Wifi for ipad2 dropping

Since 11/30/2012 my wifi at home keeps dropping ipad2 . PC still works great so Iquestion all the references to the router as the problem.  iOS 6 was updated  and worked ok using wpa2,  Tried changing cookies, location,  what is the problem.  tried reset so many times I cannot remember,  Seems to be confused if there are multiple wifi available but not sure.

Try #5.
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

  • Ipad2 dropping wifi

    Ipad2 dropping wifi. There is no rhyme or rhythm to when this happens. Sometimes it takes minutes to get it back, and sometimes much much longer. Sometimes it looses the wifi connection just after it connects. This just started the last 4 months or so and I've had this iPad since it came out.

    It might have nothing to do with your equipment but try unplugging your router for a few minutes and see what happens

  • Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine?

    Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine? Thanks.

    I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
    But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
    Regards.

  • I made a pre-booking for ipad2 wifi cellular, i would like to know whether i can upgrade it to IOS6 n IOS7? and i want to know whether can i use 2G network instead of 3G as the 3G network plan is expensive??? and i want to know whether i can access siri ?

    Siri does Not work on the iPad 2.  iOS 7 is not even out yet, so we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to upgrade to it.

  • My htc-phone provides internet facility through cable/blue-tooth to my windows notebook. It does not have a wifi or hotspot facility.  Can the same internet through blue-tooth work for ipad2.

    My htc-phone provides internet facility through cable/blue-tooth to my windows notebook. My htc-phone does not have a wifi or hotspot facility.  Can the same internet through blue-tooth work for ipad2?

    No, the bluetooth profile in the iPad does not provide that
    capacity. Can your netbook be a wifi transmitter? If yes,
    you can connect to the internet via htc-phone and pass
    the connection to the netbook which will connect via wifi
    to iPad. I am not familiar with the hardware in netbooks nor
    the capabilities of Windows, so what I am suggesting looks
    good in theory but the reality may not allow it. Still worth
    checking into.

  • 3g connection for ipad2 wifi

    Hi can anyone help?before i start i am no comp tech so please dont woffle tech terms or i shall be lost lol ! i have bought hubby ipad2 wifi for his birthday ( saved as hard as i could but couldnt afford 3g version ) how can he connect when there is no wifi available?he hasnt got an iphone so cant run through the data allowance on that but i wondered if there is any devices? it ok when he is in his hotel but during the day he is out and about in his car and cant always find a wifi hotspot !!hope there is a solution :-) thanks

    You can get mifi devices which take a sim card and act as a mobile hotspot. I don't know what country that you are in, but have a look in your country's carriers stores for 'mifi' or 'mobile internet' and see if they have anything available - those that need to be plugged into USB ports (e.g. for use on laptops) won't work with the iPad as it doesn't have a USB port.

  • TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

    I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

    Applied this update?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4611?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
    update if and when it is relased.
    Best.

    Hello joe2616,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi network is dropping, please follow the directions outlined below.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
    If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

  • My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

    My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.
    Best regards,

  • Sharing ethernet from Macbook pro to wifi for my iphone.

    Internet sharing has worked completely fine for me for about 3 weeks up until now.  Now, when I try to connect to the network on my iPhone, it connects for about a second, then drops connection. (This connecting and disconnecting happens rapidly if I stay on the Wi-Fi choice tab on my phone.)  The network shows 3 full bars for connectivity, however when I choose it and the flickering between "choose a network" and the actual network being chosen happens, the 3 bars become greyed out.  It jumps from the list of network up to appearing as the chosen network about 5 times than stops (ending up back on the list to choose from).  I'm not sure why this started.  I tried to connect my friend's tablet to the network and the same thing happened so I know it is a problem with my computer and not my phone.  I've restored and reset network settings on both my phone and macbook several times.  I just installed mavericks today in hopes that it might fix something but the same problem occurs.  My macbook is still able to connect to the internet just fine when sharing is turned on which leads me to believe that the ethernet cord I am using and the port on my macbook are perfectly fine.  I haven't seen any problems similar to the one I am having right now so I am trying to explain it the best I can.  Can anyone help me figure out what is going on and what (if anything) can be fixed?  Also, for the sake of providing all helpful information, I am on a college campus in a dorm room so messing with the router or modem or anything like that is not an option.  The reason I share the ethernet from my macbook to wifi for my phone is because the wifi from the college is horrible and I am forced to use up all of my data quickly while I am in my room unless I can get this sharing to start working again.  If anyone has an possible solutions or theories as to what is happening please let me know! Thank you!

    Hi Slickwill since you added Mavericks today its possible it is the problem. Read some helpful tips from OSX Daily

  • I am unable to connect my mobile hotspot as wifi for ipad - Always dismiss

    I am unable to connect my blackberry mobile hotspot as wifi for ipad  but during connecting message comes as dismiss

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

  • How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch

    How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch (iOS5.1)  & iMac account to Mountain Lion when it was originally sync'd to my account on Loin using my ID?

    Ok, to clarify:
    1. You had the iPad2, iTouch, and iMac account sync'ing on 10.7 Lion under your account?
    2. Now you want change those devices to your wife's Apple ID and maybe a new login account for the wife?
    (Did you upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion on a single iMac that you share?)
    If that's what you meant:
    1. If the devices were activated and sync'd under your Apple ID on your computer then going to a second computer you will receive an error in iTunes about the device being sync'd to a different computer.  You will have to wipe the devices and start over to change that...  You could also end up having Apps installed on the iOS devices some under your AppleID and some under your wife's AppleID.  That can be painful as you need to logout of the App/iTunes stores and switch accounts then update.  You'll see updates available but not be able to update all of them because half are under a different AppleID.
    However, it is possible to share an Apple ID for purchases between devices.  I use my AppleID between my work iPad3, iPhone4S, the wife's iPad2 and iPhone4 as well as my Mac's and the wife's iMac.  This way all purchases are made under one account.  I then setup the wife with her own iCloud account while still using my AppleID for the App/iTunes stores.  All she has to know is the password to my account and I think I can trust the wife with that. 
    Going to need very specific information to provide you the proper course of action to save you time and effort. 

  • Ever since upgrading to lion my wifi has been dropping out constantly is apple going to fix this?

    Ever since upgrading to lion my wifi has been dropping out constantly is apple going to fix this?

    There are two possibilities, 1)it is a software problem which will be fixed.
    2)It is a hardware problem, and youll have to take it to an iStore.
    BUT there is something you should know.
    If your under apple care, its free.
    If you are not under apple care, itll cost you something to find out where the problem is (i dont live in the US so I dont know) and then extra cost for the reapair itself.
