Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

  • [Solved] Atheros AR9271 802.11n usb wifi disconnect with 3.18.5 kernel

    After moderate network traffic, wi-fi will disconnect and the adapter becomes unresponsive.
    I fixed the problem by downgrading to 3.17.6 kernel. This topic is to determine if this is a kernel
    bug or a problem with my setup.
    I am using the ath9k_htc driver.
    The text that floods dmesg is different depending on usb port version.

    Same problem with :
    01:06.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5416 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008 802.11(a)bgn] (rev 01)
    This is a dlink PCI card that i use during 2 years without problem until recently with the last 3.18 kernel. It begin with some error -5 and after error -22. I have to reboot my computer to have wifi back.
    I try to reload the ath9k module with :
    modprobe -r ath9k
    modprobe ath9k
    But the module refuse to load back due to an impossibility to reset hardware (!)
    If someone have a solution

  • Wifi problems with iPhone5 & iPad mini?

    After all updates possible , Wifi connection is completly unstable on both my achines. Very annoying!

    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

  • Wifi connection with new iPad mini

    New iPad mini; cannot connect to mobile wifi router.  Connected successfully with iPhone...Restored iPad as suggested;  reset network settings.. running 6.0.2 on iPad.  Still get Unable to Join Network.

    You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Wifi Disconnects for every 2 Min

    I have problem with my wifi connection to iphone.
    It connects and again disconnects for every 2min.    

    Hello Ram,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping over and over every couple of minutes. I would try the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    First this section:
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    And if needed, this section toward the bottom:
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Wifi concerns replacing eMac with new mac mini

    I have an eMac (PPC) which is currently maxed out at 10.5.8.  I was thinking of upgrading to a mac mini.  My only concern is that I currently have an old mac mini (late 2006) and it's ability to use wifi with its internal airport interface is severely limited.  The only placment I have found this mac mini to reliably work in is if the mac mini and the wifi router (belkin) are located in the same room.  The eMac I'm thinking about replacing is on a different floor than the router it's airport interface just works, as do all of our laptops.  I understand that some the wifi problems with this mac mini might have to do with the antenna placement in its chassis.  So my question is has Apple improved the reliability of the airport interface in the mac mini ?

    The router is really NOT the issue as far as I can tell.  Laptops situated right next to the mac mini have no problem getting and maintaining a connection.  The eMac with a much older airport card and situated on the same floor as the mac mini, maintains its connection as well.  The late 2006 mac mini initially starts off with a good connection but within 10-20 minutes after startup, the connection goes bad, and won't return no matter how many times one reboots.  If I shutdown the mac mini and restart it after an hour or so, the connection becomes solid again for about 10-20 minutes.  Interestingly, when the mac mini is in the same room as the router, the connection starts out solid and stays solid. 
    My concern, from what I can tell, is that the basic chassis design of the new mac minis don't appear to be that much different in concept than my late 2006 mac mini, except for missing the CD R/W drive and being more compact.  Is there an inherent design flaw in the mac mini (older and current versions) that degrades wifi connectivity in cases where the mac mini is not within line of site of the router?

  • Why my mac mini wifi disconnects from wifi using  arris modem

    i have the 2013 mini mac , and i have problems with my wifi, im using arris modem, the mini mac disconnect from wifi every 10 or 20 min ?

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
    Step 4
    This step will erase some of your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Recreate your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • I can't be the only one with this issue. MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 WiFi disconnects after waking up from sleep.

    Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
    I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
    Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
    I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
    If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
    I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
    I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
    I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
    I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
    Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
    Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

    You're definitely not the only one.  I have the same issue.  I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked.  They finally sent me a replacement laptop.  I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying.  I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
    My router is a Linksys E2000.  I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there.

    What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer.  So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.
