Wifi stops passing traffic on original ipad and ipad 2 running ios 5.0.1

I actually just started having this issue with my Original iPad and my iPad 2. From what I'm seeing is not a loss of signal but a loss of connectivity, they just stop passing traffic. When this is happening its sometimes to both iPads but not always. And both our iPhones do not experience the issue while the iPads are having the problem. (all devices running ios 5 and connected to the same AP). Wired devices also do not have any issues wile this is happening to the iPads.
What I have tried so far:
1. Changing Channels on the AP to a less congested channel (didn't help)
2. Shutting wifi off on ipad, then turning back on, solves issue for a random amount of time, then it happens again
3. Rebooting ipad, sometimes does not help at all until you turn off the radio on the ipad, then back on
I was ready to get a new router/ap but after reading some other comments, this may be an issue with other people.

I have exactly the same issue on my brand new iPad2 running iOS5.
I have also changed the channel, tried different settings, etc. to no avail.
It tends to happen when streaming video - Skype, YouTube. Also during movie downloads.
My pc does not have this problem.
We're you able to find a reliable solution?
Thanks!

  • Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3.  I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

    I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions.  Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3.  I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine.  I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider.  Thank you so much.

    That is correct, so I have just been told!!  Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer.  All this has been working for years.  The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine.  We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads.  I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks.  Before that all worked perfectly fine. 
    By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

  • 5505 stops passing traffic with 9.1.3

    I have a 5505 setup in my home office.  It generally works well but I noticed when I upgraded it to 9.1.2.8 it would stop passing traffic after a few days.  I figured this was just the interim release blues and waited until 9.1.3 came out.  However, with 9.1.3 the problem is even worse.  I'm actually not exactly sure what's going on.  Here's what I've noticed:
    I get a lot of DNS connections with the "h" flag (H.225 traffic) set.  This seems like it might have some relation to the problem:
    UDP outside  216.218.130.2:53 inside  192.168.234.146:50705, idle 0:00:18, bytes 534, flags h
    I also get these in 9.1.2 (which works fine), but far fewer.  When traffic stops passing on my ASA, I notice that I have tons of these connections in 9.1.3.
    When traffic stops passing, the ASA itself can no longer get to the Internet.  I can't ping my Comcast router (actually in my office, L2 adjacent to ASA).  I also have some SLA probes going to the Internet which fail.  If I do a clear conn all, then everything starts working again for a while.  The BTF (dynamic-filter) feature seems to make it worse.  If I remove it (remove dynamic-filter-snoop part) then it takes a lot longer before it stops passing traffic:
    policy-map global_policy
    class inspection_default
      inspect dns dns-ipm dynamic-filter-snoop
    What's really strange, is even if I remove all service-policy commands, I still get connections with the "h" flag.  I don't believe that should be possible so perhaps a bug?
    Ideas?

  • Switch port in dot1x multi-auth mode stops passing traffic

    Dear All,
    I am experiencing a problem on a Catalyst 4510 (cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-53.SG.bin) with 802.1x configured. Client PCs are connected via a mini desktop switch to a Cat 4510 switched port in multi-auth mode. The configuration of the port follows:
    interface GigabitEthernet2/34
    switchport mode access
    ip arp inspection limit rate 30
    authentication host-mode multi-auth
    authentication port-control auto
    authentication periodic
    authentication timer reauthenticate server
    dot1x pae authenticator
    dot1x timeout tx-period 5
    dot1x max-reauth-req 6
    spanning-tree portfast
    ip verify source vlan dhcp-snooping
    end
    It happens from time to time that the Cat 4510 port stops passing traffic. Reconnecting the mini switch recovers the communication. Client PCs connected to the mini switch seem to be authorized at the moment when the problem occures. The RADIUS Termination-Action attribute is set to RADIUS-Request. The problem is not present if "authentication periodic" is disabled.
    Did anyone experience a simmilar problem? Any advice?
    Thanks.

  • TS1702 i have the original ipad it is running iOS 5.1.1 - i tried to install Procreate and error message said this application needed iOS 6 - went back to itunes and downloaded iOs 6 and installed it on computer then resynced the ipad - but doesent update

    i have the original ipad it is running iOS 5.1.1 - i tried to install Procreate and error message said this application needed iOS 6 - went back to itunes and downloaded iOs 6 and installed it on computer then resynced the ipad - but doesent update to 6  - anyone have a suggestion???

    I contacted apple and they checked and yes the originsl ipad cant support ios 6 - so cant use procreate have also checked the procreate website and it appears they advised itunes of this - ideally there should end up being two versions of procreate - one for ios 5 and one for ios 6 -
    dont want to sell the current ipad and get another - at this stage - for the amount of usage it gets not worth the expense
    thanks

  • Imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok

    imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok.
    Itunes 11.3
    7.1.2 iPod touch 32gb, V/ 5th generation
    I just don't get it. I got the iPod from a friend which didn't use it at all. If I connect my iPad or iPad mini to my mac, they all get connected well and iTunes sees them too. iPod touch not for some reason
    The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...
    please help!

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

    my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

    If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
    To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
    1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
    2) swipe to power off
    3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
    4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
    If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
    If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • My iPad is still running iOS 5.1.1 which is old.  When I check for update it says up to date.  Have tried to update via Pad and iTunes to no avail.  How do I get updated iOS?

    I have fist gen iPad.  Still running iOS 5.1.1   When I attempt to update via usual mens I get response that it's up to date which is untrue.  I've tried to update via the Pad itself and via iTunes with the same response on both.  How do I get the updated iOS?

    Just because you don't have the latest software means your ipad is unusable. Many times you can still download older versions of the apps. Check Texas Mac Man's answer from yesterday for some possible solutions,
    Is there a version of Pages I can download for ios5.1.1?
