Wifi connection drops on all apple devices

I have a linksys WRT120N router that i use to access the internet from (usually) a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3.
I have absolutely no problems connecting to the internet from any of the computers (all PCs) or the PS3. On all of the Apple products, however, the wifi signal drops every 15 seconds or so. It will be working fine, then all of a sudden the signal will just be gone and I have to go into the wireless settings page and reselect our wifi network to reaccess it.
The router is fully up to date on the firmware and is relatively new. Anyone have any possible fixes?

This is what i hate ive already posted 2 disscusions about this and its falling on deaf ears.
i have apple tv, ipods, iphone 3gs and 4. imac and Ipad 1 and 2 using my wireless router supplied from Virgin Media.   its 50meg broadband with the super hub.
before i get a smart arse reply............i had the same issue with Skys crappy broadband router........so its obvious its an issue with apples software/hardware.

    Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
    Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
    I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
    I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
    Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
    Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

    This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T.  This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.
    Android has a limiting feature, why can't the "smart" guys at Apple learn from this??

  • Works but not x2 iPad2.  WiFi network is the same for printer and all Apple devices.  Help.

    We are unable to print from ipad2 using Epson Artisan 730 printer.  Software download to Macbook was successful but unable to download software to x2 iPad2.  All Apple devices are on the same WiFi.  I followed the Epson instructions but message box pops up stating Safari unable to download file.  Any suggestions.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPad and iPad 2 using iOS do not use the same software as your Mac using OS X.
    They are entirely different operating systems.
    Look in the iPad Apps Store for Epson iPrint app for iPad. It is free.
    The Artisan 730 is one of the printers the app supports, so this app should allow you to print from your iPad.
    If you're looking from the Mac side, open iTunes, and the iTunes Store, then the App Store, and search for Epson iPrint for iPad

    Hey X300X,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,

  • Cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes.

    Hi All
    I cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes. Initially after connecting the device I would receive an unable to sync error, but I have since reinstalled iTunes and when I connect either my iPhone (I have an iPhone 5 and an iPhone5s, both of which happily connected in the past) or iPad mini, iTunes does not even see the devices (the devices are listed under preferences).
    My iOS is up to date on all devices and I have tried different USB ports and cables, but no difference.
    I am running WIndows 8 with all updates to date. I have Vipre Security, but turning off the firewall makes no difference and I can see that all Apple connections are available and not blocked. I have checked Apple Mobile Device and stopped and started services
    I haven't been able to connect for almost a month now, so would appreciate some help.
    I have already contacted support and was given information on how to check my WifI connection - not particularly useful!
    DJ

    but I have since reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Why is my WiFi connection dropping as soon as I walk out of the room where my router is located? Running OSX 10.6.8

    Why is my WiFi connection dropping as soon as I walk out of the room where my router is located? Running OSX 10.6.8
    Had ISP provider here multiple times. They switched out the router/modem on 4 occasions. They ran new fiber optic cables to my house. They sent a PC tech here with a Mac, and he was able to get a strong wireless connection, but mine, he said, was "weak."
    I called Apple support. They had me remove the battery and clear the PRAM. It didn't help.
    There's no point in having a wireless connection if I cannot walk 20 feet away from the router without losing the connection.
    Do I need a new Airport Extreme card?
    How much would it cost to get one, and what is the process of getting it installed? (no longer under warranty)
    Deb Goonan

    My ISP replaced my router FOUR times. I don't think that's the problem.
    We already tried chanign the channel multiple times, channels 1, 6, 11 and even 9 and 4
    No luck

  • Potential Fix to the WiFi connection dropping on MacBook Pro

    I, along with a number of other people who have posted here, was experiencing WiFi connection drops after a few minutes on my brand new MacBook Pro, which is running OS X 10.7.5. Rather than going the route of plugging in a static IP address, I decided to look at other options within the Network Preferences. Under "Advanced," I went to the TCP/IP tab and set "Configure IPv6" to "Link-local only." By default it is set to "Automatically." The WiFi connection has not dropped since that change was made. It may not fix all the issues being experienced, but it might help at least some people having the disconnect issue.

    Nice post, thanks!

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

  • Are all Apple devices chargers the same, or do iPads use different chargers

    Are all Apple devices use the same chargers iPhone4, iPhone5s and iPad3 and 4 with retina the same?

    Hi Ralph Landry1
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    The iPad use a 12W USB Power Adaptor.
    Where as the iPhones use a 5W USB Power Adaptor.
    The iPod Touches use either a 5W USB Power Adaptor or they can run off a iPod USB Power Adaptor.
    The difference in the Watts can be found in the bottom of the adaptor (it will say 5W, 12W or iPod)
    All iPhones and iPods can run off the 5W or iPod Adaptor.
    However for the iPad to be sufficiently charged in needs the 12W charger (hence sometime when plugged into a computer it will say 'iPad is not charging') The iPad needs the 12W to charge - this takes 5hrs otherwise.
    The iPad charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=3c
    The iPhone charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=48
    Apple no longer sells the iPod USB Power adaptor and as such the iPods now just run off the 5W charger here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=74
    The chargers have changed shape over the years yet the old ones will still do the same job.
    Many Thanks and Enjoy charging!

  • Wifi Connection drops but still have all bars. Please Apple, respond us

    I have a macbook pro 13''(purchased 1 month), a white macbook (bought in 2007) and a dell vostro 1310 (with windows 7) using the same router WRT54G2 Linksys or D-link 524
    Only on my macbook pro 13''my connection drops without explanation and without a certain period (15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours).
    I'm with latest updates (both macbook as a router), already formatted and applied the 10.6.4 combo. I have already put ip manually turned off DHCP, DNS already placed manually, I swapped the channel router. Everything recommended in official forums, but nothing helped.
    What makes me saddest is that Apple does not respond. Even with so many threads about this problem.
