My ipad keeps dropping off the internet unless it is beside the router.

I have tried in a friend's house but it does the same there, so it is an ipad problem not my router.
Tried turning everything off etc but no good.

Hello there, phillippa272.
Good job with testing on another network. The following Knowledge Base article offers some standard troubleshooting steps as well as some additional information, that you should find helpful:

  • Why does my generation 1 ipad keep dropping off

    Why does my ipad keep dropping off. It is generation 1.

    Dropping of of what - wifi? When you ask a question you need to provide enough info to get an answer.
    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 droping 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

  • Macbook Pro isn't connecting to the internet unless it's on the guest profile

    I recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro less than a week ago and I've never been able to connect it to the Internet on my log in. This is my first Mac and honestly I don't believe it was worth the price since I can not use the Internet on it. The only way I can use the Internet is if the computer is on the guest profile. If the computer is logged onto my account the Internet stops working on all the other devices in the household(2 laptops, 2 iPhones, and 2 iPads). I've tried everything possible to fix this problem and nothing helps. The closest apple store is over 100 miles away so it is out of the question to go into the store. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Your warranty includes 90 days of phone support. Call AppleCare. If you don't get satisfaction that way, return the unit for exchange or a full refund within 14 days of delivery.

  • My ipad keeps dropping my home network wifi signal, what is the problem?

    My ipad, iphone and apple tv all keep dropping the wifi signal from our wireless router, i have tried two different router and had our isp here to try to fix the problem with no success, what can be done?

    I have an IPad 1 that is dropping the connection multiple times a day.  There are multiple other devices in the house; 4 iPhones, pc and dell laptops, an IPad 2, etc. and they never drop.  Could it be that these devices are not intended to last past two years?  I am going to go to a factory reset.

  • Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available.  Apps trouble too.  Help?

    Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow.  There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download.  Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right.  When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I only bought the IPAD 2 in June! 

    Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately.  Thank you for any help you can give.

  • My 2 gen iPad keeps dropping my AirPlay connection with my 2 gen Apple TV. I just updated to iOS 8.1. Before the worked flawlessly. I love AirPlay. Also my iPhone 5s has the exact same issues with 8.1.

    My 02 gen iPad keeps dropping the AirPlay connection after several minutes of play. This happened after updating to iOS 8.1. This worked perfectly on my 2 gen Apple TV before the update. It is also doing the same thing on my iPhone 5s. I use AirPlay all the time. Please help.

    Greetings rdobbins01,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that AirPlay is not working as you would expect on either your iPhone or iPad. In this situation, I would suggest reading over and working through the information located in the attached article to help resolve this issue.

  • Why does the sound on my new iPad keep dropping out

    I have done some trouble shouting following a few threads but for some reason the sound on my new iPad keeps dropping out every min or so for afew seconds.  Tried to reboot the router and also reset wifi settings on the iPad. I am also having problems connecting to wifi intermitant as this may be it is frustrating.
    Is this a known issue and do apple have a fix?
    Thanks for any help

    No not at all if the music is downloaded only when using wifi

  • My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled.

    My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled. this was the diagnosis of the belkin router support tech, who spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with me. my service provider is new -- one link. (Apple does not provide tech support to puerto rico after the 90 day free service expires.)

    Read this for suggestions: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Especially note the section on using WEP security keys. In fact, if you are using WEP for security, change to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure. It can be cracked in seconds with widely available S/W.

  • HT1338 wifi connection keeps dropping off on macbook pro

    hi, i just bought a Macbook Pro 13" and find that the wifi connection on my Macbook keeps dropping off every few minutes. i have tried numerous measures suggested that i could find on the net but the problem still persists. i don't know if it has anything to do with the Norton Internet Security that i installed on the laptop. pls help. thanks.

  • Email in Inbox keeps dropping off.

    EMail in Inbox keeps dropping off.

    hi Robert,
    thanks a lot for your reply.
    here is the uplink port profile config:
    port-profile type ethernet HostUplink
      vmware port-group
      switchport mode trunk
      switchport trunk native vlan 1
      switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3967,4048-4093
      channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
      no shutdown
      system vlan 803,832,900-901
      state enabled
    803 is mgmt for both esx and vsm, 900 is control, 901 is packet.
    my NC553i driver version is different from what you suggested, it is 2.102.518.0, any reason why you suggest to use the version you specified?
    I have been trying to contact HP support, to be honest, not saying overall, but from my experience, they are much less helpful then Cisco support, I will keep trying.
    thanks

  • My ipad keeps shutting off and cannot restart immediately

    please help, my ipad keeps shutting off for no reason and will not come back on again unti it is ready.  at least 5 times now very frustrating.
    any suggestions?

    Damien.
    First, try to do a full backup—reset—restore of your iPad via iTunes. (a) Plug in and, if it doen't start automatically, run iTunes, (b) back up your iPad, (c) do a total reset, (d) restore this last backup.
    If this is enough, just go ahead and do it.
    Otherwise, do like me — dummy — and read the excerpt from Apple's KB below:
    --- Quote
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    (...)  You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    --- Unquote
    If this does not work, (and probably won't, but it's a 5-minute operation), then you should seek hardware assistance. If it's a brand (or almost) new iPad, go back to the shop and they will give you a new one, without much trouble... It use to happen with iPods and exchanging the product was routine in this shutoff—restart issue.
    Regards.
