▪ After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
▪ After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password". Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.

My iPhone 3GS has begun receiving mysterious alarms, similar to push notification alarms -but I've turned all the notifications off. When these two alarms go off my phone cuts its connection to the wifi. In order to reconnect I have to turn the wifi connection off then back on again. It's irritating! Any ideas why and what I can do to correct it.

What should I do if my iPad disconnects from my wifi while updating the software?

Every since new os my ipad disconnects from my wifi over and over

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Best of luck,

What can i do to fix it? My husband suggests I reset my phone but I'm afraid my data will be wiped off an that would be of total waste if the problem doesn't even get solved. Your help would be much appreciated!
There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). If you have jailbroken it, you have exposed yourself to malware, and should restore the phone to factory defaults, without restoring a backup. All data will be lost, but that is unavoidable.
Most likely, you haven't jailbroken it, in which case you don't have to worry about malware. In that case, it's hard to say what's going on, but there are some things you can try.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced. -
Why does my airport express keep dissconnecting from the wifi it's extending?
Ok, so I have a airport express (latest gen) that is extending wifi from a time capsule. The problem is that at least once a day the airport disconnects from the wifi it's extending and I have to unplug it and plug it back in like 5 times before it starts working again. The error messages I keep getting from airport utility when it disconnects is "no dns server", "internet connection" and " wireless network" all with yellow circles next to them. Please help if you can. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also, when it disconnects the light on the front flashes amber (yellow).It's almost a miracle that it was working at all.
Each wall will absorb on average, about 15-20% of the signal so after 4 walls...and a ceiling....which is typically 2-3 time thicker than a wall....there isn't going to much signal left to extend.
Try locating the Express no more than half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area upstairs that needs more wireless coverage. Minimize obstructions in the signal path as much as possible.
If that does not help, we'll have to do some SNR measurements to see if what you are trying to do is even feasible. -
Hi I want to buy a WIFI+3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get it shipped to a relative in the US to bring it down to Sri Lanka. My question is, is the iPad 2 unlocked to be used with any carrier worldwide or will i have to unlock it myself? Or is there any way to purchase a iPad 2 without selecting a specific US carrier?
Thanks,
MilindaiPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but only the AT&T version uses micro-sim cards - the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards, so for that reason is effectively locked. With the AT&T version you should be able to just swap in a local micro-sim - you don't have to activate a service with AT&T
