Wifi will not stay connected on iPad Air 1

I Got a new iPad air as a gift from kids, Dec. 2013 to replace my iPad 1. this new iPad has never been able to stay connected to wifi...if I step away from using it for more than 20 min. I have to go into settings to reconnect. Everyday, all day long this has been an issue! For more than a year now ATT has been to my home and on the phone trying to resolve issues...new router/modems....run new wires....etc. I have documentation form office of the president for these issues For the past year. 3 days ago an ATT trouble support person concluded it was an Apple issue and told me to call them. I have been two days of troubleshooting over the phone with Apple Support and nothing could be fixed, they said never heard of the issue.....but I see hundreds of this issue online.....so they set up for me to have it replaced with a new one of the same....took it in last night 1/30/2015, since I have all documentation for the past year there would be no charge, but I lose my engraved iPad. Ok so get it home, set it up, restore and all those things.....working fine. Get up the next morning and guess what?? Safari cannot get a connection....mail cannot update....games won't updat....ALL of the exact same issues.  This ipad has a 90 day warranty......what is my solution to this ongoing very nerve wracking problem? all my other wireless products stay connected all the time...printer, laptops, iPhone 5s....other brands of phones....so far no problem with iPhone 6, but that phone is not here full time to check daily. I don't think I can take to much more of this run around....what is the solution please?
Yes, everything has been tried.....reboot every product involved...reset....everything. What is Apples solution for this issue? Yes my iPad is updated. Thanks.

I Was wondering if the iPad 2 had the same issues....could be a combo of things of ATT and apple. what I don't get is there are hundreds of posts everywhere about this issue and not one single way to fix it. We won't update any of  our other apple products until I have a solution for mine...just in case it is related to the newer versions. LLike I was trying to tell Apple.....I have done every trouble solution with them and ATT that they have told me to and with them on the phone and still does the same thing. The techs have been to our house lots of times this past year....they can verify what is happening, they just can't figure out why.

  • Wifi will not stay connected after Lion upgrade - help?

    I upgraded to Lion last week on my iMac and now my computer will not stay connected to wifi...  it is fine if I restart my computer, but then it looses its connection, settings when it goes in to screen saver mode - very frustrating, please help!

    This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
    (There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
    Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
    I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
    My Airport card specs are:
      Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x86)
      Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
              PHY Mode:          802.11a
    The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
    After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
    These are the changes I made:
    Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
    Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
    Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
    Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
    My Mini now connects on:
    PHY Mode:          802.11g
    Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          54
    instead of previously
    PHY Mode:          802.11a
    Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate: 36
    This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
    The iMac is still connecting on
    PHY Mode:          802.11n
    Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
    Transmit Rate:          216
    and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

  • IPhone 5 wifi symbol greyed out/wifi will not stay connect?

    I had an iphone 5 that was having some battery issues, so I took it in and they replaced it with a new 5 (16 gig). I restored my backup, and when the restore was done, I couldn't turn on the wifi. The pull up setting was blacked out and in settings I couldn't move the switch to 'on'. I rebooted the phone, and that fixed the problem for a little bit. Eventually my wifi connection would either disconnect and quickly reconnect or just turn off all together. This can't be a wifi issue, since my ipad and my families apple devices are working fine. I've tried deleting my phone and using it as a new one, reseting the network settings (multiple times) and almost everything I can think of. This has been going on for a few weeks, and every time the wifi cuts out I have to either reboot the phone multiple times, or, if I get lucky, just turn it off and then on again. Its getting annoying and I don't know how to fix it without switching to a new, non apple device, which I really don't want to do. Any advice?  (i have the newest software btw, updating changed nothing)

    Hello emconway,
    Check against the article below with the troubleshooting that you have done. You also said that you had your iPhone replaced and it still has at least a 90 day warranty on it if it was serviced by Apple, so you may need to take it back to have it looked it.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of your iPad
    2. Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Try adding your SSID and Password manually
    Settings>Wi-Fi>Other...>Other Network

  • My Macbook will not stay connected to the internet, while my Dell computer works fine. Why? What can I do?

    My sister and I both have Macbook Pros that will not stay connected to our internet (wifi). Our dell computers and HP computers in the household work great- but both of the Macs do not stay connected, and often say "you are not connected to the internet". I have saved our wifi name to the computer so it is registered as our home network- but it still will not work fast or stay connected for long periods of time. Is there a setting I need to change, or anything I can do? Very disappointed with how the Mac works with our wifi.

    Mac's will have trouble connecting to WEP Encrpyted and/or "hidden" / "invisible " networks.
    OpenWEP (insecure) or WPA2(AES) is the only secure standard.
    ..WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    Also make sure the date and time are current and updating to Apple's servers for your location in System Preferneces > Date and Time. Then reboot and reconnect.
    If your still having trouble after this, take both machines back to the store for a free evaluation.

  • TS1369 I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not in itunes. At this point my ipod is connected to my computer but when it finishes syncing it's no

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

  • WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed,  he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

  • Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble

    I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?
