Access WiFi Vs 3G

Sep 2, 2010

What happen if there is available both: Wi-Fi and 3G, what is the ipadīs criteria to choose what connection to use. I have read 3G is used IF no wi-fi is available, but also read somewhere else it uses the most reliable connection, which is a bit uncertain.

Limited Wifi Range/Unable To Access Any Public Wifi ?

Dec 8, 2010

Hi, not sure if I've seen this topic covered, so here goes:
I've had 4.2 OS since implementation with no problems with the wifi...until this past weekend. Then, I logged onto wifi at a motel.

Unable to get new connection following morning. Unable to access any public wifi since. I'm back home, and can't connect to my wifi unless I am literally one foot from my router, signal so low as to be ridiculous. Tried multiple trusted routers and reset multiple times at my home, friends' homes, etc. Also, have tried:

re-set all settings, including network settings; brightness up; join network on/off; factory reset, back to square one. NOTHING. Bought 1.5 weeks ago. I know it's not the routers, have used multiple brands/types with no joy.

No problem accessing wifi network at home but often have problems at other private locations even when using correct password. E.g. I cannot access the Internet at my mother's house and I know the password is correct because I set it up and it works for my laptop.

Two Known WIFI Access Points - Keeps Swapping To One

Aug 16, 2010

I have an ipad for work purposes. In our office there are TWO wireless access points.

I have entered the passwords for both so I can use either. The problem we are having (this is affecting both the ipads we have in the office) is I will choose the AP i want to be connected to, this AP is on the main LAN so I can surf from the ipad to my development web server.

The problem is the ipad will randomly (and often) swap to the other AP. This AP is just connected to an ADSL modem and it NOT on our LAN. So once the ipad swaps I sit there waiting for my web pages to load until I am informed the Safari cannot find the server. At this point I will go into the ipad settings and see that it has connected to the other AP.

Why is this happening? Better - how do I stop it happening (short of forgetting one of the AP's). This isn't a solution it's an annoying workaround.

Any ideas why it drops the first AP? Any ideas why it doesn't rejoin the first AP?

I really want to understand what is happening here. If you need further clarification let me know and i'll attempt to explain better.

File Access Or Transfer Via Wifi Network

Jun 9, 2010

Is there a way to access files (e.g. Word, Excell) that are on my desktop PC via my wifi network? The Apple saleman said no; you'll have to somehow use iTunes to transfer the file.If I have to use iTunes, how do I do that? And where do the files end up? If I boot up an app to edit one of these files, does it ask me which files to open?

Wifi Drive Access Via Time Capsule

Jul 29, 2010

Hi, I am a newbie with the ipad and loving it but only have a 16g model so wondered if there are any ways to connect to say a wifi drive like the time capsule, assuming I am not in a wifi spot, if you see? In other words, something like the air stash but as am in the UK and cant get it as yet, thought there might be a hack with a portable wifi point.

Limited Access To ITunes Over Some WiFi Sites

Aug 6, 2010

I was in the hospital and wanted to download a movie via wifi from iTunes. When I would access iTunes I would not see what I expected based on views I have Seen previous, I was unable to even view a trailer let alone make a purchase. The hospitals IT manager did not understand why I would have any restrictions on their free access site. I called apple care and they would have been happy to help but I am past my free help period. When I came home everything was back to normal. Does this make sense? Is there a difference between what you can do on one site to another? And assuming there is what can I do to workaround? Information :Ipad iPhone OS 3.1.3.

Won't Connect To Wifi / How To Configure To Access WPA2- PSK

Aug 9, 2010

First I was running WEP to support bridged networking but the iPad would not connect because the core OS developers have nothing written to support the most basic of protocols.

So I tore my bridge apart and implemented WPA2-PSK with AES encryption but when I try to connect with this protocol my iPad reports 'unable to join network'.

Does anyone know how to configure this to access WPA2-PSK.

Information:
iPad
iOS 4
