iPad connected to wifi unable to reconect to internet

After weeks of operation at home, my iPad can not reconnect to the internet. Connect to wifi, IP address is 169.254.181.xxx, subnet mask 255.255.0.0. I have 3 other devices that are able to connect. Safari message reads: “Cannot open page safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet”

Have a Verizon FiOS Router, Actiontec MI424WR, WEP. I’ve rebooted router, renew lease, reset network settings, debug console finds no errors, tried proxy off , tried proxy auto and restarted the device with no luck. Don’t think it a router firm issue because this has worked for several weeks. Any suggestions?

iPad, Windows XP

Hi all,

I have a issue with my IPAD.. It connects to my corporate Wi-Fi but won't allow me to connect to my intranet sites. I have tried using ip address of the site too but no go. Rest all sites are getting connected except this. Any quick help would be highly appreciated.


Its an IPAD ios 5.0.. I used to get connected to intranet sites prev when I was using 4.0 but recently upgraded it to 5.0. Will that make much difference.? Please help

For those who are using a ad-hoc via laptop and not able to access internet all of a sudden in your iphone,pls check out the following.(for windows 7 using mcafee)

1.Reset ur mcafee firewall settings to default

2.Go to Ports and system services in firewall settings

3.open following ports-143,137-139,common operating ports,3389,443,80

4.create a new ad-hoc and try again(FOR NORTON AND OTHER USERS,pls refer to ur respective providers for similar ports and authentications)


For those using two or more iphones/other devices but not able to access internet in only one iphone,check out the following.

1.Turn wi-fi in iphone off and again on

2.Go to the desired wi-fi u wanna connect and connect

3.After connection is established,press the arrow in the right corner of the selected ntwrk

4.Click "FORGET THIS NETWORK"

5.When done,CONNECT AGAIN.SHOULD BE DONE.

Having same issue! I have a linksys dual band router, I took that off the network and set up my time capsule to be the router because it is single band. Now I can connect with iPad 2 but only if I am in the same room with the router; given that I live in new York and like most, have a modest apartment, I would expect that I can connect from all rooms. Other wise connection drops contionously. Next step...I set airport express to extend network in said modest apartment...results are poor. If I sit two feet from airport express it works fine but sitting on the couch 10 feet away (a mere 40 feet from the time capsule) I lose the connection. This only happened after last upgrade to iPad software; prior my iPad worked like a champ with dual band router. I haven't seen legitimate post to deal with this yet...brightness...give me a break...assigned ip address...seriously?

Similar issue. iPad1, Airport Extreme wifi, Netgear router (I'm in South Africa temporarily). My ancient MacBook Pro connects just fine, and my iPad gets the wireless signal and worked fine for several days. Now it still gets signal but won't connect to the internet. I have turned of the iPad, turned off the router, turned off the airport, "forgotten" the connection and re-entered the password, etc, but nothing has solved the connectivity problem. Don't know how to do the static IP solution. Is that my only option? Stunned that this is such a pervasive problem.
