Wifi Connectivity Failure

Aug 19, 2010

I've had my Wifi iPad 32Gb since launch and have had Wifi connection problems since that launch day. I've had no problems initially connecting to my wireless network, the problem is that the connection seems to drop-out, i.e. it just stops working. It says it's connected, but it doesn't work It goes something like this: I will be merrily browsing in Safari and suddenly no web pages - on any websites I try - will load. I quit, and try Mail. It can't check my email either. Now, if I wait long enough (several minutes), the Wifi signal strength icon will flash off and then on again, and it will work again. Alternatively I can go into Settings and switch Wifi off and on again, and it will work fine.

WiFi Connectivity - WEP Vs WAP

Jul 10, 2010

First off, the only WiFi I have is Verizon FIOS. I have it at home, at work, and at my boss's house. I haven't tried hotspots, so I'm not sure how that reacts.
The problem is the iPad won't remember the password for the WiFi. Worse, now it won't even connect. Originally, the router was set up for WEP; Apple Support said they were having problems with Verizon, change the router to WAP, which was done. But now it's worse than it was with WEP. The only GOOD thing is that the WAP password is easier to remember than the WEP

3G - WiFi Connectivity

Jun 6, 2010

My 3G + WiFi model only connects via the 3G? I check settings and it shows my WiFi id, but on the top left corner of the unit it reads AT&T. Does this mean I am on 3G? How can I check whether I am on Wifi or 3G? I was told it would automatically use WiFi.

Wifi Connectivity With 3rd-gen?

Mar 16, 2012

When setting up the new iPad, I'm invited to connect to a wifi network. I try the one my computer and iPhone are connected to. The iPad just spins... FWIW, I've recently updated my TimeCapsule and am using WPA2 personal security. The "pie" slice in the upper-left corner does light up, but the iPad never goes beyond the "Wifi" setup page. When I try to force it to move on, it asks "Do you want to continue without Wifi?" No! I also tried this on our corporate network. One of the SSIDs there did work - which is open without security. Our other SSID, that also uses WPA, had the same result. Why won't my new iPad work over wifi?

Wifi Has Limited Connectivity

Sep 8, 2010

I have posted issues several times now without ever getting any answers. So here is the third attempt.WEP security, while not reliable at all due to the use of PSK, is required for bridging multiple AP's into a the central router. The passkey is passed into the PSK encryption routine and to create a minor level of protection, the encryption populates one of 4 keys. In windows when I connect to a WEP network the login screen provides the passkey and a field for identifying which key is being used. ISSUE: iPad login asks only for the passkey and NOT the key number. This is a bug and it seems the only way to get around this is to configure the router for key 1. Regardless this is a bug as the process should request which key to use.

IPad 2 Wifi Connectivity?

Mar 14, 2011

I got my iPad 2 on Friday and have been loving it so far but for iPad 2 owners, have any of you had an issue with your iPad where it says it has wifi connectivity and doesn't load web pages? I have an iPhone too and my phone constantly has connectivity but my iPad will intermittently stop connecting to the Internet. The only way I've found to fix the problem is to reset the iPad.

Anyway, long story short, has anyone else had problems with their iPad 2 losing connectivity nut still showing it's connected to the Internet.

Wifi...but No Internet Connectivity?

Jan 6, 2011

I am having MAJOR problems with my Ipad, more specifically its connectivity. The apple support line has been of no use whatsoever so I'm counting on you guys to help me out if anyone has had similar problems?

If I can explain the issues maybe you guys can help....

I currently use my 32gb wifi only Ipad by connecting to an ad-hoc network set up on my laptop. I dont have a router as such, just a 3g dongle (which plugs into my usb port) and a wireless card inside my pc. I select 'setup a new ad-hoc network' in the network and sharing centre and then when I turn on Wifi on my Ipad it finds the network and connects with full strength. However when I open safari or anything requiring online content it tells me it is not connected to the internet.

I had this issue when I first got the Ipad, now the support staff at apple told me that 'it wasnt possible' in any case... However I tried a couple more times then it did connect to my wireless network and suddenly would connect to the internet.... I didnt do anything different, it just suddenly worked.

Today for an unexplained reason it has just stopped working. When I access the settings associated with the 'connected' network, the IP address begins 169, which I understand means something is wrong... however I feel a bit stuck because most people connect via a fixed home broadband hub or such and most things i can find refer to those with proper broadband, whereas my wireless signal is coming from the laptop itself (I asssure you it has worked for the past week though).

This is really stressing me out now as it did work, and I dont know what I did. I'm not especially computer/network literate could anyone who has any ideas talk me through it step by step? Just to summarise, Im running windows Vista, creating an ad-hoc network, and connecting via that. The signal is full but the IP starts 169. and subsequently doesnt work. It began to work last week, but I didnt change anything.

IPad 3 Connectivity To WiFi

May 5, 2012

I have a 16 gb iPad3, wifi only, and this is the first iPad I've had (though I've been an Apple Mac user since the early days). When I first connected up to my wifi at home, everything was fine. Ever since I connected to wifi at a friend's house, however, I haven't been able to maintain my connection at home.

"Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed." "Cannot Open Page" "Not connected to the internet" - and this is despite the fact that a good signal is showing. We googled this problem - found a lot of fellow sufferers.

Wifi Connectivity Of 4G Versus WiFi-only?

Mar 27, 2012

I've almost rationalized keeping the wifi iPad and returning the 4G one. My logic is that I use it mostly at home and work and don't want to pay for multiple cellular connections. I surely will own a 4G enabled phone (either Samsung galaxy s3 or iPhone 5 if the display stops being tiny) in the summer, and plan to instead rue chase a tethering plan for it. Also, my 4G iPad has noticeable background bleeding on one side which the WiFi version doesn't have. Anyway, while I was using the WiFi-only version this evening I noticed that the connection is intermittent and varies between one bar and 3 bars while I'm sitting in the exact same location of our house. The actual network speed seems to vary accordingly. I never noticed that behavior with the 4G enabled iPad that I've been using over the last 10 days.

I've read of people having problems with their wifi on some models, but didn't see any discussion of a possible correlation between model and connection issues, i.e. in particular whether the 4G model had the issues and the wifi one didn't, or vice versa.

Furthermore, I wonder whether the fact that the 4G model has a plastic bar on the top of the case affects wifi reception to any extent? Looking at the ifixit tear down it seems as if the wifi and 4g antennas are sitting very close inside the iPad, however it is not clear whether either of them sits near the plastic bar. But I find it hard to interpret the pictures ifixit posted.
