iPad 2 3G and Wifi issues

Hi,

Try resetting network settings...

Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.

Restart the iPad.

If that didn't help, try this link for Wi Fi and 3G support.

I have the AT&T version wifi-3G and was also a first gen iPad user. I've not had any issues with my wifi or 3G service. Have u tried "forget this network" in settings and then resetting ur router and setting it up again?

Sorry that ur having problems. I did see another thread, actually, talking about the same thing. People were having wifi issues with their iPad 2. Do a search for wifi ipad 2. You'll find a couple of threads probably.

I hope you find a solution. FWIW, with my iPad 1, I originally had an older netgear router and had problems. I wanted to get a new, more up to date router anyway and decided on an Apple Airport Extreme and i never had anymore issues. All's well with my iPad 2.

Good luck.

I think I now understand what's going on.
I have only the iPad 1 but I got the same problem.

Let me tell you what happened. I changed my ISP and with this came a new router model. Immediatly I could see problems with my iGadgets to get a wifi stable connection. They could detect the network, they were strong signals, but they kept being unavailable to reach out for the internet, navigate in connected apps, etc.

They were all running iOS4.2

then I changed my routers settings and put a mixed b/g/n connection. And all the problems were gone.

then iOS4.3. came and the problems started again.

What I found very strange was that neither before or after the iOS update I ever had any problems with my wifi connection at the office (by coincidence the same ISP I previously had at home).
So, when I updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS 4.3, even with b/g/n wifi settings I was back to the wifi problems. Right now, I can't be more than 5 minutes connected to the internet.

so, fortuately I didn't updated my gf's iPhone. And she's still on 4.2. Guess what? she doesn't have any wifi problems. This lead me to one conclusion: the problem is iOS4.3

But how to explain that iOS4.3. works flawlessly at the office and gives so much trouble at home? I think that this is due to the routers. So, iOS 4.3 is haveing severe problems with wifi connections with certain router brands.

That's why some people complain but not all.

I have a Thompson TG784 at the office and it works OK
At home it's a Hitron BVW-3653

I hope apple can reproduce the problem and quickly fix it for iOS4.3.1

What I can't understand is why after buying a $800 product I have to go and read 100s of posts to make tis product work.I got the full package light bleed wifi issues ,I have to reconnect every 10-15 min.apple support made me drive to the store,the store told me they can give me a paper to state the issues but they have no replacements"try at a later date or another store".Overall I lost a lot of time and money(my car uses gas to move around) and still no results.I think Apple really rushed out this product in light of the new tablets arriving ,and they really skipped some tests.Buggy product,Im really really disappointed !
