PAD DISCONNECTS FROM WIFI AFTER A SHORT TIME HARD RESTART IS REQUIRED TO CONNECT AGAIN

MY IPAD NEEDS TO BE HARD RESTARTED EVERYTIME BEFORE I CAN ACCESS MY WI FI ANY IDEAS?

Since I updated to iOS 5.1 my iPad (1st gen) disconnects from WiFi network after 30 minutes. I did a full system restore with iOS 5.1 and the problem persists.
How to replicate:
Disable auto-lock
Connect to wifi network
Open an app that continuously does network activityYou might for example run a shoutcast webradio streaming app and start listening to some music
Leave the iPad running and turned on
After approx 30 minutes wifi drops and your music app stops the stream
This happens to me every time, after approximately 30 minutes, with either the iPad on USB charge or disconnected from charge.
Used to run apps connected to wifi regularly for hours and never had this problem before the upgrade to 5.1
I already tried to:
Restore network settings
Completely wipe and restore iPad to 5.1
Reboot wifi router
My router is a Netgear 834 G
try updating your router firmware http://support.netgear.com/app/products/family/a_id/1288

  • My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep.  When waking it up I have to manually re-connect.  How do I keep it connected?

    My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep.  When waking it up I have to manually re-connect.  How do I keep it connected?

    I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
    This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
    Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
    It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
    Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
    Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
    And a sidenote...
    Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
    That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.

    Hello psadana,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommend reviewing the full article but steps in the section labeled "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" specifically stand out to me for the issue you described:

  • Air play in Apple Tv disconnects with no reason, and I need to restart the router to connect again. Meanwhile apple tv is connected to wi if. Can somebody help?

    Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?

    I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages.  My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm.  The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it.  It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.   

  • 5-yr-old Macbook disconnects from wifi after 2 minutes -- why?

    Starting about 2 months ago, my 5-year-old black Macbook (running Mac OS X 10.4.11) has barely been connecting via wifi. It seems to be able to connect to private networks it's familiar with if it is literally within 5-10 feet of the router. Otherwise, it will connect at full strength for up to about 2 minutes, and then suddenly without any warning dips down to one bar, and then promptly disconnects completely, does not detect any networks. If I restart the computer it will go through the same pattern. Is this a hardware problem related to age? A software problem related to uninstalled updates? A virus? Thanks for your help.

  • 10.4.8 continuous disconnects from wifi + rediculous pings

    No, I dont use coconutWiFi. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to wait for apple to release proper patches?
    mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    My machine doesnt forget the keys for wifi or any of the other issues describes in what you are refering to. It just keeps disconnecting all the time and the pings are through the roof. Noone can tell me that pings > 1sec are normal, ap is in the same room as the computer, besides wifi works just fine for my linux computer and so it did for my mbp before 10.4.8. That being sad i tried the instructions and it didnt change anything for me.

  • I can´t delete files in trash. It stops after a short time undone. What can I do?

    I can´t delete files in trash . It stops after a short time undone.
    What can I do? There are 52 files in trash, but if I click the button "sure empty" it shows 11.313 files to delete .
    I would be very greatful for your help!

    Stronger medicine may be needed, but try this first
    Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
    Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
    Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

  • Ipad mini ios6 disconnects from wifi

    Ipad mini disconnect from wifi while sleep. How will find my ipad work when it disconnects in like 5 minutes? Help please.

    Hi,
    My iPad mini connects to wifi and works fine till the time I browse on it continuously. However once I type long messages or leave it alone without browsing it gets disconnected from wifi...looks like a bug because it again starts to work sometimes when I switch on or off wifi button.
    Giving me a tough time.

  • Cover flow: the cover area turns black or white after a short time

    Hi
    Does anyone know why my iTunes has begun turning the area, where the covers usually are placed, into complete black and sometimes complete white? When iTunes skips to the next track, it shows the covers again - for a short time - and then usually turns into black again. It also show me the cover flow, if I just go into iTunes again (you know, if I've been surfing on the internet, and then later go into iTunes again)
    I have a rather huge library (~115 gb), but I have never had any issues like this before. iTunes is updated and so is my graphic driver. I'm using Vista 32bit.
    Best regards
    Jon

    Well I updated to 8.2 and the same issue remained so went ahead and removed ALL Apple related components, Bonjour, Quicktime, iTunes etc. and redownloaded package and reinstalled... Everything works fine EXCEPT I still have the same issue with coverflow going black after a while (basically showing the black background only). Clicking into the area brings back the coverflow... it's like it's going into the background... Quite odd. Not really a big deal but none the less annoying!
    This is the only app experiencing anything similar. Tested with 4 different NVidia video driver versions from 179.x onward and it is consistent so I doubt OpenGL as it was working fine before. I'm stumped! My guess is Apple coders need to force the Cover flow to stay in the foreground and or return to it. Oddly, this issue is easy for me to reproduce, When Windows shutsdown the screen and it comes back after a record switch almost always the coverflow will be gone.

  • TS1538 My iTunes, after a short time, decides not to be able to recognize my devices, the only thing that fixes it is a re-install of itunes. it is getting irritating as this will be the 7th time i have had to do it. Any solutions?

    The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
    But check iTunes back ups:

    Mac

  • Firefox stops working after a short time of running, I keep getting a Net Error message

    I am very frustrated with Firefox! I can load firefox fine in the morning, but after a short time it quits working & I get a Net Error message. I notice it most on Facebook! When I click like, it won't do nothing but sut there working, if open in a new tab, I get the net error message. I try to open other websites & get the net error message. I checked & I am running the latest version. I am running fine on IE, but I like Firefox! I've been using it for years with no problems, but after an update is when I started experiencing problems. I waited thinking, firefox will fix it with another update, but no fix! I am running Windows 7 on a Gateway computer & have had no problems with older versions of Firefox. I'm sending all this information via Internet Exployer since Firefox won't work!

  • Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

    Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

    Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
    It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

  • Disconnect from WiFi Button in Yosemite (Faster File Transfers via Airdrop)

    Hi all! Just thought I'd share a great new pro-tip I found that's pretty handy.
    Sometimes file transfers through a complex or busy network with a  (think hotel lobby or coffee shop), Airdrop file transfers can run extremely slow vs. it going from computer to computer via no network (Ad Hoc). I was determined to find a work around for disconnecting from a WiFi network without turning off Wifi.
    Anyways, Yosemite introduced a much asked for feature - The disconnect from WiFi button! Just hold down option while you select the WiFi indicator on the menu bar and click disconnect! Your WiFi will continue to be on and it simply won't connect to that network again. If you now search for other computers in AirDrop, it will find them and be a much faster computer to computer connection.

    Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Test Markup in Mail using the iCloud account.
    Continue testing to see what works in the new User.
    Do you still see the issue?
        If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
        If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
    Finder - my iMac name is - iMacs iMac. All of a sudden it become iMacs iMac (2) and latter iMacs iMac (6). What are these numbers ?
    In System Preferences > Sharing you can see name. When Finder adds a number it indicates it's seeing another drive with the same name. You can select to rename but this could also be an indication of issues at the base level.
    Do you have an external drive that could be used to clone your drive in case you need to do a clean install?
