Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Will the ipad mini work with directv app

    can the ipad mini connect to the directv receiver for the app to work

    If the App connects to the receiver for anything, the Mini will have no issue. Operationally iPads are all the same. They all do the same thing, and as such any App on one will work exactly the same on another iPad that supports the same App.

  • Please tell me, when will the ipad mini arrive in india, i'm eagerly waiting for that !

    Please tell me, when will the ipad mini arrive in india, i'm eagerly waiting for that !

    When Apple has a stock of refurbished iPads they will be sold.
    There is no set time, date or quantity.

  • When will the iPad mini be available online? I need to purchase it soon for school!

    When will the iPad mini be available to purchase online? It says in-store only! It's been like that for the past 2 weeks!

    I am in the same boat. I have a $300.00 gift card that I want to put towards a 64 GB Verizon iPad Mini.
    The Apple store shows them shipping in 1 week for quite a while now. How is it that Best Buy has none of these for a long time now? I mean they are a retailer of Apple Products Right?
    I think I will just sell my gift card and be done with them. It will much less of a headache to just buy from Apple.
    I hate these store gift cards !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was thinking of buying my wife an ipad mini. I already have an ipad, ipod and iphone working on itunes on my PC. Will the ipad mini work along with all the others?

    Hello,
    I was thinking of getting my wife an ipad mini. I use a PC with Windows 7, latest version of itunes installed. From this I have an ipad, ipod and iphone, all of which work perfectly. My question is will the ipad mini also work and be recognised as another device?
    Can I put some of my existing Apps onto the mini?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sure, but only if the new iGadget is "married" to the rest by virtue of having the same AppleID. You will be able to back up, update and upgrade its contents, apps and iOS on the iTunes application on the PC.
    However, if it shares the same AppleID as the rest of your toys, she will be able to read your mail and see your messages, which could eventually lead to battles royal on who said what to whom. So beware, you have been warned.

  • When will the iPad Mini have a GPS for possible aircraft navigation?

    I am a pilot and wanted to know when the iPad Mini will have a GPS that I can use while in flight.

    This. The cellular iPad has had GPS all the way back to the iPad 1. This might be one of the biggest misconceptions about the iPad.
    What?

  • Will the ipad mini cellular function work internationally?

    Interested in purchasing an ipad mini with cellular functionality ... but not sure if the sim slot will work in Jordan. Can anyone shed some light?

    It depends what plan for this card you have. If your data plan includes roaming, then yes - you can use it internationally. Will it work in Jordan I could not say (I guess you are talking about card that would be purchased in Jordan), however as long as sim supports data and it is required type sim it should work.

  • Will the iPad Mini or Air allow me to insert a pre-paid Internet mini chip when not connected to WiFi

    I have a pre-paid Internet chip for my current tablet (not Apple). I use this when I am travelling. I do not want to go onto a plan

    yes, if you had a micro sim and had got some data plans in it, then go head---your ipad can use the cellular internet.
