Wifi wont stay on


Is your wireless connection dropping or when you say "wifi wont stay on" do you mean that your wifi connection just completely goes away for periods of time? You may want to contact AT&T by calling them at 1-800-288-2020 and requesting a new gateway if your wireless continues to go away.

First, try powering your iPad off, then turn it back on. Second, plug your iPad into your computer and sync it with iTunes. This will make sure you are up to date and can often resolve quirky issues like you are experiencing.

    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.
    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.

  • Samsung Charge wont stay on 3G

    My new charge and my wifes wont stay on 3G networks.  We have to restart the phone and then it will restart with 3 g service and after about 5 minutes or less it goes back to regular service with no connectability.  What is up with that.  It happens everytime,  restart,  3g for 5 minutes and then back to regular service.  My friends can be sitting right next to me with there phones that aren't the Charge and they all have 3g.  Any ideas.

    Hello paperclips,
    I’m sorry to hear you’re still having difficulties with your device not staying on 3G. Do you notice this is happening in particular areas or is it happening everywhere? If it's happening everywhere I would recommend you do a factory reset following these steps:
    Go to Menu
    Go to  Settings
    Go to  Privacy
    Select Factory data reset from the Personal data section
    Select Reset phone. Keep in mind this will erase all data from your phone but it won't erase current system software, bundled applications and SD card files like photos and music.
    If it's only happening in certain areas please reach out to our technical support team at 866-892-7957 to open a trouble ticket for the area.

  • I was mid facetime call and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on until i plugged it in. then the date was wrong,it said no service, and wont let me turn wifi on. also it wont stay on for more than a few minutes at a time

    i was mid facetime call and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on until i plugged it in. then the date was wrong,it said no service, and wont let me turn wifi on. also it wont stay on for more than a few minutes at a time. Help?

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

  • IPad 2 wont stay connected to wifi after iOS 6 update

    Since my latest update a few weeks ago, my ipad wont stay connected to wifi networks.  Has anyone found a solution to this? Why would the latest update have impacted this function?

    I tried the suggestion, from another post, to reset the network settings and that did not work.

  • As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3

    As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3

    Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
    Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
    Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
    The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
    All of these have worked for someone, but not for most.

  • HELP!! Macbook wont stay connected automatically to wifi? why?

    I live in apartments with tons of wifi signals. I have a secured wifi and no matter how many times i enter my password and everything my macbook wont stay connect automatically to my home wifi.
    I have to use diagnostic assistance every time to connect to my wifi. It wont work. I have read some of these other forums but the suggestions don't work. Tried adding unsecured wifi signals to preferred and move to bottom and mine to top. no luck. I don't understand the DNS option so i didn't try it. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE, ANYONE
    THANKS!

    When you live in an area with lots of wifi signals you are in a situation that may cause degradation to your own wifi network.
    When the 54g channels were created it turned out only 3 of those channels can be used, 1, 6 or 11.
    all the other channels bleed.
    So you should use a wireless sniffer such as air radar
    Then look for the 3 strongest signals that are close to you. Then change the channel your wifi is broadcasting on to channel number 1, 6 or 11.
    Unfortunately you may find that no matter what channel you use you are going to be close to someone else on the same channel.
    The solution is to upgrade your network to a wireless N network. Using the 5ghz high band channels you have many more channels to use.
    regarding your network diagnostics dont list any other network other than your own in the preferred networks. Regarding DNS your router should automatically assign a dns server.

  • Ipod touch wont stay connected at home

    Ipod touch 5th gen wont stay connected to wifi at home while it is locked. this inhabits me from getting alerts when i want them most, at home. it stays connected the the server at school and at all my friends houses, but not mine here at home. i did the network reset on my ipod and it still disconnects. any ideas?

    Power off and then back on your router
    Get a new router.
    Since it only happens with your home network that indicates a problem with your home network

  • Screen Cracked and replaced, now phone wont stay on, and now i cant get it to turn back on

    about 3 days ago i dropped my phone and the screen cracked.  Although it was cracked it still worked fine with no issues and the new ios6 was installed prior to it breaking.  I brought it to a iphone repair store where they fixed the screen.  After a day i noticed the phone just turned itself off so i put it on the charger and returned and it was working.  ever since then it has now shut off randomly for no reason, battery was either fully charged or more than 50%.  I hooked it up to my computer to restore it today and it seemed to work for about 3 or 4 hours until it started to turn off on its own.  i would restart it and it would work for a shorter and shorter period of time until now it wont stay on at all.  i plugged it into the charger and it goes through the apple powerup screen and when it turns on it says searching for network in the top left corner.  when i press apps and such it is very laggy and it eventually freezes and the screen fades to black and the cell phone turns off.  I cannot get it to stay on now, even when it stays plugged into the charger...HELP PLEASE!!! is this an apple issue or something the repair shop may be responisble for?????

    The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

    I had this same issue. I spent time on live chat with Apple Support last night. I went through all of their trouble shooting. This included: making sure airplane mode is off; resetting the network settings; and finally doing a factory reset (2 times) and restoring my phone. None of these worked. The support tech told me that the "WiFi radio is not functioning" which is a hardware problem. Only thing you can do is have the phone serviced or replaced. Hopefully you are still under warranty so it doesn't cost you anything. But if not, sounds like it will be about $199 to replace, according to other posts.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
