Unusual wifi problem in my iPad

Hi,
I'm experiencing some weird trouble with my wifi, I looked here and online and haven't found anything similar. I find it even harder to explain it so I made a video:
http://youtu.be/6oK2eCn4OG0
It happened on the first time I used my iPad, literally the first time I turned it on. It also happened in different wifis.
Is temporary, after a few hours it works normally again.
Anyone experienced that? Is really annoying.
Thanks

No, it's for all the dorms. But the same thing happened at my house and also my girlfriends house. I did tried reseting the router but no luck. Is weird that I can use the internet on my iphone or my computer at the same time without problems

Wifi problems with new ipad

I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad. It is the wifi only, 64GB model. I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network. I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network. When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network. My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi.
I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question. I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem.
I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms.
Can anyone offer any advice here? This is quite frustrating.

No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

My iPad just stopped recognizing wifi, but my iPod and iPhone are working well. Does anyone else have a wifi problem with their iPads?

Today my iPad simply stopped recognizing the house network. I have an iPod Touch and iPhone4 that aren't having any problem with wifi.

First, try Airplane-Mode for 10 seconds. If this doesn't help, try resetting the network-configuration. This can be accomplished by heading to Settings --> General --> (at the very foot of the page) Reset --> Reset Network Settings. Then reboot iPad.
However, if all that didn't help, you can get to a near Apple Store, or, in case of functionality, there's still the guarantee.

Really weird WiFi problem with original iPad, please help!!!

Hey everyone so I recently inherited an original iPad from my uncle who stopped using it because of WiFi issues. Unfortunately he didn't do much to try to figure out the problem and there's no warranty on it but I'd really like to fix it!
The problem is that it doesn't display nearly any available networks under the WiFi settings, but it DOES seem to show and connect to unsecured networks (and works really well...I'm in a hotel typing on it right now). But at home, in the hotel room, at my uncles place, etc...no networks show up. Also I can't connect to them if I enter manually.
So far I've tried a hard reset, fully restoring, resetting network settings, and resetting all settings...I would take it to Apple but there's no warranty
Any ideas of how I can fix this potentially?
Thanks!

Is anyone having wifi problems on their iPad after downloading iOS8?

My mother has downloaded iOS8 onto her iPad3 and is now unable to get wifi on it. It keeps asking her for the wireless key but when she inputs it, the wifi icon appears at the top of the screen as usual then just as quickly disappears. Has anyone else experienced this and been able to solve it?

This is great news that everyone's WiFi are having issues after an iOS update!!!
Let me explain, and I hope someone from Apple really really looks and responds to this issue effecting everyone.
I updated my iPad2 to iOS 7.1 a few months back, and then I stopped getting WiFi when I'm more than 10 yards from my router at home. Tested in multiple WiFi networks, locations (in different countries even), and even went as far as changing the settings or shutting off any other airwave frequency devices at home (like 2.4 GHz handsfree phones, radios, tvs, PS3 wireless controllers, bluetooth signals). I even had my iPhone4 (iOS6) and iPhone 5S (on iOS7.1.2) as comparison since they have no issues. What I found out was, my iPad2 on iOS7.1 performs weakly on 2.4 GHz signals. 5.0 GHz much better. I don't mind replacing my old 2.4 GHz only router to one with 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz, but it won't solve the problem when I go to a network in the public (like airports where I frequent).
I went to the Apple Store 4 separate times (in 2 countries), to let them know about the situation. They could not do a distance test at the Apple store, because they are on the 2.4/5.0 routers. They did a diagnostic twice with the hardware, and everything checked out fine. So they began advising me to "Reset Network Settings" and even as far as "Reset All Settings"... basically started from a blank iPad2, nothing worked because I'm sure it was a iOS7.1 issue. I don't think they have 2 different pieces of WiFi receiver on the iPad2, and I am certain it is a software issue. Makes me think, did they purposely change settings to weaken the receiving of the 2.4 GHz signal? (That's just a civil lawsuit waiting to happen...)
I downloaded iOS8.0 on to my iPad2 hoping they fixed this WiFi issue that has already been a hot topic in these forums since iOS7, but of course the update failed to correct the problem. Right now, to me, it sounds more and more like an overlook iOS programming that maybe causing this WiFi issue, since it is also happening to people who upgraded to iOS8 and iOS8.0.1 for many different type of devices (even on brand new iPhone6). An WiFi only iPad2 that can't receive WiFi is very close to being a brick. Is not a good feeling bringing your iPad2 to the airport to find out it won't pick up a signal.
I'm no computer expert, but if you can tweak your router to broadcast stronger on one signal via software (b/n/g/ac, or 2.4 vs 5.0 GHz), I'm sure something can be done with the receiver? Apple, if you are reading this, please do something!!! This isn't just an iOS8 issue... it has been an issue since iOS7 but no one in the Apple world believes it is an issue. And now I hope you can see from all these postings about WiFi issue, you have to believe that it may be a software/programming issue. If the software somehow created a hardware/firmware issue, then replace our hardware/firmware please.
Perhaps Tim Cook should get this message maybe he will respond better. What's his email address? #TimCook. #Apple. #iPadTurningInToABrick #FixtheWiFiPlease

Strange macbook pro wifi problems - selective wifi disconnection

I have 3 macbook pros, two iphones and an apple TV. My primary macbook pro has some very unusual wifi problems that are hard to pin down. It frequently disconnects and reconnects itself to the internet constantly throughout the day. I've been testing it in various ways and today I noticed the strangest anomaly by far.
While working today, my primary macbook pro could not connect to the internet through any of the 3 browsers I use. Airport Utility said the internet was down (internet icon was amber, airport icon was green). However during this disconnection, my p2p application (Soulseek) experienced no disruption of service and continued to download files. I opened my second macbook pro and strangely enough, the 2nd mac was able to connect to the internet through browsers without issue, and the airport utility on the 2nd macbook pro said the internet was connected. My Apple TV was connected too as well as my iPhone.
It is often difficult for me to troubleshoot network problems because there are so many variables (ISP, airport assembly, airport base station, OSX, airport utility, modem) but I guess in this particular instance, it seems clear that the problem has something to do with my macbook pro.
My primary macbook has always had wifi problems (and honestly, my last macbook--the one that actually worked today!--had similar issues back when it was my primary laptop). Last week, my primary macbook pro had the topcase, display and logic board replaced by Apple. When it came back, it had the same wifi connectivity issues it always had. Often, a restart will be a very temporary fix, but not always.
I am at a complete loss for what could be causing these lapses in service. In fact, right now as I was trying to access these forums, I could not even get my primary macbook to open the Apple Support Site on any browser. Every other website would open, except Apple Support. I opened my 2nd laptop and it opened Apple Support just fine. After 15 minutes, my primary laptop finally opened up an Apple support page in Firefox.
It is really hard to diagnose the problem. I find that Airport Utility has been so pared down and streamlined to the point that it is worthless. It is basically a blank window with 2 application logos inside. It looks very simple and user friendly until it has a problem, and then it tells me to do something very technical without an explanation for the layman (such as assigning DNS servers or putting the airport in Bridge mode). I always follow Airport Utility's advice, but I still have odd problems. I am often confused as to whether I should use Airport Utility or the Network button in System Preferences. They have the same options, but they're arranged under tabs with different titles.
Anyway, does anyone recognize these macbook pro wifi connectivity problems? Constant wifi disconnection on one machine (while all others experience no connection problems) coupled with instances of selective disconnection (like browsers not connecting while p2p is able to connect or browser connecting to some sites but not all?)
Thanks for any help or guidance
PRIMARY MACBOOK PRO
2014 Retina Macbook Pro 15" OSX 10.9.4

SECONDARY MACBOOK PRO

Same exact issue here. It happened once when I updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. It just happened again last night and I can't seem to fix it.
I tried all sorts of things like deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, PRAM, SMC, DNS flush, etc. Nothing helped. As I recall, the last time it happened it mysteriously fixed itself after a day or two.
Very weird problem. I have been troubleshooting computers my whole life but this one is tough to figure out. Other machines in the house connect up just fine.

I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model: MC774C/A; IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329).
While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca. The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada). (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.) Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi. During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine. I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house. I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at. I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Wifi problems ipad 3rd and Time capsule 4th generation since iOS 8 upgrade

Does anyone have the same issue?... I have wifi problems betwen ipad 3rd generation and Time capsule 4th generation since iOS 8 upgrade. Solution: I must switch on/off airplane mode in order to start using Wifi...
I have the latest updates for all equipment and I don't have similar problems with my iphone, macbook or mini-ipad.

It works ... removing and reestablish the wifi connection works. Thanks ...

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand. Can I fix this problem?

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.
Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
