Netgear WPN824 v3 connectivity problem

I have a Netgear WPN824 v3 wireless G router, and I'm having serious issues getting my MacBook to stay connected to it. It is about a one year old MacBook, and it will connect to the wireless network but drops its connection usually after anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes. Sometimes closing the browser and reopening fixes it, and other times a router power off is required to restore function. My other laptop, running Windows Vista, has no problems with connecting and staying connected, so I am positive it is not an issue with the router (I also spent 30 minutes on the phone with a Netgear rep yesterday, and he gave up on me and told me to take it up with Apple). Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Yep - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro and my iMac. All firmware and software is up to date- running 10.5.5 OS X. There is definately a problem that Apple has to address when it comes to WPA-2 and these routers and Airport. Switch to ol' WPA, and you should be OK

  • Netgear WPN824 on mixed iMac and PC network

    I purchased a Netgear WPN824 router for use with a PC laptop and iMac.
    My iMac recognised the SSID of the router but on enetering the WEP Hex key I got an error.
    The only way I could solve this problem was to switch the router from 'Auto 108' mode to 'b and g' mode. This means I no longer can get a 108Mbps connection with my laptop. The 'Auto 108' mode is supposed to switch between 108, g and b mode automatically so I thought it should work with my PC in 108 mode whilst still making a connection with my iMac but it appears not.
    Has anyone got the router working in Auto 108 mode with an iMac or is it just fundamentally incompatable?

    Has anyone got the router working in Auto 108 mode with an iMac or is it just fundamentally incompatable?
    It is not part of the standard and therefore not supported by Apple. You need to disable it.

  • WPA2 and Netgear WPN824

    Has anybody had any problems with WPA2 security on the MacBook Pro? I switched my wireless network over to WPA2 from WEP tonight, and my G4 Mac Mini and Wii connected with no problems. However, the MBP will join the network with no outbound connectivity. Within the network, connectivity is spotty, and I have not yet been able to make an Internet connection. Anyone have any experience with this? The router is a Netgear WPN824.

    I grabbed that update as soon as I saw it was available, and was really hoping it was going to take care of this - but sadly, I still have the same problem

  • Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

    I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well. 
    BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
    The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
    But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
    This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
    1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub  is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
    2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
    3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
    4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
    5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
    6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation  has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a  Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
    file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
     Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
    7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
    Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
    Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
    I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
    Above all though: I'm  really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
    If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
    1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
    2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
    3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
    4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
    5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
    6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
    7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
    8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
    9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
    I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
    Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in  what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

  • HP Deskjet 460 wireless printer connection problem

    I just replaced my Airport Extreme (pre-n) with a Time Capsule. My HP Deskjet 460 WiFi printer no longer connects through wireless. However, configuring the Time Capsule wireless mode to "802.11g/b only" (i.e. no 802.11n) resolves the connection problem.
    Any suggestion on how to get the printer to connect with 802.11n enabled?
    Thanks in advance,
    - gael

    I also have an HP 460wbt and have similarly replaced my old airport base station with the TC. Without any wireless security the printer connected fine - but couldn't get connection using WPA or WEP. I've tried every combination I can - but have gone back to reconnecting the airport base station alongside the TC with bridging to the ADSL netgear modem I use. This seems a bit like overkill but I just can't get the WPA on the printer to work with the WPA personal options of the TC. Have you any ideas on this one?

  • IPad 2 Wi-fi connection problems

    I am lately encountering this problem with my internet wi-fi connection. It keeps dropping the signal. When I go to Settings to re-connect, it demands the password everytime. After entering the password, every single time there is the message: "Failure to connect" and on the second re-try it works. When I come home after work, the iPad does not automatically connects to the wi-fi. I have to connect it myself everyday then enter the password again and again.
    After the connection, I can use my apps that require the internet (until the signal drops again) but there are no notifications from my apps. At the same time, I connected to the 3G internet and all my notifications appeared which were supposed to appear when I connected to the wi-fi. I have the iPad on recharge every night. The next morning when I check my notifications, most of them appeared at the same time (when the wi-fi was working fine). For example, I had a game update that such and such thing is ready 46 minutes ago when it should have been 3 hours before.
    Someone suggested to try the "Forget this network" but there is no improvement.
    To fix this, I have tried to restart the iPad. I have reset the network settings. Nothing helps
    In short,
    1) I have to enter password every time I connect
    2) Signal keeps dropping
    3) The notifications don't appear all the time from the internet apps. The real time notifications come intermittently or when I connect to 3G, they come instantly.

  • Weird Laptop Wireless Connection Problem

    I have an HP DV6 6C16NR i7-2670QM laptop and am having a very annoying wireless internet connection problem.
    I'll connect fine to my home network, but if I restart and try to connect again, it won't. The only way to fix it, is if I change the channel on my router. And then it'll repeat itself. 
    Any idea what's going on here? Must be some sort of proxy/memory type problem?
    Using Netgear WNDR3700 with only 2.4ghz enabled. Lots of other wireless devices in our home connects without any issues at all. ie. cellphones (4), wireless alarm clock, IP cams (2) and a netbook.
    Is this a hardware issue that I should warranty?

    Hello ThaiM69,
    I'm not sure if you have Windows 7 or 8.  Please take a look at this page and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help to resolve your connection issue.
    Good luck!

  • Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

    I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
    Problems include:
    - Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
    - Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
    - Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
    - Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
    However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
    So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
    1. Reset modem, router, and computer
    2. Delete caches, reset Safari
    3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
    4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
    None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

    Same thing here.
    I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
    -Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
    -usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
    -when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
    My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
    I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
    Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
    Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

  • Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

    Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems). 
    Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
    I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
    This week things have become considerably worse.
    I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
    There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
    I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
    The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
    I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple. 
    I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
    Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
    BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
    Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
    That's all for starters.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!

    I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
    welcome to the forum
    This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
    if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • Netgear used to connect fine, now, who knows??

    Hi all,
    I have a G4 graphite iBook clamshell and a few years ago bought a Netgear WGR614 to connect to it wirelessly via my cable modem.
    Connected it, worked fine, no problems...but a few weeks ago I went to a friend's house with my iBook, used their wireless (no problems) and now my iBook won't stay connected to my Netgear at home.
    The Airport is on but not connected; I can fiddle with the settings and sometimes, through sheer luck, it'll connect, but if I put the computer to sleep and turn it back on, it drops the signal.
    The iBook sees the Netgear, it just won't connect. When I try to connect manually it asks for the password (passkey). I type it in and am told "there was an error connecting with the selected Airport network".
    If it connects, it stays connected; but if I shut the computer off or put it to sleep, it disconnects.
    Any ideas? It worked just fine before...
    Thanks!

    Well check out this review:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-wgr614-54-mbps/4505-3319_7-21218238.html
    (sorry too lazy to do tiny URL)
    Read the first two reviews. Go to the Netgear Forum. Sounds like a lot of people are having trouble with that model.
    You could hit a bunch of free wi-fi places and verify that's not your iBook.
    I just had a client with the same problem and I researched the wireless router they had, same thing, replaced it, problem gone.

  • TS1398 Connection problems with iPad 2

    I have an iPad 2. It connected with my wi-fi network for weeks without a problem but now will not connect at all. It always comes up with "unable to connect with "name of router/Wi-Fi""
    The iPad connects well with other networks and my friends ipad connects well with my network, so the network is not a problem. It is just my iPad2 with my network. I have reset the router and the iPad. I have tried everything I can think of. Re-entered the network with checked settings (that work on my friends iPad 3) Updated all the softwear as neccessary Any help would be gratefully appreciated as even going in to our local Apple dealer did not get me anywhere, they connected instantly with their network.

    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)

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Internet connectivity problems. Conflicting IP address?

    For the last few months I have been experiencing significant internet connection problems on my mac mini. Although at times my connection is ok, the majority of the time I'm suffering from what would best be described as an "intermittent" internet connection. It seems that my internet connection is constantly cutting out for short periods of time before re-establishing itself.
    I'm connected to the internet via a wireless network (netgear router). There are also two windows machines (one laptop and one desktop) and a PS3 connected on the same network (also occasionally there is a macbook connected to the network too).
    I've been with the same ISP for over a year now and previously had always experienced a good connection, also all the other devices connected on this network seem to have fine connectivity so I doubt there is any problem with my service provider.
    It could be a coincidence but the emergence of the problem seems to have conincided with my flatmates purchase of a laptop. When my flatmate first connected his laptop to the internet I received a message on my mac mini stating there was an IP address conflict, although I have not had that message again and I seem to suffer from bad connectivity at all times, not just when my flatmates laptop is turned on! Could these to issues be related?
    I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to resolve this issue as it's getting to be a very significant problem, thanks in advance for any replies...

    Also try using the open dns servers instead or your ISP's. System Preferences>Network. Advanced>DNS. Click on + and add the following: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Hit Ok,then Apply.

  • Gaming Connection Problem.......already an angry B...

    As the title may suggest im already an angry customer of BT's having to wait around about 2 months for them to sort out our phone line to even recieve a dial tone. Now we have broadband which in itself is a mirracle. Anyway.....
    Im a casual gamer (pc games - Bad Company 2) and have been for a long time. My problem is that im playing away and then i get dropped from the game because of connection problems etc. I believe this is called a connection Spike?
    I've never had any problems with previous ISP's ive  been with (Eclipse, 02). my question is really...before i contact BT on Saturday....is theres any point????... is there something BT can do about this to make the connection stable...because really......this is becomming a bit of a joke...problem after problem...when we can leave BT....we will be.
    Cheers,
    Andy

    check your NAT type before changing the UPNP settings.
    If it turns out your NAT type is the problem give you PC a static IP address.

  • E61i WIFI connection problem "No Gateway Reply"

    Hi, I've just bought my brand new E61i. Everything's working perfectly except connecting to my home WLAN.
    My Home WLAN has the following setup:
    - SSID: Hidden (no broadcast)
    - Encryption: WEP (64bit)
    - Wireless Router: Netgear
    I have no problem configuring all my mobile devices (e.g. PDA, Palm, laptop,etc) but just fail to setup the WIFI access in the E61i.
    Can someone help me on this?
    Thanks.
    Leo

    Hey Leo,
    check this if it works..
    Click: Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless LAN
    Click: Options -> Advanced settings
    At this point there is a message about this being not recommended (I accept no responsibility)
    Automatic Configuration -> Disabled
    Then change the Power Saving to Disabled

  • TS1398 Connectivity problem in Ipad

    Hi Friends,
    When Am connecting my Ipad to wifi, entire connection is lost, ie all those who have connected through that particular router is loosing the connectivity..everytime I have to restart the router after 3-4 times , connection will be stable for some time. This problem persist everytime I switch on my Ipad (Same happens when my friend also switch on his Ipad). Please do help to fix this issue.

    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
